Check out the NEW fragrance Stars by JIMMY CHOO.
JIMMY CHOO fragrances are always a favorite of mine!
Love the bottle color, goes with my beauty room and bedroom well!
Glamorous, Addictive, and Sensual.

It describes itself as (from Sephora.com):
Jimmy Choo STARS Eau de Parfum is a luxurious and sensual limited-edition fragrance inspired by the Jimmy Choo Star Collection, embodying rock ‘n’ roll glamour. Dressed in a luminous gold lacquer, it is a sumptuous re-mastering of the original eau de parfum, with a more intense and addictive signature.

A top note of pear is enriched by addictive candied orange, while the sensual tiger orchid heart evolves into an irresistible trail of intoxicating toffee chypre and luxurious Indonesian patchouli and sandalwood.

The packaging was inspired by the Jimmy Choo Star collection of accessories, which features rock-chic star studs on it's most iconic shoes, handbags, and small leather goods. The warm, rose gold lacquer of the bottle is a perfectly luminous treat for the holiday season.

Notes:
Candied Orange, Tiger Orchid, Toffee, Sandalwood, Indonesian Patchouli.
Style:
Sensual. Luxurious. Glamorous.

Check out the NEW fragrance GIRL by Pharrell Williams.
A fun colorful bottle design and a fragrance fit for boys and girls!
Rich, Unisex, and Stylish.

It describes itself as (from Sephora.com):
The Story 
Pharrell Williams and avant-garde fashion house Comme des Garçons collaborated to create a blend of no bounds. The result? A stylish wood-based fragrance for girls and boys that strikes an attractive balance of masculinity and femininity—available at exclusive beauty retailer Sephora. 

“When I do collaborations, I do them with notable masters.”—Pharrell Williams 

The Inspiration 
Pharrell followed the trail of a friend’s wood-based perfume that led him to longtime favorite designer Comme des Garçons. Using the world’s finest materials and top industry perfumers, the brand captured a one-of-a-kind beat of music, fashion, and art. 

The Collaboration 
Pharrell collaborated with notable masters from Comme des Garçons, known for its cutting-edge originality and coveted collections. Together they created the modern fragrance inspired by the rich, distinctive scent of wood housed in a collector’s edition bottle with a never-before-seen design by KAWS. 

The Notes 
Flirtatious base notes of vetiver, patchouli, cedar, and Australian sandalwood introduce an instant edge warmed by iris, styrax, and violet. Striking top notes of neroli, lavender, and white pepper mirror visions of youthful innocence. The ultra-concentrated eau de parfum lingers long after application. 

“Air is the canvas…an art of the olfactory sense.”—Pharrell Williams 

The Bottle 
Pharrell commissioned his friend and Brooklyn-based artist KAWS to create a limited-edition bottle. The artist uses unconventional canvases to translate his eccentric style from the streets of New York City to three-dimensional structures like the bottle’s custom 360-degree print emblazoned with the artist’s whimsical design.


Be sure to check out this fragrance at your local Beauty Counter.
