Cologne with a conscience

Warren Christopher

You may not have the cash to travel around the world, but at least you can smell like you've done some passport stamping. The scientists behind Estee Lauder's newest fragrance--Beyond Paradise Men--combined such funky ingredients as Brazilian jabuticaba fruit and South African buchu, a plant that natives have been rubbing on their bodies for 400 years. Toss some lavender, thyme, and sage into the mix and you've got one delightful, global scent. Tree-huggers: Don t worry about those rare botanical ingredients. The plants were grown in a biodome, which replicates authentic conditions without endangering the environment. Being eco-friendly has never smelled so good. $40 @ Bloomingdale's nationwide
