Many thanks to Sue Phillips,Fragrance Expert, CEO of Scenterprises and Founder of Scentarium<br />
for sending me a deluxe sample of Balsamic Vanilla,<br />
<br />
Balsamic Vanilla from The Scentarium collection is a sweet, creamy and smooth scent with a hint of resin that enhances the scent. It's actually vibrant scent that will get you noticed not so much by the sweetness but by the energy it produces when worn.<br />
<br />
Sue told me the Vanilla Beans are from Madagascar and from my research that is the finest Vanilla Beans on the planet!<br />
<br />
I love the smoothness of the scent and how it can be worn alone or as it is preferred by Scentarium, a Perfume Blend with other scents.<br />
<br />
Balsamic Vanilla stayed on my skin for over eight hours and the drydown was soft and powdery on my skin.<br />

<br />
I awakened the next day and I could still smell Balsamic Vanilla. It was comforting to know that a fragrance can last that long. You definitely get your monies worth. Plus it is ideal to be worn by men and women.<br />
<br />
Sue provided me with the sample in the latter part of the winter. So, I wore it at that time and now in the Spring.<br />
<br />
Balsamic Vanilla can be worn all year. I actually feel that it became a little sweeter in the Spring especially on a few of those days when the temperature was over eighty degrees!<br />
<br />
I am very impressed with Balsamic Vanilla! I like the idea of its multiple usages in natural scents I own such as fruity, floral and spicy.<br />
<br />
The outcome was beautiful and I must become a customer of Scenterprises. Have you read all the testimonials and those coming from celebrities!<br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jo Malone began her international fragrance and scented candle business in 1983 from her kitchen, where she made bath oils as thank-you gifts for her facial clients. She opened her first store in London in 1994, and in 1999 she sold the Jo Malone London brand to Estee Lauder Companies. Recently, she launched a new brand, Jo Loves, igniting the excitement of fashion and beauty converts all over the world.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Raised in government-subsidized housing in Kent in the early 1960s, Jo Malone left school as a teenager to care for her mother after she had a stroke. Jo had not been successful in school because of her dyslexia, but she had the ability to see and feel everything in scent. Her at-home beauty business and hand-made products became popular, and word of her talent spread until an international brand was born. After the sale of her company and the birth of her son, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent treatment in New York. Thus began the second chapter of her life, and in this memoir, Jo tells her full amazing and inspiring person."</span><div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> I hope Mandy Aftel forgives me for my tardiness in with this review. As you may know, my favorite scent is Vanilla. So, when I found out that Mandy created a new scent that features the scent of Vanilla, I knew I wanted to talk about it.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> I was patient in coming to terms in writing about Vanilla Smoke because I wanted to learn more about the Vanilla Orchid industry and how their is a shortage of "real" Vanilla in Madagascar in particular. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> During my research on this subject, I read reviews from other well respected perfume bloggers about Vanilla Smoke. A few of these bloggers mentioned "citrus", "leathery", "woodsy" just to name a few.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> But out of these few bloggers no one mentioned the word, "gourmand". </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The sample I received from Aftelier Perfume is Vanilla Smoke Eau de Parfum and it is a gourmand!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> In fact, the word gourmand is mentioned in the description of this fragrance. Mandy is absolutely correct! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> When I first laced my wrist with Vanilla Smoke EDP. I immediately got a beautiful array of sweet vanilla that cofirmed to me, it originated from Madagascar. Vanilla from Madigascar has a unique sweetness that is humbled by a superior rich dark and creamy aroma and enhanced by Mandy's incredible skills by giving it a smoky rendition of a harmonic melody.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> Vanilla Smoke is created with one of the key notes and that is vanilla absolute. Mandy went the extra mile by enhances the scent with the flavor of<i> lapsang souchong tea leaves</i>.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> Research indicates that lapsang is an ancient Chinese black tea and the lapsang leaves are traditionally smokedried over pinewood fires that takes on a distinctive smoky aroma.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> So, there is no doubt why this fragrance is named Vanilla Smoke. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><b> This is the extra mile I just spoke about. Most natural Vanilla fragrances on the market would have just left it having vanilla absolute in it. Mandy used a love of lapsang souchong tea leaves with it's natural smoky aroma with the vanilla absolute... that is still considered a gourmand fragrance!</b></span><br />

question: “Will we have to tell our children and grandchildren that what was

industrial technology and mass markets we separated ourselves from the natural
world and the wonderful bounty nature has provided for literally thousands of
years. This motivated me to find ways to help people reconnect with nature
because humans and nature have a symbiotic relationship with each other. One
cannot survive without the other. Humans are part of nature, and need nature to
survive. If we were synthetic organisms composed of synthetic molecules this
will be different, but nature is perfect and wonderful! Have a walk in a
natural setting and look around: even the tiniest flower is in harmony, what
perfection!</span></span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Certification Program is succeeding because more and more people are looking
for healthier and more sustainable alternatives for what they buy including
their perfumes.<span class="apple-converted-space"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488891712315_3637" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> </span>Perfume used to be
sacred, precious and was made with pure essential oils and botanicals with the
knowledge of the natural power of flowers and plants. Natural perfumery
has existed for thousands of years, yet synthetic perfumery as we have today
has been around for less than 150 years - only a brief period in the history of
perfumery. To me it is a shame we now have to use the term “natural perfume” to
distinguish ourselves from synthetic perfumes, but that is the current reality.</span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

