that's an expensive bottle of perfume!

an engraved guerlain bottle from 1870 fetched the record sum of €45,600 at an auction in the city of arcachon, in the southwest of france. the flacon is engraved with house's original address, rue de la paix.

guerlain idylle

guerlain commissioned french designer ora ito to create this amazing bottle for their perfume idylle. the tear shaped flacon is plated in gold with an 18 carat gold stopper. it is encased in baccarat crystal resembling a bubble or halo....to get to this $45,160 perfume you will need to break the crystal ball! definitely decadent.

(the aroma was created by perfumer thierry wasser and is composed around 2 notes: bulgarian roses & the plessis robinson rose. these have been combined with patchouli, white musk, lily of the valley, lilac, peony, freesia & jasmine)
