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.