That is a lot to cover, but let me give you my short list of the most important
things. First, there are many fine natural perfumers including our beautiful
IPF Certified Natural Perfumers, but to move natural perfumery forward we need
many more natural perfumers and others within the fragrance supply chain
properly educated in the historical importance of natural perfumery.
Additionally, there has to be greater attention on the safety aspects of
fragrance, as well as a better understanding of the business side of perfume,
including more knowledge of the global nature of perfume. We also have to
insure a dependable and safe fragrance supply chain including growers,
distillers, essential oils, and retailers. Once the supply chain is healthy and
strong, responding to consumer demand, this new industry will flourish

Union has destroyed natural perfumery in Europe through unnecessarily
restrictive regulations. We can’t let that happen in other parts of the world
including the US. Self-regulation is a far better alternative. We also have to
be sensitive to potentially depleting natural resources around the world from
increasing demand for these resources. We need to work towards sustainable and
environmentally sensitive sources for all of our raw materials wherever they
come from worldwide. Natural Perfumery education needs to include teaching
about the importance of replanting heritage flowers and plants around the world.</span></span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Natural Perfumery has amazing stories to tell and a lot of great information is
out there but it needs to be structured more efficiently and effectively if we
are going to move the needle. And it isn’t just educating people about natural
perfumes. Even more critical is educating about the risks of losing our
important heritage of natural perfume. There used to be flower fields grown for
fragrance worldwide giving jobs and wealth to many people especially in
third-world countries. We have to decide if we will continue to allow the
destruction of natural perfumery by the substitution of synthetics for flowers.</span></span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I remember my first email to Christi Meshell, Award-winning natural perfumer. That was several years ago. Since that time, Christi, the owner of House of Matriarch is reaching the pedestal of success with expansion of perfume collections and being the only natural perfumery in a major retail like Nordstrom speaks volume for the niche perfumery category. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Christi Meshell's response to perfume and life when I speak with her is always on her own merits...non-confrontation, always positive and always with a loving spirit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I can see why success follows Christi and why I am so blessed to have known her. The House of Matriarch is going worldwide. I just know it and I felt on Valentine's Day, Christi is the perfect example of love, peace, persistent and what it takes to be successful in the fragrance industry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The House of Matriarch collections are a true work of art from a divine goddess with no formal training! How is this possible? Christi says it comes from within and it all started with sacred candle making.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #e06666;">I<b>t’s difficult to pinpoint an actual “start” point. Seven years ago, I made my debut as a Perfumer and established House of Matriarch with the release of <i>MATRIARCH, </i>but that was far from the beginning. Sacred candle making was my specialty in those days, and I composed the blends for my candles according to the energetic correspondences for the candle’s purpose. My candles were popular and I was starting to get a lot of special orders Then the wax started getting in my way – it was the natural essences and blending them to synergize their properties that I was passionate about. </b></span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Sometimes I feel as if I “snuck in through the back door” because I have zero training –no classical training or study with any other Perfumers, and no previous experience in the beauty industry. The essences themselves brought me to this place and have been my teachers. I’m not beholden to the ideologies of the industry, I’m “doing it wrong” and from a creative perspective, that seems to be working.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>What I cherish are the personal relationships I have built with each individual essence. There is an intimacy that I enjoy with each extract in and of itself. Many of these relationships began early in my life, as I learned a lot about plants and herbs from my mother who owned a health food store and created her own tinctures. This appreciation of what each essence can uniquely offer to a blend inspires my ability to predict how they will effect a composition, and what amount is just right to produce the desired effect without drawing too much attention to the individual note.</b></span></div>

