Money to burn, anyone?

I've been looking for examples of super-luxury packaging and came across this bottle of Guerlain's exclusive "Artist Edition" of "Idylle".


It's certainly eye-catching, if not a little odd-looking. It was created by Ora Ito, and is a solid 18-carat gold perfume bottle enveloped in a clear Baccarat crystal ball.

"How do you open it and where can I get one?", I hear you cry.

You'll need to buy two: one for decoration and one as a perfume. You have to smash the crystal to get the bottle out.

That's ok if you've got a bit of extra cash knocking around and lots of staff around to help clear up the shards of glass and tend the injuries incurred while trying to get at the bottle.

Each one is on special order and costs a mere $45,000.

If that's a little rich for you, then relax with a nice glass of Champagne. Perrier-Jouet recently launched this stunning Limited Edition (only 100 units) to celebrate their bi-centenary. It could be yours for a 10,000 euros if they haven't already sold out.
