The luxury fashion [bland / brand] Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) will soon sell a perfume for babies. The new [fragrant / fragrance] will be in 50-ml bottles and will have a price [tag / tug] of $45 dollars. D&G is the latest fashion house to make a perfume [for / from] infants. A D&G spokesperson said the new [sent / scent] is, “designed to cuddle and pamper every little boy and girl”.

Gabbana explained how he made the fragrance. He said it smells like, “The [softness / softly] of baby skin, the freshness of baby breath, a mother’s sweet [shrug / hug] , and the first smile.”