HoM is not competing with anyone - I don’t even “sniff out” the competition. When you view fragrance making as an art form, then any competitiveness dissolves. I’m all about nontraditional fragrance composition, using my own perfume </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , sans-serif; text-indent: 0px;">organ that I have built myself over the years. Inspirations can be brought to fruition quickly and since we are small batch, we can afford to take bigger risks with unordinary notes that have outstanding effects. For instance, Forbidden’s wonderful top note of wormwood, and the accord of bitter herbs like dong quai and henna found in Bittersweet Symphony.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">November 2016 – With the ninth edition of </span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">Esxence – The Scent of Excellence</strong><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">, the Artistic Perfumery event comes back to Milan once again, from 23 to 26 March 2017, to keep us all spellbound with stories, excitement, new ideas and people from the wonderful world of perfume. This enchanted universe is represented to perfection by the new theme chosen for this edition’s evocative event design: </span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">the Garden of Eden</strong><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">, where a shower of budding flowers and ethereal colours will welcome visitors to </span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">this corner of earthly paradise in the heart of Milan’s urban skyline.</strong><br /><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">The very epitome of a pleasant location, the Garden of Eden </span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">expresses the pure dimension of creativity and imagination</strong><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"> that has what it takes to reawaken our sense: only here can they perceive the most harmonious and refined of fragrances. Artistic Perfumery is the key that opens the door to this perfect world and Esxence is </span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">the event that comes back year after year to enable professionals and aficionados to pass through the door. </strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">In the Garden of Eden, the perfect ideal takes on the connotations of </span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">a dream</strong><span style="color: #202020;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> whose outlines are not sharply defined, while its colors are tenuous, yet at the same time bright and luminous: this is where everything starts and this is where we would all like to return every evening, as a place of refuge. </span></span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">Here our thoughts take to the wing and our creative forces set off harmonic vibrations in every receptive organ.</strong><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"> Waking up and coming back to reality can be brutal, but our nostrils and our spirit retain </span><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">something that reminds us that perfection can be achieved in our everyday lives and shared: that something is the unique, refined product of artistic perfumery</strong><span style="color: #202020;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">. When we compose it, savor it and put it on, we agree to live on the frontier of our terrestrial space-time, in a luxurious journey between who we are and who we would like to be.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">The international parent perfumery houses, both long-established and up-and-coming, that show in the exhibition area are subjected to a strict selection to ensure their ability to offer visitors an excellent array of interest in terms of new business and newly-discovered perfumes, confirming Esxence’s status as the capital of Artistic Perfumery – and more besides.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> WOW! What a year for spectacular perfume launches in 2016. The world of niche perfumes have arrived in big style and I just love all the intricate notes and beautiful packaging from perfumeries around the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> It was truly extremely difficult to narrow down the BEST of 2016. I think all who create are the best and when it comes to perfumes. I feel every perfumer is a winner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> However in a age of social media that has swamped the world with many bloggers and vloggers, I feel I must add my personal touch to the category of niche and natural perfumeries who are best to me for various reasons and not solely on the scent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the category of <span style="color: #990000;"><b>NICHE</b> </span>perfumery the honor goes to<b> </b><span style="background-color: white;"><b>MÉLODIE DE L'AMOUR</b> by DUSITA Parfums!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">It was a honor and a privilege to explore the world of DUSITA Parfums. I learned about the history and why DUSITA Parfums came to be. More importantly, I got to know the perfumer and founder, </span><span style="font-size: 18px;">Pissara Umavijani. </span>The beauty of Pissara personality and her unique introduction to her brand by introducing herself first is a rarity with brands.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I love how she expressed her love of her late father, Dr. Montri</span><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Umavijani</span><span style="font-size: 18px;"> who was a poet and those memories breathe life into DUSITA Parfum that has taken the world by storm.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: , , , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><b>MELODIE DE L'AMOUR </b>is based on a "love song" with a Floral essence that evokes blissful love with heady flowers such as tuberose, gardenia and jasmine. A true oasis that is meant to be. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: , , , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: , , , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">I first met, Laurie Stern, owner and perfufmer of Velvet & Sweet Pea's Purrfumery in San Francisco at the Artisan Fragrance Salon by TasteTV in 2011.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: , , , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: , , , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Laurie was so engaging warm and exciting to meet. I was not only a guest speaker for the event but a judge. While talking with Laurie she made me feel like a superstar!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: , , , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: , , , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Velvet & Sweet Pea's Purrfumery is dedicated to providing natural perfumes that are cruelty-free and hand blended to perfection.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Introduction:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The International Perfume Foundation (IPF) recently launched a Directory for Certified Natural Perfumers worldwide. The Directory is the first step in responding to a growing number of questions consumers have been asking about the contents of perfumes and the importance of natural products in their lives.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></b><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b> </b></span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Interview:</span></b><br />
<b> </b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Anita Kalnay is a 100% natural perfumer and owner of <b>FLYING COLORS NATURAL </b>PERFUMES in Canada. Anita is dedicated to the "Art of Perfumery" by the collection of unique and diversed scents that are created in her perfumery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <b> FLYING COLORS NATURAL PERFUMES</b> can provide you the opportunity to design your own signature scent or celebrate a special occasion by hosting a perfume party!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Anita is honored with the title of<i> Certified Natural Perfumer</i> with the International Perfume Foundation. She is among a select group of natural perfumers worldwide that uphold natural perfumery in the highest regard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Anita Kalnay</span></i> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">is someone you should know.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where are you based?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Vancouver Island, BC, Canada</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How did you start? What was the first scent that made you decide to become a perfumer ? When was that?</span></b><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTtq8F62tl1h-tObV-OIecw-vnVRtsk29HnJtIZ5tjpeIo9sbZ6c0P3Ag8kZAnueAxx6KckQvjFQXNaxoIv05P4TXRbMrhgoMWEwWMUeEphEe8juuFW9vuWmD_XfB8Zu3Am6SF8oFXoQ/s1600/Flying+Colors+Natural+Perfume.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTtq8F62tl1h-tObV-OIecw-vnVRtsk29HnJtIZ5tjpeIo9sbZ6c0P3Ag8kZAnueAxx6KckQvjFQXNaxoIv05P4TXRbMrhgoMWEwWMUeEphEe8juuFW9vuWmD_XfB8Zu3Am6SF8oFXoQ/s320/Flying+Colors+Natural+Perfume.jpg" width="240" /></a><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>My Perfume Journey started as a ‘gift' to myself for my 50th birthday – after a Spiritual Teacher ‘challenged' me to ‘become more than 1% of my potential’. My first scent was actually a ‘gift’ to my clients called PROSPERITY which was designed in 2002 and re-launched to celebrate 2012. “But where will the money come from? Why from wherever it is at the time” was the quote from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi that inspired the scent – a fantasy chypre. It was sent out as a fragrant card that said “write a wish for yourself on this card and hide it away someplace special”. Everyone did it and within a very short time I was receiving all sorts of feedback on how quickly their wishes had come true. That was the beginning.</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are a natural perfumer, so when did you made the choice to become a natural perfumer instead of following the majority of the brands making synthetic perfumes. What led you to make this choice?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I don’t really like conventional perfumes and I can’t wear them. And I don’t feel inspired by Brands themselves, but more a desire to explore the unexplored – led by my nose into magical arenas of the unknown. I love being a Designer first and I am attracted to bold and unusual notes and how they can be combined – and the VIRTUES that those combinations create. Pure esoteric beauty that uplifts and heals the psyche. When we are in ‘balance’ with ourselves, all of nature can be in ‘harmony’.</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where can we find your perfumes ? Are you distributed worldwide?</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I am a small niche designer. Perfumes can be purchased directly from the website. Personal contact and matching 'the right scent to the right person' is important to the Flying Colors concept. www.genieinabottle.ca</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can you give us an idea what type of person buys your product ? From which country are most of them from ? Do you have many European clients?</span></b><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Most people find out about the Flying Colors Natural Perfumes by word of mouth, either having met me as a client or friend – as I also offer Ayurvedic Aromatherapy Massage in my scope of practice. The Natural Perfumes are a more refined use of essential oils in a co-creative design process. They are just now starting to surface in popularity. I would say that people are generally curious to try ' natural' perfume alternatives and clients are seeking tools that will help them to connect to their ‘soul essence’ qualities more specifically. Unless you have met me, you’ve probably never heard of me. We do ship worldwide and recommend ordering samples first.</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you think the use of social media can spread the message of natural perfume as a healthier alternative?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Like Nature – the seeds of our Natural Perfume industry are just now starting to sprout! I’m not even sure that they are actually visibly coming through the soil just yet. But they will soon! A movement like this is the beginning of a lot of FUN and some lovely healthy, eco-conscious alternatives for those who want to re-connect to the elemental basics of Nature. Fragrant ethers – are the most ‘evolved’ state of plants themselves.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>YES! Social media is so honest! I love the personal stories that people share and how fast something can travel as news. Like artists – Perfumers also have unique styles that are conveyed in the energy of their creations – especially with naturals. I like Pinterest as well as it offers a more visual ‘collection’ and sharing. Niche Perfumers can be so focused and hard to find that if it weren't for social media we might not be visible at all.</b></span><br />

