2008-05-28 18:45:00 Amici. Per la seconda volta vengo qui a farvi una marchetta per la quale stavolta prenderò soltanto 20 dollari (una fame, ma mi ci ripago le cuffie ungheresi). La cosa che mi perplime è che per la seconda volta devo fare un post su un azienda di profumi. Spero che non sia perché si è sparsa una notizia non vera: quella vera, per intenderci, è che a me le fragranze garbano. E quindi eccoci nuovamente a parlare di Boss Fragrances. Al solito qui non mandano nulla da odorare, anche se, qualora vogliamo, possiamo chiedere il campione omaggio qua (quello vecchio è arrivato, è una cartolina. La potete mettere in mezzo ai libri brutti e odorarla quando vi vengono le nausee da studio).

Calvin Klein Secret Obsession, CK IN2U POP ~ new fragrances
2008-05-26 15:43:00 Calvin Klein will launch Secret Obsession, a new fragrance for women fronted by Eva Mendes, this coming September. The Secret Obsession fragrance is a floriental with no relationship to the original Calvin Klein Obsession scent other than the name and the steamy advertising (the television spot has apparently been nixed by network censors). According to a Coty representative, Obsession put Calvin Klein on the map in 1985 and continues to be an integral piece of the brand portfolio...While Obsession epitomized the overt glamour and sexuality of the Eighties, Secret Obsession will become the meaning of what is sexy today ? more personal, sophisticated and intoxicating. Eva Mendes is a reflection of how things have changed over the past 20 years." Secret Obsession's notes include exotic plum, mace, rose de damas, jasmine, orange flower, tuberose, cashmere woods, burnt amber, vanilla and sandalwood.

Cartier Roadster, Oscar Summer 2008 ~ new fragrances
2008-05-09 19:19:00 Cartier will launch Roadster for Men this coming September. The "mineral fougère" fragrance with a "powerful mint note" was named for the Cartier Roadster watch, and was developed by Cartier perfumer Mathilde Laurent, who noted... It was interesting to work with because it is difficult to make mint play well with other ingredients.

The notes for Cartier Roadster include bergamot, mint, vetiver, patchouli, labdanum, cashmere wood and vanilla. Cartier Roadster will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching grooming products. It will launch at Bloomingdales and Cartier boutiques in September, elsewhere in October.

2008-04-25 18:43:00 Alè, dopo solo un anno e mezzo (si nota che forse molto probabilmente quasi per caso se dio vuole le cose cominciano ad andare meno peggio?) è nuovamente sugli schermi di codesto sglaps un nuovo post-marchetta. Quindi per queste righe verrò retribuita e non è un consiglio spontaneo. Ebbene, qui non si ricevono campioni o robe gratis ma per recensire ma ci si occupa lo stesso di parlare di una cosa che a me piace molto: i profumi. E l'altra fortuna è stata che mi chiede la recensione una delle marche che gradisco di più, ovvero la Boss Fragrances. La cosa bella che mi ha fatto conoscere (ricordare?) questa campagna e che voglio rammentare anche a voi è una caratteristica che varia, e che a volte ci sfugge quando dobbiamo regalare/usare/comprare profumi: ossia che variando la stagione quando la mattina si mette il proprio profumo (magari Boss) preferito, l'odore sarà più o meno intenso a seconda del calore della nostra...
Washington Tremlett MPH, Molinard Fleur de Chocolat ~ new fragrances
2008-04-25 00:24:00 Washington Tremlett has launched MPH (Miles Per Hour), their fourth fragrance: The place? The beautiful landscape of Sussex. The adrenalin of motor racing at Goodwood, the fascinating horse racing, the aesthetic features of cricket and golf, the natural scenery of the hunt. All this inspired MPH-Miles Per Hour-a tribute to speed and dynamic. A scent dedicated to the authentic and genuine British touch. The notes include citrus, lavender, pepper, oakmoss and patchouli.

Incense fragrances from Tauer Perfumes, Demeter, Matthew Williamson
2008-04-23 02:57:00 Yesterday I wore two discontinued favorites: L'Artisan's lovely Jacinthe des Bois and Gobin Daudé's Sous Le Buis. Layered, the combination was the perfect spring-time fragrance: happy, floral, and very green. But the cool evenings of spring are also perfect for incense fragrances. Here are four worth considering: I loved Incense extrême by Tauer Perfumes, and I can't remember now why I took it into my head that I wouldn't like the newer Incense rosé nearly as well. Whatever the reason, I was quite wrong, as I like it even better. This is a simply lovely fragrance, not quite so bright and airy as the extrême, but still, not quite dark: it has the same soaring quality. The rose is subtle, in fact, the whole thing is simultaneously subtle (none of the notes scream) and strong (I found two sprays to be one spray too many). The citrus in the opening is juicy, and the rose is a bit dewy in the early stages, but for the most part, it is a dry fragrance, and while it has more of a gro...

Top 10 Spring Fragrances 2008
2008-04-18 10:34:00 In the doom-and-gloom days of my late teens and early twenties, one of my favorite poems was ?Spinster? by Sylvia Plath; at one point, I even photocopied this poem from Plath?s collected works and pinned it to the wall of my dorm room. It relates the thoughts of an emotionally repressed young woman who, during ?a ceremonious April walk / with her latest suitor,? finds herself dismayed by early spring?s ?rank wilderness of fern and flower; / She judged petals in disarray, / The whole season, sloven.? Many real-life seasons passed, and I eventually loosened my grip on such tense pessimism (although I will always value Plath?s work). I even decided that it?s not such a bad thing, after all, to ?reel giddy in bedlam spring? when the opportunity presents itself. Here, then, are ten scents that evoke springtime giddiness in me whenever I wear them: Etro Dianthus: Carnation is one of my favorite fragrance notes, and I particularly enjoy it during the transitional seasons of fall or sprin...

Lancome Peut Etre, Heeley Sel Marin ~ new fragrances
2008-04-13 23:36:00 Lancôme has launched a new fragrance for women, Peut-Être: The hope of love, soft as a breeze. Alone in her beloved French garden, a woman wanders among roses, lilac, iris and jasmine. She is thinking of him, knowing that he loves her but hoping he will soon show her a sign that will banish all her doubts. A breeze arises and strokes her skin, carrying fragrant petals softly into her hair. She closes her eyes and lets the aura of the garden envelop her senses. She hears footsteps, opens her eyes and looks into his. She sees a new and special intensity in his gaze. And is something hidden in his hand? The moment is electric. Something important is going to happen?peut-être?perhaps. Note that the packaging is the same as that used for the reissues in the La Collection range, but Lancôme no longer lists "La Collection" on their US website (it is still listed in France and the UK, and the US site does still sell Climat and Mille et une Roses), and the website does not even mention the ...
