A classic: Youth Dew Bath Oil. "In 1953, Estee Lauder introduced Youth-Dew, a scented bath oil that doubled as a perfume, and the world of fragrance was forever changed. Until then, women relied on the men in their lives to give them perfume as a special gift. But Youth-Dew was created for women to buy for themselves...and they did. Even today, its captivating, sexy romance ensures that this true classic remains a favorite. Pour out a few drops as you draw your bath for a relaxing treat, or simply wear it as a fragrance." $45 for 60 ml at Saks.

The daily lemming
From Lalique, the 2020 crystal limited edition of Lalique de Lalique, Orchidée. “It is the pure, round shape often chosen by René Lalique to showcase the floral décors of his perfume bottles that the House has elected for this new offering. Against a transparent crystal background that reveals the tender pink shade of the fragrance, graceful orchid branches bloom. As satiny as living flowers, the petals have gleaming polished reliefs to underline their design. The elegant flacon is crowned with a stopper in the shape of an orchid petal, its exceptionally delicate veins a demonstration of the outstanding skills of Lalique’s master-glassmakers.” 250 ml Parfum, $1800. (You can find a list of past editions here.)
