Vera Wang has relaunched the Vera Wang Princess scent with Zoe Kravitz as the new face of the fragrance. The stage is set with Zoe in her “royal bedroom…a modern day princess… in her Vera Wang ball gown…

The Vera Wang people really know females – my daughter is in love with this ad campaign and she’s still working me to get the Princess sample bottle for her own. It has the cutest little crown at the top.  I think it’s safe to say that this appeals to “princesses” of all ages.
I like the fragrance – a Fruity Floral.  It smells …read more

ESCADA recently launched a new fragrance called Desire Me. It’s described as “seductive,” and it sounds like it’s very similar to their Incredible Me, but with additional notes.
Building on the edible base note of Tiramisu in the original Incredible Me fragrance, Desire Me has added emphasis on the rich chocolate, orchid and honeysuckle floral notes to create a scent that is even more mysterious and sensual.
It’s available in an Eau de Toilette Spray, Shower Gel, and Body Lotion. If  you live somewhere other than Canada, France, the UK, or the USA, and you’d like to get a free sample, click …read more

Everything Justin Timberlake touches seems to turn to gold. He’s got a can’t-miss combination of talent, looks, and cool that help to keep him continually in the forefront of the entertainment industry. Now, he’s the face of Givenchy’s new male fragrance Play.
I got a sample of Play today. The bottle is reminiscent of a mp3 player. Cute. The fragrance is fruity, but not too sweet. It has a sandalwood quality to it, but that’s not one of the notes.
It smells clean, without smelling like soap. It’s made for men and I intended to give it to my boyfriend, but I …read more

Certain fragrance notes and note combinations are capable of evoking particular emotions or feelings. For example, a scent with notes of citrus can be uplifting and make you feel more energetic or something with a powdery note might remind you of a loved one. Calvin Klein’s Euphoria has a rich blending of notes that Sephora categorizes as, “…your own little bottle of confidence.” 

Euphoria is available for both men and women. Sephora carries an Eau de Parfum, a Body Cream, a Touch Perfume, and Sensual Skin Lotion for women. The men will find Eau de Toilette Spray and a Deodorant Stick.

I tried a couple of CLEAN fragrances today. Both are for men, but one I am keeping for myself. The philosophy behind the CLEAN fragrances is that the scents are fresh and reminiscent of soap, rather than something fussy.  Simple.

Shower Fresh
Eau de Toilette for Men
This is the one that I am keeping for myself. It’s not girly, just clean and spicy. I love it. I will, however, share it with my boyfriend. The premise here is just out of the shower freshness. I can smell that – you know when your man’s hair is wet and sticking up and he’s …read more

Eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and perfume. What do these names mean? Why is the eau de toilette less expensive when it’s a bigger bottle?
Fragrance comes in 3 basic concentrations. In terms of the strength of a scent and the length of time it will last, you do get what you pay for.

Perfume is the highest concentration of scent – 13-40% concentrate. It comes in a smaller bottle, it’s more expensive, but you use a smaller amount because the scent is strong and long lasting. Apply your perfume sparingly – a little bit goes a long way.
