Cire Trudon + Balmain, again, in case you did not cave the first time. "Created for Maison Balmain, the unique Ernesto scent is given a twist with floral notes of black rose. Elegant and mysterious, the floral scent enhances the leathery, Atlas cedarwood notes with a feminine appeal." And yes, the price has gone up, in case it wasn't bad enough already: $180 for the 270g, $880 for the massive 2.8 kg. Ouch.

The latest linen spray from Frédéric Malle: "Following Dans Mon Lit, the first eau de lit for linens, radiating the refined and voluptuous charm of rose, Frédéric Malle brings us Dans Ton Lit, based around the enchanting, clean, sensual fragrance of orange blossom. For this composition Dominique Ropion set out from an enormous quantity of natural raw material, to which he added petigrain, lemon and bergamot, along with a dose of white musk to reinforce the magnetism of the orange blossom. A few sprays on the sheets and pillows, and Dans Ton Lit leads us delicately into the gentlest dreams or caresses…" £85 for 100 ml at Harvey Nichols. (Meanwhile, you can pick up Bruno Jovanovic's Dans Mon Lit at Nordstrom for $135.)
