Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme

Winner of the 2008 Fifi Fragrance of the Year Award, D&G Light Blue Pour Homme is a refreshing blend of citrus, woods and spice. ($40)

L’eauparKenzo Homme eau Indigo

The newest fragrance from Kenzo, the brand responsible for my most favorite Kenzo Amour, L’eauparKenzo Homme eau Indigo is a sensual scent with notes of ginger, coriander, elemi, vetiver, cedar and tonka bean. ($55)

Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Cologne

I first bought Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Cologne for my husband in  2005. It’s a gorgeous amber scent combined with French lavender and myrrh that can be worn alone or layered with other scents. ($100)

Aramis Classic

This classic woody, leather fragrance was on my dad’s dresser for years. A masculine, everyday scent that appeals to many, Aramis is a timeless gift. ($72)

DKNYMen

DKNYMen is a modern fragrance that just debuted this spring. This is the scent that Janey chose to give her daddy for Father’s Day (sshhh!) after sniffing dozens of men’s cologne at Sephora. The notes include citrus, spices, textured florals and sensuous woods. ($65)

Jo Malone Sweet Lime & Cedar

A quick stop into the Jo Malone shop on rue Saint Honoré in Paris brought us face to face (or nose to bottle) with the new Sweet Lime & Cedar scent.

While certainly zesty, this citrus scent is grounded with notes of spice and nutty woods. The delicate floral notes add a freshness that isn’t overly sweet.

We blended this with Grapefruit Cologne and found ourself the object of our own desire. Yum.

Jo Malone Sweet Lime & Cedar cologne is available online at JoMalone.com.

In the Pink: Jo Malone Red Roses Cologne and Bath Oil

Blended from seven different types of roses from arond the world, Jo Malone Red Roses is a surprisingly clean, voluptuous scent. With a heart of crushed violet leaves and hint of lemon, it unfolds like a bouquet of freshly cut flowers.

Jo Malone will donate $15,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation in connection with Red Roses Cologne and Bath Oil.

Jo Malone French Lime Blossom Body Creme

We fell in love with Jo Malone fragrances the moment we walked into their store at the Wynn Las Vegas three years ago.

Our first purchase was the Honeysuckle & Jasmine cologne (which we still use and love), but it didn’t take long to realize that the French Lime Blossom Body Creme is the ultimate indulgence.

The scent of sweet lime blossoms with a twist of bergamot and tarragon make this light green floral enchantingly delicious. Add the silky richness of the Body Creme and we have ourself a winner.

Jo Malone French Lime Blossom Body Creme is available online at JoMalone.com .
