MARINA DE BOURBON by Marina de Bourbon EAU DE PARFUM .25 OZ MINI for WOMEN

What it is: This eau de parfum was inspired by a photograph of a young girl entitled Kirsten 1996 taken by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in that year. The fragrance is a true collaboration in every sense as creative director Ben Gorham sought to interpret not only the image itself but the vision and personality of its creators. Fragrance story: 1996 transports the wearer to another plane and, like the image it is inspired by, combines polar opposites, as the Northern hemisphere gives way to creamy orris and soft, slightly flirtatious violets. The soul of this fragrance is a warm, almost viscous black amber, its deep cognac rapture envelops the wearer and time stands still for just a moment until the journey concludes in the softly sensual leather and patchouli of the Orient. Style: Woody, aromatic. Notes:- Top: juniper berries, black pepper- Middle: violet, leather accord, orris- Base: patchouli, black amber, vanilla. Style Name: Byredo 1996 Eau De Parfum. Style Number: 5478880. Available in stores.

What it is: An eau de parfum by perfumer Julien Rasquinet that pays homage to Lancome's founder, Armand Petitjean. Fragrance story: The Maison Lancome fragrance collection so exquisitely touches upon and carries on Petitijean's dream and the essence of the House itself. This new high perfumery experience takes a creative stance-the very French art of blending. Each fragrance is crafted in the same manner that one composes wine of the most superior grade (Grand cru) with a combination of varieties, origins and extractions that are specially selected according to precise criteria. With Roses Berberanza, Julien Rasquinet has composed this blend of two extracts of damask rose. The rose in absolute, with its herbaceous accents, softens the fresh notes of the rose in essence. The now-magnified damask rose finds nuances in the saffron accord, and the luminous, sparkling essence of mandarin brightens it. In the signature, a spice and pistachio accord accentuates the addictive vanilla bourbon, raspberry accord and elegant smoky oud. Opulent and generous, this spicy, gourmand floriental draws you into daydreams- 3.4 oz. Style Name: Lancome Maison Lancome Roses Berberanza Eau De Parfum. Style Number: 5429559. Available in stores.

What it is: A woody eau de parfum. Fragrance story: During the '60s, a certain scent was changing the world: patchouli. It conveyed a sense of freedom and spirituality that was closer to nature, and the hopes of a generation that was reinventing the future. Tempo is a tribute to this olfactory icon. But it's far from the harsh, humid undergrowth scent of yesteryear's touchstone. This is a nuanced composition of three patchouli extracts from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi that hovers between elegant and woody, enveloping and earthy. Elevated by violet leaf, Tempo vibrates on the skin with remarkable sophistication. Style: Woody. Notes: patchouli, mate, clary sage, violet. Style Name: Diptyque Tempo Eau De Parfum. Style Number: 5601254. Available in stores.
