Bond No. 9 Will Donate 10% of “Scent of Peace” Sales To Haiti Relief

by Diana Ajih on January 20, 2010

It’s tough right now for the victims of the Haiti earthquake and we all want to lend a helping hand. The New York fragrance brand, Bond No. 9 wants to help by spreading the scent of peace to Haiti. For the next couple of weeks, Bond No. 9 is giving 10% of its Scent of Peace fragrance proceeds to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund. For those of you who haven’t donated or wants to donate more, this is another opportunity to help Haiti.

The Scent of Peace fragrance carries notes of bright florals and sweet citrus fruits blended with wood musk that’s packaged in a lilac frosted glass bottle with a lovely dove showcased in front. (The dove is the symbol of peace.)

Again, it’s a great way to help give relief to thousands of victims.

Sneak Peek of Kim Kardashians New Fragrance

If you’ve been watching Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kim mentions that she’s launching a fragrance that she has worked on for years. That was actually a pretty funny episode to see all the sisters fighting over the name of the fragrance. Anyway, her perfume will be available in February but you can get a sneak peak at Sephora.com and once it’s available for purchase, Sephora will notify you. That’s pretty cool. I love trying new scents!

Here’s more details about her fragrance:

The essence evokes Kim’s sultry style with crisp top notes, lush mid notes, and a sexy drydown. Gorgeous, voluptuous florals reflect her allure, while soft jasmine, tuberose, and gardenia mirror her femininity. Tonka bean, jacaranda wood, and sandalwood add a warm, sensual base.

Sneak Peek of Kim Kardashians New Fragrance

The Kim Kardashian Collection includes:

1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray ($35)

1.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray ($50)

3.4 oz Eau de Parfum Spray ($65)

.33 oz Eau de Parfum Rollerball ($16)

The fragance sounds divine and I love the design of the bottle!

Beauty Product Review: Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne Fragrance

by Diana Ajih on November 2, 2009

Beauty Product Review: Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne Fragrance

Yves Saint Laurent new Parisienne Fragrance is a light floral scent that’s refreshing and my nose couldn’t be happier. It’s my new daily scent and the compliments are overwhelming. Seriously. I can’t walk past my job without someone noticing the scent.

The perfume is sweet but not overpowering and it’s great for day or night use.

So what makes YSL Parisienne so remarkably delightful?

With notes of blackerry, rose, and sandalwood mixed in, who can resist the delicious sweet and floral scent of Parisienne. Let’s not forget about the jewel cut bottle. Absolutely stunning and stylish. It’s very heavy too. I accidentally dropped it on my foot the other day. My foot sure wasn’t happy.

YSL Parisienne is a great fragrance to wear this season so spritz away!

Benefit Cosmetics New Fragrance Collection: Crescent Row

Benefit is one of my go-to beauty companies that holds some of my favorite beauty must-haves. Benefit Cosmetics has now launched a trio fragrance collection called Crescent Row and I’m so excited to tell you about these wonderful fragrances.

The concept of Crescent Row was inspired by Benefit Cosmetics founders visit to Bath, England where they stumbled upon the Royal Crescent, a residential road of 30 homes laid out on a crescent. How neat!! To learn more about the concept behind Crescent Row, Amber from Beauty Blogging Junkie has done an official blog exclusive on the Benefit’s Crescent Row fragrances.

Crescent Row fragrance features three types, each with its own appealing scent!

Laugh With Me Lee- a light blend of citrus, jasmine, and lily blossoms

Her playful wink
and mischievous smile

the flirtatious side
of her innocent style

no thought or worry
of what’s meant to be

first laughter, then love
“…along came leelee”

Something about sofia- a dream of oriental blossoms, mango and vanilla

she lives in a dream
more dazzling than fiction

imaginary year real
she defies all prediction

an incredible girl
sofia draws you right in

to where the everyday ends
“and magic begins…”

My place or yours gina- an alluring affair of pink pepper, wild raspberry and patchouli

gina lives to seduce,
to tempt & flaunt

and knows you should always
get what you want

so sinfully sexy
her allure is unjust,

but as they say…
“all’s fair in love & lust.”

Each one has a distinct scent and I enjoy all three but my personal fav is Laugh with Me Leelee. Benefit Crescent Row fragrance collection is now available and retails for $ 36 each.
