Hawaii native Carrie Ann Inaba carries the smell of home wherever she goes. “I have a Byredo perfume roller in Gypsy Water that I love,” says the cohost of CBS’ The Talk. “Then I mix it with my Sarah Horowitz Coconut Milk perfume and Pure Fiji Coconut Body butter. I feel like I’m walking in Hawaii.”
Inaba, 51, shares more of her common scents with Us.
Something in the Air
“Everything has to smell delicious. I just bought amber resin — you’re supposed to put it in a heat pack. It diffuses into the air and makes a beautiful smell.”
Best Baubles
“I always have extra earrings in my purse. My favorite brand is Shashi. [They’re perfect for] mixing and matching.”

Throwing Shade
“My Quay aviator sunglasses are always in here. I love that they’re so affordable. If they get smooshed, I can just go get another pair.”
Easy Reader
“My favorite book is 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think [by Brianna Wiest]. It’s wonderful.”
What a Gem
“I always carry a rose quartz crystal. [It’s] all about spreading love. I also carry a black tourmaline because it really grounds you, and it’s [for] protection.”
