March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation

What does love smell like? According to perfumer Sophia Grojsman, it's a combined aroma of ripe berries and roses, with hints of chocolate and incense. Grojsman's delicious scent, 100% Love, was originally designed for an olfactory art installation by sculptor Nobi Shioya and is now sold exclusively at Barney's. It's a gift that spreads the love, both to the one who will smell of it and to the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation, which receives a portion of the proceeds. (barneys.com, $120)
