Dusit's China Expansion Underway with Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts
Thailand-based hospitality group Dusit International and China-based real estate developer Changzhou Qiao Yu Group announce the establishment of Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts, the joint venture hotel management company that will spearhead Dusit International's continued expansion in China. Its major shareholders include Dusit International, Changzhou Qiao Yu Group and noted hospitality veteran Mr Giovanni Angelini, former CEO of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts.
Marked by the opening of the company's Shanghai office on this auspicious date, the event signifies an important milestone in Dusit International's long-term expansion plans.
"Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts will develop the Dusit Thani, dusitD2, Dusit Devarana and Dusit Princess brands throughout China," says Mr Chen Li Bin, Chairman of Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts. "We look forward to a very successful future with this newly formed management company."
The company expects to operate at least 30 properties in China within the next three years, focussing on mid-tier to deluxe projects in Changzhou, Qingdao, Qingyuan, Lingshui, Shenyang, Kunming, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Suzhou and Shaoxing.
"China is a market with abundant opportunities," says Mr Chanin Donavanik, Board Director of Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts and CEO of Dusit International. "I believe a South-East Asian chain can do very well here, offering a different approach to hospitality."
China is now Thailand's largest feeder market with 1.1 million visitors to Thailand in Q1 2013, a 100% increase Y-o-Y. Additionally, Chinese travellers spent a record US$102 billion on international tourism in 2012, a 40% rise from US$73 billion in 2011."China is the world's largest source market for international tourism, as well as one of the biggest travel destinations," adds President of Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts, Mr Lim Boon Kwee. "China is set to become the biggest hotel market--therefore we need to be here."

The lip of the flange is designed to sit on top of the finished floor and be attached through the finished floor into the subflooring. A twist-and-set toilet flange has an expandable gasket that creates the seal to the drain pipe. Depending on the one you have, it may have screw slots to tighten it or may require an allen wrench. There are usually either T-shaped slots that come in from the edges, or keyhole shaped slots that allow you to put the bowl anchor bolts through the large part, then slide it so it is captured by the large head of the bolt in the smaller slot of the keyhole.
A picture of what you have would make it easier to be more specific. Whichever way the toilet anchor bolts go, they should be parallel to the rear wall (so the bolts can fit either side of the toilet base).

Andrea and I recently helped a client choose an illustrator for her cover, and we faced the same issues we face each time we search for the perfect cover for a client's book. So, I thought we would try and answer the question:
What makes a successful cover for YOUR self published book?
It would be great if the answer to this question was as simple as taking a picture of your favorite waterfall, typing the title of your book in any open space, and adding your name as the author towards the bottom in somewhat smaller font...but it's not. Although picture, title and author are key components, their position, size and meaning are vital. You may even need slightly different covers for electronic and physical versions of your book to account for thumbnails vs. competition for attention in bookstores.
Let's consider the key parts.
~ Title/Author. If you have had more than one edit - content and copy - your initial title may well have changed during this process. Therefore, the key elements you want your title and cover to convey may have also changed. You must also consider what style font you wish to use for both title and author, and whether the text will share or compete for attention with an image. I wouldn't suggest assigning your ISBN, designing your cover or blogging/networking about your new book until you have completed edits and are relatively sure of the exact title.
~ The Picture/Background. Your favorite waterfall may have very little, if anything to do with the content of your book. Therefore, if you want a picture on your cover, the first thing you must consider is graphic arts or illustration. Each has a unique look and feel as illustrated below.
I can't wait to share our latest client's book cover with you, as the illustrator is amazing, but first, all the above details must be worked out.
What were the key components you wanted your book cover to show a potential reader? How did you ensure it would entice a possible reader to click or pick up your book? Please share!

