Luxury Fragrances and Gifts for Home and Body

Laura Tonatto's Plaisir - is back! This insanely coveted plush and cozy and sexy bottle of juice is back in several must-have treatments: Eau de Parfum, gels, lotions, room fragrance, perfume roll-ons... Join us in our celebration of this stellar Italian line you've heard so much about.

L'Artisan Parfumeur: Posh cult fave from gay Paree continues to dazzle with their uncommonly splendid treatments of virtually every fragrance known to nose---and we're pleased as punch to usher in the holidays by introducing new limited edition gems: Iris Pallida and Fleur d'Oranger 2007. These will (sadly) not be gracing our shelves too very much longer...

Acqua di Parma: Acqua di Parma's new Colonia Intensa is, if you can even fathom the prospect, a headier take on the classic Colonia - now available in balms and gels and colognes that will take your breath away. And as we live and breathe (& smell), we just have to say that we were not prepared for what emanated from that spritzer. Here's the thing - 'tis nothing better suited than Colonia Intensa for, say---a blind date. A party whose guest list includes your honey's ex. Your wedding day. Get the picture? Sure you do.

Les Parfums de Rosine: Somehow our thoughts and our noses turn to roses and roses when we celebrate one of our fave holidays...so we're quite pleased to introduce yet another additions to the collection of breathtakingly brilliant fragrances in this divine line: Twill Rose - at long last - and certainly well worth the wait. This tres chic French line captures the essence of Parisian elegance as well as your grandmother's prized All-American Beauty---in sum, there is in this collection a fragrance for even the hardest-hearted of non-rosarians.


Robert Piguet: For those of you who've been clamoring for this too perfect objet - well. Good things come to those who clamor - in other words, 'tis **back in stock**. Stunning and updated packaging (hence the wait) houses the most divine scent in a pot that won't leak. Even in a stocking flung by the chimney with no care whatsoever.


i Profumi di Firenze: Yet another beguiling and radiant entry, exclusive to us, from one of our fave Italian lines, IPDF's celebration of the carnation & all things exotically Oriental: O-Piu. Read on, if you dare.

People of the Labyrinths: They're baaaaack...take a look at our latest shipment of very fab T-shirts which will be shipped to those savvy souls who purchase a bottle of Luctor et Emergo Perfume from The People of the Labyrinths. A $45 value, these are quite the collector's item in Holland and we, for what it's worth, are stashing one in our secret hidey hole. (very limited supply)

Parfums DelRae: Coolly elegant DelRae Roth has tapped the talents of impossibly gifted Michel Roudnitska and the result is her eponymous line of wildly cool and extravagantly elegant perfumes that never ceases to dazzle and delight.

The Different Company: You simply must take a look at the new "The Long Weekend" (not to be confused with "The Lost Weekend" - trust us, it's easy to do) as well as the 50ml refills for same - which we love all on their lonesome. These quite modern takes on classic fragrances are the quintessence of French chic and cutting-edge high-tech packaging - not surprisingly, this line is being snapped up by the handful by folks who know what's what. As in - this line is the undiluted and undisputed essence of must-have luxury.

Diptyque: We don't know about you, but to us the wondrous wax rendering of woods and smoke and a cozy crackling fire poured into a glass jar and dubbed Feu de Bois is about as perfect a Valentine's Day statement as anything could hope to be. This revered Parisian perfumery has countless holiday homages in its lineup: Consider the display of Red Tubereuse, with Green Figuier Vert and Bronze Opoponax...your mantel will be the envy of all you know.
