Fragrance Edit: Tiffany & Co. Eau de Parfum
Judging from the multitude of blue boxes in the above photo (of which there may actually be even more around here), it’s safe to say that I am a Tiffany & Co. fan, so I was naturally intrigued to learn if this bespoke fragrance would live up to my expectations … as well as this storied brand’s 180-year history. Basically, this scent is exactly what I imagined a luxury jewelry retailer would smell like, and I mean that in the very best possible way.
Christian Louboutin Beauté New Fragrance Sizes for 2017
Last year Christian Louboutin Beauté launched three fragrances (80 ml each) in what must surely be the most luxurious and exquisite packaging to date; in fact, you needed a key to release each bottle from its acrylic base. Utterly display-worthy to be sure, but not exactly portable. New for Fall 2017, the brand has just launched the same three perfumes but in more travel-friendly bottle sizes (30 ml each) … without skimping on any details. The stunning media box I was fortunate enough to receive, contains all three — but all are in fact available for individual sale. By the way, for those who like to plan early, note that Christmas is 9 weeks away …
Burberry · Blush Make-Up Collection
The latest addition to the My Burberry fragrance family is the new Blush version and as the perfect accompaniment, the brand has also released a capsule Blush Make-Up Collection. Shades of pink are one of the most flattering and uplifting colours you can wear along the face, providing a brightness that you just can’t get with other tints and while utterly girly, there’s enough earthy mauve touches here to keep things from spinning into frothy territory. Thank God.
GABRIELLE CHANEL
Gabrielle, is CHANEL’s first fragrance to be released in 15 years and it is heart-stoppingly beautiful. Brought to life by Olivier Polge, he was tasked by the brand to create a scent that embodied the very essence of Gabrielle Chanel — a woman who was equally fierce in her determination as well as passions, a woman unafraid to express herself at a time when such acts of defiance were practically forbidden, a woman who paved the way for so many who followed. This is Gabrielle.

Fragrance Edit: The Scent of Summer
When it comes to fragrances, my tastes tend to definitely run beachy; anything with vanilla, coconut, tiaré flower or a combination of all three, and I’m a goner. Personally, I like to wrap myself in Summeriness all year long and in honour of the season, I’ve rounded up a few of my faves to show you. Some are new, some I’ve gone through multiple bottles of, and a couple have even been pilfered from my daughter (good thing we like similar scents).
