From Byredo, a collector edition of Black Saffron. "Introducing a new, highly limited collector’s edition. For the first time, the bottle of Black Saffron is transformed – its iconic white label replaced by a firey marble print. Inspired by the spice that forms the heart of the fragrance, the 100ml Eau de Parfum is presented in a matching marbled box." 990 AED at Sephora in the United Arab Emirates (probably about $270 USD).
It's not sold out yet but it would not surprise me if it was gone soon: the Shake Shack candle duo from Apotheke, which launched today. Burger in the Park ("The first bite of a burger in the fresh Spring air of Madison Square Park. Green grass and fresh tomato help the Spring air come to life, while floral notes of daffodil, magnolia, and redbud petals capture the essence of the park in bloom. Notes of griddle smoke and the iconic scent of the Shack-Burger captured by our ScentTrek technology create a savory, yet perfectly balanced first bite") and Shake N Fries ("The first dip of a salty French fry into a creamy milkshake. Notes of sweet vanilla, malted milk, and our signature Pastry Cream Delight accord create the signature sweet and indulgent experience of the classic Shake Shack vanilla shake. The unexpected, yet delicious addition of fried potato with a touch of delicate sea salt adds an additional level of surprise and delight, and keeps you coming back for just one more bite") are $42 at Apotheke.
As long as we're catching up (a bit — I am pretty sure I've missed way more) on Caron today, here is the Les Colognes Caron collection, introduced last summer ("Exuberant sillages, rich compositions, daring statements... When CARON attaches its name to the world of Colognes, it shakes up the codes ! Who said fresh scents had to be fleeting? Our perfumer Jean JACQUES has defied every archetype, designing five fragrances that are both powerful and invigorating"), with five fragrances (left to right, L'Invitation Au Voyage, L'Invisible Qui Luit, Champ Bleu Du Ciel, Ivre De Liberté and L'Heure Vagabonde) in gorgeous engraved bottles, apparently only available in their Paris boutique. If you want one, you have to call or stop by. I have no idea what they cost, but I'm sure I'll take the lot.
