Trish McEvoy No. 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk Hand and Body Cream
Date night. Hot new potential boyfriend. Corner booth in new French bistro uptown. Lights are low and the candle sets a romantic mood. He leans over to whisper in your ear that he's looking forward to dessert at home but instead compliments you on how... [More]
Lolita Lempicka Couture Black
Fancy yourself a Lempicka girl but need something more grown-up? Slip into Couture Black ($92), touted as the mature, seductive sister of the original Lolita Lempicka. Perhaps you are a loyal Lolita darling and prefer to keep your fragrance routine status quo. Don't be afraid... [More]
By Kilian Limited Edition Joyaux de Nuit Art Deco Bottle
We are total magpies in the sense that we love all things sparkly. Sparkly shoes, old CDs dangling from rear view mirrors, diamond-encrusted anythings (and especially ). This By Killian Limited Edition Joyaux de Nuit Art Deco Bottle ($425) appeals to this sparkle inclination on... [More]
Tracy by Ellen Tracy Perfume
For the girl who likes to smell good without smelling like a royal wedding, we suggest Tracy by Ellen Tracy Perfume ($19 on sale). Spicy and woody, this fragrance is assertive without being overpowering. We call this an Office Appropriate Fragrance. We wear it when... [More]

Viktor and Rolf Valentine's Petite Flowerbomb
Got yourself a lady that loves to be treated on Valentine's Day but despises the usual flower routine? Treat her to Viktor and Rolf Valentine's Petite Flowerbomb ($50), a bouquet of jasmine, rose, freesia and orchids in a bottle. If the smell doesn't entice her... [More]
Cheap Thrill: Pavlova
You'll never find Pavlova at Sephora, much less at Saks Fifth Avenue, but one of the awkward facts of the perfume world is that you don't necessarily get what you pay for. There are some lavishly expensive clunkers out there, and likewise there are some... [More]
Lavanila Healthy Fragrance Deluxe Mini-Rollerball Set
According to this really old article about which scents turn off men most when it comes to a woman's fragrance, vanilla is safely a turn on. So that means you can attract men four different ways with Lavanila Healthy Fragrance Deluxe Mini Rollerball Set ($34).... [More]
Yves Saint Laurant L'Homme Libre
Our man piece may not be a "free man". In fact, he's very unfree and if you approach him thinking otherwise we have no problem setting you straight. But that doesn't mean he can't smell like a delicious bachelor wearing Yves Saint Laurant L'Homme Libre... [More]
Vera Wang Princess Night
We were never terribly big into prom but now that our much younger sister is getting ready for her final big night in high school, it seems infinitely more important. We want to give her something to make it really special since we can't be... [More]
Tocca Graciella
There is no such thing as too many good influences for a generation. Lucky for us, we had Grace Kelly to grow up watching, admiring and aspiring to be. Tocca Graciella ($68) is meant to replicate her essence with scents of apricot, orange and watermelon.... [More]
Sephora Favorites Deluxe Fragrance Sampler for Her
New year, new you, new attitude. So of course you need a new fragrance to keep up with all this newness. Sephora Favorites Deluxe Fragrance Sampler for Her ($50) is the best way to test out ten delicious new scents without committing to a single... [More]
Dior Bois d'Argent
We've been raiding the men's colognes again, ladies, and we've found another captive. There's absolutely nothing specifically masculine about Bois d'Argent, from Dior's Collection Privée, and it represents an unusual take on the chic iris. Typically iris comes off as cool and melancholy, but here... [More]
CB I Hate Perfume Experience Collection
We're absolutely floored by the poetry of the CB I Hate Perfume Experience Collection ($75). The perfume pictured, In the Library, is a warm blend of one of perfumer Christopher Brosius' favorite English novels, Russian and Moroccan leather bindings, worn cloth and a hint of... [More]
DKNY Golden Delicious Golden Night Out Set
Know anyone that that likes to glisten and glow like a golden girl? We sure do and we're pretty sure she'd love to receive the DKNY Golden Delicious Golden Night Out Set ($80). She'll receive a perfume spray to smell sweet, a shimmering body lotion... [More]
Demeter Chrysanthemum
We've been wanting to show you this stuff for months. When two little bottles of Demeter's new Chysanthemum scent showed up in a store down the street, we fell head over heels for the contents instantly, acquired both, and checked the Demeter website so we... [More]

