In my mind, the holidays and Thierry Mugler Angel are inextricably linked – something about the weather, the festivity and the crisp sweetness of the scent make it the perfect choice for December.

This glamorous container holds 2.6 oz. of powder beautifully scented with Angel’s trademark gourmand scent. I love the idea of perfumed powders, as they make it easy to scent whatever I want. I’m planning on sprinkling a little bit of Angel’s magic ALL over my house this year!

Angel Perfuming Body Powder Jar is available from Neiman Marcus for $70.

I have yet to try this new fragrance by Issey Miyake called A Scent, but I’m a sucker for anything jasmine.

This woodsy floral scent has notes of jasmine, hyacinth and verbena to create “an air as luminous and green as nature herself.” And with a name as simple as “A Scent” this has to be good, right?

A Scent by Issey Miyake Eau de Toilette spray is available online at Nordstrom for $65-89.
