The Ultimate Gift Guide For The Woman Who Seems To Have It All

The Ultimate Gift Guide For The Woman Who Seems To Have It All

I don’t know about you girls, but the older I get the less I want! Is that weird? It’s not that I dont want “stuff”, I do, I just don’t want random stuff that serves no purpose in my life, know what I mean? The funny thing is, more and more women I speak to have said the same thing. They want cool shiz that makes their smiles grow and hearts flutter.

YSL Oriental Collection – The Full Fragrance Line

YSL Oriental Collection – The Full Fragrance Line

Between passion and excellence, Yves Saint Laurent creates an exceptional collection of four high end and beautiful fragrances, inspired by the majesty of the East. A little while ago I shared my favourite scent from this collection, Splendid Wood and today, I’m going to tell you about the entire magical, mystical, opulent and indulgent YSL Oriental Collection. Prepare to go on a magic carpet ride… This exclusive fragrance collection is a tribute to the Algerian born designer, who had an on going love affair with the East. It’s a collection where every precious alchemy takes you on a magical journey, where each scent conjures up a setting and an atmosphere, pointing to every facet, contrast, treasure and ambivalence. The entire collection features the same majestic bottle. Sleek and solid, where gold is the spendor, adorned with a sophisticated pattern, enhanced by the YSL Cassandra, that’s been given an oriental signature with fine metallic wisps of carved and gilded latticework. YSL Supreme Bouquet Between Exhalation and Serenity SUPREME BOUQUET or a peaceful getaway in an oriental garden.

That my friends, is this fragrance! YSL Splendid Wood!  It’s exquisite, majestic, beautiful, rich, indulgent and is going down as one of my all time faves! Splendid Wood is part of YSL’s Oriental Collection, which comprises of four magnificent scents; Splendid Wood, Supreme Bouquet, Noble Leather and Majestic Rose. Four exquisite, unisex scents that capture the splendours of the Orient – which was for the iconic designer, Yves Saint Laurent, an endless source of inspiration. Through these fragrances, YSL captures the muffled, refined atmosphere of oriental places. YSL Splendid Wood took me right back to my amazing trip in Dubai earlier this year – reminding me of the Desert Safari where the scents of the orient were most prominent. Rich, indulgent aromas with strong woody scents. The smell of intensity and Arabic adventure. “The greatest fragrances are those that take you on the most fabulous journeys. They are the ones that make us happy.” – Yves Saint Laurent. If you like Tom Ford Sahara Noir (my…
