The plaids that graced the fall runways were exquisite, but not every girl can afford to splurge on a Marc Jacobs coat or Alexander McQueen dress. Even if you can, it will still be several months before you can wear those sumptuous garments, and who wants to wait that long? The good news: Burberry London for Women ($56; nordstrom.com) allows you to indulge in one of fall's hottest trends in olfactory form--one that's more affordable than its sartorial counterparts and suitable for year-round wear. The brand's newest scent, London marks a distinct departure from the sweeter dessertlike aromas of the Brit series and a return to Burberry's earlier floral fare. Like the soft cloth enveloping the bottle, the bouquet wraps its wearer in a romantic blend of clementine, rose, tiare, peony, and patchouli, while the composition's standout notes include hints of jasmine and honeysuckle set against a warm base of musk and sandalwood. Skillfully blended, long lasting, and versatile, the fragrance is fast becoming a hit with women of all ages, and stay tuned--men will soon be jumping on the bandwagon (Burberry London for Men is slated for release this fall). --Marlen Harrison
