I don't know about you, but I find there is a special sort of joy in looking at limited edition bottles I covet, so long as they hold juice I like but don't love, and as an added bonus they're already sold out so I don't have to waste time thinking about whether I should buy one. Here is Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, a scent I would probably never use up even if it was in 10 ml, in a 50 ml bottle, "dressed in a tulle printed with Dr. Woo's exclusive tattoos directly inspired by the Haute Couture 2021-22 Gaultier Paris by Sacai fashion show". I believe it came out this summer, and maybe you can still find one if you really want it, and if you're intrigued by the design, you can read about the Gaultier Paris by Sacai Fall/Winter 2021 Haute Couture collection here. (And this winter you can also find Classique and Le Male in holiday sweaters, here and here.)

Another chance for a limited edition bottle from Jo Malone for Holiday 2021: Pomegranate Noir, with the same silver finish as the Rose & Magnolia I posted last month, here done up with a red cap. At Selfridges in the UK, £105 for 100 ml.
