We took an scent census around the office and came up with six lovely pairs of perfumes for him and her. Herewith, our staff picks.

Marianne Wisenthal, Montreal editor, English edition
Couples who spray together, stay together. When we’re not stealing spritzs of our man’s woody Grey Vetivert by Tom Ford ($100), he’s dipping into our bottle of Private Blend Italian Cypress (from $210). Both at Holt Renfrew.

Tara Parker Tait, Publisher
Opposites attract with Parisian cult favourite Annick Goutal's Petite  Chérie (finally, she divulges her secret scent!) for her ($110 at the Bay) and the luxe Hermès Poivre Samarcande ($250 at Hermès) for him.

Joy Pecknold, Vancouver editor
For a date night, spritz  Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb ($120 at Holt Renfrew), a bouquet of sweet, fruity florals. If the boy shows up smelling of John Varvatos’ Artisan ($70 at Sephora), this relationship may have serious potentional.

Malwina Gudowska, Calgary editor
French girl meets American boy: YSL’s Parisienne ($65) is a match with the masculine John Varvatos Classic ($78). Both at Sephora.

Tonya Albulet, Western Sales Manager
Lalique's Amethyst ($110), with top notes of blackcurrant and blackberry, comes in a bold purple bottle worthy of your nightstand. If your BF wears Lacoste Pour Homme Grey ($75), it's meant to be. Both at Holt Renfrew.

Elsa Vecchi, Montreal editor, French edition
A spritz for you, a dab for him. A summery scent that is fresh and classic, Vétiver by Guerlain is made for a man, but also smells lovely on a lady. $95 at Holt Renfrew.

We wouldn’t normally advise you to shape your own eyebrows. 

However, between conservative appointments at a brow bar, we like to keep stray hairs in check with a quality pair of pluckers. We’re loving Tweezerman’s slanted new Designer Print Series (from $28) in pretty patterns like hearts, flowers and clouds by Spanish fashion designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada.  Even better?  Tweezerman offers free sharpening and tip repair for just $5.

But in all your excitement, be sure to think Camilla Belle, not Pammy Anderson.

Like Canadian Geese, we’re chasing summer with a trip down south.

Faced with a pasty pallor, we went in search of something to keep us glowing in the grotto. 

Our make-up artist pals are crazy about Lorac’s body-bronzing TANtalizer ($39) used at photo shoots and for red carpet prep to add color, accentuate muscle tone and sparkle in the flashbulbs. We test drove ours under track lights at home and the results were sublime.

Fun in the sun, here we come (with SPF 60, of course).

Is there anything less attractive than a face coated in ghostly white sunscreen?

For a healthier pallor, we’re smothering ourselves with Barely There from Laura Geller. This brand new tinted moisturizer ($30) comes loaded with SPF 20 and just the perfect hint of foundation (in five shades, from fair to deep). Because it’s oil-, fragrance- and talc-free, we never break out, and we love the handy-dandy pump tube. Best of all, it’s water resistant so we can bike from one end of the canal to the other and still look fresh faced.

It’s like our own little ghost-buster.