The Hyundai Equus promises to be a dark horse in the large luxury class with its competitive performance, extensive equipment roster, world-class quality and extraordinary value pricing. Lexus and Infiniti took a similar approach back in the day, and now it's Hyundai's turn. For about $60,000 when new, the Hyundai Equus offers the space, comfort and amenities of fully optioned high-end sedans costing close to $90,000 or more.
Even if the Equus isn't quite as performance-oriented as more athletic European thoroughbreds, Hyundai is betting most drivers won't notice or care as they happily pocket a price difference equal to the value of a small sport sedan. Not only that, but the Hyundai Equus appears capable of shaking up the segment with its remarkably quiet and limousine-like cabin, top-drawer amenities, long warranty and unique dealer service program.
Current Hyundai Equus
The Hyundai Equus is a large luxury sedan that is based on Hyundai's Genesis platform, but it's been enlarged to provide limousine-like interior room. Under the hood is a 5.0-liter V8 generating 429 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
There are two trim levels, Signature and Ultimate. The base Signature trim includes premium features like a lane departure warning system, adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, a sunroof and keyless ignition/entry. Inside you'll also find a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, heated and ventilated power front seats, heated power-reclining rear seats, premium leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, power window shades, navigation with a multimedia controller, Bluetooth and a 17-speaker Lexicon audio system with iPod interface, satellite radio and six-disc CD changer.
The Hyundai Equus Ultimate seats four, as the rear bench seat is replaced with a pair of reclining bucket seats with heating/cooling/massaging functions and a passenger-side power footrest. A power-closing trunk lid and a forward-view cornering camera are also included with the Ultimate.
Hyundai has done a first-rate job with interior design and quality of materials, easily on par with other Asian flagships. The Equus Ultimate trim is particularly intriguing with its unique four-passenger layout and rear first-class seat offering a limolike upgrade unmatched by other sedans at its price point. Up front, a large LCD screen and straightforward multimedia and climate controls make it relatively easy to manage the extensive technologies incorporated into the Equus, eliminating the busy jumble of buttons, switches and complex operations sometimes found in other loaded luxury vehicles.
While the Equus V8's output looks good on paper and is perfectly capable in most situations, low-rpm launches aren't quite as energetic as you'll find in other V8-powered flagships due to its modest torque rating. Once underway, this Hyundai responds like a slightly more willing Lexus LS 460. An aggressive BMW killer it isn't, but we think there are plenty of luxury cruisers who'll be content to simply enjoy the Hyundai Equus' unflappable ride, spacious and relaxing cabin, myriad creature comforts and the smug awareness of having made a wise and compelling purchase.
Used Hyundai Equus Models
The Hyundai Equus debuted in the 2011 model year. These first-year examples were powered by a 4.6-liter V8 that produced 385 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque. The more powerful 5.0-liter engine was new for 2012.

Reds won't let Johnny Cueto pitch in the 2013 WBC
Feb 20, 2013, 6:39 PM EDT
Reds right-hander Johnny Cueto was hoping to represent his native Dominican Republic in next month's 2013 World Baseball Classic. But it's not going to happen:
Reds exercised right to disallow Cueto's participation in WBC as he finished on DL. Despite his desire to play, he respects their decision.
— Bryce H. Dixon (@brycehdixon) February 20, 2013
That tweet comes from Cueto's agent, Bryce Dixon, of the Primo Sports Group.
Cueto suffered a minor right oblique strain during his NLDS Game 1 start against the Giants. He has been fully recovered from that injury for several weeks, but the Reds want to keep him in camp all spring.

