Pure Orchid Pleasure

     It takes more than the name on a perfume bottle to impress us. Fragrances that bear the stamp of actors, singers and other notables may come and go but here is one you will wish will be here forever—but it is available as a limited edition. Pure Orchid by Halle Berry is an enchanting scent—heady, yet not overpowering.

   Top notes: Jungle cactus Flower, Italian Lemon, Papaya Nectar Fizz and middle notes of Blackberry Crème  Concentré, Star Anise, Masdevallia Orchid followed by Base note of Giant Sequoia, Patchouli Leaf, and Sustainable Tonka Bean.

This sensual, woody fragrance comes by way of Coty Beauty, a long-respected perfumer  with a serious nose for the best and was designed by perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Christophe Raynaud, both of Givaudan. Even the bottle and hue are reminiscent of an exquisite orchid. A bouquet of pure enchantment., very affordable.

A Fever of Fragrance

   

Emanuel Ungaro’s designs have always been known for their classic imaginative use of fabric, cut and design and this head-turning fragrance is no exception. 

Avon’s new fragrance from U by Ungaro is Fire and it does indeed smolder—but always delicately with  Chypre florals and smoldering woods. 

Top notes of Raspberry, Mandarin Chinese Osmanthus delight and the Middle-- floral notes of Lychee Flower, Rose Absolute, White Honeysuckle further add to the perfume cocktail.

The Smoldering base notes—Sleek Amber, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Sensual Musk intensify and complete the banquet for the sense of smell and memory.

Even the bottle is sensual, fluid and exquisite. A lovely and enchanting fragrance.
