"On March 20th (the first day of spring), I immediately swap my musky, fireplace-ish winter fragrances with florals for spring. Groundbreaking, I know. That's because, come the warmer months, I can't think of anything sexier than smelling fresh and clean — mostly because the New York City streets smell like sewage and my fellow subway riders don't smell much better. (OK, not all, but definitely some!) While rose isn't my usual go-to, AERIN Beauty Rose de Grasse Parfum ($225) is special. It's a blend of different rose scents, making it complex and rich yet still young and vibrant. And the bottle is a true work of art. Just looking at it makes me want to throw on a strappy sundress, and I'll take that small joy — especially when I'm still wearing my winter coat." — Dawn Davis, senior editorial director
