Scents of a Woman
Tuesday
Chances of a love poem being slipped under my door this Valentine’s Day? Slim. Chances of me pigging out on chocolate and knocking back red wine while watching Serendipity? Huge. But this February 14, I’ll be treating myself to a bottle of L’Occitane Eau des 4 Reines ($40; loccitane.com)—a luxurious, velvety fragrance that surrounds its wearer with the scent of four distinct roses: Grasse (sweet), Turkish (fresh), Bulgarian (fruity), and Moroccan (sensual). If you prefer a slightly lighter scent, try the free-spirited, bubbly Dior Addict 2 ($49; sephora.com), whose bright floral notes are combined with grapefruit and warm sandalwood. Or for an air of mystique, check out Stella McCartney’s Stella Rose Absolute Eau de Parfum Intense ($65; nordstrom.com), a richly feminine blend of amber, rose, and peonies. Whichever you choose, a single spritz will be more fulfilling than receiving two dozen roses from a secret admirer, meaning there’s no need to wait for Romeo this year. —Shauna Billings

    Nice blog. I love Dior Addict and Stella but haven't tried the L'Occitane one yet. It's on my list now.
