The definition of BISCENTUAL is the guilt free enjoyment of both 100% natural and blended fragrances. I invented this word after discovering the “heroic” nature of both natural and blended perfumes; as a natural perfumer who had shunned non botanicals this was an ephiphany
All of which means that people have woken up on Christmas Day all over the world to inappropriate perfume purchases…Lacoste Touch of Pink for the maiden aunt who is a life-long Dioressence loyalist and most unlikely to get through her stash of back up bottles in this lifetime.
There has been much speculation as to the significance of each verse of THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS, but, in the end, it seems that really it’s just all in good fun! On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me a Partridge in a Pear Tree: Nice: Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia …
I was introduced to the latest member of the Island Michael Kors collection, Palm Beach and realized this entry still had the same fun-loving quality of its Island stable mates but it also had some of the complexity I liked from the main line fragrances.

Joseph Quartana’s Six Scents project is always of interest to me. His stated credo for Six Scents is this:
“We choose the rising stars of the fashion industry who will one day be big enough to have their own fragrance but who are too small to have it just yet. So we steal from the future and offer it now.”
Each year, the Six Scents Parfums fragrance initiative brings the experience of creativity with a conscience to the world through a collection of six unisex scents. Created by a distinct group of designers and perfumers, these limited edition fragrances are designed to represent a global range of contemporary views on creativity and culture. Perfumers Yann Vasnier, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Christophe Raynaud, Mary Katrantzou, Stephen Nilsen and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto collaborated with Designers Alexis Mabille, Mary Katrantzou, Junn.J, Rad Hourani, N.Hoolywood, and Ohne Titel. A percentage of proceeds will go towards War Child International, which works with children all over the world to reduce poverty, to provide education and to defend their rights.