The bomb—carried by 20-year-old Magomed Yevloyev on behalf of the self-proclaimed Caucasus Emirate—exploded at approximately 13:30 GMT on 24 January 2011. It killed 37 people and injured over 150 others in the baggage claim area of the International Arrivals Hall at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport.
Just ten minutes earlier, Brussels Airlines flight 2535 had landed at the airport. The 88 passengers had dutifully filed off the aircraft and into the customs and immigration area. But that was as much as the airline knew. Had their customers made it through customs and immigration and been caught in the blast?
The airline corporate communications department became aware of the incident just seven minutes after the explosion. Rather than finding out from news feeds, it was via a Twitter message from one of its passengers. The team replied immediately but didn't get any further communication. By then, the story was beginning to break, although information from the Russian authorities was minimal.
"It was crucial we found out what had happened to our passengers," explains Geert Sciot, Vice President of Media Relations at Brussels Airlines. "But there was a lack of information and our staff were not allowed to enter the zone where the bomb exploded. The crew were still onboard the aircraft."
Soon enough, they identified a few more Tweets from their passengers. Through these contacts they were able to gather information about other passengers, expanding their investigation person by person.
The airline was relieved to find out that the international passengers hadn't made it through customs and immigration and were all safe. But the whereabouts of Russian passengers—using a different queue—was still unknown. In most cases, the airline didn't have direct contact details as the bookings had been made via travel agencies.
It was obvious that social media was the key, however. The airline used its Facebook and Twitter accounts to find and contact its remaining customers. Ultimately, every single one of the 88 passengers was contacted via social media, including one on the business network site LinkedIn. All were safe and unharmed.
Several lessons emerged from the episode that have helped the airline refine its policy for social media as well as its crisis communications strategy.
"It underlined that social media isn't just about communicating with the world," says Sciot. "It is also about the world communicating with you. We couldn't get any reliable information from the authorities during the first hour or two of the bombing. It was the passengers who told us what was going on and what was needed."
But, says Sciot, this doesn't mean social media is a way to achieve fast-track customer service. The channels should not be about avoiding queues or simply pushing for, and providing, an immediate response. "It is more about creating a community," he says. "That is really the point of what happened to us. Instantly, a valuable community was created that allowed passengers and airline to help each other."
It is not a numbers game either. Many reports on Facebook and Twitter automatically detail a friends or followers figure as if the value of the account is intrinsically linked to that number. "But we could double the amount of followers overnight with a competition," Sciot suggests. "It's very easy to expand your social media network. But we now know it is about creating a quality community and not an opportunistic community."
Even so, social media needs monitoring 24/7. As the Domodedovo incident showed, a vital message can come through at any time. Ensuring the Twitter and Facebook accounts come under the control of corporate communications, rather than viewing the channels only as a marketing function, also seems wise. It allows the airline to set the tone.
Crucially, monitoring and corporate communications guidance also provides the means to keep track of the news element to any story. Journalists now routinely use social media in crisis situations to contact eye witnesses. During the Domodedovo incident, Brussels Airlines' passengers were in direct contact with news feeds, a situation that the airline couldn't ignore.
In his study, Skyful of Lies and Black Swans, BBC presenter Nik Gowing states that there is still a long way to go before most companies become competent in the social media arena. "Few institutions of government and corporate power…readily understand and embrace this new reality, along with its profound implication for policy-making structures and effectiveness," he notes. "Indeed, most actively resist [it] and remain way behind the curve.
"At the most extreme they even dismiss as a 'Skyful of Lies' the prolific real-time output from the new generation of 'information doers' and social media recording the unfolding events in a crisis," he continues.
For Gowing, the challenge is to enter the information space with self-confidence and assertiveness however incomplete the understanding of the situation. Being too hasty or simply wrong is an "inappropriate fear" he says. Inaction, indifference and resistance exact a harsh price.
John Bailey, Managing Director of Icon International, warns against the ability of Twitter to correctly convey a message due to its limited functionality and advises it should be seen as part of a coordinated communication plan. "Twitter is an excellent tool for providing quick flash updates and telling followers where to find more information," he says. "But the 140 character limit does not allow for context or explanation. The airline can use its website, Facebook page or YouTube channel as a primary communication tool in the same way it would distribute press releases or statements to conventional news media."
Both Bailey and Sciot agree on the way forward. A comprehensive social media plan has to be devised and implemented before a crisis strikes. "One size does not fit all, so the strategy must be adapted to the specific circumstances, resources and operating environment of the airline concerned," Bailey suggests. "If there is a shortage of internal resources, an external agency may be used to implement the policy, or to provide support with tasks such as monitoring and analysis of the conversations taking place on the web. But the communication strategy and messaging should come from the airline itself, whether in an emergency or during business as usual."
Social media is providing airlines with much food for thought and there are as many wrong answers as there are right ones. But as the Domodedovo incident proves, in the right hands social media can be used as a force for good and provide a cutting-edge tool to deal with any emergency. Airlines must embrace the new reality.

Board hears report on the state of schools by David Lias Dr. Robert Mayer, superintendent of the Vermillion School District, couldn't stay focused on one topic for very long at Monday's School Board.
He presented the board with a "state of the school" report, a virtual laundry list of all of the things that have been accomplished in the school district in the last year.
Mayer told the board that the Vermillion School District is now wired for the Internet, and in late February, workshops are planned to help inform personnel how to best use the World Wide Web.
"We are using technology modules at the middle school, and we are certainly pleased with how they are working," he added. Mayer said the school staff is keeping current on how to use computer technology through training at in-services.
"One of the problems some schools have had doesn't lie with not getting their technology up to date, but in getting their staff up to date," Mayer said.
Mayer and other school personnel also talked of the success of a reading recovery program aimed at Vermillion's first-graders who were having trouble learning to read.
Assistant Elementary Principal Mark Upward said that after 14 to 18 weeks, approximately 80 percent of the students enrolled in the program were reading at their grade level.
Elementary Principal Bob Bowker also described the benefits the district has received from a character education program that was implemented in the elementary schools last year.
"About two years ago, we were really getting concerned about the social behavior of the students," he said. "Since this program, our behavior at Austin and Jolley (schools) is the best we've seen in 10 years."
Mayer said the district was challenged with a large staff turnover. "But we've hired some excellent people at all levels."

