LOVE, Michael Kors

Michael Kors Perfume by Michael Kors, is one of my all time favorites! Michael Kors for her fragrance embodies the simplicity and modernity and it is exotic and sensual as well.

Creamy florals create its signature, made up of dewy freesia, tuberose, blue orris and white peony. Smoky moroccan incense adds a surprising counterpoint, while cashmere woods, musk and vetiver haiti provide a voluptuous finish.
Very Hollywood
Notes of mandarin, iced bergamot, jasmine, ylang-ylang, raspberry, gardenia, Italian orris, creamy amber, white moss and vetiver tickle the senses from a bottle inspired by the 50s and 60s photography flashbulbs. "There are three things I love in Life most; LOVE, LOVE, and LOVE"

Speaking of Icons, Coco Chanel created perhaps the most famous perfume of all time, Chanel No.5, an incredible scent Ylang-Ylang, Neroli, Aldehydes,Jasmine, Mayrose Sandalwood, Vetiver. What can be said that hasn't been already? A timeless classic that still is a number one seller over 80 years after its launch in 1921. Created by Earnest Beaux, No.5 was the first perfume ever created using so much Aldehydes, which gives the fragrance its sparkle. Legend has is that Beaux presented Chanel with ten fragrances to choose from. (Or so the story goes...) Chanel chose perfume number five, hence the name.
Who knew that such a tiny bottle housed so many secrets?” —Michael Tonello, author of Bringing Home the Birkin
"The unauthorized biography of the world's most famous, seductive, and successful perfume. The Secret of Chanel No. 5 is Tilar J. Mazzeo's search beyond the stuff of legend to uncover the full story of No. 5's creation, iconic status, and extraordinary success. Mazzeo goes back through time and deep into the life of Coco Chanel, the brilliant, controversial, and steel-willed businesswoman at the heart of the fragrance.
31 Rue Cambon, Coco Chanel's flagship boutique, where six decades ago American GIs stormed the counters to possess the magical elixir that captured the luxury and romance of Paris for their girls back home. A blend of evocative history and thoughtful research, here is a glittering account of where art and sensuality mingle with dazzling entrepreneurship and desire: Chanel No.5."

Ciao Valentina!

I used to have a gorgeous Italian flatmate at my model flat in NYC. Her name was Valentina. So Valentino Valentina perfume and Freja Beha Erichsen's beautiful campaign (shot by David Simms) and TV commercial VALENTINA perfume brings me back to those fun days in NYC and Milano.

The fragrance, inspired by Rome and Italian flavors, is developed in collaboration with Puig and perfumers Alberto Morillas and Olivier Cresp.The composition is designed as a fresh floral-fruity-oriental, full of contradictions, simultaneously delicate and strong, elegant, sensual, rebellious and fun. It starts off with bergamot from Calabria and white truffles from Alba. Amalfi orange blossoms, sweet jasmine, tuberose and wild strawberries compose the perfume’s heart, settling on the base of cedar, vanilla and amber.
