As summer ends and we begin to transition into Fall so should our fragrances. Put away those tropical, fruity and beach inspired scents and break out the deeper, woodsy, sensuous ones.  There are quite a number of perfumes and colognes that will suit each personality and occasion. Give someone you love a new scent to celebrate the new season!

Guerlain of France is debuting a new fragrance called Idylle this Fall, September 2009.  It’s being billed as “dream of love,” or the “olfactory embodiment of a transient love affair.” Hhm, that’s some fancy wordage that basically says, the scent smells like a crush.

It’s built around a couple of rose notes, “…a blend of …read more

For Guerlain’s Terracotta Loose Powder Kohl, which comes in three colors (Noir, Brun Dore, and the new Lagoon Bleu) is designed to create depth and that classic smokey eye that can be difficult to put in place when smudging pressed powder around. The color pigments are highly concentrated and designed to adhere to your eyelid for long lasting wear.
Each Terracotta Loose Powder Kohl is housed …read more

You would never know there was a recession happening just by looking at the pricetag on Guerlain’s ultra decadent (and ultra expensive!) Orchidee Imperiale creams, serums and incredible $1,500 four week intensive treatment.
The pricetag alone is enough to make even the biggest skeptic stop and read for a second. Sure, you might not be ready to part with a few hundred dollars for skin care…but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn a little more about it.
Guerlain has developed a skin care formula containing extract from Brassocattleya marcella orchids – a flower that happens to be particularly active when it comes …read more

Have you ever had a tube of lipstick open in your purse? Turning a neat and tidy lining into a mess of receipts and lipstick gunk? I’ve had that happen one too many times…you would think that at some point I would learn my lesson, but unfortuately every time it happens I lose a perfectly good lipstick and wreck the inside of a purse.
Well, now Guerlain has the answer – with the beautifully designed Le Rouge G de Guerlain lipstick designed by famed jeweler, Lorenz Baumer. I don’t think I have ever seen a lipstick case this beautiful (and functional) …read more
