Chloé Fleur de Parfum

When it comes to the perfect Spring scent, Chloe Fleur de Parfum is it! I picked it as my one-of-two beautiful scents for the Spring of ’16 (the other being D&G Light Blue Love in Capri). I mentioned both of these on my Spring Quick Picks video, and today I want to tell you more about this happy, gorgeous scent that will have you feeling all kinds of love!

ARMANI Eau Pour Homme – Fragrance Review

ARMANI Eau Pour Homme – Fragrance Review

Since we’re having an all guys kinda week (with Father’s day around the corner), I thought it would be a perfect time to throw in a fragrance review for the guys! Since I love a guy that smells good – and I’m sure most of you ladies would agree – learning about new and exciting fragrances for men can only help us (ladies) to in turn, help our men be more stylish! ARMANI Eau Pour Homme is a fragrance that was first launched in 1984. In the words of Mr Giorgio Armani himself “I wanted to create a perfume which seduces the men beyond the generations and the years.” 29 years later, Giorgio Armani has achieved his goal! This year, Giorgio ARMANI Eau Pour Homme makes a comeback! The same gorgeous, masculine fragrance that was the first citrus chypre in 1984, hits the shelf with an updated box, a new bottle and a familiar Iconic face of the brand…. and who better to represent ARMANI than the very man himself Giorgio Armani! This is the first time, ever, that Giorgio Armani has been part of the advertising campaign and communication for any of his fragrances. Decoding ARMANI Eau Pour Homme Top notes of Bergamot,…

Thierry Mugler Angel – The Comet Eau De Toilette

Thierry Mugler Angel – The Comet Eau De Toilette

After nearly 20 years, Angel’s dazzling star gives birth to an undulating comet. Familiar yet still uniquely different, it’s a new way to get captivated by the powers of Angel! One of my all time favourite fragrances, right up there next to my Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is Thierry Mugler’s Angel! It’s one of those fragrances that is so unique, there is nothing quite like it. Many of you will agree, that when it comes to Angel, you either love it or you hate it. For me, it’s always been love at first spritz! New to the Angel galaxy, this April sees the launch of Thierry Mugler’s Angel in an Eau De Toilette version, named The Comet. Up until now Angel was only available as an Eau De Parfum, and because it is already such a powerful scent, a lot of people found it a bit overpowering. The new Angel EDT Comet is unmistakably Angel, but definitely a lot softer. With the EDP, the moment you sprayed it on, you felt it’s powers! Comet takes a little longer to develop and in a more subtle way. It has that same familiar, legendary and totally out of this world Angel scent,…

Fragrance Friday – Aura by Swarovski

Fragrance Friday – Aura by Swarovski

Crystal transformed to liquid energy! The new Aura by Swarovski, the first fragrance from the mega sparkling masters, will now have your aura sparkling too. “We wanted to push beyond fashion and glamour – Aura by Swarovski is a truly timeless concept. The idea of creating a fragrance and jewels at the same time is totally innovative and very much in keeping with the brand” says Markus Langes-Swarovski, a member of the Swarovski Crystal Board of Directors and great-grandson of the creator, Daniel Swarovski. Check out the amazing bottle! With it’s very own Swarovski crystal at the top! Pure gorgeous! Even the packaging opens like jewellery box, and because Swarovski supports beauty that is environmentally responsible, the entire line is refillable. I love this concept! Not only because it would be such a waste to throw away such a gorgeous bottle, but because you’re saving on the cost of packaging, so  you can get the refills at a lower rate and carry on enjoying this gorgeous scent! The packaging is all made from recycled and recyclable cardboard and contains no additional leaflets. All the information about the fragrance, including a precious code that gives you access to the Swarovski members…

Purr, Katy Perry’s debut fragrance hits SA Shores

Purr, Katy Perry’s debut fragrance hits SA Shores

Inspired by Katy Perry’s love for all things feline, her debut fragrance “Purr” hits South African shores on the 1st October 2011. The fragrance comes packed in a beautiful purple glass kitty with a heart shaped name collar. This kitty is named “Purr”, while Katy’s own cat is named Kitty Purry. It’s a rich and playful scent that was developed with Firmenich fragrances and Gigantic Parfums and Katy was heavily involved in every step of the development. “There is a wonderful world of fragrances out there, but like with my music, I believe there is room for me and my own unique twist on it” says Perry. The scent is fruity and feminine and you can smell the fresh citrus scents the moment you spray it on. It features top notes of peach nectar, forbidden apple and green bamboo, followed by a delicate heart of jasmine blossom, pink freesia and Bulgarian rose. The base notes of  Purr include vanilla orchid, white amber, sandalwood and musk. I love fragrances with a musky scent to them, it just gives the perfume a really sexy scent. Katy Perry PURR will be available at selected Stuttafords, Edgars, Red Square, Foschini and Truworths stores nation wide. It will retail at…
