It's that time of year again! Some suggestions for holiday fragrance gifts, big and small...

Annick Goutal Les OrientalistesIf Santa is bringing me my heart's desire, this is it: the Annick Goutal Les Orientalistes coffret. Ambre Fétiche, Myrrhe Ardente and Encens Flamboyant, each in 50 ml, in a white leather box. €500. I haven't smelled them yet, but at the moment, that just adds to their charm. No idea where you can buy it, but the elves will figure it out, won't they?

But I'd take this too: Christian Dior Diorissimo in Parfum. $125 for 15 ml, at Saks.