Every year hundreds of pounds of flowers are cultivated, picked, and distilled, following secret traditions. For the first time, the artisanal techniques used to create the world’s most coveted perfumes are revealed.</span></span></div>

There are many how-to books on starting an enterprise, but often the best advice comes directly from those with actual experience. Thus came the idea for this book; this primer. Why not ask perfumers firsthand what they have experienced and what they recommend? With this concept in mind, we composed 34 key questions and asked them to 14 interesting artisans with experience in either perfume, skin care, or both. Their answers on creativity, branding and business are very frank and often personal, and written in a journal or diary style. The information in the resulting primer is worth its weight in gold." </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="color: #990000;"> </b>It took me the longest to express my feelings about a fragrance collection that I truly love. For the first time, I was lost for words. I know its beautiful, creative and even sensual but what about worldly. How do I describe worldly when describing a fragrance collection built on the poetry and words of a master writer who leaves behind a quest for us to continue unifying and bridging gaps in a world that can be so divided.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I must say the first time I saw a photo of <b>Parfums Dusita</b> founder and perfumer,<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <span style="font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.8px;">Pissara 'Ploi' Umavijan, I thought how beautiful she is but also how inviting she comes across in her photos. I continue to read about Pissara and her career as an actress and the best part she is a perfumer!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"> Without hesitation I contacted Pissara and within a week or so, I received a beautiful collection of samples that spoke to my soul as I could smell the scents through the outer packaging.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"> I loves fragrances that tell a story and I was immediately inspired by the culture and heritage of two worlds (Thailand and France) into a stream of scents.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"> The packaging was so well tailored and it neatly sat in a box like a gift from Tiffany & Co. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"> I got a chance to explore the world of Parfums Dusita and from that moment I still have not returned back to Earth.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"> The Golden Heart as I refer to Parfums Dusita is the warm and inviting notes for the <i>Heart f</i>ragrance category for each fragrance. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"> I love the heart note description for <b>Melodie De L' Amour Parfum</b>. Its a "creamy poetic Peach". Not just any peach but a peach with movement and passion. I love that!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">Melodie De L' Amour is the floral in the collection. I love how it lingers on my skin for hours and it gives a drydown like a sweet piece of flesh that is bound by a floral garden.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">It's the harmony it plays with the heady scent of Gardenia that leaves me speechless. Not too overwhelming or overpowering. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">Melodie De L' Amour is the answer to ultimate seduction!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">If you are seeking independence from something or someone, than<b> Issara Parfum</b> is your match made in Heaven.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">The fragrance is dedicated to the Fougere (fern). My first encounter with a fragrance that consisted of fern was in a men's scent but spare the thought. Issara is not a dark or woody scent known to men fragrances.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">That notion is in the past. Issara gives a lively and a fresh feeling to Fougere and it can be shared by male and female.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">My first impose was to smell the scent right away after I sprayed it on. But after I let it linger awhile, I felt the scent of a lush green garden. A bit of a moist undertone...after a morning rain. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">The heart note states it has a "rousing Coumarin accord" which is common in a Fourgere fragrance. That is why I got that lush green garden sensation. Nice and mild.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">I traveled the world with Parfums Dusita. I lived the best of both worlds. This is a unique combination. Most scents with a dual heritage will give one or the other. Not, Parfums Dusita. You got a cultural experience in every spray. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">Pissara's late father, Dr. Montri Umavijani (1941-2006) was considred Thailand's leading modern poet. He set the tone years ago before Parfums Dusita was born. In fact in my estimation he created the first ingredient in the making of a great perfume. In this case a great perfume called, Parfums Dusita.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">I experienced a wealth of knowledge in every drop with warmth, love, sensuality, compassion and freedom with a poetic destiny that will never end.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.8px;">To have a <b><span style="color: #bf9000;">GOLDEN</span> </b>Heart, you have to start with a generous woman to have created such a collection that generates a stir of excitement and thank goodness Pissara listened to her father.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> This is a very special segment for <b>The International Perfume Foundation</b> Campaign that began on October 15, 2016 and last until November 15, 2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Each day there will be a new campaign topic on perfumes...natural perfumes to be exact. Today, the campaign topic has to do with advertisement and perfume.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Just because you see glossy pages advertising a fragrance in a national beauty magazine, does that mean that those ingredients are actually in the fragrance?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I would surely hope so. Are you really getting a natural rose scent or a camellia in a high priced fragrance at a upscale department store. I would surely hope so.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> If the marketing and advertising cost more than the creation of the fragrance, do you really think you are getting a scent that states the essence of violet, jasmine and vanilla?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> According to <b>The Vanilla Company</b> (article dated July 26, 2016)</span><br />

