HEY GIRLS!! Whew! It’s been awhile!!!!
I’m happy to be back and to tell y’all that Tom Ford is back with a new fragrance…Tom Ford White Patchouli. To anniversary his dark and sexy Black Orchid, Tom Ford opted for something on the lighter side. White Patchouli is a blend of patchouli (of course) and white florals; such as peony, bergamont, and jasmine. The scent also includes notes of rose, coriander, and ambrette seed, which add a little spice. Not only is the ad for White Patchouli a breath of fresh air in black and white, but it also features the lovely Miss Erykah Badu! The scent is currently available for pre-order at Neiman Marcus, but will make its official, country-wide debut in September. Can’t wait!!!

Hola Chicas!
So, I just got back from a 5 day Mexican vacation, and I have to say it was hands down one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. The water was beautiful, the sun was hot as hell, and I smelled delicious thanks to my friend Tracy, who hooked me up with a couple of bottles of Missoni’s new fragrance, ACQUA. Last summer I was all about the floraly, jasminey scents, but this summer I’m loving the more citrusy aromas. Acqua is a light and clean fragrance that was inspired by the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. With fresh notes of grapefruit, bergamont, melon, and hints of florals, this fragrance maintained it’s freshness and wore through the hot and humid days. I even got a few compliments from some hot compadres;-) Overall, I love this scent!

Hey girls,
This fall Juicy Couture is introducing it’s newest fragrance-Viva La Juicy. Housed in a similar square-shaped bottle as the original fragrance (the only difference is that the new one is deco’d with a bright pink bow and comes in a matching pink box), the scent is a gourmand with notes of gardenia, caramel, and praline. I loved the first scent, so I’m sure this one will smell just as good. If not better.

Hey girls, This September Gwen Stefani is launching 5 new fragrances, inspired by her Harajuku girls/back-up singers- Love, Angel, Music, Baby and “G”, which of course stands for Gwen. The fragrance will be housed in a bottle which will sit on a glass base and be covered with a removable doll, custom designed to look exactly like each Harajuku Girl. The fragrances’ scents were developed to reflect each girls personality and style. These bottles look so cute!! I’m really excited about this one! I can’t wait to smell the fragrances and purchase the whole set to add to my fragrance collection! *xoxo* Update courtesy of WWD.

Diddy is not the only mogul that’s growing his fragrance collection…Ms. Kimora is doing it for the ladies with her latest addition…FABULOSITY. The new fragrance is packaged in a diamond shaped bottle (what else??), inspired by the former model’s love of faux, oversized diamonds. Like the rest of the Baby Phat brand, Fabulosity represents urban fashion with glitz. The scent is a fruity oriental, made with notes of juicy plum, orange blossom, Chinese Osmanthus, coconut milk (which seems to be a popular scent this season), and purple violet. Fabulosity will be available this month in department stores.I personally wasn’t a fan of the previous two fragrances (Goddess, and Golden Goddess), but I never knock anything till I try it. I’d love to hear what you think of it… ghetto fabulous or hot ghetto mess? *kisses*

Hey ladies,
So, Diddy has done it yet again with the launch of his latest fragrance- Unforgivable Black. Slated to launch this month, there will be a men’s and a women’s version of this collector’s edition fragrance. Black is positioned as a rich, opulent, more seductive sister to the original Unforgivable scent. The men’s version is described as a “seductive wood”, which includes hints of lemon, bergamont, tangerine, grapefruit, and champagne accord of course. The women’s is more of a gourmand (edible) scent, with hints of pina colada, jasmine, ylang-ylang, coconut milk, pineapple, and a long list of other delicious smells. Both fragrances are housed in a rich, SHINY, black bottle, that’s in the identical shape of the first one. The women’s bottle also features a black crystal necklace. Tres Chic! Can’t wait to try it!
What do you think of Diddy’s new fragrance? Bitchassness or Hotness?

Hey girls!Long time no speak! Sorry I’ve been M.I.A, but I’ve just come back from a long trip to Florida. Weather wasn’t as hot as I’d hoped it would be, but I did get a chance to do some serious damage at the fabulous International Plaza Mall in Tampa Florida. One of my great buys–Escada’s annual limited edition spring fragrance. This year’s scent is called MOON SPARKLE, which is inspired by their new 2008 spring fashion collection. For $55 bucks not only did I get a great fruity fragrance, but I also got a copy of Rihanna’s “Good Girl Gone Bad” CD and and an umbrella (go figure!). I’ve actually been curious to hear her album since she’s released a couple of decent songs over the past year, but I hadn’t taken the time to purchase it. So, this was definitely an added perk! It also feels good to know that some of the money is used for a good cause–the collaboration is apparently in an effort to bring awareness to Rihanna’s BELIEVE FOUNDATION (a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting and inspiring children).
Any-hoo, the fragrance smells fabulous of course…just like Escada’s past spring scents. I love it’s strawberry and apple notes, which make it the perfect scent to take on a caribbean getaway.
Missed y’all!
*xoxo*
P.S. Some other new fragrance finds–Michael Kors Island Capri and Mariah Carey’s M Gold. Both smell decent, but neither wowed me enough to drop money on them. Especially MC’s, which sells for a hefty $70 bucks! Not worth it in my opinion.

Hola Chicas!
John Varvatos just launched his new fragrance for women. The signature scent, which launched exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue, will be available nationwide in a few weeks. The fragrance is made up of a fruity top note with hints of mango and apple, a floral middle note of jasmine and lily, and a patchouli and vanilla base. I kinda liked it upon initial sniff, but the longer I wore it the more it started to smell kinda farts-y. It doesn’t really smell as modern as I expected it to– it smells like something that’s been done before. However, I do LoVe the packaging, which is in one of this season’s hottest metallic shades–solid rose gold–and it has the signature John Varvatos curved shape.
*kisses*
P.S. Though I didn’t completely love the woman’s version, I have to say that the men’s John Varvatos Vintage smells great! I bought it for my BF this weekend and we both love it;-)

Hey Girls,
I’m sooooo excited that Spring is finally here! It couldn’t come soon enough!
So, many companies have already launched fragrances for the Spring hoping to capture the essence of the season. But none have made an impression on me like the new fragrance by French design house, Chloe. The new signature fragrance consists of a soft blend of peony, rose, and magnolia. I usually don’t go for florals, but this one smells so modern, and it has a bit of a sweetness to it. I’m absolutely in love with this fragrance! I got my free sample at SAKS last week and haven’t stopped wearing it since. I think I found my signature scent for the season!
*xoxo*
