Help your honey smell extra sweet as you're snuggling cheek to cheek this Valentine's Day with fragrances for him and her. There are many new scents on the market this month, as well as new places to purchase some longtime favorites.
So rather than -- or in addition to? -- the usual candygram, give a gift that will last a bit longer and that you both can enjoy, without the calorie guilt.
Burberry Body Mist: The limited-edition mist is a lighter incarnation of Burberry's staple Body fragrance. It's a delicate combination of peach and freesia, with hints of rose, iris and sandalwood, packaged in a sleek frosted glass bottle. Vanilla, amber, musk and woody cashmeran make up the base.
It's $50 at www.burberry.com and most major department stores.
Bombshell in Love and Simply Gorgeous, Victoria's Secret: The seller of all things sweet and sexy is celebrating Cupid's Day by welcoming two new scents to its family of fragrances. Bombshell in Love is an aromatic tango of fruits and florals, available in an eau de parfum ($49), body mist ($25) and body lotion ($20). Or amp up the flirt factor with Simply Gorgeous, a blend of crimson apple, velvet amber and sun-kissed petals also offered in eau de parfum, body mist and body lotion varieties for the same prices.
Find it at Victoria's Secret stores or www.victoriassecret.com.
SOUL2SOUL by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw: Country music's power couple is singing its love in scent this Valentine's Day with something for men and women. One is romantic and elegant. The other is woodsy and modern. Together, they're the perfect complement, just like the bond of their Grammy Award-winning creators.
Each ranges from $18 to $31.50 at most major merchandisers and drugstores.
Black Jade and Gin Fizz from Lubin Paris: These fragrant beauties aren't new, but they just got a little easier to find in Pittsburgh. Perlora, the South Side home furnishings store, has added to its inventory of accessories and trinkets the perfumes Black Jade, first made in the late 1700s for Queen Marie Antoinette, and Gin Fizz, a citrusy tribute to silver screen starlet Grace Kelly.
