 Continuing our presentation of a series of fresh scents that might appeal to people who like simplicity, we now turn to Tommy Girl 10. Tommy Hilfiger launched this perfume together with Tommy 10 (for men) last summer to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their perfume business. The description of the notes is alluring and as it turns out the fragrance itself does not disappoint. It possesses a very American quality in our eye of being fresh and clean at the same time with light florals that avoid being completely pedestrian by showcasing a water lily note that smells a bit different and even singular. It resembles the lily in Crown Perfumery Alpine Lily, a scent that it is discontinued and which makes one appreciate even more its presence in Tommy Girl 10. It is also reminiscent of another hard-to-find fragrance, Message from Orchids by Shiseido......

The luxurious Omani perfume house Amouage founded in 1983 by the Royal Family of Oman will launch a new duo of perfumes in mid-April called Reflection Woman and Reflection Man. Like for other perfumes from the Middle East, the spiritual and moral elements appear central to the conceptions of the fragrances. One could say that the inner self is payed more attention to as opposed to the outer self, the image we want to project of ourselves. Here, it is no exception. As Amouage says "The two fragrances celebrate the power of the individual and were created to inspire quiet introspection and a sense of one's true self and one's own inner inspiration." Reflection Woman Eau de Parfum was created by celebrated perfumer Maurice Roucel. It is described as a "A light, spring-like fragrance, with notes inspired by a secret garden. Water violet, purple freesia, and tropical green leaves in the top notes, sit above cool white flowers such as magnolia and jasmine in the heart. Warmth is injected in the base notes with the use of amber, cedarwood and sandalwood.".....

 The Aedes de Venustas boutique has received the new perfume from Santa Maria Novella called Angels of Florence. It was officially meant to be released in November of 2006 but was introduced earlier due to public pressure created by an article in the Japanese press. The perfume was issued to help raise funds for the 18 000 books from the Biblioteca Nazionale of Florence that still await restoration after 40 years have elapsed since the 1966 flood. You can read more about it as well as the olfactory signature of Florence and Santa Maria Novella in particular in Florence's Heady Aromas Evoke the Past.....

We already announced the upcoming limited edition of YSL's spring and summer version of Paris this year which is called Jardins Romantiques (Romantic Gardens). We simply had to post this picture of the adorable flacon which is decorated with views of Paris, the Eiffel Tower being in pink and the Arc de Triomphe in green. The jus promises to be colored with the same rosy and fresh green hues as it has notes of rose, lilac, lily of the valley, and cut grass. This would make a lovely gift and souvenir from Paris 2007 with its shabby chic (more chic than shabby though) and Paris appartment charm. It will retail for 54 Euros for a 125 ml bottle from April 2007. It's is now available here.

 Fresh has issued a new eau de parfum for the citrus lovers called Hesperides. According to Lev Glazman, CEO of Fresh Inc. it is a citrus scent meant to be tenacious: "[It] is a memorable full-bodied bouquet of citrus notes.

La Fuite des Heures, also marketed under the English name Fleeting Moment, was created in 1949 by the great perfumer Germaine Cellier who also gave us Coeur-Joie by Nina Ricci, Bandit by Piguet, Elysées 64-83, Jolie Madame,Vent Vert, and Monsieur Balmain by Balmain, amongst others. Her style can be characterized as bold, forceful (Bandit, Vent Vert) yet also capable of creating infinitesimally subtle nuances (Coeur-Joie). Today, one can find traces of her more forceful, almost primitive style at times in Mona di Orio's work, while her originality can be found again in Olivia Giacobetti's creations. La Fuite des Heures contains both her primitivist and softer romantic sense of nuances. Like the picture La Danse (The Dance) by Fauvist André Derain who was a friend of Germaine Cellier and for whom she posed, it is an ensemble of bold and graceful lines and as it turns out, seems to be colored with the same color tones: the brown of the amber, the grey of ambergris, the dark brown of leather, the chartreuse green of the anise, the darker green of thyme, the yellow of the hay, the mauve of the violet or orris, the golden hues (for me) of jasmine......
