Scented German Calendars {Fragrant Shopping}

Apparently, the Germans love their calendars to be more than visually appealing, they also appreciate a little scratch-and-sniff action.

You can find a series of such scented calendars called Duftkalendar on the Germany site of Amazon, Amazon.de. They either revolve around a theme, Spices and Herbs or Fruits or are more generalist. Each page offers a picture of the ingredient or bouquet of the month as well as a rubbing spot for you to release the aromatic molecules...

Piper Heidsieck & Christian Louboutin Le Rituel Champagne {Fragrant Shopping}

My jaw dropped when I saw this beauty. It is not out yet but will be from October 26, 2009 at Colette, even sooner in the US where the launch takes place on October 19.

Snaps out of contemplation to let you know that this special edition is called Piper Heidsieck & Christian Louboutin Le Rituel Champagne in reference to the romantic habit of drinking champagne from a woman's slipper, the gentlemanly thing to do, reportedly in the 1880s. Piper Heidsieck was established in the city of Reims in France in 1785.

After Viktor & Rolf Rosé Sauvage, Christian Louboutin, a living myth of a shoemaker that has made good use of a fashion twist already in use at the court of Louis XIV, has partnered with champagne maker Piper Heidsieck to offer the glass and crystal fantasy of a Louboutin shoe ready to be brought to your, grateful, lips.

Lulabie Aromatherapy Teddy Bear is Good for Babies & Parents {Fragrant Shopping} {Fragrance News}

Lulabie have launched a line of scented teddy bears that have been studied to release the aromatherapeuthic benefits needed to help babies, toddlers and consequently parents go to sleep. Being sympathetic to one of the hardest experiences of early parenthood, sleep deprivation (yes, nobody told us about that ordeal in advance -- now you know, if you didn't already know) is certainly going to garner them some good will.

Lulabie is a brand owned by The Scent a Brand group, a company that specializes in scenting all sorts of surfaces and objects from key chains and trays to toothbrush holders, jewelry and shoehorns, with the promise that it will last up to a year. The teddy bears are scented with a Sleep-Well blend of "...lavender oil, orange, thyme and cardamom, a blend that aims to release fatigue, calm and relax the child,"...

The Must-Have USB Card Reader for Perfumistas {Fragrant Shopping}

If you are a perfume lover and a bit of a fetishist, you can now show your true colors with the set of USB Card Readers that were designed in the shape of perfume bottles. Nothing too fancy yet, they look more like no non-sense colognes but they are meant to sit on your desk as a permanent reminder of your addiction or devotion to the cause, as you may prefer to state it. They will make your desk look more like a dresser and up the homey quotient at work. Plus they are great conversation pieces and can even help you manage relationships with colleagues who wear too much perfume (yes, there is such a thing)...

Outfit Yourselves with Perfume Necklaces! {Fragrant Shopping}

I have to admit that I have a closet perfume-fetish that I paradoxically, do not often indulge in, but that I know is there. A perfume bottle on a great advert, perfume-printed scarves, perfume jewelry usually catch my attention and my already half-won admiring gaze. But I also know that to really indulge in this pleasure one needs to be selective otherwise, it all gets diluted, repetitive and might even become an alarming alternate version to the more commonly occurring crazy cat-lady syndrome, Saint Marie-Madeleine patron-saint of perfumes forbid!...

Perfume Roll-On & Pen Combo {Bargain Fragrant Shopping} {Shopping Tip}

Oooh, I happened on these pens that do double-duty as perfume roll-ons. Don't you love it when people recognize the need to put perfume everywhere and consider fragrance a first-necessity item?

It might be a great solution for those perfumes that you worship but that tend to be fleeting on your skin.

I'll test them when I receive them hoping the scent does not escape the confines of the perfume tank or get transformed into an involuntary home-fragrance device...
