Classics: Ralph Lauren Cologne and Perfume
August 19th, 2008 — Perfume, Scents
Fashion industry giant Ralph Lauren has shared his brilliance with the fashion world since 1967. After his return from military service, Ralph Lauren began designing men’s ties in New York City.
By the mid-1970s, Ralph Lauren was designing men’s and women’s clothing, and home furnishings. He single-handedly redefined the “preppy” look in American culture. Polo wear and fragrances are synonymous with class, sophistication, chic, and suburban.
Ralph Lauren offers a wide range of perfumes for women. Glamorous Perfume is perfect for all elegant occasions. For a lighter version of Glamorous Perfume, try Glamorous Daylight Perfume. It has all of the charming qualities of Glamorous Perfume, but adds the fresh smells of white flowers and sweet woods – perfect for daytime occasions. Women on-the-go should try Polo Sport Perfume. This fragrance is a great fit for professionals who want to maintain an edge throughout the workday. It combines the smells of greens, citrus, and floral with a hint of aquatics.
Polo Cologne is one of the most enjoyed fragrances in the world. Its success lies in its simple combination of leather, wood, tobacco, oak moss and basil. Men should also try Polo Sport Cologne for a sharp and refreshing scent.
Love in White
August 16th, 2008 — Perfume, Scents
Love in White from the House of Creed – one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious fragrance companies – comes as one the company’s latest in women’s fragrance. CEO Olivier Creed hoped that the newest ladies’ scent would capture “an element of nature that connects all humanity” which he particularly felt in tune with during his travels upon the open seas.
Love in White is a hand-crafted blend consisting citrus and (mainly) floral elements. The House of Creed spares no expense in the pursuit of high-class and authentic ingredients from places in the world considered to be the most exotic. For its hint of citrus, Love in White incorporates orange zest acquired from the beautiful plains of southern Spain. White jasmine from the picturesque coast of Italy, daffodil from the French Riviera, iris from Egypt, and Magnolia from the mountains of Guatemala constitute the floral ingredients blended together to form the scent. Supplemental elements include iridescent rice husks from Tonkin and vanilla from the Island of Java.
The white pear-shaped bottle of the perfume with a light-silver ribbon around its ‘neck’ is, according to Olivier Creed, poetically meant to evoke “the shoulders of a feminine figure as she rests upon white sands caressed by the ocean¹s gentle current.” The silver ribbon should convey “sunshine dancing on the Aegean Sea.”

Davidoff colognes and perfumes encompass a full range of fragrances for both men and women. Zino Davidoff, the founder, shares his love of life through his colognes.
To Davidoff, simplicity is the key. His colognes reflect this outlook on life by capturing the essence of scent and by not overpowering the nose. Davidoff offers a special summer fragrance for men and women. This line-up, called Cool Water, includes six different perfumes and six colognes — one for every summer activity.
Cool Water Summer Fizz Perfume captures the smell of citrus and mint. Davidoff recommends that women use Cool Water Summer Fizz Perfume for summer’s daytime activities. Women wishing to cool-off at the workplace should try Cool Water Game Perfume. It smells of apple peel and lemon and emits a refreshing ‘breeze-like’ feeling.
Women on summer vacation should try Cool Water Sea Scents and Sun Perfume. This utilizes the combination of rosemary, mint coriander, jasmine, sandalwood, musk, and moss. Men’s Cool Water Cologne is perfect for summer nights. This is energizing cologne that uses lavender, menthe, iris and a clean musk. For those hot summer days, try Cool Water Summer Fizz Cologne. Men will enjoy its smells of bergamot, citron, mint, juniper, lavender, orange, leather, musk, cedar, vetiver and suede.
House of Creed
August 7th, 2008 — Scents
The House of Creed – arguably the world’s most elite fragrance company – has been around for than two-and-a-half centuries and has a storied history. Founded in London in 1760 by entrepreneur James Henry Creed, the company has designed fragrances for generations of monarchs, princes, Hollywood actors, First Ladies, and others in the upper echelons of European and American society.
The House of Creed’s Royal English Leather cologne, for instance, was commissioned by King George III in 1781. Among leather scents the cologne ranks as a classic. Smelling richly of fine leather, the cologne’s painstakingly infused fragrances – a virtual trademark of Creed – manages also to evoke a fantastic 18th-century aristocratic feel.
Similarly exquisite colognes and perfumes, like Fleurs de Bulgarie, Angélique Encens, Sélection Verte, Green Irish Tweed, and Vintage Tabarome have been fashioned upon request for outstanding figures like Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria, Jackie Kennedy, Prince Charles, and Laura Bush. In an industry that has become highly mechanized and mass-production oriented, Creed to this day relies on old-fashioned ‘infusion’ techniques to create its products.
The House of Creed remains the only privately held fragrance company that markets to a luxury audience. A direct descendant of founder James Henry Creed, Olivier Creed, currently serves as its worldwide executive.

Ciel Fragrance
July 23rd, 2008 — Perfume, Scents
Paris Gallery, the flagship brand of Al Fahim Holdings, announced the launch of the House of Amouage’s latest fragrance Ciel both for men and women. It is the latest fragrance to undergo the updating and re-working treatment.
“We don’t believe women want unnaturally coloured fragrances these days so we have removed the colouring agent from the new Ciel and reformulated it with a higher perfume concentration transforming it into the Eau de Parfum category and thereby giving it longer lasting properties,” said Christopher Chong, Amouage Creative Director.
Ciel, both for women and men have been hailed by perfume experts as fragrances which evoke memories of a rain shower on a hot summer’s day, providing a cooling and invigorating effect.
Ciel for women is a pure, delicate and floral fragrance, featuring notes of gardenia, cyclamen, jasmine and water-lily in the top notes, with a base of silver frankincense. Ciel for men is a fresh fougère with top notes of lavender, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley over a warm, green base of vetyver, cedar and silver frankincense.
The new bottles have been designed to reflect the heritage of the brand and form an element of continuity with the previous bottles to become recognizable the world over as signature pieces of the House of Amouage. The men’s bottle is inspired by the Omani Khanjar and the cap is reminiscent of ivory, whereas the women’s bottle is inspired by classical Arabian architecture and the cap is reminiscent of the beautiful dome of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat.
The retail division of Al Fahim Holdings, Paris Gallery Group of companies consists of Paris Gallery, Karisma, Watch Gallery, Shoe ME, and various Fashion franchises such as Aigner, Burberry, Cartier, Etro, Ferrari, Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo.
