Years ago, I was a devotee of Marc Jacobs’s original eponymous scentMarc Jacobs, which quickly gave me nose fatigue from the sheer number of people that were also obsessed with it. (Do you remember? It was impossible to walk into an elevator or go out to dinner without being slammed in the face by Marc Jacobs or the similarly intense, gorgeous and overplayedMichael Kors.) Everything old is eventually new again, however, and while shopping at Marc Jacobs with a friend recently, I was recaptivated by the gardenia-infused delight. Bonus: when I asked for samples at the front desk, the salesperson was only too happy to oblige, and I’ve been dabbing myself from the vial for weeks. Many stores offer free samples, so don’t be afraid to ask! (Kiehl’sis especially generous with their mini-portions —run, don’t walk.)
