Not every woman can look like Salma Hayek, but every woman can smell like her. Just in time for the holidays, InsideBayArea.com has released a list of the fragrances favored by television's leading ladies. Not everyone understands the appeal of expensive perfume, and nobody wants to be around someone doused in it. Perfume is an indulgence when you're penny pinching, but I've got to admit that it's one of my own weaknesses.

As you might expect, the perfumes on the list are ridiculously pricey, but at least, no one is wearing Britney's Curious for Women. I personally can't afford any of these scents - even in the 1 oz. bottle - but I can certainly "test" them at Sephora. Here are some list highlights: The Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham wears Fracas by Robert Piguet; Men in Trees' Anne Heche wears Amaze by IsaDora; Ugly Betty's Salma Hayek wears Narciso Rodriguez's For Her; Big Day's Marla Sokoloff wears Trish McEvoy's #9; and Brothers & Sisters' Calista Flockhart wears be by becker.eshaya.

While you can't actually smell them on television, the ladies of Desperate Housewives must have a marketable stench because a new fragrance based on the hit ABC series is coming out this autumn. Coty Inc. is teaming up with Disney and ABC to bring the fragrance to select department stores. The perfume is supposed to "conjure up the smells of the ladies of Wisteria Lane." That sounds okay, I suppose, if not a little bit creepy. I guess it makes more sense than a cologne that smells like the guys from Prison Break.
