Jimmy Choo Exotic Perfume Review

Jimmy Choo Exotic is a hot new limited edition fragrance for 2013 that reflects a free spirited and confident vibe! This perfume is for the exuberant character gal, who sparkles with her mischievous and sexy personality.
Jimmy choo's iconic signature python skin used on their accessories and shoes, is featured on the box to display and reflect the perfumes luxurious and exotic scent. The intense fushia bottle symbolises a glamorous and expensive lifestyle of a playful and strong woman.
This fragrance is perfect for the up coming warm months in Australia, the fresh and fruity scent is suitable for the beach and tropical night life.
Once spritzing this fragrance on you'll be certain that you will be smelling great for hours without having to re apply. The scent will start out magnetically strong and then fade into a soft intoxicating sexy fragrance.
Overall I give this fragrance a 4.5 out of 5 stars, it's almost perfect and is suitable for any lovely lady who is after the wow factor!

Top notes include black current sorbet and pink grapefruit.

Middle notes feature tiger orchid, exotic passion flower and floral notes.

Base notes are patchouli and tart raspberry.

How gorgeous is the bottle design!

The free bag with Jimmy Choo Exotic makes a great beach tote for the upcoming summer!

SCENT OF A LADY: HANNA + ANNA

LOVE, Chloé //

since hannah macgibbon's debut as the creative director at chloé with her spring 2009 rtw collection, the quintessential brand for luxury ready-to-wear has resurrected itself to be one of the most highly-coveted, it-girl commodities alongside chanel and balenciaga. there must be something in the water at chloé headquarters. from karl lagerfeld's reign in the '60s (and part of the '90s), to stella mcCartney, then pheobe philo (now, of Celine), these design legends have all gone to mayjah success since leaving their chair at chloé.

hannah brought back the modern, ladylike yet quirky separates. hannah brought back the IT bag (paddington, paraty, heloise, anyone?). hannah brought back a signature scent (eau de parfum - the first one for the house since karl). hannah now is giving us a new fragrance - LOVE, chloé.

raquel zimmermann, the muse Love, Chloé

"LOVE, Chloé is a celebration of radiant, generous, spontaneous femininity. Free and graceful movement. Contagious beauty"

hannah macgibbon's first collection for chloé (spring 2009 rtw).

cheeky separates, paperbag waisted shorts, pleated trousers, creamy colors,

and scalloped edges

BEYOND by ADR//

anna dello russo, style icon who NEVER wears the same couture twice & editor-at-large at vogue nippon is releasing her very own fragrance, called BEYOND, the scent by ADR.

and what will it be like? "a GOLDEN shoe will contain a fragrance of vanilla and almonds"

perfume or not, i've never wanted to smell like a shoe until now.

to be released by christmas 2010.

who else can pull off an unlined lace dress by dolce & gabbana with red silky undergarments during fashion week? the one and only, ADR.

and now, a few words from ANNA:

what is the biggest challenge facing fashion editors?

"To not get old! Fashion keeps me young and keeps my eyes fresh. I have to update myself every morning. I'm so curious about all the visionary phenomena that changes the contemporary scenario. I call myself "the vestal of fashion" because for me fashion is a muse and you must seduce her. How? You have to feed the creative fire so it doesn't vanish." -- ADR

i am inspired. ..

BANG MARC JACOBS

BANG: the newest fragrance by sir marc jacobs. but this time its for the boys. and for the FIRST time ever, Mj will be facing his own product. it's about damn time this beautiful man strips down. hmm..i wonder what this will smell like. perhaps sandalwood, gardenias, and a dash of narcissism??

from WWD, in an exclusive interview w MJ, marc said: "Posing nude was business partner Robert Duffy’s idea, said Jacobs on Thursday in an exclusive interview. “Robert and I work closely with Coty on these projects, and he said, ‘Marc, you look so great now — you should be the model for men’s fragrance.’ My immediate reaction was, I don’t know. But then I came to see that it made sense. Men’s fragrance, unlike women’s in a certain way, is very personal. It’s a layer on top of skin — for women, it can be like changing a makeup color, but not for men."
