New Fragrance: Angel Schlesser Pirouette

Dancers around the world, the time has come, there is finally a fragrance inspired by the world of ballet. Ballet looks beautiful, it's graceful, full of sophistication and simply put, it's pleasant to watch. However, if you've ever taken a class, you'll know it takes a lot of skill, technique, it's a lot of of hard work, dedication, and takes a massive amounth strength, physically and mentally. 

This fragrance, Pirouette, exemplifies just that, with notes including bergamot, black currant, plum, rose, freesia, iris, lily of the valley,  orchid, jasmine, cocoa beans, white musk, amber, cedar, vanilla, and patchouli.  Lots of sweet notes mixed with some spice, a perfect way to describe ballet dance, and most of all the dance term for a turn, pirouette.

Introducing The Goodsmellas: Male Fragrance Fanatics

Since you follow us on Twitter and read our blog posts, you're most likely a fragrance fanatic, yes? Well fanatics, can you beat the Goodsmellas, a group of males who are too, fragrance fanatics?

These NY guys are a group of serious perfume collectors who post online perfume reviews about their favorite (and not so favorite) scents. Before you go and judge a man by a scent, (which is a good judgement call, we think), The Goodsmellas have been said to only be able to wear their colognes and scents when they're home, because when they're on their day job, they just can't. So how does this make them a real fragrance fanatic? And what exactly is their day job?

The Goodsmellas consist of NYPD police officers, firefighters, and even work for the government.  Police officers by day and male fragrance fanatics by night, amazing. So why can't these guys wear it on the job?

 "If you're in uniform, wearing a bulletproof vest and the gear, you can get really hot. I've learned the hard way that you really need to wear something light. Otherwise I'll choke myself out, standing on a parade route baking in the sun in something heavy."

So go on ahead and take a peek at some hunky men talking about some amazing smelling cologne on their Youtube channel, and don't forget to embrace and enjoy that 'New Yawk' accent!

Abercrombie & Fitch to Sue Beyonce

How dare Beyonce not take into consideration Abercrombie & Fitch's Fierce fragrance when planning to create her Sasha Fierce perfume.  That's right, Abercrombie and Fitch is taking legal action with Beyonce for the 'fierce' title.

Last week, Beyonce anounced that she would be teaming up with fragrance maker COTY to create her own fragrance, named after her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, which is supposed to reflect her inner power.

Maybe it's us, tell us if you disagree, but Sasha Fierce seemingly has been more well known and around a lot longer than Abercrombie and Fitch's Fierce scent (whatever that may be) .

Do you think Abercrombie and Fitch will be able to stop the production and release of Beyonce's new fragrance?

Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding Scent

Since you already know how important we think it is to consider the right scent on your wedding day, we just had to share with you once we found out what Kate Middleton wore on her Royal Wedding day.  The wedding itself was probably the most talked about wedding of the century and hats off to the royal couple, Kate and Prince William for hitting their one year anniversary mark. 

While there was a ton of talk about her wedding dress, designers and bridal stores mimicking the look, we still can't get over the fact that she did her own wedding make up and now with good authority, know her wedding fragrance was in fact Illuminum's White Gardenia Petals.  The brand is British and holds exquisite fragrances, made up of the finest esseces and extracts.  No wonder she chose to wore a fragrance such as this on her special day. Would you wear Illuminum's White Gardenia Petals now that you know Kate Middleton wore it on her wedding day?

Trend to Try: Ombre Lips

Ombre has been a big part of the beauty industry lately, whether it be ombre hair, ombre nails, or the latest trend, ombre lips. Want to try the new 'it' trend of the season, grab a duo of lipsticks and let's begin.

  • First, start off with the lighter of the two lipsticks you have chosen to work with. Begin to apply the lightest color to the center of the lips.
  • Add the darker color to the edge of your lips
  • Use a lipstick brush to feather and blend the two colors together
  • Add another coat of the lighter lip over the first base application of the lightest color
  • Again feather the light color with a lip brush into the darker color to blend.

Not only is this a cool, and not to mention easy trend to try, but it also helps you achieve the effect of a filler lip!

Gap unveils its 1969 fragrance!

This season, the brand known most well for their 1969 classic denim jeans is rolling out its new 1969 fragrance collection, and we have a feeling that this collection will be as favorable as the classic must have denim. Sorry guys, the Gap is only catering to women with this scent, but the fragrance is perfect for that girl you know who loves a citrusy, floral, yet woodsy smelling scent.  It's girly, it's sweet, and it's available at Gap stores nationwide.  Would you wear a Gap fragrance?
