It's hard to pick just a few fragrances when there are so many yummy ones to choose from. That's why we are adding KEPT to our roster for must-try scents for spring (in addition to the 10 others we swoon for). KEPT—a heady mix of red roses and black tea with notes of clove, leather and amber—is the fifth fragrance from MCMC's "The Stories Collection," each inspired by events in perfumer Anne McClain's life. While KEPT is a pretty provocative name, the scent doesn't refer to a Sugar Daddy, rather McClain's belief that women should first look to themselves for love. In honor of its debut, MCMC is offering a free sample of KEPT for Refinery29 readers. Simply send an email to KEPT@MCMCFragrances.com, with "R29" in the subject line to receive the romantic scent that may help you heat up Valentine's Day*...or just make you feel like the ultra-fem power woman you are.
$45-$110, available at Love, Adorned, 269 Elizabeth Street (at East Houston Street); 212-431-5683.
