Ah, Paris. Since I can’t go back yet, I’ll have to celebrate fashion designer Sonya Rykiel’s 40th anniversary with a piece of her collection that won’t break the bank… her beautifully exotic fragrance, Belle en Rykiel.

• Top notes: mandarin, red currant, lavender flowers
• Heart notes: heliotrope, coffee blossom, frankincense
• Base notes: patchouli, amber, vanilla, mahogany wood

This oriental fragrance was created to seduce the senses with a frankincense-lavender accord, mouth-watering red currant, and a sweetness of vanilla. Feel tres Parisienne with this fairy tale fragrance from the famed French designer, even if you can’t afford her iconic knit sweaters.

Belle en Rykiel sells for $85 in the 100ml size at Bloomingdale’s and Amazon.com.
