Our best-loved fragrances, from beachy to sexy.

We've read the mags, sniffed the perfumes, been sprayed at the department stores and given some fragrances a test run--so you don't have to.

	Terra Nova Tuberose This organic perfume captures sunny horizons and swaying palm trees with the seductive flower of tuberose. $14.95
Black Orchid For the sexy woman who likes her perfume a bit masculine, Tom Ford's "Black Orchid" is perfect. $65
	Relaxed Mom Calvin Klein's "Eternity Summer" blends scents of bamboo and airy musk to make you feel like you spent an afternoon at the beach. $52
Fashionista Mom "LOVELY," by stylish mom Sarah Jessica Parker, makes you want to grab an apple martini with your girlfriends. Maybe it's the mixture of lavender, orchid and amber. Delicious and sophisticated. $65
	Beachy Mom "LaVanilla" lets you escape with the smell of vanilla, coconut and Tahitian flower monoi. You'll be instantly transported to a tropical island (in your mind...) $56
Outdoorsy Mom You'll smell like you've been immersed in nature, with this blend of pomegranate and rose. $52
