This candle is my absolute favorite to have around the house. It has a beautiful evergreen scent that’s got to be smelled to appreciated.
Because it’s from the fragrance house of the legendary Annick Goutal, it’s scent is not just evergreen, but a fabulous blend of essential oils that will bring the spirit of the Holidays to your home every time you light it.
Buy one for yourself and for each of your friends or family members.
It’s only around for the Holidays, so act fast.

Bliss Under-Army Antiperspirant Gel…can help.
This mint-scented antiperspirant is the perfect accessory if you sometimes get that (oh, so attractive) nervous perspiration scent. It’s not necessarily the most politically correct gift, but maybe you can wrap it and slip it into the work cubby of that person in the office that takes their weekly shower, whether they need it or not.
$18.00
Available at blissworld.com and at Nordstrom.com
If you don’t like using an antiperspirant, but you still don’t want to smell like a dead skunk by the end of the day, try the
Darphin, HydroRelax Gentle Deodorant Stick
I’ve used this deodorant personally for the past 7-8 years and love it. It has a pleasant scent that doesn’t interfere with any fragrance and it doesn’t bother my overly sensitive skin.

Individual, sets of three or my favorite set of eight, you choose. These fragrant candles in decorative tins are a perfect gift for the constant traveler in your life.
If you’ve never been to a hotel that your room has the leftover scent from dinner the night before or the musty scent of the ocean, you’ve been very lucky. I personally take a travel candle everywhere I go.

The set of eight really is the perfect gift for your traveling friend.
It includes candles in the scents of Tuberosa Agave, Cult of Helios, Pink Fatale, Green Datura, Vanity, Corsica, Malayan Coco and Fleur de Café and each candle burns for 45 hours.
You, or they will love it.

For those of you out there who are fragrance aficionados, here’s a new line of fragrances from a young man with considerable history behind his name.Kilian Hennessy is the grandson of the founder of the LVMH group and has created six sophisticated fragrances that are beautifully complex in their composition. You’ll want to try each of them on your skin, as they smell completely different on the blotters as well as on each individual.
(My personal favorite is Straight to Heaven, which is a woody fragrance.)
Each fragrance comes (only) in a refillable bottle in a beautifully finished chest that must be opened by the turn of a tasseled key. The chest and the bottles are emblazoned by the symbol of Achilles shield, which is to be as an offering to the Gods to bring the wearer protection as well as the gift of seduction.
The fragrance collection is only available at Bergdorf Goodman.