Escada Gift Set
Our first impulse with this one is to go into Muppet advertising agency territory: "It's just like taking an ocean cruise, only there's no boat, and you don't actually go anywhere!" Sure, it's more a summery fragrance than a wintery one, but sometimes you just... [More]
GrigioPerla Eau de Toilette
Surprise your guy by telling him you're getting him something from La Perla. Something for him to wear, from La Perla. GrigioPerla is that pleasurable rarity in men's fragrance - it's neither heavy nor reminiscent of an air freshener. With spicy notes like coriander, basil,... [More]
2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Jimmy Choo Limited Edition Parfum
Show her you really care with the Jimmy Choo Limited Edition Parfum ($150). Care that she smell good, that is. She'll have no trouble drawing you in with tiger orchid dashed with a candied orange dust and toffee notes wafting from her neck. Editor's Note:... [More]
Marc Jacobs Rollerball Trio
Would it be cheating if we ordered the Marc Jacobs Rollerball Trio ($38) and slipped one scent each into gifts for our friends? We'd give each rollerball a sniff and match it with the best recipient possible, but this way we'd get to give them... [More]
Liv Grn Natural Gift Pack
We consider most people natural beauties. Everyone has a special something that makes them uniquely gorgeous. And Liv Grn Natural Gift Pack ($80) enhances that natural beauty while simultaneously enhancing the natural beauty of the earth as well. 10% of every sale goes straight to... [More]
Smell Bent Totem Eclipse
Getting this out of the way first: the logo is just creepy, dude. No way around it. The happy people over at Smell Bent (who don't seem to hate us, even though we've repeatedly commented on the sheer volume of their scents) have gifted us... [More]
Salvatore Ferragamo Attimo L'Eau Florale
We are sans man meat at the moment. And come holiday season, it just gets depressing. No one to take to the office party; no one to pick pumpkins with; no one to buy overpriced hot chocolate with. So in order to prevent High Holiday... [More]
Byredo M/MINK Eau de Parfum
Never mind about the yacht, Santa Baby. And definitely forget about the sable. What we'd really like to see under that tree is the big bottle ($220) of Byredo's M/MINK. It's weird stuff, to be sure; it opens with the smell of ink and gradually... [More]
Kenzo Flowertag Eau de Toilette
If we did as much tagging as this bottle of Kenzo Flowertag Eau de Toilette ($83) compels us to do, we would be in jail faster than the hoodlums putting up graffiti in "that part" of downtown. Inspired by the 5-0's least favorite art form,... [More]
Betsey Johnson Too Too Gift Set
We're putting the Betsey Johnson Too Too Gift Set ($62) on our wish list for the holidays. The travel bag and small perfume/shimmer lotion set will fit easily into our purses for a quick mid-day scent refresher. Not that we'd always need it. The perfume... [More]

Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift
How much would your opinion of us alter if we told you we really, really want a bottle of Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift ($60)? Swift carries over that innocent girlishness she's known for into her perfume. Maybe we're just trying to hold on to our... [More]
Tom of Finland Eau de Parfum
We haven't always been complimentary about perfume house Etat Libre d'Orange - they're most famous for their revolting (and intentionally so) Sécrétions Magnifiques, which really is more a negative attention-getting technique than a wearable fragrance. What with that one and the naughty names they tend... [More]
Happ & Stahns Perfumers Eau de Parfum
Happ & Stahns Perfumers Eau de Parfum ($68). We repeat: the name of this company is Happ & Stahns. Need we say more? Nope.... [More]
John Varvatos USA Fragrance
We were really intrigued by John Varvatos USA Fragrance ($70) until we realized that one of the models on his main page has the exact same haircut we've been rocking for 6 months now. And then we just felt...washed up and somewhat unoriginal, totally writing... [More]
CK Forbidden Euphoria
Where is your secret pleasure place? No, not there. Here, we'll go first: when we get a spare minute in the cubicle, we close our eyes imaging a carnival where the rides all vibrate and the cotton candy is laced with vodka. That's the effect... [More]
