From Byredo, a collector edition of Black Saffron. "Introducing a new, highly limited collector’s edition. For the first time, the bottle of Black Saffron is transformed – its iconic white label replaced by a firey marble print. Inspired by the spice that forms the heart of the fragrance, the 100ml Eau de Parfum is presented in a matching marbled box." 990 AED at Sephora in the United Arab Emirates (probably about $270 USD).

I can't seem to forget you? Prince Matchabelli soldiers on: here is the Wind Song dusting powder ("a blend of florals with fruity, green middle notes finishing with hints of musk and amber"), 113g for $15 at Belk. (If you can't remember, or never knew, what it smelled like, Angie reviewed Wind Song Cologne spray back in 2008.)

Smells like summer, or sounds like it anyway: Lumira's Balinese Ylang Ylang candle. "Lush tropical ylang ylang flowers adorn and scent the tresses of Indonesian brides. Their natural aphrodisiac properties have long been used to promote love and relaxation. Balinese Ylang Ylang is a sensual, exotic blend of ylang ylang, bergamot and sandalwood. Silky soft floral notes gently blend with a delicate woody spice to create the perfect air of romance." $80 for 300g (80 hour burn time) at Luckyscent. (There's a matching hand wash, $45 for 200 ml at ConservatoryNYC, and a 10 ml Perfume Oil for $60 available directly from Atelier Lumira.)

Ritual's model in the car fragrance category, the car perfume, is cheaper than some (Acqua di Parma, Jo Malone, Diptyque) and more expensive than others (Joya, DS&Durga, Little Trees). It's basically a wood diffuser that clips into your air vent. My pick of the fragrance options: Orris Mimosa ("Life is a journey, so enjoy the ride with this car perfume based on the beautiful fragrance composition of orris root and mimosa flowers, lifted by distinct leathery accents and gentle woody aspects. The car perfume lasts up to 6-8 weeks and is activated by the air flow from your car's fan"). It's $22 at Macy's.
