Festive Fragrance Faves

Why you’ll love it: If dark and stormies remind you of summer nights, this perfume oil with its notes of rum, sweet plum, and bright bergamot will be a nostalgic hit. It’s inspired by that classic sailors’ favorite—bay rum—with a sweetly crisp finish that makes the overall effect sparkling, not boozy.

How you’ll use it: Run the perfume oil over your pulse points (wrists, neck, even the back of your knees) for a breezy summer fragrance.

Why you’ll love it: This summery blend of mandarin and coconut is reminiscent of a warm, relaxing day at the beach when by sunset your skin is scented with sunscreen and the salt of the ocean. This perfume in a rollerball easily fits in handbags (even an evening clutch), which makes it the perfect pick-me-up for anytime, anywhere.

How you’ll use it: Roll the perfume oil onto the usual pulse points— your wrists and neck—but also less expected ones, like behind the ears and behind the knees.

Why you’ll love it: This perfume proves vanilla doesn’t have to be...so vanilla. The scent has all the warmth and comfort of a vanilla fragrance, for sure, but with a crisply sweet kick from lemon and blueberry. Orris and sandalwood keep the overall effect grounded, not pastry-like.

How you’ll use it: Mist it onto your pulse points for a cozy, vanilla-tinged hug.
