It’s not that we’re obsessed by Coco Chanel. It’s just that it’s almost impossible to discuss fashion and not mention the woman who ruled over Parisian haute couture for almost six decades. We have fashionistas galore in this generation but none of them would ever be able to outclass the great Coco. In fact, no one comes even remotely close. So if Coco decrees “A girl should be two things - classy and fabulous,” who are we to argue? And if she says “A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future,” then we’re certainly taking her word for gospel. Ladies, it’s time to hit the counters for that all-important sniff test. It’s not enough to be fashionably dressed. As good as you now look in that Grecian dress, you should smell even better.
Here are our top picks of designer fragrances for 2008.
1. Red Door Revealed Eau de Parfum Touch-On Pen by Elizabeth Arden
Mackay orchids, orange flower petals, lilies, and pink peonies - these are what people will think of once they smell this scent on you. Get the handy touch-pen for on-to-go usage and quick application.
2. Curious by Britney Spears
This scent is a delightful mix of Anjou pears, star jasmines, vanilla, sandalwood, and Louisiana magnolias. Pair it with your cotton day dress and look as cute as the newly reinvented Brit. Who cares that she copied her perfume pitch from Marc Jacobs? The frock will take you from desk to daiquiri. The fruity fragrance, on the other hand, is guaranteed to make everyone curious - about you!
3. Blush by Marc Jacobs
What do you get when you blend pink musk, Jasmine nectar, and sweet orange flowers? A fragrance so tantalizing you’ll be blushing non-stop from all the compliments you’ll surely be getting.
Of course, there are other gorgeous scents that you should try. But whatever you do, don’t go overboard with your perfume. Brush up on perfume tips. At one workplace, a woman wore too much Red Door so her boss showed her the door. In contrast, the same perfume actually saved a woman’s life. A woman in Corpus Christi made her captor flee by spraying him with Red Door. Doesn’t it just amaze you how versatile perfumes are?
