Yves Rocher Tomate-Basilic & Poivron Liquid Hand Soaps {Bath & Body} {Fragrance News}

Poivron_yvesrocher.jpg

 

Yves Rocher has created two unconventional fragrances to perfume his liquid soaps called Tomate-Basilic (Tomato-Basil) and Poivron (Red Pepper). The sweet-gourmand trend is overwhelmingly present on the market and so to see a savory-gourmand trend develop in mass-marketed products is a refreshing concept. One could argue that in some countries tomatoes are not considered to be vegetables but fruits and are eaten with sugar, but within the Mediterranean culture context, these scents evoke lovely kitchen memories.....

Rose Essentielle by Bulgari {Perfume Review & Musings}

RoseEssentielle.png

 

As the summer approaches I want to retain the mood of spring and crave freshness and dewiness more than at the end of winter when all one can think of is about the forthcoming warmer days. As the temperature heats up I anticipate some of the more scorching days of summer and realize that I want to cultivate a freshness that is precisely that of spring, not that of winter nor of summer's cooler days.

Perfumes help us cultivate the moment and turn the wheel of time a little. Rose Essentielle by Bulgari feels just right for today's purpose of slowing down the advance of the season and put back the arm of the clock to that position in earlier spring when the new chilliness was too close to the rough cold to be fully appreciated. Especially in New England where temperatures can swing from one extreme to the other in record time, fragrances may prove helpful in making one not feel entirely deprived of these more subtle-feeling days.........

Daisy by Marc Jacobs {New Perfume}

Daisy_MarcJacobs.jpg

 

Marc Jacobs, after the success of Marc Jacobs, (2001) his fragrance based on gardenia and aimed at thirthy-something women, is now thinking about their younger counterparts, and will propose a new fragrance called Daisy, a flower he sees as a symbol of happiness and youthfulness. He is however quick to add that age is more a matter of spirit than of biological and social determination. The scent was created by perfumer Alberto Morillas of Firmenich.....
