For the Romantic
YSL Paris Premieres Roses - Limited Edition -- floral green

For the Extrovert
Roberto Cavalli -- ambery floral
If she loves a dressed-up night out in heels, this rich floral (with orange blossom and amber) will make her smell as alluring as she feels. Eau de parfum, $65/1.7 oz.; at department stores.
![Prada Infusion d'Iris Absolue perfume](/perfumes/fragrances/prada/prada-infusion-d-iris-absolue/images/prada-infusion-d-iris-absolue-th.gif)
For the Chic Sophisticate
Prada Infusion d'Iris Absolue -- floral oriental
It's strong with the aroma of iris, but you'd never call it flowery. Earthy musk and vanilla take it to a unique, almost spicy, level. Eau de parfum, $117/3.4 oz.; at Neiman Marcus.
