Fragrance_These days, fragrances are decanted into every portable package imaginable, from playful pendants to whimsical watches. But my favorite go-everywhere accessory is the humble roll-on scent, which offers an instant olfactory fix in a purse-friendly, spillproof package. Estée Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum has been popular since the mid-’90s, and the brand recently unveiled a limited-edition Rollerball Pen version ($29.50; nordstrom.com). At first sniff, I found the scent overpoweringly rich, but after a few minutes, it eased into a soft, refreshing accord that lasted for hours and reminded me of a spring rain shower. Another roll-on formula I adore is Stila Crème Bouquet Eau de Parfum ($12; sephora.com, shown), a warm, flirty blend of vanilla, pink lilac, lily of the valley, woods, and musk that inspired tons of compliments when I wore it. And last but not least is Narciso Rodriguez for Her Purse Perfume ($62; sephora.com), a sensual mix of honey flower, solar musk, orange blossom, osmanthus, amberlyn, vanilla, tactile musk, tactile woods, and vetiver. Like Pleasures, Narciso Rodriguez may seem overwhelming at first, but it quickly subsides—in this case, into a lush, sexy aroma that’s guaranteed to make any girl a man-magnet. —Marissa Kristal
