My Fall Floral: Daisy Pop Art by Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs Limited-Edition Daisy Pop Art Eau de Parfum $88 - Bergdorf Goodman

In L.A. your status may be defined by the car you drive or who you know, but in New York it's all about where you live - Upper East Side, Soho, Lower East Side, Upper West Side, Tribeca...


Now, there's a scent that marries uptown chic with the cool independent vibe of the Lower East Side - Daisy by Marc Jacobs Pop Art Edition.

 

What's the scent? This fragrance opens with sweet, wild strawberries, has a heart of violet petals and closes with a blend of gardenia and jasmine. Birch and cedar wood scents give the fragrance a more intense sensual scent.

 

This fragrance is all about the bottle! The iconic Daisy bottle is artistic luxury and the cap "appears to bloom with daisies".

 

I happen to live in Union Square, which is a mix of NYC madness; it's a mosaic of new money, 30-somethings having their first child, cool skaters and artists. They make this neighborhood what it is. After living here for three years, I'm definitely a Daisy girl.

 

Daisy Pop Art Limited Edition: $88


*Please note: I did not receive an editorial sample in order to review this fragrance, I just so happen to really love it!

Have You Smelled Sex in the City? Get a Whiff of SJP NYC!

Sarah Jessica parker SJP NYC Gift Set $54 - Lord & Taylor

I've always been a fan of Sex and the City - the never-ending girl talk, the over-the-top designer dreamwear and the glam, glam, glam! So, when the show left the airwaves, I was stuck with nothing but re-runs. Then there was Sex and the City the movie. Would you get back with Mr. Big if he left you at the alter? Discuss amoungst yourselves...


Now, Sarah Jessica Parker brings fragrance and fashion together with a tribute to the Manhattan girl next door who you can't help loving, Ms. Carrie Bradshaw.

 

This deliciously fruity floral scent opens with Italian Mandarin, Wild Red Strawberry and White Osmanthus. The heart of the fragrance merges Gardenia, Honeysuckle, Mimosa and Red Rose Damascenia, and closes with Sabdalwood, Vanilla Absolut, Rum Flavor and Creamy Musks. WOW!

 

"I wanted to create a fragrance with a great sense of fun and whimsy," says SJP.

 

The packaging is just as playful as the fragrance itself. It gives you a glimpse into Carrie's closet, bursting with vibrant colors and patterns. The marriage of the fragrance and packaging gives the public the essence of Carrie - the outrageous, fun-loving girl friend we all aspire to be.

 

Are you a SJP NYC girl?

Dying to Smell Like...Demeter Dirt!

By TheGlamtastic · December 8, 2009 · 1 Comment ·
Demeter 1 oz Cologne Spray - $20 - http://www.demeterfragrance.com/

The Demeter Fragrance Line is giving you the chance to experiment and embrace any scent you'd like and take those fabulous fragrances with you whether you're headed for Christmas in Spain or New Year's Eve in New York. My fragrance of choice is traditionally an oriental floral,  what are known to some as warm and inviting winter scents. This year, my just-can't-live-without-it scent is Dirt. Quite a change, I know!

Perhaps it's because I live in Manhattan, where my only access to a well groomed garden is Central Park, but the moment I smelled the scent Dirt I fell in love. The minute I sprayed this light scent into the air above my desk, I was no longer in an-oh-so-bare white cubicle overlooking a parking lot. I was transported into the Berkshires, with sun, tall grass and my feet in the dirt. Just a work fantasy I know, but a good one!

Whether you're stuck in the snow this holiday season or off on a family holiday, take your favorite scent with you!

Each Demeter fragrance comes with a 100% money back guarantee if you're not a fan of the scent you select, love that!

With over 200 scent formulations, ranging from Frozen Margarita to Fireplace, you can find a fab fragrance for everyone on your holiday list and a few for yourself too!

What is your must-have holiday fragrance? Tell us about it!

Marc Jacobs Lola To Go $48 - Sephora
In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon Limited Edition Parfum $59 - Avon
Gucci Fragrance Flora by Gucci Eau de Toilette, 1.6 ounces $65 - Bergdorf Goodman
What's your favorite winter fragrance? This season, we challenge you to experiment with a new scent, perhaps one that provides a spicy floral scent or a warm fragrance with citrus and charm.
Here are some of our favorites...


Gucci Flora
This subtle, sophisticated and sexy floral scent will keep you warm during the frigid winter nights! The scent, inspired by the Flora Donna, is perfect for any Gucci girl or elegant woman of the house. The fragrance is composed of top notes including citrus and peony. The heart is made up of rose and osmanthus flower, and the base is a rich recipe of pink pepper and sandalwood. After just one spritz, you won't be able to stop yourself from smelling your sensual and sexy scented skin. This is the winter scent that I just can't live without!


In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon
Wish you had the stunning good looks and charm of starlet Reese Witherspoon? Now, you can enjoy her new floral oriental woodsy scent just before the snow hits! This delicate fragrance, created by Reese and the expert perfumers at Avon, opens with Georgia peach, tea leaves and crisp greens. The heart of the scent is a mixture of star gardenia, magnolia and jasmine. The scent closes with cashmere woods, hypnotic florals and amber wood crystals. It's a fragrance that gives off provocative, feminine notes and leaves the skin with just the right amount of sexy, sensual scent!


Marc Jacobs Lola
Marc Jacobs is an infamous character on the fashion, beauty and red carpet scene; he always leaves his mark! His new fragrance Lola also does just that!  This warm, floral bouquet is a free spirited scent for today's modern girl. The fragrance is playful, flirtatious and alluring. Love it! The scent opens with pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit. The heart shines with rose, fushia peony and geranium, while Lola closes with lovely layers of vanilla, warm tonka bean and creamy musk to keep the fragrance oh-so-sensuous!
