Liz Claiborne Cosmetics/Elizabeth Arden (ARA) - You want to find a gift this holiday season that matches your loved one's personality. Finding the perfect fragrance or scented gift for your special someone this holiday season means that every time they catch a whiff of that smell, warm thoughts of you will come to mind.

Ideas for Men:

* Your favorite guy can scent out a bakery or coffee shop a mile away. Turn his favorite food smells into the perfect gift. Enroll together in a cooking class, or take a day off from work and make a romantic dinner for two. Or if you aren't into cooking, plan a night out on the town, finding new restaurants full of new tastes, smells and memories.

* Is your man a little tense, or suffers from colds easily? A gift of aromatherapy can do wonders for him. Basil oil helps the body to release tension after a grueling day at work, leaving him relaxed for an enjoyable evening together. Or when the sniffles strike, most guys are miserable. But the combination of eucalyptus oil and mint can help get men back up and striding about with full strength. If your guy balks at aromatherapy, try signing both of you up for a couple's massage, complete with the scented oils.

* Every woman loves the way her man looks heading to work in his suit, and you want the scent of freshness and confidence to accompany his self-assurance. UR for Men in aftershave, deodorant and eau de toilette exudes energy and masculinity, perfect for a day in the office. But when your man is taking you out for a night on the town wearing his leather jacket, Usher for Men's fresh, woody, musk scent is ideal for a night of socializing and romance.

Usher explored the depths of his personality and emotions as he created these lines, exploring the changes in his life and how his personality has mirrored these changes.

"There's always a story behind what I create," Usher says. "These fragrances transcend and bring together my worlds - my art, my music and my passions."

Ideas for Women:

* Your special lady loves candles, but you could go the extra step and make sure any candles you give her are environmentally friendly and fill the room with her favorite scents. Candles made with renewable resources - like beeswax, bayberry wax or even soy - reduce the amount of petroleum released in the air when lit. And they come in scents of all flavors, honoring the seasons and even special moods.

* You want to capture the secure, mysterious and alluring personalities exhibited by the woman whose smile distracts you from your work and laugh is so contagious, you find yourself smiling for unknown reasons. You can do that with Usher for Women and UR for Women. UR for Women is light enough for daytime wear with a blooming fruity floral fragrance that leaves that special woman feeling soft, sensual and playful, and is especially alluring at night. Usher for Women is more mysterious and combines freesia, apple blossom and apricot nectar with amber wood, sensual musk and incense.

* Win favor not only with your special girl, but also her co-workers. Infuse her office with the scent of fresh-cut flowers once a month, signing her up for a monthly delivery from a local florist. If you're really creative, you can also arrange the clippings to follow special holidays or anniversaries.

Make sure your sweetheart thinks of you every day. Find their perfect scent as a holiday gift this year.
