TOP 5: SIGNATURE SCENT
New year, new scent.
When she's not dabbing on amber oil from Cairo, Vitamin T editor Athena makes her own unique scent by layering orange blossom and honeysuckle jasmine by Britain's Jo Malone. At Holt Renfrew, www.holtrenfrew.com
Editor-in-chief Sarah's mom wore L'Air Du Temps (remember the dove on the bottle?). Perhaps that's why she loves the new cult hit Juliette Has a Gun rose fragrance from Nina Ricci's French grandson. At Holt Renfrew, www.holtrenfrew.com
Technical
director Miho loves the subtle yellow freesia, bergamot and white
pepper notes of Mandarina Duck Ladies, and on a recent trip to Florence
she was sure to stock up on the almost-impossible-to-find fragrance.
