The Chez Moi home diffuser from L'Artisan Parfumeur is the result of two years of research and uses original technology to make the most of perfume and create the best olfactory experience possible. The diffuser itself appears sleek and modern, and there are 5 fragrances currently available including 4 drawn from L'Artisan Parfumeur's most popular scents and one created just for the Chez Moi.

The Chez Moi home diffuser runs on two AA batteries and easily travels where ever you may go. And you don't have to wait long either, when using the Chez Moi, as it fills a 50 cubic meter area with fragrance in less than 3 minutes. $250

Usiku Organic Bath & Body Collection

We're not there yet but the holidays are just around the corner, and along with them all the stress of thinking up gift ideas for everybody and finding time to shop. Some bath and body products probably belong on your shopping list regardless, whether as a gift for someone or just a way to help yourself relax amidst the annual holiday stresses, and I'm thinking the Usiku Organic Bath Collection sounds particularly good since they work for men or women and I love all things organic (not to mention the fragrance description sounds heavenly).

The collection from Jo Wood includes body soap, body lotion, body oil, and bath oil, and prices range from $24-$125 each.

Estee Lauder makes some of the most beautiful perfume compacts around. Current designs includes the Great Wall of China, a crystal-covered feather, a tiny turtle and a sparkling sailboat. Perhaps the most extraordinary is the design they have created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Neiman Marcus. The monarch butterfly is made of black enamel, orange and clear crystals and golden highlights. The compact is filled with Beautiful solid perfume and sells for $300.

I love the fragrance floor plan on the Lafco website. It is set up like the floor plan of a home, click on a room and it takes you to the candle for that room. Examples include cilantro orange for the kitchen, chamomile lavender for the master bedroom and fresh-cut gardenia for the living room. The candles each in a glass holder, sell for $48 each.

How much would you pay for a bottle of shampoo? How about $60 a bottle? The Alterna Ten hair care products are infused with expensive ingredients including African cacao extract, caviar, white truffle oil, Champagne grape seed oil, Bulgarian Evening Primrose, and Arabian Frankincense to rebalance and nourish hair. As you might expect, the brand boasts a long list of celebrity fans. Other products from Alterna include the Luxury line which is made with white truffle extract.

Giorgio Armani's Crema Nera

Giorgio Armani's new skin care product Crema Nera was inspired by his summer holidays on the volcanic island of Pantelleria which is located between Sicily and Africa. The mineral rich skin cream was inspired by Pantelleria's formations of obsidian. The glossy black stone, which has been used by many cultures to make arrowheads and knives, also contributes minerals to the soil which makes it more fertile. Crema Nera is enriched with the same minerals found in the obsidian and is said to stimulate cell metabolism to function at peak energy levels for optimal cell regeneration, resulting in plumper and firmer skin.The cream is designed to be suitable for all ages and skin types. The cream sells for $225.

When it seems that the ingredients for pricey skin creams can't get anymore expensive, there is only one thing to do, fancy up the outside. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of La Prairie, they are packaging their Skin Caviar Luxe Cream in special Swarovski-encrusted jars. There are 645 50 ml jars available for an astronomical $2,000 each (the plain version can generally be found for around $345). The jar will be available at cosmetic counters in November.

Brooks Brothers Manicure Set

It seems a bit excessive that one really needs all of these tools featured here by Brooks Brothers for their Manicure Set to maintain good daily hygiene/grooming. But I suppose since I am a bit lazy and prefer to get a manicure and pedicure rather than doing it myself, this seems like too much. But don't get me wrong, I don't walk around with jacked up nails and overgrown eyebrows either. If you would rather a complete manicure set, Brooks Brothers has done the leg work for you. From an ear/nose hair clipper, toe nail clipper, to tweezers and a shoe horn, these stainless steel tools are packed neatly in a leather and suede slim carrying case for easy storage – whether at home or during your travels. I suppose at $268, the price may be more outrageous than all the tools themselves. At that price, send me to a day treatment at the spa!

Catherine Zeta-Jones has gorgeous hair and now we know the reason why. The Daily Mail reveals that she goes to Hari's salon in South Kensington to indulge in a unique treatment. She undergoes a treatment that costs £200 and involves washing her hair with a truffle-based shampoo. Her hair is then smeared with beluga caviar flown in fresh from Iran. The fatty acids in the fish eggs are said to give her hair its famed shine.

Lamborghini, The Perfume

This week on Monday the world's leading fragrance company, Coty Inc., announced that they've agreed to create a new innovative fragrance line for men under the Tonino Lamborghini brand name. Coty plans to play off the brand's "sexy, sleek, and exclusive" appeal to create something "explosive" in men's fragrance. Expect to see the resulting Tonino Lamborghini fragrance in Europe and Asia in the spring of 2008, and in the U.S. and around the world sometime after that.

And if you go for auto-inspired fragrances but can't wait until next year or later to start smelling good there's always scents available from Mustang, Hummer, and even the Daytona 500 to hold you over.

Sexy Beast Dog Perfume

A Karim Rashid bottle, a scent of bergamot and vanilla musk combined with patchouli, mandarin and nutmeg oils. The latest it fragrance? Yes, if you are a dog. That's the blend in the eau de parfum from Sexy Beast. The perfume is just part of a luxury line for dogs. A r ecent NY Daily News article profiles Renée Ryan who used to help launch fragrance brands for companies like Estee Lauder and is the force behind the line of elegant pet beauty products. Ryan also has a motor home that she calls "The Beast" and uses as a mobile dog spa. A 3.4 ounce custom engraved bottle of the perfume sells for $65.

Estee Lauder Goes After Mustang Men

Autoblog shot us an e-mail about this fragrant little story, and frankly, we're surprised this product didn't come around earlier. Estee Lauder's Aramis division has created a fragrance that mustang owners will no doubt want to keep in their glove boxes -- Mustang, the new fragrance for men, set to launch in July.

The Ford Mustang joins the ranks of brands teaming with the fragrance designer for cross-promotion purposes, including Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger and Coach. Their marketing folks no doubt had a meeting as well, because the fragrance is described as "bold, daring and legendary," words Ford's marketing people also associate with the vehicle.

The bold scents are lavender, ginger and lemon, while the daring is pipe tobacco and cedarwood. Legendary, represented by amber, fir balsam and patchouli, finishes off the scent.

The base model of the fragrance, so to speak, will be the cologne and aftershave, both of which will start at $20.

Diddy's Unforgivable Multi Platinum

Posted May 8th 2007 10:03AM by Sandy Maple
Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

When Sean "Diddy"Combs teamed up with Estée Lauder to create the men's cologne Unforgiven, he did it Diddy-style, with suggestive advertising that turned off a lot of retailers. The controversy didn't hurt sales and now he's back with Unforgivable Multi Platinum, a limited edition version of the original.

Comparing his new scent to a fine wine, he says this luxury version is a better grade of "juice". At $65 for 2.5 ounces, it sells for $10 more than the original version.

A blend of bergamot and iris, the scent is a bit more understated than you might expect from the flamboyant rapper. Always the ladies man, Combs is working on Unforgivable Woman, expected in stores this fall
