Best-Selling Celebrity Fragrances

Ever since the first celebrities started making their way into the fragrance industry in the 1980s-90s, celebrity fragrances have constantly topped the charts of best-selling fragrances.

Unforgivable for Men by Sean John Sean Combs, musician and founder of the Sean John brand, began his career in the early 90s.

Bill Blass Nude ~ Perfume Review

Posted by  Angela For a perfume lover, discovering a terrific scent that has flown under many people's radar is exciting. The thrill amplifies when the perfume only costs about $10 a bottle. Now that my backup bottle is safely on its way, I'm ready to share my latest discovery: Bill Blass Nude. I first heard of Nude years ago when I read Laren Stover's The Bombshell Manual of Style's chapter on Bombshell perfumes. Most of the fragrances she lists are grand old perfumes, including the numbered Chanels, Guerlain Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleue, Rochas Femme, and Lanvin My Sin. Among these heavyweights is Nude, which the manual describes as "a striking floral composition" and creating "a mental state of near undress". Still, Bill Blass? Wrack my brain as I might, all I could call forth were images of conservatively dressed women of a certain age with small, groomed dogs. Not really the feel I'm going for. Then, foraging in a thrift sho...

What Makes A Perfume Great

“The art of fortunate proportions” is how Edmond Roudnitska described perfumery. According to the legendary perfumer, a good fragrance has balance and an original form, a simple idea that is far from easy to realize. Roudnitska spent his career creating fragrances that exemplify perfumery at its most artistic—Christian Dior Diorissimo, Eau Sauvage, Diorella, and Rochas Femme. His compositions have elegance and character, but one of the distinctive trademarks of Roudnitska’s style is balance. When I speak of balance in perfumery, I mean both the aesthetics and the technique. Consider Guerlain’s Chamade, one of the most perfectly balanced fragrances. From the bright green top notes to the rose and hyacinth heart and the velvety woody notes, the perfume unfolds like a silk scroll. Similarly modulated is Dior’s Diorissimo, where the musky and spicy notes balance out the floral and green accords. Still, balance alone is not the ultimate goal. “The fortunate proportions” in Ro...

7 Ways to Check If Your Perfume is Authentic!

In these millennial times, the beauty industry has now been known as a billion-dollar empire. Numerous brands of make-up, soaps, and even perfumes have been birthed worldwide and have emerged with each enticing claim. Given this competitive battlefield of brands and its blinding price tag attached to it, other makers made adaptations of these products and sold it at a relatively cheaper price. Some have different business schemes-- makers offer to refill your perfume bottles and assure you that it's the same as the original, or you customize your own scent, making sure that the base ingredient is authentic elemi oil or essential oil used in perfumes to help prolong its scent. It may sound great, but if you think about it, are you really getting the quality you were guaranteed with these imitations with the price you've paid for? Aside from knowing your go-to brand by name and specific scent, here are five ways to determine if your purchasing perfume is authentic. 1. Chec...

Ana Abiyedh Rouge - Eau De Parfum Spray (60 ml) by Lattafa

Ana Abiyedh Rouge : Exotic fruit in the company of creamy pear and citrus bergamot welcomes bitter almonds and saffron into its delectable embraces with a dry tone that is enhanced by a leather note. Let us enter and allow ourselves to be fascinated by the floral soundtrack, from which the jasmine chord, the fragrant geranium, and the roses in the background stand out. The cedar gives a mellow woody line to the flowers, along with a smooth scent of eastern spices, reflecting spicy cardamom, which is wrapped in a wonderful interplay of aromatic coriander and a little heated echo, fresh pepper. The perfume combines floral, woody, and fruity tones, which are accompanied by tones of deep nooks of sumptuous leather and earthy smoky veil of chypre-pointing vetiver, with a touch of darkness that is warmed by a honey wave of regal amber and a distant musk chord. https://perfumeshop.com.bd/shop/ana-abiyedh-rouge-lattafa/?feed_id=6335&_unique_id=63786f429ce57
