“I'm not a fan of fruity or flowery scents, but one spritz of this new sexy, musky fragrance lured me right in. It's said to be a combo of Tonka beans, vanilla, and marine notes—but to me it just smells the way you'd want to when headed from your desk to a date. Subtlety seductive. So, can someone please help me add it to my vanity? Hint, hint."
Greg Lauren for Barneys New York Fragrance, $195; barneys.com
