Sniffing for something extraordinary

July 17, 2008 / 106 Comments

I recently went to the lab to embark on the process of choosing my perfume!

I spent the day in New York City at the lab of Givaudan, a renowned fragrance company, to formulate my perfect scent!

This will be a long process and I will be back many times to make sure it is exactly the way I want it!

I also underwent a complete smell test with every perfume I like to make sure mine is nothing like those.

Without naming specific brands, what types of scents are you most drawn too—vanilla, musk, fruity, floral, other?

 

Breaking News: I’m launching my own perfume!!!

July 2, 2008 / 141 Comments

It has always been a dream of mine to start my own perfume business, since I love to mix fragrances together and come up with new and different scents! I hope you understand my total excitement as I let you, the readers of my blog, become the first to know that I am creating my own fragrance!!!  

I have decided to work with New Wave Fragrances, who also distribute Ed Hardy and True Religions fragrances.

It all started when my mom introduced me to famous perfumer Caroline Sabas from Gras, France. She and I have been working together to create a scent that is uniquely me that I can share with everyone!

I have also hired local designer Scott Oshry to help me create the perfect bottle for my fragrance.

It is in the development stages, but we hope to have it in stores by next May – Mother’s Day! It will be available in the U.S., Germany, England, Australia and Japan.

I hope you LOVE what I come up with!
