 Design and perfume lovers can take note; Issey Miyake has introduced a Christmas 2008 limited-edition of the iconic fragrance from the 1990s, L'Eau D'Issey, as part of a special homage paid to his friend, designer Shiro Kuramata who passed away in 1991. Kuramata is the author of the sculpture-bottle meant to symbolize "... the union of two opposite forms: the sphere and the cube." It reportedly took them years of technical research just to be able to finalize the prototype model. Turquoise was the favorite color of Kuramata. The flacon has been issued in 2500 numbered copies. Each flacon contains 20 ml of pure extrait of L'Eau d'Issey, a scent originally created by perfumer Jacques Cavallier in 1991...

 Givenchy has released a new pure parfum version, the highest concentration available, of Ange ou Démon launched last year. The base has reportedly been enhanced with more patchouli while the composition has been made more intense. It is available at Nordstrom, 0.5 oz for $150.
Neiman Marcus is proposing an exclusive deluxe Holidays selection of the traditional Estee Lauder solid perfume compacts. Our pick incontestably is The Great Wall of China housing the perfume Intuition. But they also offer a bird cage, a fluttering feather, a gramophone, a turtle, a butterfly, a sailboat, and a tennis racket. This collection is distinct from and more expensive than the perfume compacts sold on the Estee Lauder site. Have you seen the fabulous Fendi fashion show hosted by Karl Lagerfeld on the Great Wall of China at night? Here is one picture, Image courtesy of Getty Images/Coutorture
