There are occasions and events when you dress for success, so why not wear fragrances that impress. Whether you are at a business meeting, special occasion, an elegant dinner or an outdoor party, reach for a scent for that will get you noticed. Steven chose three perfumes that make a statement. –Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
Boadicea The Victorious Opal (Julie Lurendu): Opal is a classy, elegant, and sophisticated perfume with notes of suede leather, saffron, and coffee. The heart is enriched with tones of iris and lavender while the base is made long lasting with notes of musk and patchouli. -Steven Gavrielatos, Video Contributor
Top notes: Saffron, Coffee, Bay Leaf, Metallic notes, Cinnamon, Black Pepper and Bergamot; Mid notes: Cocoa, Suede, Orris, Geranium, Clary Sage, Lavender, Davana, Nutmeg and Rose; Base notes: Musk, Orris, Patchouli, Cashmeran, Moss, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Cedar and Woody Notes
Clive Christian Timeless (Julie Plachet): Timeless by Clive Christian is an explosion of mint, lavender, and bitter orange. The bright and effervescent tones are made smooth and elegant through the use of nutmeg and musk. Vetiver in the dry down establish the sophisticated vibes in the conclusion for an olfactory experience unlike any other. -Steven Gavrielatos
Top Notes: Bitter Orange, Ginger, Lime, Elemi, Peppermint, Heart Notes: Coriander Seed, Lavender, Clove Bud, Nutmeg, Leather, Base Notes: Patchouli, Amber, Sandalwood, Vetivert
Goldfield & Banks Bohemian Lime is a fragrance that brings new ingredients to perfumery with Australian finger lime, also known as “Australian Caviar Lime”. In Goldfield & Banks Bohemian Lime, Dimitri Weber, the owner and creative director, worked with Givaudan on new extraction technology to bring this botanical essence to the perfume. Bohemian Lime is what I would wear to an elegant outdoor summer party but can easily be worn to a business meeting. It is fruity, spicy, fresh and on my skin it’s long lasting. -Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
Notes: Finger Lime Australia, Bergamot Italy, Coriander, Cedarwood Atlas Morocco, Vetiver Haiti, Australian Sandalwood