Many, many fragrance companies worldwide are opting for synthetic vanilla aroma because the cost of natural vanilla is very expensive due to the shortage.</span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Vanilla is the second most expensive spice with <i>Saffron</i> ranking as number ONE as the most expensive spice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So, what do you do? Do you go for the glossy advertisement in a national beauty magazine or do you purchase a natural fragrance from an artisan perfumery that promotes a beautiful scent that is also good for your body and the Earth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many natural perfumeries that offer the best and they are sharing it with all of us. No, there will be no glossy advertisement for a small natural perfumery in a national beauty magazine due to cost. However, I would rather have a perfume that I know what ingredients are in it, then paying for synthetics. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you agree, then I suggest you join a <b>MOVEMENT</b> that supports natural perfumes and the natural perfumers who create them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's The International Perfume Foundation. I am associated with this great organization and I hope you will join us in Campaign 2016! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let your voice me heard along with many others in the fragrance industry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's very simple to join and let's support companies who want to share the beauty of the <i>ART OF PERFUMERY </i>the correct way.</span><br />

Happiness differs from person to person and each person has a different definition of it. We feel people who wear a Dusita will enjoy a sense of well being and happiness that is entirely individual and personal. We create French perfumes with oriental inspiration. We bring an eclectic mix of cultural philosophies – the best from different parts of the world. We are inspired by people who travel and know the world and who in turn are inspired by the cultures they have come to know. We are not afraid to be different. </span></b></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></span></b>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> </span>Greetings!<br />
It has been a few months since I have written a review or article. I apologize for that. Since doing research and writing a book on fragrance for a <b>VERY</b> popular scent that has taken much of my time. Also being a wife and mother of two very active children is a blessing but it also drains my energy.<br />
<br />
Lastly, if you haven't heard. I have been appointed US Executive Ambassador for <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The International Perfume Foundation</span> (<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">IPF</span>). This is wonderful and very important extension to being a publisher for the fragrance industry.<br />
<br />
The International Perfume Foundation was founded over 20 years ago by the talented and very passionate Ms. Creezy Courtoy who is also the Chairman. Mostly recently, I have had meetings with Creezy and Mr. Terry Johnson who is the Vice-Chairman of The International Perfume Foundation and he is President of Horticultural Marketing Resources. These discussions are exciting and very important to our advocacy for the natural perfume industry in a<span style="color: #990000;"> <b>NEW ERA</b></span>!<br />
<br />
We feel it is necessary to wear natural perfumes for health reasons and we find that the natural perfume industry is growing due to consumers wanting more benefits for their money.<br />
<br />
Its great to spend time and a certain amount of money having gorgeous packaging.But if the bulk of money is spent on advertising for television, radio and magazine ads. Then what money s left to produce a quality fragrance. It should be a fragrance that is <b>GOOD FOR THE EARTH AND LITERALLY GOOD FOR THE PERSON WEARING IT.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I know everyone has a preference. There are people for whatever reason do not prefer a 100% all natural perfume. That is okay. We will not take away your freedom and respect your position. <br />
<br />
IPF are advocates only for natural perfumers and organizations who support products that are pure and natural.<br />
<br />
Are you a natural perfumer? Are you an organization that promotes and purchase natural perfumes for your retail store or boutique?<br />
<br />
If this is <b>YOU</b>, then you should join the International Perfume Foundation and be a part of a growing movement to promote natural perfumery and help this market grow so that we can help one another.<br />
<br />
Do you grow flowers? Do you grow raw material/ingredients? We need you. Please join us.<br />
<br />
Are you in the media? Do own a magazine outlet, television station or a radio station? Are you a blogger/writer who loves natural products and want to be behind a growing movement?<br />
<br />

