Smell of lilies: Body Shop has launched a new fragrance range ‘Aqua Lily’. It’s a fresh, delicate and water floral-based fragrance. This does not merely reflect a product that smells like lilies. Body Shop has moved a step ahead, to dig up some history, to mix it up with the smell. To the Chinese, lilies symbolize ‘forever in love’; the Greeks termed it the ‘flower of flowers’, whereas the Romans often blended fresh lilies with roses and scattered on their beds.
There is a whole range including Aqua Lily perfume oil, eau de toilette, body spray, etc. The fragrance is a blend of watermelon, dewy bamboo, green apple, pink pepper and tangerine in harmony with floral notes of rose, violet, muguet and, of course, lily.

Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste: This is a young fragrance typically Bvlgari in its subtle sophistication. The perfume is inspired by the amethyst gemstone’s aura. The floral scents exuded by it are refreshing. They remind one of rose gardens and morning dew.
Burberry The Beat is sexy, feminine and vibrant, with its smoky, sensual musk and wooden tones, blended with the aroma of traditional Ceylon tea and bluebells! This gift is an ode to nature and flowers.

Chrome Legend: Azzaro’s new fragrance for men is packed with scents duly extracted from nature- flowers and forests. It is a fresh, intense smell with notes of citrus that reminds one of sea spray and green frosted leaves. There are also under-notes of woody, musky amber essences.

If you are planning to gift perfume, here are some basic facts to be kept in mind:
Alcohol content in perfumes makes them emanate sweet smells from one’s skin. Without it, only the wearer would know about it.
Find a fragrance that complements skin type and natural aroma of body of the person whom you want to gift it.
The scent should be pleasant enough and subtle enough to enhance the wearer’s personality.
A perfume lasts longer on some individuals than on others owing to differences in our skin (dry or oily) as well as in our PH levels. Try layering your perfume to ensure a longer effect.
Apply perfume low on the body and on your neck so that it gradually rises and won’t be lost quickly. Just a light spray on the hair can last whole day. It can be sprayed on the inside of the elbow, on the wrist, and back of the knees.
The best time to apply perfume is after a shower or bath, when skin pores will be open and can soak up the fragrance.
Keep perfume - gifted or bought - in cool, dry area. Keep it away from direct sunlight since it can unbalance the various ingredients.
An opened perfume bottle should be put in its box, when not in use, to ensure a longer shelf life.
Use non-deodorized soap where perfume is to be applied. Soaps and deodorants can affect how it will smell on your skin!

Certain types of jewelry like costume or pearl jewelry can get discolored owing to perfume alcohols. Some can also lose it outer coating. When wearing perfume with such f jewelry type, spray it away from the jewelry.
You can gift a variety of perfumes for different seasons that go with the person’s body and personality type.

When buying a perfume take lots of breaks. Ideally, begin with lighter scents, so your nose will not get overpowered by the harsh scent early on.

After being exposed to stimuli, our olfactory senses shut down to continuing aromas or odors. Sensors can be recalled by ‘palate cleansing’, or just by taking a break.

If you are looking for something very rich and heady, test a couple of fragrances, then wander off for a cup of coffee, and return in half an hour or so to try a couple more.

Carefully read the perfume information before you actually buy. You may sometimes find lighter scents just by reading the details on the label. Packaging is often distinctly colored to reflect the overall ‘tone’ of the fragrance. You will mostly get rich, complex ones in deep reds or browns, light florals in pastel colors and fruity scents in bright packages. It is not a norm, though!

Fragrance boutiques specializing in scented oils often have saucers of coffee beans put around so you can draw a little more out of your ‘scent sensors’. Sniffing the coffee beans often refreshes and revives your sense of smell.

If you aren’t very sure what exactly you’re looking for, you might make things easier for yourself by talking to the experienced salesperson about scent types you are looking for and the characteristics of the person you want to gift it so that the salesperson can help you find a perfect perfume.

Here are some random picks for men: Ralph Lauren Polo Sport, Dunhill Desire Blue, Calvin Klein’s cK One, Boss by Hugo Boss

Here are some random picks for women: Donna Karan Be Delicious, Davidoff Cool Water, Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey

Pink Day, or June 23, has a serious history behind it. An American company marked the day pink on its calendar when it found that more than half its women employees had been diagnosed with breast cancer. But the colour is traditionally far from serious. It is associated with girls and cuteness and all things nice. But at the turn of the century pink also crossed over to the boardroom and not just because women were storming the male bastion of work in a big way. It became the it colour of the metrosexual man. For a long time women, too, had steered clear of pink in the workplace for fear of appearing inefficient, but today with a new found confidence, pink has taken on different connotations. Here’s a quick guide on how to wear pink in the office –

• Pink doesn’t mean bubblegum pink. Men should opt for deep shades of salmon and rose pink that complement the Indian skin tone perfectly, and remember that plum, crimson and magenta are also shades of pink. Steer clear of hot pink.
• Hot pink is a woman’s colour all the way. It’s bold, fierce and extremely feminine. It’s sexy without even remotely being trashy and no one can miss you when you’re wearing it.

• When buying a pink piece of clothing like a shirt or a jacket for the office, go for ‘serious’ prints like checks and stripes.
• Team your pink with business-like colours. A pink shirt with a navy blue or black jacket is a striking combination; pink and white lends itself to an easy feel, perfect for Friday dressing.
• Wary of pink? Use it as an accessory – a pink belt, pink shoes, a pink kerchief in your jacket pocket, or a pink tie. Note to self: keep the pink tie matte. Avoid shine, unless you want to attract attention to a block of shiny pink down your centre.
However, if you are completely an anti-pink person or your mood is just not ‘pinky’ on June 23, then you don’t have to wear it, just put it up in the office! A pink wall hanging, when used correctly, can bring vitality into an office space.

So go pink with a vengeance and, spare a thought for the breast cancer victims in the world.
