Natural spray, Eau de toilette, perfumes, whatever name you decide to call them tend to herald the presence of some individuals as soon as they step out or inside a place. Classic scents like old wines get better over the years. Some people are so in love with good old legendary fragrances that you can easily notice or feel their presence without seeing them.

The good thing about most classic scents is that they never alter their aura and some of them that do, get even more alluring, intoxicating, bewitching, sensual and provocative making them, more and more acceptable to their loyal users. A scent like channel No. 5 from the fifties is still one of the romantic scents around today.
What do you say to the sheer sensuality of Luxurious Opium from the stables of the French beauty and fashion giant Yves Saint Laurent? L’AIR du temps created by Robert Ricci in 1984 for his mother NINA Ricci is still the bomb any day.

How can you not adore DIOR ESSENCE made with ‘Lily of the valley,’ favourite flower of fashion guru-Christian Dior? Jeanne Lanvin in 1927 created her signature fragrance E’clat d’Arpege which she dedicated to her daughter Marguerite. FEMME created by Marcel Rochas in 1945 for his bride Helene will make your day with its fruity plum and peach fragrance. Jean Patou re-created Joy with more fruitier notes and scintillating ENJOY. Need to say more? Just enjoy it! Spr..itzz on, and watch your senses come alive! Hey Jacq, what’z your pick?

FITNESS WATCH: Chocolates, pizza, chicken & chips, ice-cream does not cure heart break….join a gym, eat healthy for a more improved you.

BEAUTY SPLASH: At the salon, always demand for sterilized manicure/pedicure tools and insist they show you how they are sterilized. AIDS is real!!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Be a breath of fresh air always.
