If you've never tried perfuming your bath water, you really, really must. A couple of spritzes into hot water makes for a great touch of luxury. We wouldn't necessarily try it with a crystal-encrusted bottle of something or other that ran hundreds of dollars, but fortunately there are tons of great fragrances that won't cost you anything like that much. And you can find something lovely even more affordably through 6/29/09 at Perfumania, when you can use code EREJUN to take 20% off your order! Start that tub running! (Well, we guess not quite yet. No form of shipping in the world is that fast.)

No matter how obsessive you are when it comes to investigating new fragrances, we're willing to bet that you've got a faithful standby somewhere on the shelf too. And you wouldn't want to run out. So why don't you go have a look at Perfumania? Through 6/22/09, select scents are buy one, get one 50% off, and if one of your favorites is on the list now is the perfect time to stock up. And if none of your regular rotation is listed there, you can always just buy things that look interesting and that you've never tried before. We'll take them if you don't want them.
We just tried a new scent bought more or less on a whim (not the one pictured at left, which is Burberry's well-reviewed The Beat) and we're sort of happily perplexed by it. It was advertised as "green", and they weren't kidding. We sniff our wrists and sense . . . salad. Salad with water lilies, sure, but . . . salad. Yet we like it.
Normally, we wouldn't buy fragrance without trying it first, but we can make the occasional exception if it's a really good deal and hard to find. Why not take a few minutes to see what fantastic deals are available at Perfumania? Through 12/31/09, code AFGTEN will take 10% off your order!
Do you ever read perfume reviews? They can be fascinating whether you have a well-trained nose or not. We've noticed, though, that while positive reviews usually focus on (what else?) how good a fragrance actually smells, the negative reviews frequently get sort of . . . creedlike. It's not enough to say that the scent didn't appeal. Instead, Parfum du Jour will get panned for things like reminding people of the eighties, or encouraging people to behave immaturely, or smelling/not smelling like something else, or being sold in the wrong store. And yes, we have seen the perfume equivalent of the old restaurant joke: I hate it AND it doesn't last long enough.
We don't get it. In our book, scent is what matters - it's why the stuff exists - and, since people DO react to different fragrances differently, the only thing you can really do wrong is wear too much.
Do you have a favorite uncool perfume? Wear it more often! Since this is the Bargainist, code AFG175 will take $10 off orders of $75 or more at Perfumania. And try reading Chandler Burr's thoughtful and intriguing reviews for the New York Times here.
