GOLDEN HOUR
A timeless scent that sheds a light on the any subject
Honestly, I have not been such a great fan of the tuberose scent- in the classic form. It one of those scents as a young girl I smelled too many times worn by women who put too much on themselves.
In recent years my perspective on this scent has changed. It has changed because of several incredible fragrances made with this heady and creamy olfactory which has been blended with other notes that makes it unique and less heavy.
On New Years Eve 2013, I wore a new fragrance that represented a new light...a new day...a new year for me. GOLDEN HOUR EAU DE PARFUM by natural perfumer, Lisa Fong of ARTEMISIA NATURAL PERFUME is a tuberose scent and there is no doubt about that.
Its a dreamy scent for those who can appreciate a floral fragrance that stands out in a crowd but not overwhelming. I love this delicate flower with its thick white petals and that is how I pictured GOLDEN HOUR in my mind.
I wore it at night so I was breathing essence in the scent at the same time GOLDEN HOUR gave me long lasting scented vibes with billowing rich notes of a well crafted fragrance.
GOLDEN HOUR does consists one of my most favorite scents and that is vanilla. Its like a boozy vanilla that help transcribe the tuberose into a musical epic of a lively form.
I rang in the New Year with GOLDEN HOUR and I even made a few resolutions, too.
So far, my resolutions are coming to pass and now you know my New Years Day scent of 2014.

THE NATURAL SPAS
LUSH- Fresh Handmade Cosmetics are now in the United States with two spas. Yes!
The first is in New York and the second one is in Philadelphia.
Gosh such lucky states! These spas recently open in late 2013. These unique spas from LUSH offer several treatments with interior decorating using wild flowers, tea cups, old-fashioned books just to name a few.
LUSH staying true to their fresh handmade products offer the following treatments and custom music by Simon Emmerson.
Here are the names of the spa treatments as follows: Synaesthesia, The Comforter, The Spell, The Sound Bath, The Good Hour, Tailor Made and Validation.
Each spa location is equipped with folk music by Simon Emmerson and his band.
This to me is a true oasis with some of the finest naturally made products. This is the best of both worlds all snuggled in the United States for the very first time.
It is worth the travel and if anyone has already made an appointment and experienced a LUSH spa in either location, please contact me and let me know.

This interview which lasted for about 5-6 minutes covered my goals and ambitions about the niche fragrance industry and my aspirations as a budding author and my contributions to art and events concerning this industry.
I was a bit nervous ( I hope it didn't show in my voice) but truly grateful for this opportunity to share a bit of my busy life with all of you.

I would like to enter the Golden Hour Giveaway :-) I`m a lifelong fan of tuberose (Chloe!!!), so this sounds perfect! Linda may be reached at: hotlantalinda@hotmail.com
A glorious giveway! I really wish to enter it but I am not sure if I am eligible, because I'm an EU reader. Love Tuberose in her every reincarnation! I am pretty interested in natural perfumes and I would like to sniff how Ms Fong made Golden Hour! Can you compare it to Cepes&Tuberose - Aftelier perfumes? In FB I follow as L'eter (the FB page of my blog).
