Some of My Favorite Scents...

Trésor by Lancôme
 Tresor is a treasure among perfume creations (‘tresor’ in French means ‘treasure’). It is one of the best-selling and most popular perfumes in the world. This exceptionally warm floral-oriental has a very fine and elegant composition made of rose, heliotrope, orris, apricot and iris. It was created in 1990. The nose behind this fragrance is Sophia Grojsman.

It is classified as a sharp, oriental, floral fragrance. This feminine scent possesses a blend of lilac and apricot, with lower notes with amber and musk. It is recommended for daytime wear.


Insolence by Guerlain
 Insolence is a new bold fragrance for young women. The face of perfume is the movie star Hilary Swank, the Oscar-winner for the main role in the 'Million Dollar Baby' film. This perfume will most probably surprise the Guerlain perfumes fans, as it is rather unusual, modern and fruity sweet. But, Guerlain is not afraid to surprise, and even provoke.

There is a delicate and soft violet waiting for you in the top notes, followed by red-fruits cocktail with raspberry domination. The heart is floral-sweet, composed of violet, rose, and orange blossom. At the end, sweet raisins and balsams together have joined iris and Tonka bean to round the composition. The creators of Insolence are Maurice Roucel i Sylvaine Delacourte, and the half-sphere bottle with the rose-like shaped stopper was created by Serge Mansau. The perfume was launched in 2006.


Red by Giorgio Beverly Hills

Red by Giorgio Beverly Hills is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Red was launched in 1989. The nose behind this fragrance is Bob Aliano. Top notes are bergamot, osmanthus, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, peach, black currant, hyacinth and aldehydes; middle notes are carnation, rose, jasmine, rosemary, gardenia, tuberose, iris, lily-of-the-valley and litchi; base notes are patchouli, oakmoss, amber, cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla, myrhh and olibanum.

Cool Waters by Davidoff
 The ocean, one of nature’s basic elements, is the origin of a symbolic fragrance that celebrates the natural beauty of women ... The legend of Davidoff Cool Water Woman continues with a new eau de parfum, a fragrance that expresses even more femininity and sensuousness. Inspired by Aphrodite, the character and energy of the woman using Cool Water Woman symbolises the ocean – its depths and mysticism are the origin of her eternal femininity and irresistible allure. 

Ten years after the successful launch of Cool Water for men, the women's version was finally released. The scent is very calm with aquatic notes that remind us of ocean breeze and cool sea-water, fruits and woods. Top notes are luscious, cool and aquatic with Citrus, Honeydew Melon, Quince, Pineapple, Lotus and Lily. Heart notes are gentle flowers; May Rose, Jasmine and Muguet. Base notes are Musk, Vanilla, Peach, Sandalwood, Orris and Vetiver. Cool Water was created by Pierre Bourdon in 1996.

Black Amethyst by Bath & Body Works
Master perfumers have seductively layered a sophisticated blend of Italian bergamot and rare camellias with exotic sandalwood and a surprising twist of vetiver in this hypnotic fine fragrance, inspired by chic, sensual and confident women. The top notes include sparkling citruses-bergamot, mandarin, tangerine, juicy fruit and water melon juice. The heart awaits us with lily of the valley, magnolia, gardenia, freesia, peony petals and camellia flowers. The base notes include patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, musk and vanilla.

A new fragrant saga by the house of Bath & Body Works is dedicated to a gem, black amethyst and presented through the fragrant composition of the new perfume Black Amethyst which belongs to the Signature collection. It was announced as the sexiest edition so far, made of a mixture of sensual flowers, exotic sandalwood and intoxicating spices.  Black Amethyst was launched in 2008.
