HOLIDAY FRAGRANCE WISH LIST PART I

Posted by Unknown 08 December, 2010

                    The Holiday Sparkle
                       Featuring Fabulous Holiday Fragrances
           
      The Holiday Fragrance list for 2010 was rather difficult to compile. There are many wonderful and lovely scents that establish what this time of the year should really mean. It is not all about the shopping, the glitzy office parties and the overtly expensive gifts that may be used only once or twice a year. 

    This list for 2010 is comprised of the true definition of the fragrance and the particular and intricate perfume notes that are used. Each of the perfumers created a fragrance that is timeless and classic. I hope you will agree that perhaps one or all of these fragrances should be on your Holiday list. 

    Dawn Spencer-Hurwitz, owner and perfumer of DSH Perfumes added yet another exquisiteHoliday fragrance to her collection.
  
Hanukah Cannelle Eau de Parfum was inspired by a favorite dish made of apples, cinnamon, nuts and honey. Ms. Hurwitz added her unique touch and delightful sparkle with the following notes...

   Top Notes: aldehydes, bergamot, bitter almond, galbanum and orange flower absolute

   Middle Notes: apples, cinnamon bark, jasmine and lily of the valley

   Base Notes: Atlas cedarwood, Australian sandalwood, butter co2, East Indian patchouli, honey, incense notes and labdanum

   Hanukah Cannelle Eau de Parfum is packed with notes that reminds us of family, good times, peace and joy!

Have you ever made a wish upon a star?  If your answer is yes, then you will know exactly what I am talking about when you here about Winter Star Eau de Parfum by niche perfumer, Michael Storer.

  It is apparent that Mr. Storer made a wish upon a star and his wish came true with a truly warm winter scent that goes far above the stars. Winter Star Eau de Parfum is a warm woody scent that smells of caramel. It is one of those fragrances that is totally irresistable and the reason for this is because it is a gourmand fragrance!
Winter Star Eau de Parfum contains the following... lavender, musk, carnation, French labdanum, oak moss, benzoin, tolu balsam, peru balsam, bergamot, civetta.
Winter Star Eau de Parfum can be enjoyed by men and women.

The glorious look at the first snow is like no other scene I know that everyone simply loves. I love to see the snow fall from the sky wet and cold and  suddenly a gentle snowflake softly lands on your eyelash and with a wink, it is gone.
It is not officially winter yet by the calendar but from the looks of it, Fall is swiftly fading away for yet another year. This describes the third, fragrance Winter Woods Eau de Parfum by Sonoma Scent Studio. The nose behind this fragrance is owner and perfumer, Laurie Erickson.
 Ms. Erickson apparently has been dreaming of a 'White Christmas' with the warmth of this spicy scent that simmers down to a soft aroma that reminds of a crackling fireplace late in the night.
Winter Woods Eau de Parfum contains the following... guaiac wood, cedar, sandalwood, birch, cade, oak moss absolute, castoreum, amber, vetiver and ambergris
If you want to snuggle under the warmth of blankets, drink hot chocolate and talk of Christmas memories of the past, then Winter Woods Eau de Parfum will help you capture those memories with the warmth of its scent.

The word "belles lettres" is a French phrase meaning "beautiful or "fine writing. Since this is a term to describe a category of writing, this will pertain to my passion about fragrances. I will review niche,natural, artisan and designer perfumes from all over the world. I write with passion but will use my journalistic skills that I obtained in college. Not only will I feature fragrances but I will feature new books on fragrances/perfumes, fragrance events and interview authors and perfumers.


I hope you take this journey with me and begin your own passion for the ART OF PERFUMERY!
