I have yet to fall hard for a single Aerin fragrance, and I have yet to smell the latest, Limone di Sicilia, but I'm still tempted by the body cream, because a heavily fragranced lemon cream would be a handy thing, and generally speaking, Estée Lauder heavily scents their body products. (The Bronze Goddess version lasts longer on skin, and has more sillage, than the spray fragrance.) 190 ml of the Limone di Sicilia cream, unfortunately, is $90, which is more than I will spend in any case. But if anyone has tried this, do comment! Maybe I'll get lucky and find it on sale.

You'll especially love the charming details, such as how the cage door opens.This limited edition compact is intricately designed, exquisitely crafted.A wonderful gift, it arrives in an elegant presentation box. Includes a velvety pouch to keep the compact safe." The Beautiful Bird Song Perfume Compact is $325 at Neiman Marcus.

Need some late summer reading? Here's Nez 7: "The seventh edition of Nez examines the numerous, complex connections that link odours and animality. Nez #7 issue addresses such questions as
~ How do animals use their sensitive noses?
~ What is a vegan fragrance?
~ Is the human sense of smell really as ancillary to our other senses as we think it is?" $29 at Indigo Perfumery.
