Guerlain's Shalimar L'Essence, in a 1.65L bottle decorated by Franco-Brazilian artist Janaïna Milheiro and inspired by Frida Kahlo. "Adorned with flowers and feathers, the bottle vibrates with a flamboyant energy, echoing Frida Kahlo’s ‘floral portraits’. It’s an ode to the luxuriant landscapes and captivating soul of the Casa Azul, from which the Mexican artist drew an essential part of her creativity. With infinite meticulousness, Janaïna Milheiro arranges feathers and flowers one by one, infusing the timeless silhouette of Shalimar with an abundance of color. Each bottle is then sublimated by a traditional barbichage, a nod to the ancestral skills of the Guerlain workshops. A masterful fusion of substance and emotion." 66 were made, price unknown (probably if you have to ask...)

Or, third option and the one I will take, do nothing and go on about your business.
