If You're Not Afraid to Bend the Rules from Time to Time...
Because they're really more like guidelines or suggestions than hard and fast commands, right? This mysterious fragrance takes on a life of its own as soon as it hits your skin, with a dark, daring vibe that's basically the olfactory equivalent of entering a smoky speakeasy back when speakeasies were still a thing (as in, a necessary response to Prohibition instead of just a trendy way of tricking you into buying expensive cocktails). It smells like a sexy, sophisticated secret, and it's completely addictive.

If You Need to Decompress in a Big Way
If positive mantras and fake-it-'til-you-make-it optimism just aren't cutting it this time around, it's time to face the facts: You need a vacation. Again. But when your available PTO hours strongly disagree, try shutting your eyes, taking a deep (deeeep) breath and sailing away on a wave of this upbeat fragrance, which is as close as you can get to pure island bliss without leaving your desk. The bright, minty citrus, the sweet, tropical coconut, the woodsy vetiver and sandalwood -- they all come together for a South American vacation in a bottle. For best results, keep your eyes closed for as long as possible.

If You Want to Be the Center of Attention
Hey, there's no shame in the desire to make heads turn. As long as it's for the right reasons, of course -- like the warm, heady blend of creamy floral notes in this modern take on the so-good-you-could-eat-it gourmand, which just can't help but draw attention. Fortunately, there's just enough woodsiness and spice to keep you from smelling like a delicious pastry... not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that.

If You're Still Not Quite Ready to Let Go of Summer...
It's only natural to want to squeeze every last drop out of the season when it feels like there's nothing but leaves on the ground and slush on the sidewalk coming your way. Surf, sand and sun may be off-limits for the time being, but take heart: An open mind, an active imagination and a spritz of this warm, sunny scent will bring you right back to the sensuous, sweltering heat of the midsummer moment.

If Sweater Weather Can't Come Fast Enough for You...
There's nothing quite like that first day of cool weather, which practically begs for a knit blanket and a hot cup of tea (shot of whiskey optional). If autumn had a signature scent, this would be it -- a bold, comforting vanilla-laced fragrance that sinks into the skin rather than just sitting on top of it. It's sultry without being overtly feminine or attention-grabbing, and it's exactly the type of thing you'll want to smell on your scarf the next day.
