Why risk splashing on another poisonous fume when you can wear Antidote from Viktor & Rolf? Besides, cologne just smells better when it's green and has black wax oozing down the bottle.
Lowdown: Made for men (but really, that means anyone); the notes are mostly woody; the bottle is designed by Fabien Baron; Rufus Wainwright is the voice of the fragrance, which launched backstage after his second Carnegie Hall show; V&R call it a "magic potion that transforms negative into positive."
Price: $90 for 4.2 oz
At: Saks (in October—we just had to show you the bottle now)

If it's true that once you go black, you never go back, the convenience of this seductively dark diletto means you won't be going back a lot. Let the posh lingerie and erotica label Kiki de Montparnasse show you the way.
Lowdown: For her pleasure (but really, that means anyone); made of hand-sculpted obsidian, which our dictionary tells us is natural glass formed from lava; diletto, meanwhile, is Italian for dildo.
Price: $1750
At: the new SoHo boutique, 79 Greene St., 212-965-8150; the online shop (Kikidm.com)

No one does extremes like Bernhard Willhelm, who rides the 80's wave with these surfwear-inspired men's high-top sneakers, which he calls "sexy and fresh." To us, it's more Ocean Pacific on ecstasy.
Lowdown: Features white leather, gray suede, mirrored and iridescent plastic; closes with diagonal velcro straps.
Price: $295
At: Seven New York, 110 Mercer Street, 212-654-0156

How better to protect your bags from fatigue-addled fellow travelers than to have "This Is Not Your Bag" emblazoned on the side? We should all be as blunt as Jeremy Scott.
Lowdown: Made of cloth; the other side says "Fragile"; one of three wood crate-inspired bags for Longchamp; follows in the jet stream of artist Tracy Emin's collaboration with the French luxury leather company last year.
Price: $260 (laptop), $675 (medium duffle), $950 (large duffle)
At: Longchamp's new New York flagship, 132 Spring Street, 212-343-7444

If Rad Hourani were writing this blurb, it would be over already. That's because, for the soon-to-explode French-Canadian designer, it's all about extreme minimalism. Thus, the concept behind this one-size-fits-all, unisex, sleeveless T-shirt—printed with the dates and times of a calendar—is that it can be worn by anyone, anytime.

You might think, given his collaboration with leather-goods house Schott, that Jeremy Scott is going butch. After all, Schott created the biker jackets worn by Marlon Brando and James Dean. But no, that manly legacy is given a swishy twist, like this rococo tea print of treasure trolls in pastoral repose. Also this month: Marni, Stella McCartney, Tom Binns and more.
