SCENT: Women's Scent Prestige

  • Bond No. 9 New York - Andy Warhol Union Square Eau de Parfum -Warhol began painting and silk screening a series of highly stylized, phantasmagorically colored flowers during the 1960s at his studio on Union Square. Both the florals and the location were the inspiration for Andy Warhol Union Square Eau de Parfum.The cool and warm seductive green floral features lily of the valley, blue freesia, golden amber, musk, green-stem notes and white birch wood. 
  • CHANEL - N°5 Eau Première - The most cherished fragrance in the world is now reborn in N°5 Eau Première. A faithful Essence, delicately concentrated, reveals a new realm of enchantment. A modern Essence, gently energized, renews itself time and time again. An essential Essence, an eternal mystery: The timeless myth of N°5 has been our signature since 1921.

  • ESTÉE LAUDER - Sensuous - Sensuous is a warm, inviting fragrance that explores a new fragrance category, Woody Amber. Notes of Molten Woods, glowing Amber and Atmospheric Florals mix with Sandalwood, Black Pepper, juicy Mandarin Pulp and Honey to reveal a sleek, intensely feminine scent.

"G" is for the modern gourmand, with its notes of coconut, jasmine sambac and cotton woods.
  • Shiseido - Zen Fragrance - Based on the olfactory composition of the now extinct Blue Rose, Zen Fragrance evokes an emotion and a sensation of pure energy and freedom.

If there is anything I am most excited about when it comes to beauty products, are the new anti-aging products. From mass to prestige, these are the finalists in the Anti-Aging category for the CEW Beauty Insider's Choice Awards.

The ingredients work in tandem to increase skin surface renewal and hydrate skin, refining the appearance of wrinkles and pores with noticeable results in only four weeks.

The capsules provide an instant burst of hydration to refresh dull, devitalized skin and nourish and strengthen the skin’s support structure.
