Hundreds of fragrances were released in 2011 and it’s impossible to recall all of them , let alone test them. But I try. What follows is my take on the high points in the world of perfume.

BIGGEST LAUNCH: Like it or not, Justin Bieber Someday.  Fans snatched up bottles of his perfume like crazy. I haven’t heard word of a flanker (aka companion /new version) for it, but don’t be surprised if there is one. ($ 45 www.macys.com )

 
BEST OF THE YEAR:  Elie Saab. Exactly how a fragrance should be …

Gone are the days where you’d use those long elegant candles in candlesticks (although a bit of class now and then, a romantic dinner and some crystal couldn’t hurt, especially during holidays like Thanksgiving).
During the holidays, there are so many intoxicating smells: cinnamon, pine, chestnut, fig…it’s hard to pick one seasonal fragrance. But we’ve tried to narrow it down to what we felt is the best of the best in the candle department. Take a look, shop online or in person if you need to smell them, and enter our …

When we heard our blog was specially chosen by beauty guru Trish McEvoy to spread the word about, “The Power of Makeup,” we were ecstatic. I fell in love with the brand when I first encountered her highly targeted brushes and tools, and an exceptionally well-organized makeup organizer.
I’m glad to get to know the brand a bit better, step by step, in monthly batches. Today, I’d like to introduce you to some of her fragrances that were sent to me, and which occasions you may see fit to wear them.

Just when I think I can’t get enough of Kim Kardashian or her family, I receive an email that talks about her promoting her fragrances at Sephora, and this time in Dubai.

And in keep with all things Dubai, she was also peddling the gorgeous gold bottle that drips in opulence.

While I’m still recovering …

In the 1980’s almost everyone (including me) had a bottle of Tatiana, the heady floral perfume from Diane Von Furstenberg named for her young daughter.  In a welcome return to the fragrance world, and a couple decades later, DVF is back with a new scent, this time named after her: Diane.

Diane is fresh, light and very cleans smelling. It has a feel of soap and fresh linen with a sportiness thrown in. The main notes are said to be violet and frangipani, but to my nose there is a hint …

Our favorite South American stunner, Shakira launched S by Shakira Eau de Florale this month. This new S is a light floral scent with sweet succulent  hints of berries and musky vanilla. This  floral blend lasts a long time, leaving a nice top note of sweet berries. In short,  it is another side of Shakira that we’re glad to see — and sniff. It is her softer, more girly side bottled up for the world to keep. As a fan of  florals  and having tried it, I can confirm that two hours …