In the Paper, the Chinese government put forward its proposals for cooperation with Africa in various fields in the coming years and declared is commitment to anew, strategic partnership with Africa in the long term, on the basis of five principles of peaceful coexistence (e.g. respect of African countries independent choice of development path, mutual benefit and reciprocity; interaction based on equality; and consultation and cooperation in global affairs). Important events such as the first summit of the China-Africa Forum (which took place in November 2006), aim to further boost Chinas cooperation with Africa.

Originally from Ethiopia, Cheru is a leading expert in African development, with field experience in more than 20 African countries.

Our apologies for the little downtime. The database server went down with our even notifying us. The problem has been resolved now and the service is up and running again.
We are sorry for any caused inconvenience.
We have changed the affiliate payout request rule:
From now one you can request only one payout. If you have already a payout request pending you cannot request another payout as usually but you have to wait until this payout is processed.
Please collect a reasonable amount first and request a payout afterwards.
This rule will help speeding up the payout requests and affiliates to receive their money quicker. Also it will keep a fair queue of payout requests for all users.
Due to the large amount of compromised accounts lately we have improved a little bit the security for our users:
- passwords must contain now and lower case letter, an upper case letter and at least one number
- with change of email you have to enter your password again
- with change of email an email will be sent to the old emailaddress for notification
Our apologies for the trouble woth FTP Server #3.
We had a broken Raid controller and a broken Harddisk.
The Server was replaced now and it works correctly again, the files from the old FTP#3 server are not lost but will be moved to another server.
Uploads on FTP #3 are fully working again.
Our apologies again, in the last days we had almost 10 servers with broken Harddisks...
For everyone who uses zooms upload tool, you should read this:
Today at 12:00 CET we will be down for some time to perform a server & software maintenace.
The Service should be restored by 15:00 CET.
We have added a new FTP Server for your convenience: ftp3.easybytez.com
You can login with your username and password, uploaded files will be available after 15 minutes in your filelocker.
Our apologies for the latest problems especially italian users had accessing us in the last 20 hours.
We had some problems with an incoming attack and on top of that also some hardware problems.
Accessibility should have been restored now.
We have added to every premium user another 2 days of premium for free already, we hope that makes it a little bit up.
We are sorry for the FTP Server downtime, both Servers just filled up and we need to backup them.
We will add bigger servers soon as FTP uploading obviously is preferred by many of you.
edit: both servers are online again now
It seems we have a temp. problem in the resolving of .easyload.to related subdomains and servers.
we will investigate the cause of this issue and try to fix this asap.
edit: this issue has been resolved and everything is working properly now.
We apologize for the latest login problems, we had missconfigured a template and the procedure wasn't working correctly.
This issue has been fixed now.
It has shown in the last days that many users have problems connecting to us as they got blocked by our Firewall.
We have found out that the IDM (Internet Download Manager) is causing problems since it initially hits on all files you add to the queue to check if they are available. This is recognized though by our firewall as an incoming attack since it could be 100 hits for e.g. 100 files and leads to blocking of your IP address.
You should not use IDM for now until we have fixed this issue.
Also try not to open too many connections at the same time to our server. Either for up- or downloading. FTP uploads wont have a problem.
You could use jdownloader with 4 open connections and full download speed, this will bring good results as well and will avoid any blocking of your IP address.
We have changed our FTP Server system and provide currently two FTP Servers for uploading.
You can either connect to:
Server 1: ftp1.easybytez.com
Server 2: ftp2.easybytez.com
with your username and password. In case one Server is offline, the other will be online. In the best case both will be online but never will be both offline.
New premium users have to wait until 1 hour for FTP login to work.
Uploaded files appear after 5-10 minutes in your filelocker.
The FTP Server is only for uploading files, it is not a filemanager to organize your files.
We have deleted some users from the database which obviously are inactive and have not logged into our site for more than a year.
Those users where free users only, not premium.
This might affect the number of your referrals, so if this number has decreased then you are missing only some inactive users, nothing bad.
Due to a software programming error we had a couple of hours downtime for our not logged in users, we apologize for this.
The error has been found and eliminated.
We are happy to announce the new Easybytez Filemanager for Windows and
Mac OS X Systems.
Upload and manage your file easily through the filemanager, without loging into
the Easybytez site every time.
Just download and install the program, go to options and enter your Easybytez
username and password.
We are happy to announce that we have added a FTP upload for our premium users.
Now it is even more easier to upload your files to your filelocker.
Instructions can be found on the main upload page, tab "FTP Upload", or in your "My Account" tab.
Good news for our Affiliates!
We now pay 60% on al sales and re-sales!
That means from every 10 € we earn, 6 € go to our Affiliates!
This counts for every new sale of a premium account but as well on all premium renewals from existant users!
Make now even more money with our Affiliate plan!
We have added two sets of updated Banners for our Affiliates which you can find here:
You should replace the older ones and add those since they are more accurate.
Remeber that we pay 50% of all sales to our Affiiates, this includes re-sales (premium renewals) as well!
Also we have raised the limits for our free users. The filesize download- and upload-limit was raised and also the amount of MB to download per hour was almost doubled.
We are sorry that Moneybookers payouts are delayed.
All payments through Moneybookers will be made the following week, promissed!
Edit: all payments have been sent!

