Make sense out of shopping for scents

New York :quot; The choices at a retail fragrance center can be overwhelming, especially if you need to smell them all before making a decision.

Jo Malone, a perfumer with her own namesake line of skin-care products, says preparation is the key to making perfume shopping a pleasurable experience.

Gardenia or vanilla? Malone suggests making a list of scents you already know you like before leaving the house.

She also says it’s best to test new fragrances on clean skin, so don’t put on any other perfume before walking out the door.

L’eggs says indulge in favorite sweets

New York :quot; Many women complain that chocolate goes straight to their thighs and that’s what keeps them from eating their favorite sweet. L’eggs says “indulge!”

The brand is offering L’eggs Care Anti-Cellulite Legwear, which uses micro-capsules of Paraguay tea, grapeseed extract and aloe moisturizers embedded into the hosiery to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. The delivery system releases the ingredients as you move throughout the day.

According to L’eggs, the hosiery maintains its anti-cellulite properties through five washings.
