Break the Perfume Rules
Break the Perfume Rules
With this new group of bold blends, it's time to buck tradition and wear fragrances in fun, unexpected ways.
Excerpts from a fragrance editorial, Break the Rules, in InStyle Magazine, March 2013 issue.
Spritz Against the Season
Spring is here -- but that doesn't mean you have to stick with light colognes or eau de grass. We love this sophisticated, heady bouquet of jasmine, tuberose, and spicy patchouli.
Valentino Valentina Assoluto
Eau de parfum -- $88 for 1.7oz -- chypre
Sport a Man's Scent
Forget labels and judge notes by how they smell on your skin. This Prada creation (with spearmint, sage, and soft lavender) leaves a clean, fresh aroma.
Prada Luna Rossa
Eau de toilette -- $82 for 3.4oz -- woody citrus
Wear Two at Once
Spray pulse points with one perfume, then another. Hint: Pairs that share common notes play well together (these Cavalli and Molton Brown juices feature sweet tiare flower).
Just Cavalli for Her
Eau de toilette -- $60 for 1.7oz -- floral
Molton Brown Mahina
Eau de parfum -- $110 for 1.7oz -- floral
Sleep On It
Consider misting your body with a subtle fragrance before bed, such as this understated vanilla-infused-sandalwood blend. Sweet dreams!
Guerlain Eau de Lingerie
Eau de toilette -- $98 for 4.2oz -- powdery floral