Oklahoma City was plagued with bad luck last night (July 16) as Megadeth's Gigantour 2013 was severely affected by extreme weather issues. Intense rain and lightning forced Device to skip their set, but that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. Shortly before Megadeth were set to take the stage, a bolt of lightning struck an Oklahoma City transformer, cutting power to the Zoo Amphitheatre entirely.

I prefer 1950's
I prefer 1960's
I prefer 1970's
Combination 1960's & 1970's
Got it Leroy and I apologize for not understanding the first time. I do appreciate what you and Matt are doing and I'm sure lots of other people do too. You both have every reason to be proud of your site. There is none to compare with it!
I'm with you too Leroy....your help is always precious..
I thought I had a pretty good eye for detail and was so proud of myself that I could identify every jumpsuit and almost every year they were worn but Leroy you go way beyond that with the mikes, jewelry etc. I'm surprised that you can't tell the year from the tilt of Elvis' head. You are great and your renditions are fantastic.
My thanks to both you and Matt for the best Elvis jumpsuit site there is out there.
Boy my timing has been way off lately! Here I was trying to make you feel better and appreciated and you get this post from a sick individual who's probably a failed artist and is jealous of your work. Don't let that person get you down. Sticks and stones you know........
IMO There's Too much of the I hate (fill in the blank) stuff in here lately. Its turning into the I hate forum instead of the TCB world Elvis forum its all about how many people Elvis had in his life people now hate forum . Bummer because this place has a lot of people with good info and resources to offer each other besides hate.
An horrible message and I can't understand why he feels so much hate.. ...don't worry Leroy...for one of these bad persons you have 100 that appreciate your job!!

Elvis was always the coolest guy when it comes about fashion, since his early days in Memphis when people thinked of him as a weird guy or to much on the black side of the town, stuff that latter became the fashion among teenagers till the early 60?s, british 60's rockers where not only influenced by Elvis music, but they were influences by his looks, the kind of clothes he wear. THen in the 70's he impossed fashion among rockers, one about extreme stage clothes, his attire looked totally unsusual in 1969 and in 1970 when he showed us his first Jumpsuits, by the mid 70's even Mick Jagger copied, "note by note" the style of Elvis early 70's jumpsuits (during The Stones '74 Tous Mick used an hybrid between: "the King of Spades" one and The "I Got Lucky one). In 71' he started using capes, years later, many artist where into that. What about the glasses, the heavy belts, somehow Elvis aways managed to take te various elements of the current fashions, combined them in peculiar way so he looked utlra cool, but yet, not following the fads as everybody, but imposing one. Here are some pics:

Maybe we should talk about Elvis antifashion side too...
50s fancy clothes were awesome. And were very important (the moment) for the young people dressing style. Also, those 70s jumpsuits are unique.
Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.
"You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream...
Mother nature's sure been good to Y-O-U"
Funny ... I started a similar poll some time ago in another forum
I am equally intrigued by Elvis style in all decades ... each has its specific characteristics and appeal ... I have a general tendency towards the 60ies though ...
As fas as Elvis is concerned I distinguish between ...
1. the 50ies - Rocker -Style
2. the slick 60ies
3. the Big-Daddy-Flash-Style of the 70ies
... without a song the day would never end, without a song a man ain't got a friend, without a song the road would never bend ... so I keep singing a song ...
"The Big-Daddy-Flash-Style of the 70ies" I like how it sounds.

