Fabulous doesn't begin to describe the newly launched fragrance Amanda-a scented celebration of iconic personality Amanada Lepore, who is known throughout the world as the reigning doyenne of transsexuality.

To many, owning Chanel No. 5 has the same heft as owning a Ming vase. It's precious, it's pure and timeless. Of course the Ming vase can be auctioned off at Sothebys, but we'll venture to guess that no one in their right mind would auction of their Chanel EDT. Remember when Chanel rocked the perfume industry in 2007 with the release of its limited-edition "Les Exclusifs" collection? It was available only in Chanel boutiques and Bergdorf Goodman. The 10-sku range is housed in unusually large, 200ml spray bottles, with a high price point of $200 to match.At the time, industry insiders called it a "surprising" move. It's common knowledge that women won't invest in a 200ml bottle of perfume because they're fickle, and love to flit from fragrance to fragrance. This November, the element of surprise will definitely turn into shock and awe when Chanel introduces a 900ml bottle of Chanel No. 5, retailing for $3,200 at Saks Fifth Avenue. (We've done the math: that's practically a quart.) For No. 5 devotees, it's a unique opportunity to secure a lifetime supply of this object of acute desire. Note that you're getting parfum, not EDT, which makes it a steal at $3,200, considering you'd have to buy 30.4 standard-size flacons at a much higher price to equal this gargantuan offer.
There are smells -- as I'm sure Pig Pen from the Peanuts Comic Strip would agree -- that you are unlikely to forget. Most smells make you want to block your nose completely and wish you had a cold. No amount of spritzing yourself with good ol' fashioned Charlie or even a Glade house scent will keep your immediate air smelling pretty, because when Pig Pen hits you, he hits you hard. You feel as though your nostrils have been assaulted by some sort of olfactory hippopotamus. You feel violated, vulnerable as Alice in Wonderland and depressed at the thought of these beauty sinners who feel that strutting outside the house without even so much as deodorant or a clean shirt is allowable in sweaty weather. So the debut of Estee Lauder's Sensuous was welcomed with particularly grateful open arms this summer.
