I’m a little obsessed with all things spring right now and of course smells or scents fall in that category. Here are a few I’m swooning over!

PACIFICA French Lilac Spray Perfume ($22/1oz @ pacificaperfume.com) – florals can be fierce and this one sure is! Feel the season with a blend of lilac, magnolia leaves, heliotrope, ylang ylang, hyacinth and nectarine. And you can’t beat this price!

BANANA REPUBLIC Wildbloom Eau de Parfum Natural Spray ($48/1.7oz @ Banana Republic stores nationwide) – Classified as a Floral Fruity Chypre scent for the ever-so-confident reader that we know reads Cybelesays.com, this one combines guava, pear, watery hydrangea, blue orchid on a base of patchouli and sandalwood. A great evening scent and will leave people in your wake wonder just what the sexy scent is.

ATELIER COLOGNE in Orange Sanguine Cologne Absolue ($50/1oz and $145/6.7oz @ neimanmarcus.com) – are you a citrus girl at heart? Then you might want to give this one a whiff. The concentrated formula has top notes of blood orange and bitter orange, middle notes of jasmine, geranium from South Africa on a base of amber woods, tonka beans and sandalwood.

So tomorrow is the big "declare your love" day. So why don't you declare your love for beauty? Here are some suggestions for great Valentine’s Gifts, and yup, we’re feeling things that smell good and/or look good. I don’t know anyone who loves the smell of nail polish so we'll file that one under the looks good category!

I really love the color scheme of BANANA REPUBLiC’s new Cordovan Gift Set ($60 @ bananarepublic.com) and the scents are not bad either! Cordovan is a new addition and it’s all things manly for the men in your life  – wood, leafy green fig, nutmeg and leather. Teach him the art of layering his fragrance with the 2oz tube of Body Wash and 2oz After Shave Gel. Top off with a couple of spritzes of the 3.4oz Eau de Toilette and he's ready for you.
