A special edition of Acqua di Parma Lily of the Valley for Valentine's Day: "An artistic combination of two olfactive sensations where the lively and powerful scent of Lily of the Valley is enhanced by vibrant and luminous citrus notes. An ode from the Lily of the Valley to the Italian sun, this Valentine's Day special edition celebrates romance where fragrance becomes poetry. Adorned with a paper charm and a love message sealed with a golden wax, the fragrance bottle becomes a poetic love letter embodying the perfect expression of scent and love at first bloom." £212 for 100 ml at Acqua di Parma in the UK.

The second set of limited edition collector bottles from the latest capsule collection for Louis Vuitton by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. It's the same three fragrances as the first drop (Spell on You, L’Immensité and Attrape-Rêves; see the first set here) but in lively graphic designs, including the artist's pumpkin motif for L’Immensité, instead of the Kusama Dots. Due to launch in March. I don't know the price but the first set were $365 each. You can read more (and see an image of the Kusama decorations for the Louis Vuitton flagship store) at Vogue.
