If you could fuse the indescribable magic of a sparkling piece of jewelry with a hopelessly luxurious scent, you would likely end up with Waterford’s new Lismore Parfum. Aside from the dashing fragrance itself, Waterford, renowned for their stunning crystal home décor, has crafted a bottle so wonderfully elegant that those childhood dreams of being a Disney princess will likely begin to flood back. Spritzing the last bit of perfume is always a downer, but this collector’s bottle, which doubles as a beautiful crystal bud vase will add an air of regality to your décor way after your scent has run out. Talk about double duty.

Summer’s here, and you know what that means…shaving time! While I’m all for silky smooth gams, there’s nothing I hate more than itchy bothersome shaving bumps. However, with The Art of Shaving After-Shave Body Milk (sounds fancy, doesn’t it!), all your shaving woes can be solved! The Body Milk, scented in Rose Absolute, works to moisturize and rejuvenate skin, after shaving or at any time. Therapeutic Rose Absolute, distilled from the finest, freshly picked rose petals, is a gentle anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Long story short, it helps maintain your skin’s suppleness. Better yet, the distilled rose petals work with Shea and Kokum butters to improve your skin’s elasticity, while added Jojoba and Marula oils nourish and protect it. After shaving, moisturize the lotion into your skin and watch it quickly absorb without leaving behind any oily residue!
“Beauty without virtue is like a rose without scent.”
Available at theartofshaving.com. $36.

Please pay attention to the following question: Have you ever been stressed?
If you answered yes—come on ladies, don’t lie—then how ‘bout a little aromatherapy action to take the edge off? Bath & Body Works has come out with a new line of Instant Aromatherapy Roll-Ons that work to help you de-stress: anywhere, anytime. And with this product, size doesn’t matter. The petite tube applicator packs a big perfume-y punch of Eucalyptus essential oil (to clear the mind and improve concentration) and Spearmint essential oil (to uplift, and ease mental fatigue and stress). Ready to relax? Simply roll the fragrant serum onto the inside of your wrists, rub wrists together to activate, then hold your wrists up to your nose and breathe deeply. Ahh, much better.
Got other aches and pains? Bath & Body Works Instant Aromatherapy also comes in “Headache Relief,” “Energy Boost,” “Sound Sleep,” and “Crave Relief.” These, however, sound like bigger claims, so get the ball rolling (literally!) and let me know how you feel.
Available at bathandbodyworks.com. $10.

Ever dream of becoming a rocker or a chic rocker at that? If the lack of coordination is causing problems with the stringing of the guitar or if the notes you’re singing just aren’t in tune, what about smelling like one instead? Or maybe like a flower, showing your delicate and innocent side? With summer just around the corner, the perfect scent is something light and fresh, a fragrance just right for the hot and (unfortunately for some) humid days to come. Romano Ricci’s Juliette Has a Gun is a wonderful example! And when it comes to the craft of perfumery Ricci knows what he’s talking about. With every fragrance made of roses, the elegant and tasteful “Lady vengeance” is one of the first of two of many to come in Ricci’s collection. With its feminine and confident characteristics, this perfume allows you to dream and to feel like a lady. Priced at $80, it is available at NYC’s Henri Bendel and LA’s Fred Segal, along with locations around the world from Paris to the Middle East. Combining Bulgarian Rose with patchouli and vanilla, this lady is the perfect companion to help spend your day. A gun, she has, but more importantly Juliette has the key to a girl’s heart and to her beauty closet.

Switching to a summer fragrance involves a lot of thought, scent-drenched tester strips and countless visits to perfume counters. But instead of buying the “summer” version of well-established fragrance, why not try a hair perfume instead? Tom Ford’s Black Orchid Luminous Hair Perfume contains the same basic earthy notes of patchouli, vanilla, molten amber, sandalwood, and orchid, of course, as well as spicy floral hints of jasmine, black gardenia, and ylang ylang. With just a spritz or two, this “oriental chypre” will cling to your strands, giving it a musky-yet-sweet aroma that will last throughout the day. Plus, the formula promises to leave hair soft and shiny, so you don’t have to us a lot of other hair products. In signature Tom Ford-style, the retro-looking gold bottle belies a glamorous sex appeal found in most all of Ford’s fashion and beauty endeavors. So hair tossers, beware: you think you’ve picked a simple scent, but you might have actually opened the door to a sizzling summer full of possibilities.
Available at Nordstrom.com, $80

It feels like just yesterday I decided I finally liked Keira Knightley as Kate Moss’s replacement as the face of Chanel fragrance Coco Mademoiselle.
Now comes the news that Emma Watson, the 18-year-old Harry Potter actress just signed a two-year contract worth $6 million with Chanel to promote the scent, beginning in September.
More details will be disclosed next month.
