 Oscar de la Renta has opened a new e-tailer website. Fragrances that are made directly available from the brand are: Oscar Crystal Parfum, Oscar Eau de Toilette, Intrusion Eau de Toilette, So Eau de Toilette, Pour Lui, and Oscar Mens. The house of Oscar de la Renta offers a selection of beautiful ultra-feminine romantic perfumes. This is a good reminder, I think, that we ought to revisit their line. That also reminds me that I need to put together a list of uber-feminine perfumes for TSS. Source: Women's Wear Daily

If you're desperate about the new ban on liquids that is being enforced in nearly all airports, except in Canada, and wonder how you are going to survive without any moisturizer (and an abundant supply of water) during your flight, think about purchasing solid moisturizers or lotion bars. These just need to be rubbed onto the skin and will melt with your body heat.  • Surgeon's Skin Secret This moisturizer was initially used by surgeons to heal the skin after surgery. They come in twist-up stick containers. The try-me size costs $4.95. • Queen Helene's 100% Cocoa Butter Stick or any other 100% cocoa butter sticks.
• Lotion Bar Spice n' Ice by Woodsprite. Ingredients are: Organic Virgin Cocoa Butter, Organic Shea Butter,
Beeswax, Avocado Oil, Natural Vitamin E & Select Essential Oils of Ginger, Clove, Peppermint, Juniper, Rosemary and Cassia. It costs $16. Just keep it in a cool place before take off so that it does not melt too soon, as they seem to be worried about this possibility. A little freeze pack might help...

Aedes has received the latest Serge Lutens, Chypre Rouge, and is ready to take your orders. I can vouch for their service which is excellent and extremely swift. You also get 7 free samples with each order.
 Guerlain is issuing a reedition of Mahora (2000) called Mayotte which is part of the collection "Les Parisiennes". The new flacon, a classic Guerlain bee bottle, is different from the original but the juice remains the same. These reeditions usually retail around 140 Euros so grab a discounted bottle of Mahora if you want to smell expensive for less!...

Aedes de Venustas has just received a batch of hard-to-find European fragrances including the relatively recent releases Cèdre, Tonka, and Pivoine eaux de toilette by Estéban. I very quickly tested these in Paris and, at first sniff, thought that Cèdre was the most interesting until the dry down, that is, which I seem to recall was paradoxically less rich and deep than the body of the perfume. Pivoine, as I recall, was the least exciting, smelling nice but a bit banal. However, I should certainly try to test them again more at length. Aedes has also received Paestum Rose by Le Sirenuse.

 The limited edition of the new eau de toiletteTropiques by Lancôme is in principle only sold at travel retail spaces although a limited number of stores is said to also carry it. It is now available for purchase at online discounter Strawberrynet.com. It retails $50 for a flacon of 50 ml. For more information about the perfume please read my previous post here.
