Gettin' Fresh
It's frustrating when you get something new and no one notices... it's even worse when you spend a lot of money acquiring that new thing, and then no one notices. That is why the recent 'What perfume are you wearing?' inquiries have been much appreciated... This post is entirely about sharing the wealth. Now, you ladies should appreciate the following, and you MEN, don't run off just yet -- good-gift-giving-info for the lady in your life coming right up!!
A good guy friend has been sharing some style 'Color Forecasting' for the fall with me. Last season, green was the new black. But according to Caleb (kudos to the 'metro men' in my life), it seems that this fall's biggest trend is going to be what the forecasters are calling "Urban Organic." While society leans more to implementing organic products into skin and health care regimen we're obviously in the digital age of technology, so there you have it... Natural organic in an urban chic world. (We've started seeing this especially in the jewel/earth tone color palettes, and peasant skirts and tops paired with gold jewelry and accessories (follow link then click "What's hot," then "Charlotte's closet"). This trend is also found in patterns containing paisleys and climbing vines).
Okay - all that to say, when I was in Las Vegas last fall I bought a scent from a store in the mall called Fresh. They're known for their Index brand scents. Basically, every scent is a combination of flower, herb, or fruit that was delicately formulated to compliment any other scent in the line. (And there's the organic connection for ya).
Perfumes layered together are typically known to clash, but these are different. I purchased Tangerine Lychee while I was there, and later picked up Bergamot Citrus at Sephora (who also carries the Fresh line) to sweeten it up a bit... And now I'm addicted. It's like creating your own little scent.
I would highly recommend the Index line to anyone. I'm told that some guys even wear the muskier scents. And for a unique, and slightly pricey gift, you can buy the Fragrance Chronicles - a book with all 15 unique scents. Incredible. I want one. Badly. (Shocker, I know).
So this was my product commercial for the year. I know you ladies appreciate the links and info... Guys, humor me. Just smile and nod. I'm keeping you hip. :)
*Interesting side note: I was in Vegas to promote the ZOEGirl mission trip and was shopping with the girls. They informed me that when they toured with Nichole Nordeman her signature scent was Pear Cassis. Check it out.
