OK, it's not really his birthday, but it is the day the Bard and his timeless words are commemorated. We like timeless here! And whose life can't use a little more romance and poetry?
Tocca (Italian for "touch") has kindly converted its Giulietta perfume ($68) into a convenient solid form ($30) for easy travel in pocket or purse. The light, lively and lovely floral scent combines Bulgarian rose, green apple, lily of the valley, iris pallida, vanilla orchid, lilac, heliotrope and cedar, to commemorate the romance of director Frederico Fellini and his wife Giulietta. But of course Giulietta is the original name of Shakespeare's heroine in the source story from Italian Luigi Da Porto.
