DNA with Apple on an account with high useage and credibility should work imo.

If you're planning to specifically SE Apple, they can be difficult to deal with when hitting the DNA.

For Instance, they're known to release themselves from liability and ask you to deal directly with the carrier.

but contingency plans must always be in place...

In the event the SE fails, they can still be returned for a legit refund - that's the contingency plan.

have you hit any fragrance shops?

Plenty.
