For
Her: Kylie Minogue's first fragrance, darling This has to be
my favourite perfume of the year. It is just as glamorous as its
creator Kylie. This perfume is classified as Chypré-Floriental.
What does that mean? The perfume when you first smell it, is quite
sweet and fruity with notes of passion fruit, freesia and lychee.
However this is tempered with the soft notes of lily and boronia,
creating a very pleasant and elegant fragrance that lasts extremely
well on the skin. It has base notes of sandalwood, amberwood and
vanilla adding a very sensual and warm scent.
Eau de Toilette, 30 ml - $50, 50 ml - $65, 75 ml - $85, Pearly Shower
Gel, 200 ml - $29, Silky Body Lotion, 200 ml - $29.

For
Him: Dior Higher Energy The perfect
scent for the men who love a little spiciness without it being overwhelming.
This Eau De Toilette Spray Has gentle fresh notes with Grapefruit
to start with and settles on the skin with Nutmeg and Pepper notes.
The base notes are Vetiver and Sandalwood. So while this scent starts
out smelling very soft and citrusy on the skin it actually settles
to a lovely woody base and lasts on the skin very well. Get your
guy to try this one ladies.

For
Him: Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme This is a must try for all men.
Yes I did say men not boys, because this fragrance is truly masculine
and modern. The first thing you smell is a sparkling freshness created
by Zest of Lemon and Bergamot. However the fragrance has a depth
to it created by Sandalwood, Virginia cedar, Haitian Vetiver and
Tonka bean. The fragrance also has Violet leaves and Basil flowers
too. All of this creates a wonderful contrast of freshness and spiciness
which, on a man's skin is quite sensual. ON COUNTER 29th JANUARY

For
Her: Guerlain, Insolence If you are after a unique, luxurious fragrance
this is it. It cannot be described as any particular fragrance family.
Violet is the first note to notice however it's not a shrinking
violet. This is a strong scent that emphasizes strength in the fragrance
with raspberries and rose. It also has Iris which adds an almost
dignified element to the perfume. It has a sweetness to it which
you will notice first up, but it's not an overpowering sweetness
rather a very feminine quality.
