Fancier than last year's purse sprays: "This collector's edition fragrance Purse Spray features a double chain that allows it to be worn around the wrist or slip it into a bag. The format lends itself to spontaneous application of COCO MADEMOISELLE Eau de Parfum Intense and is ideal for refreshing the notes of the composition on the go." Three x 7 ml, $213 at Bloomingdales.
A lemming for fans of Sisley Eau du Soir: the 2025 limited edition collector bottle. "Sisley’s Eau du Soir eau de parfum captures the aroma of flowers in the gardens of Alcazar in Seville.

Presented in a unique bottle illustrated by British artist and designer Luke Edward Hall, it’s sure to look as elegant on your dressing table as the scent it houses." In 100 ml Eau de Parfum, £236 at Harrods. (You can see last year's model here.)

It’s rare that I even think about buying a new perfume these days — I have enough to last me and then some — but shower gels are another matter entirely. For one thing, even if I don’t end up loving them, and even if I have too many in my shower already, they will get used up before they spoil. Lush is a favorite, and they launch new products at a steady pace, so it’s not unusual for me to want, say, 4 or 5 or 6 of them at once.
