A lemming for anyone still looking for their perfect holiday gourmand, E Sempre Natale by Hilde Soliani: "...captures the essence of Christmastime cookies- warm, buttery biscuits rich in holiday spices- cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg- and sweet with the crystalline crackle of pure sugar. Indulge in a pure dose of childhood nostalgia with this Yuletime-perfect EDP- guaranteed to transport you to a crackling fireplace and the cozy comforts of Christmas no matter what time of year you spray it". $175 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Luckyscent.

Carolina Herrera's Lunar Lover, introduced last year, is back for 2025 — the Year of the Snake. Same scent, same bottle, new charm. "This vibrant scent contains mesmerizing notes of red hibiscus at its heart. Top notes of red tea awaken the fire within, while cedarwood grounds the scent with its warm and woody facets." At Macy's, $185 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum. (And they still have the 2024 Dragon in stock should you need one.)
