The Great She Wolf
Feast your eyes upon one of the (less than) 30 limited edition engraved bottles of Serge Lutens's Louve perfume bottle. The familiar aesthetic will warm the cockles of every sincere collector's heart. The Iron Cross will create discussion…
"The she-wolf returns to her den, leaving nothing but her footprints in the snow.
Shining like a seven-pointed cardinal star.
Engraved with the cardinal coat of arms in enamel."
Numbered from 1 to 30, dated and monogrammed edition.
An exclusive bottle, hand engraved.
A few bottles (3 at the time of writing) are available through the online boutique for 800 € each.

Asymetrique by Hermes: The Perfume Bottle That Was Not
Asymétrique by Hermes.
Material: Glass bottle and cap. Aluminum spray nozzle.
Finishes: Clear Glass with black etched logo. Polished Aluminum spray nozzle.
Special Features: Asymmetrical fluid cavity.
This genuine marvel of design and technical ingenuity wasn't opted for use for commercial perfume bottles by Hermes, but the Harris Design team (headed by Phillip Harris) stationed in California, US (www.designbyharris.com), who designed it, deemed it too beautiful to let languish hidden. And I agree 100%!
Wouldn't you just love to hold this in your hand or see it atop your vanity table? Absolute class.
