Introducing Antica Farmacista Lavata di Corpo Hand Wash!

I received a sample of this wonderful new product, and I’m absolutely ADDICTED to the scent. I have the Lavata di Corpo Hand Wash in the scenet Ala Moana.  The soap smells so amazing, I want to use it on my body – or wear it as a fragrance! It’s an awesome hand soap, and it comes in a beautiful bottle!

The carefree lure of the tropics play the muse to this bewitching collection…open sea breezes over beds of flowers, tucked-away gardens and their tantalizing scents and secrets…all of these scenes captured in an old-world apothecary bottle, formulated with only the world’s finest essential oils and natural ingredients. Curated to delight and engage the senses – both sight and smell – the upcoming collections from Antica Farmacista takes a page from tropical travel annals and diffuses it for a modern take on a stand-by classic. With Spring and Summer comes renewal, travel, exploration through the senses, and these collections don’t disappoint on any front.

Scent: Ala Moana

Some flowers open up only to the stars. Too delicate to expose themselves to the sun, some flowers blossom only at night and diffuse their lulling enchantments to creatures of the humid Hawaiian nights. This is what Ala Moana strives to achieve, and succeeds. Meaning “path to the sea,” this transporting signature scent is a full-floral experience meant to evoke lush nights on island tropics. Night-blooming jasmine, plumeria, tuberose and gardenia work in symphony to enchant and relax. Invigorating green notes add a crisp complexity that illuminates this luscious scent.

Scent: Lemon, Verbena & Cedar (Limone, Verbena e Cedro)

Secret gardens and their enchantments lend inspiration to this scent. Like the hidden pockets of hidden gardens themselves, these home ambiance diffusers and room sprays diffuse perfumed passages of complex citrus notes that awaken the senses from slumber. It starts with notes of tart lemon, orange and lemongrass mingling with notes of fresh Italian Verbena, follows with subtle ozonic white florals, and finishes with a delicate earthiness built on notes of cedarwood.

Jennifer Lopez to launch new fragrance – ‘Love and Glamour’

Jennifer Lopez announced today that she will be launching a new fragrance in October. Called Love and Glamour, this latest scent is inspired by her own return to life on the A-list. Lopez pioneered the celebrity fragrance category back in 2002 and her other 16 fragrances have taken in a whopping $1 billion over the course of 16 launches. Not too bad for a girl from the block.

But how does Lopez feel about the other celebs who have jumped on the celebrity fragrance band wagon? “More power to them,” Lopez tells WWD. “I am very competitive, but I don’t look at it [as a competition.] I’ve always thought that authenticity, at the end of the day, wins, and the cream always rises to the top. I really don’t worry about other people, because I’m in competition with myself.”

Lopez, who is set to renew her vows with husband of six years, Marc Anthony this Saturday, also says that the creation of Love and Glamour was an “exacting process.” “I drive [Coty] a little bit crazy,” she said. “Because it’s always not signature enough. I go back and say things like, ‘Can we push the sandalwood a little bit more, can we make it a tiny bit more sexy?’ To translate that into actual chemistry is a difficult thing. Then they go back and say, ‘What does she mean by sexy?’ she explains to WWD.

But how did she come up with the concept? “What I always like to do is look at where I am in my life at the moment. [Here] it was right after the babies and was when I was getting back to work and getting back to what I do again. It just felt like a time of a lot of love and that seemed very romantic to me — I said it seems like love and glamour. As a name, Love and Glamour seemed like a really aspirational, fun and beautiful thing that we could work with in many, many ways.”

If your tastes in fragrance leans toward notes of Italian mandarin, guava and nectarine pulp, or if you’re a fan of, coconut orchid, you’re going to delight in Love and Glamour. But, will you buy yet another fragrance from Jennifer Lopez? Or have you had enough?

“From my music to my wardrobe, my style is all about speaking up and making a statement,” Fergie says of the scent’s overall concept in a release.
