Pretty in Pink

Sometimes losing electricity frees you up for life’s more simple pleasures. Like flipping through Vogue’s September Issue, cover to cover, by flashlight beam. I glance at each of the 758 pages, noting the fashions, but more seriously hunting for scent strips.

With time to leisurely scan the pages, I start to notice that many of the new fragrance launches share a lovely shade of pink. Not a girly bubblegum pink, but a more sophisticated, ballet slipper pink.

A soft hue, with just a touch of golden coral. A champagne pink.

Not unlike the elastics and ribbons I’d sew on my daughters dance shoes – first her soft slippers, later her pointe shoes.

Thanks, Irene.

Here are a collection of graceful pink perfumes, along with their scent notes:

Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial – Amber, Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine, Iris, Vanilla, Tonka Bean

Elie Saab Le Parfum – Orange Blossom, Jasmine Absolute, Patchouli, Cedar Accord, Honey Rose

Givenchy Dahlia Noir – Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Mimosa, Rose, Iris, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean

Moment de Bonheur

Scents can magically transport you to another place and time. High above Madison Avenue, steps from a rooftop garden, Yves Rocher whisked us away to a Parisian street for a Moment de Bonheur. Having spent my teen years wafting in Chevrefeuille,  it was very exciting to attend the launch of this new fragrance. François Bousquet, Vice President Fine Fragrance Development and Consumer Insight at Firmenich, helped present Moment de Bonheur. We sampled the finished fragrance, as well as the individual scent notes, on blotters – rose centefolia, violet, patchouli & cedar. Perfumer Annick Menardo created the fragrance to provoke an instant of true happiness. Moment de Bonheur will be available in October 2011.

The cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were as pleasing to the eye as to the taste. The pink -green-yellow descending hues of the bottle are also reflected in the cocktail.

The Madras – Vodka, Grapefruit Juice & Cranberry Juice.