We need all of <b>YOU</b>!!!<br />
<br />
Reach out to us and let us know that you are interested. We would<b> LOVE</b> to hear from you!<br />
<br />
My job is to engage with natural perfumers and organizations worldwide who are involved in the development of natural perfumery. Yes my title says US Executive Ambassador because I live in the US but it does not <b>LIMIT </b>from knowing who you are!<br />
<br />
There is a very <b>IMPORTANT</b> cause and work we are doing for the continuing development of natural perfumers. We have formed the <span style="color: #990000;"><b> INTERNATIONAL PERFUME FOUNDATION </b></span><br />

The staff at the Christian Dior counter in Neiman-Marcus Chicago were beaming with excitement when I wanted to try and purchase <b><i>Grand Bal</i>.</b> They couldn't stop talking about how breathtaking the scent is and how Christian Dior's ball gowns were the inspiration for the fragrance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Grand Bal is a jasmine fragrance but not just using a single note. I was transformed into an oasis of jasmine and citrus scents with a hint of sandalwood to keep it mysterious.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> This particular fragrance captured me recently because I have been using a wonderful facial product by Forest Essentials founded in India. One of the ingredients used in this facial product is <i>saffron.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Saffron is the world's most expensive spice and it is virtually used in many spicy and tasty dishes found in India. So, when I discovered Royal Saffron Parfum by Bella Bellissima, I knew I had to try it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Royal Saffron is created for women and men and it features delicate, dark and spicy notes that I found quite intriguing. As with the facial product I use by Forest Essentials, I found that the saffron is the most outstanding scent that leaves a nutty and earthy scent to my skin. Royal Saffron leaves the same kind of drydown but it would include a flowery essence with the hint of the dark notes from the patchouli, sandalwood and agarwood, better know as oud.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The name says it all. I actually felt quite regal and just a dab will last a long time. On me it lasted for six hours. I am in love with Oriental spicy fragrances because it makes me feel bold, secure and unstoppable.</span><br />

