We're not sure how much fun we can ethically have with this photo, because Leighton Meester did not voluntarily put on that dress.

Well, yes, she did don that self-pollinating garment without Vera Wang having to threaten her with a Taser (much), but you take our point. The Gossip Girl star likely did not choose this floor-length bustier dress, but rather left that decision to the people paying her to sell their new perfume.

Add it all up, and you get a brand-new scent campaign starring the 26-year-old stunner...and a very botanical look.

Does this bustier-slash-garden-party make you want to buy Lovestruck Floral Rush? Or is it maybe making you sneeze a little bit? In a way, the answer doesn't matter. We're told that the dress is likely one-of-a-kind, created just for the ad shoot. So, while we might run into said dress in a museum, it's not likely we'll ever have to face it down in a boutique.

Meantime, know this—the perfume itself features notes of "champagne accord, apricot blossom and pink passion flower."

Excuse us for a second. We need another Kleenex.
