From Etiket in Canada, the Les Lilas du Voisin candle: "When you take your morning walk, you always turn left. Maybe it’s habit, or maybe it’s the avalanche of lilacs erupting from your neighbour’s yard, pulling you eternally in that direction. This is the smell of the few blossoms you steal from those branches, glancing furtively at their front window before dashing away. With notes of lilac, airy muguet, and a touch of freshly tilled garden soil, light this candle to feel like a kid again. Walk fast and inhale greedily." $68 for 350g.

Soap on a rope, for a cause: "Our founder’s late father created the ‘Tectona Trust’, an organisation which helps those struggling with mental health issues and drug and alcohol dependency to rehabilitate themselves, using skills learned on traditional sailing vessels. In his memory we wanted to make a soap to assist the charity raise funds... and here it is. Hand poured, hand cut and hand wrapped... 100% natural, coloured with activated charcoal and fragranced with BeauFort London’s Vi Et Armis. All proceeds from the sale of this soap are donated to the Tectona Trust." Limited edition, £15 at Beaufort London.

Yet another spendy number from Guerlain to honor the 170th birthday of the bee bottle, although this one came out before the one I posted on Friday, and this one features a new fragrance: Reve d’Amour (a festival of white flowers" with mandarin, petitgrain, benzoin, cedar and ambrette), in a bottle from Lebanese designer Nadine Kanso, featuring the word "Love" in Swarovski-crystal-and 24-karat-gold-gilded calligraphy. 30 were made, 1 liter for £13,500.

And meanwhile, this year's Muguet is now available on the Guerlain website, $750.

An(other) extravaganza from Guerlain to honor the 170th birthday of the bee bottle: Bouquet de la Mariée in the Murano edition from glassmaker Aristide Najean. The flacon “incorporates sculptural flowers flecked with 24-karat gold, delicately arranged to appear as though they are pouring out of the flacon; like with the original iteration, golden bees adorn the exterior. The center of the bottle displays the date April 30, 1853 — the day the bee bottle was born”.

If you can come up with $27,000 by the 1st of May, one of the ten could be yours…
