The pick: Derek Lam 10 Crosby 2am Kiss, $95
The vibe: This is not an evening to keep it casual. You have nonnegotiable plans to split a bottle of champagne, a plate of oysters and an Uber Black Car back to your place. You're wearing a dress with a slit up to there and have a secret tin of breath mints in your clutch. Your cheeks are dusted in a generous highlight. You made these reservations six months ago.
It's all underscored by this rich, tempting fragrance. Addictive notes of salty caramel and crystalized amber guarantee a zero percent chance that the night will end before 2 a.m.

The pick: Moschino Fresh Couture Eau de Toilette, $82
The vibe: You've never gone on an official "date" date with this person before, so you want to keep things cool, a little distant even. A whisper of the old "hard to get" strategy, if you will. That said, you still want to charm the pants (or at least the blazer) off them. But not like you're trying to or anything.
That's where this playful perfume comes in. Ironically packaged like an everyday bottle of household cleaner, the perfume, just like you, doesn't take itself too seriously. But spritz it onto your wrists, and you're suddenly met with a fun, fresh allure. Notes of bergamot, raspberry and white patchouli communicate that while this little tryst may not end in nuptials, you are open to the possibility of making out.

The pick: Diana Vreeland Perfectly Marvelous, $250
The vibe: Dinner, movies, weekend getaways -- you've done it all with this paramour of yours. This time, you're curious to see what happens when you keep it behind closed doors. The evening's agenda includes cooking your signature dish, breaking out your record player and playing footsie (and then some) under a chenille throw.
Your cozy night is underscored by this fiery, jasmine-based fragrance, inspired by elegant fashion legend Diana Vreeland. The icon once said, "If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived!" Featuring heady, erotic components like red sandalwood, musky cashmeran and "voluptuous" jasmine sambac, this fragrance was designed to stimulate just that kind of heat.

The pick: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Blush, $92
The vibe: Get ready to bite your lip and bat your lashes. Maybe you intend to take this suitor home at the end of the night -- maybe you don't -- but you certainly intend to torture them with your coquettish teases in the meantime.
All pink grapefruit, freesia and rose, there is nothing dark or masculine about this perfume. (And we mean nothing -- just take a look at the flowery pink bottle.) The fragrance wears its sparkling girlishness on its sleeve, and invites you to do the same.
