Fashion designer, model, and Hollywood stylist L’Wren Scott has launched her first fragrance. Her self-titled debut is a spicy chypre with a floral heart that, much like Ms. Scott, is multi-faceted and can’t truly be categorized.

In 1932, George G. Blaisdale formed the Zippo lighter company creating an American icon. Two years ago they expanded their line to fragrances. It seems Zippo has put the same thought and quality into their scents; Original, On the Road, Into the Blue, and The Woman, as they always have into their lighters.

The best perfume houses are the result of a creative team which works together and more importantly challenges each other.

Franco Wright and Adam Eastwood of Luckyscent decided a collection of four fragrances would be needed to appropriately commemorate the occasion of their 10th anniversary and so the Decennial collection; Lys du Desert, Nuit Epicee, Bois Bourbon, and Santal Sacre were born.
