HEAVEN SCENT: Add Niven Morgan candles, soaps and lotions to your list of no-fail gifts. Now available online from Neiman Marcus, the collection includes the Doors and Destinations candle series ($30 each) featuring scents inspired by Paris, San Miguel, Marrakesh and other romantic locales. Culinary hand soaps and lotions ($19 each) are equally luxurious, perfumed with delicious combinations like White Grapefruit and Lime. Hint: A cabinet full of these go-to goodies will be a godsend throughout the holiday season!

HEARTS AND FLOWERS: The Body Shop’s brand-new Love Etc. fragrance features notes of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood. Available in eau de parfum, body wash and lotion, the entire line is affordably priced from $14-$29.50 (with free shipping right now on all purchases). Merry Cranberry scented products are also back for the holidays, including soap, body butter, lip balm and more. All products are available online or at The Body Shop nearest you.

FRENCH ACCENT: Smooth and soften with Hand & Body Mousse and Shea Butter Hand Cream by L’Occitane in four new limited-edition scents. Inspired by African flowers, the luscious fragrance collection includes Rosebud, Ylang Ylang, Acacia and Frangipani. Find ‘em online or in-store, and don’t miss the Moments in Africa soap set ($8) while you’re shopping. 100 percent of the proceeds from this trio of Lemongrass, Eucalyptus and Orange-scented bars are donated to ORBIS, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting preventable blindness around the world.
