CdG#2 "Silver Words"
POST A COMMENT 
Comme des Garcons has announced the limited edition CdG#2 "Silver Words".
"Words contain meanings like a bottle holds a perfume. Both convey messages that can be interpreted and experienced in an immense variety of different ways, each of them communicates an essence, a thought, a shared experience. Messages in bottles have always signified belief and a hope for the future.
Using advanced serigraphic techniques, evolved from traditional printing methods, the original Comme des Garcons 2 pebble-shaped bottle has been lacquered in black to contain silver words of peace, freedom and love in several languages.
The result is a deep, matt-black color surface holding an infinite message of hope, stamped in silver words."Labels: Beauty, CdG2, Comme des Garcons, Scent

Les Mythiques © Parfums Givenchy
POST A COMMENT 
To mark its 50th anniversary, Givenchy is reintroducing ten of its mythic scents.
In 1957 Hubert de Givenchy created a cult perfume for his muse and friend Audrey Hepburn. Together they named it L'Interdit.
That same year the couture house became a perfume house with Le De, previously available exclusively from four leading department stores in Paris, London and New York.
In 1959 Hubert de Givenchy had his personal fragrance Vetyver created, a woody scent as elegant as it is natural. Then he conceived Monsieur, the first scent to be marketed internationally.
The early 1970s were a turning point in the lives of women and elegance took on a fresh face with Givenchy III.
Then came L'Eau de Givenchy and Xeryus in the 80s, followed by Insensé, Extravagance d'Amarige and Organza Indécence all of which marked the 1990s.
For this new edition, the bottle for the ten fragrances was created by Pablo Reinoso. The sober, sleek design features a thick base and a play of light between the transparent and frosted glass, with perfect proportions between the flacon and the cap.
A collection this elegant, resolutely modern could only be one thing: So Givenchy.
The ten Parfums Mythiques are available at Parfums Givenchy sales outlets and on the Web at www.parfumsgivenchy.com/e-boutique.Labels: Beauty, Fragrance, Les Mythiques, Parfums Givenchy, Scent
