Woman. Matriarch. Intuitive. Passionate. Bold and so much more. From multitasking and handling stressful situations, women are basically demigods that need to be appreciated and celebrated, not only on women’s day, but each day because they are yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s woman modality.

Just like Cleopatra did, we need to pamper the women around us and what better way to do it than with a fragrance that she will cherish and will create everlasting memories. A fragrance that reflects a woman’s personality is absolutely empowering and boosts confidence enabling them to move forward despite the challenges.

Here are a few fragrances inspired by women and their beauty;

  • Bvlgari’s Rose Goldea: Cleopatra, the jewelers muse is the inspiration for this fragrance
  • Versace’s Dylan Blue Pour Femme: “Dylan Blue Pour Femme is my tribute to femininity. So I created a strong, sensuous yet refined fragrance for a woman who knows her own power.” – Donatella Versace
  • Lancome’s La vie est belle: The fragrance of Happiness.

Happy March(finally)!  Wow, January and February (figuratively speaking) felt like the ‘loooongest month’!  Just reminiscing what we rounded up for our families this month. Many of us didn’t know what to go for; a more oriental or woody, scent for the “hims” and big white floras’ for the “hers”. Conclusion – we tried them all and we would be happy with any of these lovely gifts if we were gifted for any time of the year (hint hint). 
 
We had our best pick for ending this February was the CK Obsessed Intense. 
Gentlemen, this scent The dark dry down dominated by vanilla, amber and brazillian guayac is fantastic. The rhubarb  opening is very nice as well.
Ladies, the opening is great, citrus and soft oriental. It later settles to a more musk, powdery feel on the skin. Great for the warm weather!     
 
Let us know what your preference was for February. Best yet let us know why it suits you.  
 
Enjoy your day!

Parfum

Parfum, also known as extrait de parfum or pure perfume, has the highest fragrance concentration. Parfum will contain anywhere from 15% to 40% fragrance however concentration is generally between 20% to 30% for most parfums. Of all scents, Parfum generally  commands the highest price of all the fragrance types due to the high concentration of fragrance.

Eau de Parfum

After parfum, eau de parfum (EDP) has the next highest concentration of fragrance. Eau de parfum generally has a fragrance concentration of between 15% and 20%.

Eau de parfum is one of the most common fragrance types and is suitable for everyday wear.

Eau de Toilette

Eau de toilette (EDT) has a fragrance concentration of between 5% and 15%. It is cheaper than eau de parfum and is one of the most popular types of fragrance available. EDT is considered by some to be for daywear while eau de parfum is considered nightwear. The term eau de toilette came from the French term “faire sa toilette” which means getting ready.

Eau de Cologne

Eau de cologne, or EDC, has a much lower concentration of fragrance than the above types of perfume. EDC generally has a 2% to 4% percent concentration of fragrance and a high concentration of alcohol. It is cheaper than other types of fragrance.
