From Noble Otter, Tis The Season Aftershave: "The tinsel is hung, garland spirals from bottom to top, and strings of lights are reflecting from multi-colored glass balls. All the while, the joyous scents of a freshly-cut Christmas tree float through the air as you place the lighted star atop your tree. Another holiday season begins as your family completes the long-loved tradition of selecting, cutting, and adorning the most beautiful tree you've ever seen...The fragrance and memories that only a pine tree at Christmas can provide are brought to you in this new and exciting release." Limited edition, $20 for 120 ml at Noble Otter.

The daily lemming
I do like these better than yesterday's extravaganza from Louis Vuitton, but not so much that I'll lose sleep over them: two fragrances for Lalique designed by American artist James Turrell and inspired by the American West. At left, Purple Sage for women (purple sage, mandarin, grapefruit and rhubarb); at right, Range Rider for men (leather, pepper, amber and citrus). 100 of each were made, reportedly €25,000 each.