I love him in the seventies.
Seventies look was great for everyone
Leory and Matt both provide us with so much info regarding Elvis' wardrobe and its much appreciated guys !
I personally like Elvis' style in clothes best from the 1970's era. He always looked so dang cool...and the jumspuites...
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
I used to think I knew a lot about Elvis...before I came on this site! You guys know your stuff and it is most appreciated! I have learned so much by the topics and info you guys have! Keep up the good work and thanks!
I love the 50's and his 'unique' style he had
Ladies, He's mine
I love this "Big Daddy Flash Style" <-- nice word from the 70s. He had such an amazing and unique stlye, thats so amazing!
His cloth were so cool and imho he was just made for it!
These big belts, the Jackets.. his big sunglasses, the complete style is more than WOW
Elvis Had A Great Sense Of Style,everything He Wore Was Cool.50's,60's & 70's Were All Great,but I Will Be Honest And Say I Loved The Late 60's & 70's Style.elvis-forever.
Yep, I love the '70's. Maybe, it's because that's when I met him..
He looked good in the '68 special though .......

World's most extraordinary perfumes
If you're the kind who looks for exclusivity down to the last detail, you're probably not going to settle for just any airport duty free perfume. We present a list of luxe fragrances, which feature scents known for their distinctive blends and exquisitely crafted flacons -- the fancy French word for a small stoppered bottle, essentially.
Roja Diaghilev Pure Parfum
Both the scent and the bottle are heavily influenced by Russian ballet culture. It's named after Serge Diaghilev, founder of the Ballets Russes. The blend of floral (rose de mai and jasmine), citrus (bergamot, orange and lemon) and earthy (vetiver and oak moss) notes in the perfume are inspired by the scent that Diaghilev sprayed on the curtains before a performance. This limited edition bottle also has a glittering Fabergé Oeuf Duchess Blanc that reflects the grandeur of the Russian royal court.
Lallique Sillage 2012 Flacon Collection Limited Edition Pure Parfum
A rich bouquet of Bulgarian sweet rose, jasmine, clove flower and powder iris serves as the welcoming party to a heavier fruity palate of leaves of blackcurrant, wild blackberries and pears. The unique bottle was crafted to celebrate 20 years of Lalique in perfume. The crystal flacon features a statement stopper, inspired by a tiara with the perfume's floral bouquet carved into its centre.
Clive Christian No1 Imperial Jubilee Concentrated Perfume Spray
With the No1 Imperial Jubile Clive Christian pays homage to sixty years of British sovereign Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Self proclaimed as "the world's most expensive perfume", it is a highly concentrated blend with fruity citrus top, Middle Eastern centre and a rich woody base. A little of this goes a long way.
Guerlain, The Bee With Silver Wings or L'Abeille Pure Parfum
Guerlain's L'Abeille bottle has been envisioned by jewellery designer Lorenz Bäume. A hand blown crystal sculpture forms the bee's body and faceted wings envelop the sides. Not surprisingly, the fragrance formulated by the legendary nose of Thierry Wasser is built around honey. The intense blend stops just short of being too syrupy sweet.
Grossmith Baccarat Pure Parfum
Grossmith have re-launched their original Baccarat bottles from 1919, only this time they're etched with pure gold. The flacons hold perfume extracts, the purest form of a fragrance, of their most popular blends Hasu-no-Hana (the scent of the Japanese lotus lily), Shem-el-Nessim (a soft, powdery, floral scent) and Phul-Nana (based on a herb and flower garden).
Robert Piguet Limited Edition Visa de Robert Liter Parfum
This perfume claims to be "mysterious and oriental" but there's no clear indication of that in its notes. The top note is straightforward white peach with pear and bergamot followed by a floral heart that rest on an unusual base of vanilla, patchouli and leather. The bottle is no less than a jewel; it's swathed from top to bottom in Swarovski crystals.
