Chanel changed that with this slim, travel-friendly version of their fruity, floral fragrance. Just twist to reveal the telescopic, push-button pump, spritz and twist back to seal. Included with purchase are...More |

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Parfum$95.00Warning: Application of this rose-colored potion may result in deep, passionate urges to seduce others. The most flirtatious fragrance in Chanel's classic lineup, this citrus-y, floral scent makes me feel like Brigitte Bardot. Just one spritz comes on strong like a freshly sliced orange, but fades into subtle notes of jasmi...More |

Chanel Les Exclusifs$175.00Les Exclusifs is right. You can't find this imaginative collection of fragrances anywhere -- except select Chanel boutiques and Bergdorf Goodman. But all 10 scents (which are named for details of Coco Chanel's life) are well worth the hunt. For $175, you get a large bottle that could last years. The eau de cologne leaves a ...More |

L L.A.M.B. Fragrance By Gwen Stefani$55.00Gwen Stefani's first L.A.M.B. fragrance looks and smells like "F.U.N.," a close cousin to its meaning ("love"). Fruity, fresh and floral with a strong dose of pear, it's perfect for a fun, youthful personality who loves attention. But it can smell too soapy on someone whose skin doesn't bring out the musk undertones. The fr...More |

Estee Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum Spray$27.50Estee Lauder Pleasures, a sophisticated scent, makes me think of a summer garden party (or at least what I imagine a summer garden party would smell like). White lily dominates floral top notes including peony, followed by a base of sandalwood and patchouli that become obvious as the perfume dries down. Though it smells as ...More |

Stila Mandarin Mist Eau de Parfum$36.00Stila classifies this as an eau de parfum, but it performs more like a body splash. The scent is very light and fades to a faint fruity floral once it dries down. Notes of mimosa and yuzu fruit create a realistic mandarin orange scent. It's a girly fragrance that's perfect for a summer day. I'd recommend it for teens just s...More |

Caswell-Massey Gifts of the Sea Sea Spray Body Mist$13.50Ocean-lovers might like this airy spray's seaside scent, but it's hard to see the appeal for any other audience. The delicate fragrance doesn't overpower and layers nicely with water-scented lotions (Dancing Waters from Bath and Body Works is a great match). But because it contains alcohol, it doesn't moisturize and can eve...More |
