Enough to make me care about Valentine's Day: the Frédéric Malle Roses Coffret, with 7 ml bottles of Lipstick Rose, Portrait of a Lady, Promise, Rose & Cuir and Une Rose ($175 at Bloomingdales). And why not throw in one of the newly (and betterly) repackaged perfume guns in Rosa Rugosa (€140 for 450 ml at Frédéric Malle in the EU)?

Pierre Guillaume's pillow spray, Hesperidream, debuted this summer — has anyone tried it? "...a fragrance designed to perfume the bed, sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers, inspired by the principles of aromachology. The aromachology is the science of the phenomena related to the odors, more particularly the influence of the smells on the behavior. Hesperidream is made from tangerine, orange blossom, sage extract, California yellow poppy blossom and vetiver, chosen for their soothing, hypnotic and refreshing smells." 100 ml for €45.

We are having a banner year for tomatoes in my little corner of the world. This is what I need for late September, when caprese season ends: Lycopersicon Esculentum / Tomato room spray from Carrière Frères. "A botanical cloud rises in the sillage of the Carrière Frères’ room spray. Its faceted silhouette is an homage to ancient apothecary jars highlighting the herbalist inspiration behind the brand. Made out of recycled and recyclable glass, it comes in the shape of an apothecary flask and is recognizable to its bluish tint. Capped with an oak top and silver pump, the room spray is filled with a 100% natural alcohol-base." $65 for 200 ml at Aedes.
