Leave it to Neiman Marcus to bring us luxury laundry detergent.  (I’m still hoping for them to re-issue the trash bags -

Luxury laundry detergent at Neiman Marcus.

they were such a novelty and a dozen friends bought them for me for Christmas as whimsical gifts!)

Custom perfume artiste Francis Kurkdjian is launching his collection at Neiman’s and he is offering quite a bit more than just bottles of elegantly crafted perfume.

His line includes:  paper strip incense, candles, laundry detergents and even scented bubbles. These aren’t bubbles for tots – they they are child-safe — and they come in small bottles which sell for $20 each and are available in the scents of cut herbs, pear and fresh mint.

But to the piece de resistance:  the laundry detergent in his Aqua Universalis scent. The detergent has notes of bergamot, lemon, lily of the valley and musky wood and sells for $45.
