Guerlain’s Millésime editions are always stunning – but this has stolen our hearts, the bee bottle of Cherry Blossom adorned by sakura blooms hand-sewn by Parisian embroidery house Ateliers Vermont, available in just 3,000 numbered pieces worldwide. (Beyond your budget? Watching the little film about it on their site is entirely free.) £630 for 145ml eau de parfum guerlain.com

DO, DO, DO WATCH THE DO SON MOVIE…

Parisian studio Werlen Meyer has created an animated short film, a whimsical and wonderful tale of Vietnamese junks and tuberoses that brings to life Diptyque’s modern classic, Do Son. Special limited edition bottles, perfumed soaps, body treats and an intoxicating Tubéreuse candle only deepen our swoon, meanwhile.
