Italian fashion label Dolce & Gabbana is taking the canine perfume world by storm with Fefé, an “olfactory masterpiece” that will leave your pooch smelling like a million bucks.

Priced at an €99 ($108) per 100 ml, Fefé comes in a “sleek green lacquered glass bottle, adorned with a vibrant red metal cap and a precious 24-carat gold-plated paw.” Smell-wise, it features “the cocooning and warm notes of Ylang, the clean and enveloping touch of Musk, and the woody creamy undertones of Sandalwood.”

Inspired by D&G founder Domenico Dolce’s “unconditional love for his loyal dog Fefé,” the perfume is safe pet cosmetics certified, approved by vets, safety tested and “enjoyed by dogs.”

Barcelona resident Wences Palau Fern­andez holds the record for the world’s largest collection of mobile phones, with 3,615 phones! His love for the phones started when he received a grey Nokia 3210 for Christmas in 1999, and in 2008 he started collecting the Nokia phones he previously was unable to afford. He eventually branched out into collecting other brands of phone.

He claims that he wanted to collect “all the phones that Nokia launched on the market, and those that it did not put on sale, the phones which we all know as prototypes,” he told Guinness World Records.

Some unusual phones in his collection are the Yoda, Starfighter, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cyborg and Padawan versions from the Nokia 3220 Star Wars Episode III collection.
