It’s tea time for your top shelf, thanks to Bulgari’s other posh, au courant cologne: Au Thé Rouge. Inside the striking gold-and-scarlet bottle, sense spicy hints of South African red tea in a radiant aroma attuned to men and women alike. The sun-kissed fragrance emits an air of ultimate indulgence though a undeniably sensuous olfactory experience likening the warm fullness of human pleasure. Pink pepper blends with red tea and walnut for a musky note with hints of masculinity. Woody and luminous, Bulgari’s rouge bottling is sheer bliss. $72 Bulgari and bulgari.com

You, too, will be claiming, “J’adore Dior,” like Charlize

Theron, after one whiff of the polished French fashion house’s über luxe eau de toilette or voile de parfum. J’adore by Dior is a magnificent floral bouquet bottled in ode to Christian Dior’s passion for flowers. A scented tribute to sophisticated feminine glamour, essences of Italian yellow mandarin, Damascus rose and neroli are gathered in a harmonious blend of haute perfumery. Woody with soft vanilla notes, optimum distillation gives the fragrance its signature radiance. $98 Eau de Toilette or $110 Voile de Parfum, Macy’s, Nordstrom and dior.com

The inspiration for this gem of a printemps perfume was sparked by Brazil’s-own precious stone: the miraculous Paraiba Tourmaline, one of the rarest and most radiant jewels on Earth. The luxurious aroma of Bvlgari Omnia Paraiba intertwines fresh oranges and exuberant passion fl ower to capture the extravagance of the sparkling stone itself. The prime concoction of Master-Perfumer Alberto Morillas, top and heart notes plucked from Curaçao, Maracuja and the Brazilian gardenia meld with base, cocoa beans and vetiver, essences for a lavish scent to take any stately lady through springtime. $82, Bvlgari and bulgari.com

Dolce&Gabbana blossomed Dolce Rosa Excelsa to maturity for its February 2016 debut: a romantic addition to the Italian house’s Rose collection. Capturing the allure of budding roses dotting the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, this beautifully packaged fragrance is as enchanting as merely painting that scene. As the latest successor in the marque’s Dolce assemblage, the fl ower-shaped cap, seen on prior bottlings, is ever-present—just colored red to match rose bushes’ hue. Flowers will fade; treat yourself to a bottled bouquet that lasts. $160 at Sephora and sephora.com
