"What's in this box? It's the brand I love the most in the world!" A colleague exclaimed as he entered the office. It was a stunning round yellow box that I didn't have the heart to throw away, but I still didn't understand what to put in it (is there a syndrome for box hoarding tendencies?)

I replied, "Really? I didn't even know the brand."

"Well, you didn't have an Italian husband; you don't have it in the country," he retorted with typical condescension, adding a dismissive wave of his hand. It's true I've never had an Italian husband, or any husband for that matter.

"Oh, so you should know it's available in the country now, but I already gave it to someone else, sorry..." I shrugged and turned away. "But next time, I'll tell you straight away." Good luck, soul, wait for this year's holiday scent article.

Meanwhile, here's a huge list of new perfumes that have just come out, new brands in the country, and special editions of your favorite perfumes. I explored and checked which ones are sweet, which are fresh, and which are rich and mysterious. Which is the partner I want, if someone asks.
