Bora-Bora c2010

Bora-Bora: Created in either 2010. First noted by Octavian Coifan as seen in Madame Figaro magazine. This perfume was a limited edition created by Thierry Wasser.




The fragrance was a parfum extrait and was inside a 500ml Baccarat crystal flacon. It was accompanied by a black leather coffret holding 23 parfums, 20 - 60ml sizes and 3 - 30ml sizes, each in a crystal flacon, and additional atomizer hardware that could be used for some of the bottles.

Price was listed as 27,000 Euros ($35,720). It was custom made for Le Madame Figaro in favor of the Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Foundation, no doubt for a fundraising event.

I found an old auction record from 2010 from Artcurial. Selling this set
