Beauty feature friday: Fashion and fragrance

I love the softness of this watery, floral scent, Stay by Gap, the follow up to their first Fragrance, Close. Top notes are Green Hydrangea, freesia and dewy lemon flower, middle notes are Blue Lotus, white peony and bluebell and the bottom notes comprise of sandal wood, white amber, drift wood and musk. You’ll want this fragrance to ‘Stay” on you all day. A soft petal infusion, clean and simple, mirroring that of The Gap Clothing Brand.

Gap Close & Stay are exclusive to Stuttafords and retails at R299 (50ml) and R399 (100ml)

Jimmy Choo, the fashion brand has graced many a red carpet. A shoes and accessory house, coveted by women around the world, everyone dreaming of owning a pair of Jimmy Choos. Tamara Mellon, Founder and chief Creative Officer of Jimmy Choo, has extended the glitz and glamorous lifestyle, now through fragrance.

Now this is what a perfume bottle should look like. Glamorous! Carrying notes of Tiger Orchid and Indonesian Patchouli, it’s heady and exotic, something a little fabulous. At first spray, it smells incredible, then unfortunately it doesn’t settle well on my skin. But, you go and try it out, maybe it’s your path to perfume heaven.

I am absolutely loving this rose and jasmine love letter laces with blueberry and ginger. As I said earlier this week, I couldn’t get my wrist away from my nose on trying this.

“My desire was to create a very feminine and musky scent; that would exalt modern and surprising contrasts from the classical chypre structure, bypassing the norms” says Galliano

When last did you write a love letter and seal it with  stamp. This is fragrance is definitely worth “writing home about”