<b style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;"> </b> <span style="font-size: large;">British niche perfumery Floris of London welcomes romance with a new fragrance launched just in time for <span style="color: #cc0000;">Valentine's Day</span>. Its called <i>A Rose <span style="background-color: white;">For</span></i><span style="background-color: white;">...</span> who do you ask? Well that is up to you but A Rose For... is given to you with all the hype of a romantic day in this Oriental rose scent that is composed for women and men.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> A Rose For... is not just for Valentine's Day but for any special occasion. However what makes this fragrance so unique is not just the scent but how you are actively involved in the presentation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here is a quote from the House of Floris that will tell you exactly how it works!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <i> </i><span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;"><i><span style="color: #990000;"><b>*To provide the name you'd like written on the bottle, please add a gift message at the "Gift Options" stage of the checkout with the name written in the gift message. We can only accommodate first names, i.e. A Rose for Emily.</b></span></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b><i> A</i><span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;"><i>Rose for… is unique to the possessor, signifying the personal attachment to scent. Defined by no-one, it is truly for you."</i></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;"><i><br /></i></span></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;">According to the House of Floris, Edward Bodenham perfumer for A Rose For visited Morocco in 2015. He was intrigued by how the rose could interpret and identify its natural origin. So he studied this characteristic in the rose and A Rose For...was born.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: openb; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Bodenham beautifully depicted the rose in this fragrance by giving it a warmth that is altogether different with an taste of elegance all its own.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b> <span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: large;">I feel over the hill with the first and original fragrance, Lolita Lempicka Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. It was the gourmand Oriental Floral wrapped together that gave an essence of beauty that words could not explain. It was this fragrance that caught my then fiance's attention. Since that day on our anniversary now almost 16 years that I wear it (if I can save some for the next year). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Lolita Lempicka is a fashion designer and perfume creator born in 1954 in Bordeaux, France. Lolita admired her mother who was a seamstress and as they say the rest is history.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> As I was doing research several months ago, I discovered that Lolita Lempicka was going to launch a new fragrance. Yes, I was more than excited and I had to find out what it was going to be. The name of the fragrance is one simple word but not for a simple fragrance. It's called, "Sweet". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This time Lolita Lempicka<i> really </i>took the bite out of the apple with another successful scent that surely take my breath away!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Sweet Eau de Parfum is the new scent that will transform the way we look at the cherry. It is a scent that is steeped in cherry and a cocoa assemble that is mouth watering from the first note.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> It is composed by award-winning perfumer Anne Flipo. Who is known for creating spellbinding scents that have become cult classics. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Let me put it mildly, Sweet is cherry dipped in chocolate that will leave you licking your fingers like scraping the bowl to get the last drop of icing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I contacted the Lolita Lempicka company to find out when I could get my hands on a sample, bottle or anything! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> But before I tell you where, I need to tell you more about Sweet Eau de Parfum. The packaging is simply and truly is in the eye of the beholder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> It starts with a red box decadent to the Lolita Lempicka logo and the gem is inside the box. Take out the bottle and you get an apple shaped curvy, glossy and delicious looking. It is a bold red with golden outlines and the shiny stem of the apple is the sprayer that is a work of art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first thought in my mind is that I will never look an apple the same way. To me it was a message of power and motivation as it sat glistening awaiting the first forbidden bite. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I get excited about fragrances all the time. Regardless if it is a classic or the latest artisan creation but it is something about Sweet Eau de Parfum that transformed the life of the fragrance industry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Now, you ask what is it made with. Glad you asked. The top note is <i>cherr</i>y, the heart notes are<i> iris, cocoa absolute</i> and <i>Angelica</i> and the base concludes with <i>musk</i> and <i>cashmeran</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The tip of the iceberg is that Lolita Lempicka did not miss a beat when it was launched because during a limited time, Sweet Eau de Parfum (50 ml) and a spray bottle (7 ml) is available at <b>www.nocibe.fr</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is a French beauty website that can be translated into English. This exclusive collection only found on nocibe,fr comes with a very cute box that resembles a mail slot and it is elegantly called "Lolita Lempicka Sweet Words box Valentine". </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is available as a 30 ml in the US.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Eau de Parfum chose the lovely actress and model, Elle Fanning to be the spokesperson for this scent and I think she is the perfect choice. Sweet is a young and vibrant fragrance but it can be enjoyed by every woman at any age. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cafe' Rose by fashion designer extraordinaire Tom Ford is a Chypre floral fragrance for women and men. In translation Cafe' Rose means "coffee rose" but I prefer the French definition of cafe'. It sounds a lot more sophisticated and France is the world's perfume capitol.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cafe' Rose is the darkest of the Tom Ford <i>Jardin Noir Collection</i>. It is richly composed of Chypre that is a scent/accord between fresh, citrus notes and deep woody or mossy tones. Composed as a rich, velvety and boozy aroma the three divinely induced roses of Turkish, Bulgarian and May rose that gives a new twist to the average rose scent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom Ford's entire perfume collection is far from ordinary and Cafe' Rose is exceptional due to its long lasting endurance over several hours (seven to be exact) and the woody and spicy drydown scent that provides a beautiful layer on the skin that women and men enjoy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cafe' Rose is part of the Tom Ford <i>Private Collection</i>. So that means Mr. Ford made sure that every elaborate detail from ingredients to packaging is the upmost best! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The luxurious purple label on the amber bottle gives it a very prestigious look that can only be branded by the Tom Ford enterprises. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cafe' Rose Eau de Parfum was created by perfumer, Antoine Lie and made in the USA. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have added Cafe' Rose on my <b>BEST LIST</b> for rose scents and the perfect gift for <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Valentine's Day</b></span>!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Royal Princess Oud</b> by The House of Creed is inspired by over twenty volumes of sketch books revealing a time when the Creeds were devoted to men and women's tailoring in London. To be exact, the fashion sketches were by Henry Creed II. A leading couturier at that time, Creed designed sketches for fashionable socialites. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Royal Princess Oud is a floral scent infused with the decadent of The Millesime 1849 oud floral fragrance that was created by Olivier Creed (sixth generation) for men and women in 2013.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mr. Olivier Creed beautifully tied in The Millesime 1849 fragrance with the tempting and seductive scent of floral to combine and give homage to the sketches of clothing for women and men born from a century of family history.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Royal Princess Oud is heady and dark but lively and refreshing with a youthful ambiance for the modern lady.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Its a wonderful Oriental Floral fragrance that breathes the intoxication of the signature blend that the Creed family have composed since its inception as a perfumery in 1760. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Oud Millesime also composed by Olivier Creed and launched in 2011. It provides a note of Oud, rare and expensive that denotes a splendor of a woody sweet scent.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Royal Princess Oud is by far my most favorite of the Oud scents by The House of Creed. It consist of <b>Top Notes</b>: </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bergamot, Rose, Violet</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This fragrance can be conveniently purchase in three sizes, however due to the nature of its jewel, the "Oud". It does come at a very steep price.</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">If you haven't been on a vacation yet this summer, maybe I have the perfect solution on where to go. Recently I met two ladies from Barbados who told me about an incredible fruit that is produced in Barbados. In fact, it is a cherry known as the 'Barbados Cherry' that is one of the richest of all fruits with its potent content of Vitamin C.<br />
<br />
I was curious to see what a Barbados cherry looks like. So, I went online and what popped up was a fragrance by Demeter Fragrance Library known as <strong>Barbados Cherry</strong>.<br />
<br />
The Barbados cherry is a soft, delicate and juicy fruit that starts out as a colorful shrub with small pink and white flowers, <br />
<br />
It grows in full bloom in spring, late summer and fall. <br />
<br />
Barbados Cherry by Demeter captured the essence of this beautiful fruit with a sweet and tart aroma that stays on for more than six hours!<br />
<br />
Demeter Fragrances Library scents which is an enormous collection are natural and Barbados Cherry is a sweet scent that represents the country of Barbados beautifully.<br />
<br />
So, why not considered a fragrance from a tropical island like <strong>Barbados Cherry Eau de Cologne Spray</strong> from Demeter. It gives the ultimate escape into blissfulness. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span><span style="color: black;">I discovered a natural perfume while doing research on the internet. I was struck by one of the ingredients listed and that was "dark vanilla". I am totally in love with the scent of vanilla on so many levels but "dark vanilla" peaked my interest, so I wanted to know more.</span><br />
<br />
<strong>KIORI PERFUME OIL</strong> is the name of it and as I read more, it was founded by Lisa Wallos and her brother, David Cantor. It was such a pleasure for me to have a brief conversation with Lisa via email about our connection with ballet. You see, Lisa studied classical ballet at the School of American Ballet in New York City. <br />
<br />
The birth of <strong>KIORI NATURAL PERFUME OIL</strong> became a reality when Lisa saw the prima ballerina in the troop applying fragrances of their own. <br />
<br />
I studied ballet at Boitsov Classical Ballet in Chicago when I was much older but the passion of this beautiful art still stays with me. It truly becomes a beautiful performance when the cast is dressed in costume. I remember particularly loving 'character dancing'. It was a time I could express myself a little more and be free to wear makeup and fragrances that coincided with the costume I was wearing.<br />
<br />
Lisa gladly accepted my request for a sample of KIORI. While waiting to receive my sample, I began to imagine what could the scent of KIORI represent. <br />
<br />
To me, I thought of light and airy with a hint of spicy oriental vanilla or maybe a powdery mixture of white floral that reminds of me of the world famous romantic ballet- Swan Lake. <br />

