Advent calendar (purchasing) season is upon us. Always my first vote: Diptyque. For the 2020 version, you'll get seven 10 ml fragrances, plus one 70g candle, eleven 35g candles and an assortment of other goodies. Due to launch mid October, £320. (I think the 2019 version was $425 in the US?)
Another Chanel Maisons d’art coffret, in case you missed the last one. 50 ml of Beige, in Extrait, in a Baccarat bottle which you can keep safe in the fancy box done up by feather and floral specialists Maison Lemarié. 25 were made, €10,000. (via luxepackaginginsight)
