Put 5 drops of the perfume on a felt ball and carry it in its pouch or your pocket. Touch and smell the felt ball whenever you want to feel soothed and uplifted. You can also simply wear the perfume on your skin." Shown is the new Violet Ambrosia, $60.

Intricately designed by luxury jewelry designer and storyteller Monica Rich Kosann. You'll especially love the charming details, such as how Chip, the teacup jiggles." $250 at Estée Lauder.