<br />
Shortly thereafter, I received my package. First of all, I must say the packaging is absolutely beautiful. I got a chic and elegant box that slides open from one end to reveal a satin material inside which is perfectly layered on the box that reveals an opening to see the bottle of KIORI.<br />
<br />
Lisa was too nice to me. All I wanted was the 1/2 sample vial but instead I got the 1/8 ounce. Inside the box is an pretty silk fuchsia colored ribbon.When gently pulled up helps release the bottle for easy access.<br />
<br />
The 1/4 ounce and 1/8 ounce bottles are in the form of a roll-on and when I put it on my wrist, I immediately didn't think of a ballet but more of a gala!<br />
<br />
KIORI is the perfect fragrance to wear to The Met Gala. The extravagant annual fundraising gala that benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York.<br />
<br />
I took another sniff and I said, "Bravo!" KIORI NATURAL PERFUME OIL is captivating and it is created with so much depth. Its showered with blossoms with a sweet and engaging scent that will sweep you off your feet.<br />
<br />
I love the undertones of dark vanilla and patchouli that commend attention and that is needed in a performance.<br />
<br />
KIORI is a beautiful asset to the gorgeous gowns worn by the celebrities at the Met Gala. I immediately thought of singer, Rihanna with her choice of costume for The Met Gala 2015. <br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Rihanna's costume was described as imperial yellow, fur trimmed cape and it was created by Guo Pei who refers to the costume as "Chinese Couture". <br />
<br />
KIORI would accompany Rihanna's costume so perfectly due to its soft Oriental aroma. By the way I only rolled my wrist with KIORI once and it lasted until the next morning.<br />
<br />
Usually a natural fragrance will not last as long but KIORI defies the norm because a little goes a long ways. KIORI allows you to savor the moment, be free and to enjoy being a woman. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A scent may capture a thousand stories or invoke a myriad memories, but for their latest and most <a href="http://store.harrods.com/beauty/perfume-exclusives">exclusive collection for Harrods</a>, <a href="http://store.harrods.com/brand/annick-goutal/womens-perfumery?viewall=yes">Annick Goutal</a> has just one story at its heart. Paying homage to the purity and singularity of each precious hero ingredient, the Amber, the Vanilla bean, the Oud wood, <strong>Les Absolus</strong> is a trilogy of stunning Oriental scents, each weaving their own scentscape for the wearer.<br />
<br />
<div class="p2">
For perfumers Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen, the hypnotic pull from these ingredients started with the humble Vanilla bean as reimagined in Vanille Charnelle. Picturing a milky bath infused with Vanilla beans, they took it in its natural form, earthy and woody, far removed from its over-sweetened synthetic counterpart, adding a twist of pepper to pique at its mystery, ylang-ylang for its opulence, then teasing in hints of tonka bean, vetiver and white musk. It's Vanilla - but not as we know it. </div>
<div class="p2">
</div>
<div class="p2">
Enhancing the allure of the collection, comes the Ambre Sauvage. Harvested from the imagination of the perfumers, Amber as a note exists only in dreams, unable to produce an aroma in raw form. One of the most interpreted scents in the history of perfumery, sensual incarnations of resin and patchouli are its heart giving an often aphrodisiac effect. Putting their own spin on the note, the perfumers create pure alchemy with a heady synergy of pink peppercorns, Iris and styrax - its many contrasts unravelling exquisitely with the warmth from the skin.</div>
<div class="p2">
</div>
<div class="p2">
And, no collection would be complete without a smouldering Oud. Taking inspiration from the fabled<em> </em><em><strong>One Thousand And One Nights</strong> </em>comes 1001 Ouds - a modern interpretation of the ancient traditions and rituals of the wood. Harmoniously weaving in exotic notes of rose, papyrus and myrrh, it’s at once mesmerizing, lingering on into the night.</div>

<em><span style="color: #444444;">A harmony of rose, papyrus, and myrrh infuses the wearer from head to toe. Oud is present in all of its authenticity, beating like a heart at the core of this fragrance. It fuses with the rose, is rounded out by the gaiac wood, vaporises with a touch of birch, and bites with a hint of pepper.</span></em></div>
