20 Years Of Vera Wang

Has it been 20 years already, Vera? We can hardly believe it and it's probably because everything Wang creates is timeless. In honor of her 20th anniversary, Vera Wang has created a sensual, woody floral scent simply called Vera Wang Anniversary.

The lavender-hued perfume is poured into an elegant faceted bottle embellished with lavender petals and topped with a clear glass cap and platinum collar -- signature style elements that are synonymous with Vera Wang fragrances.

The fragrance has top notes of Sicilian bergamot, red apple leaves, mandarin oil and cool dew drops. The heart is a rich bouquet of white gardenia, rose absolute and orange flowers. And it dries down to silky musks, creamy orris, golden amber crystals, and warm cedarwood.

Elizabeth Arden To Make Taylor Swift Fragrance

Taylor Swift has just signed a deal with Elizabeth Arden to release her first fragrance in Autumn 2011. Swift claims to be a big fan of perfumes and plans to be thoroughly involved in the creation process.

Lately I've been experimenting with combining some of my favourite scents, so I'm really excited about working with Elizabeth Arden to develop my own unique fragrance,' said Swift. She says, 'I have always loved how fragrance can shape a memory the way certain scents remind you of events and people that are imprinted in your thoughts.

Only 47 Bottles Of Abeille D’Exception In The World

There are only 47 bottles of “Abeille D’Exception by Guerlain” (the bee of Guerlain) perfume in the world. The scent, created by head perfumer Thierry Wasser. The bee has been a symbol of Guerlain since founder Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain came to fame crafting perfumes for Empress Eugénie of France, who reigned reigned from 1853 to 1870; the bee was the emblem of France’s Second Empire. (It’s also fitting that both bees and perfumeries are closely associated with flowers.)

The handmade, individually numbered Baccarat crystal that holds the perfume is bee shaped—two large clear wings holding up a central flacon. It is a little pricey, of course—$19,232 US dollars, more expensive than in Paris, where the 245-milliliter bottle costs 12,500 euros (US$17,593). But what does it smell like? Guerlain rolls out a number of phrases: “green gust of air,” “a scent of grass, full of dense, rich sap,” and then the flowers “Mimosa, orange blossom, jasmine.”

Guerlain says the exclusive bee flacon, which can be displayed as art even after the perfume is gone, may attract buyers. The last time the company made an exclusive bottle like this was close to a century ago, with a turtle-shaped flask in 1914; a snail bottle was featured in 1902. And the perfume itself could last a lifetime; the bottle is eight times as large as the usual 30-milliliter portion for parfum at 240-milliliter.

Erwin Creed A Rarity In Todays Industry

In a market overrun with celebrity and spinoff fragrances, Erwin Creed is a rarity: As the future head of luxury brand Creed Perfumes, he's a seventh-generation perfumer. The 29-year-old first started sniffing scents at the age of 8. "Early on, my father would do 90 percent of the work, and I would experiment with maybe 10 percent," he says.

Today, Erwin helps develop new products and handpicks the company's natural ingredients, traveling around the world to meet with flower, spice, and fruit growers. Creed uses all natural ingredients, the quality of the ingredients depends on a lot of things: weather, the sun, the exposure, the country. We're very conscious about great quality. Erwin personaly goes every year to China, India, and Iceland to sample ingredients. Bergamot is the No. 1 ingredient put in perfume. Then there's mandarin, lemon, orange, roses, jasmine, pepper, and ginger. The best roses are from France.

Erwin is in New York this week — he'll be signing bottles and introducing the company's new Spice and Wood fragrance at Bergdorf Goodman tomorrow from 3 to 5 p.m. — before setting off on a two-week trip through the U.S. and Asia. Erwin Creed isn't looking to expand. "Some people think Creed is a big brand, but it will remain a small, prestigious brand," Erwin says. "I don't want to be in the mass market.

Top Fragrances for Georgian Women - Marc Jacobs Daisies and Narciso Rodriguez For Her

According to the Georgian women interviewed, Narciso Rodriguez For Her and Marc Jacobs Daisies are their favourite fragrances of the whole season. Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Kenzo and Burberry perfumes also appeared to be some of their favourite perfume producing brands.

“I adore Narciso Rodriguez’ new scent. I think it’s the best perfume that has ever been made. I don’t actually like the sweeter perfumes, and Narciso Rodriguez has a bit of a cool and more attractive smell for me. A few years ago I was a loyal customer of Chanel Chance but For Her has now replaced this perfume for me,” said Anna Dumbadze, 24.

“If I had the chance and could afford it I would definitely buy an expensive fragrance as I think that perfume is one of the main determiners of a person’s taste. At the moment I think that Mark Jacobs Daisies is the best fragrance for me. However many of my friends are fans of Narciso Rodriguez’ perfumes,” said Tea Shamatava, 25.

“I am mad about Kenzo perfumes. As soon as I finish one bottle I rush to the perfume store to buy another. Gucci Flower is another one of my favourites. I think that perfumes in Georgia have slightly inflated prices so I always prefer to buy perfumes abroad rather than here in Tbilisi ,” said Eka Gogua, 30.

As representatives of Ici Paris say, the top fragrances for men at the moment are: Burberry Sport, Hermes Terre D’Hermes, and Cartier.

“For women the Chanel fragrance Bleu de Chanel and Narciso Rodriguez are the leader out of women fragrance sales. Mark Jacobs’ Daisies, Chloe’s Chloe, Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle and Bvlgari Jasmin Noir are also among the leading fragrances with Georgian women at the moment,” said Khatia Shamugia, PR Manager of Ici Paris.
“I think that there is quite a big difference between Georgian and European perfume demands. Europeans mostly prefer sweeter scents whereas Georgian women are in general more interested in cooler ones. Of course there are some world famous brands which are as popular with Georgians as they are with foreigners, but generally the demand for fragrance brands differs quite significantly between European and Georgian consumers,” said Shamugia.

As opposed to the current trends in Georgia, according to Elle magazine, the top fragrances of 2010 are: Havana Vanille by L’Artisan Parfumeur; Coco Monoi by Thymes; Manoumalia by Les Nez; Nina by Nina Ricci; Vanille West Indies by Ligne St. Barth; Cutting Garden by Royal Apothic; The Beat by Burberry; Ritual de Bengalore by Cinq Mondes Pluie d’Aromes; Sugar Lychee by Fresh; 212 Sexy by Carolina Herrera; Velvet Rope by Apothia.
