With top notes of hyacinth, galbanum, bergamot, lily of the valley, and orchid; middle notes of jasmine, African orange, and rose; base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar, amber and musk, this fragrance will make you think of a stroll in a beautiful garden.
MISS DIANE

Diane by Diane von Furstenberg ($85) is the designer and fashion legend’s latest take on fragrance and it’s perfect for the sophisticated woman in your life. It’s a little bit musky but also clean and crisp, so it’ll satisfy many tastes. And a bonus: it’s MUCH less expensive than most of Ms. von Furstenberg’s famous wrap dresses, so you can feel glamorous without breaking the bank.
A FLOWERBOMB

A perfume made specifically for Valentine’s Day? We’re sold. Viktor & Rolf’s newest creation, Valentine’s Petite Flowerbomb, is just that: an explosion of florals, with notes of Sambac jasmine, Centifolia rose, Cattleya orchid, Ballerina freesia, and patchouli. It makes the perfect gift for a girlfriend or wife (guys, are you listening?!) or for a pretty pick-me-up just for yourself.
SAY YES TO YELLOW

Just because your sweetie can’t afford a real yellow diamond to give you (we’ll forgive him), that doesn’t mean you can’t be dripping in them, thanks to Versace Yellow Diamond ($88). The bottle is gorgeous with a huge “diamond†on top, and will look great in your bathroom, but more importantly, the smell is divine. It has notes of pear and orange blossom giving it just a hint of sweetness that will get you notices, but in a subtle way. After all, there’s always next year for that canary ring, isn’t there?
BRING IT ON, SPRING

Well the new fragrance by Chloe, L’eau de Chloe ($65), is perfect for a winter pick-me-up! The delicate and feminine scent celebrates springtime and will make you feel revived, even if it’s still frosty, dreary, and snowy outside.
