Beauty: The best fragrances of all time

Last year saw the launches of many fragrances from the very important fashion houses as well as from the celebrities. When it comes to perfumes, it is not only a woman’s essence of luxury and pleasure but also a very important aspect of woman’s life and fashion. Usually, every end of year, fashion critics give their comments about the best and the worst in the fashion industry. Well, 2011 fragrances have taken centre stage in the fashion world, and very few made it to the top. Below are some of the best fragrances that made headlines on the internet. Every woman who enjoys fashion should own at least one. White diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds is a fragrant demonstration of Elizabeth Taylors personal style and affinity for all things glamorous. A soft yet crisp white flower scent with exotic ingredients like Amazon lily, Egyptian tuberose, Turkish rose and Italian orris; patchouli, amber and sandalwood give a rich and sensual brilliance to White Diamonds base. It was first launched in 1991 but has sold more bottles after the death of the owner Elizabeth Taylor. Kenzo Jungle Elephant by Kenzo Kenzo Jungle Elephant Perfume is meant to let the animal in you come roaring out in style. Introduced in 1996 this seductive scent will have you feel like queen of the jungle, this alluring scent contains a blend of mandarin, cardamom, caraway, clove, heliotrope, ylang-ylang, mango juice, licorice, vanilla, patchouli, and casmerin. It is my number one choice of fragrance. Chanel No.5 Women have loved Chanel perfumes for decades. Chanel makes best-selling perfumes that leave a lasting impression. When it comes to buying the perfect perfume, you simply cannot go wrong with Chanel fragrances. Chanel No. 5 is an iconic fragrance that is purchased somewhere in the world every 30 seconds! Besides being a favourite of Marilyn Monroe, this brand of mystical perfumes has also secured a place in the art world. Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder Estee Lauder is one of the best-known brands in perfumes with approximately 56 perfumes. Its all-encompassing range has perfumes for every occasion and for every taste. The best of all is called Beyond Paradise perfume which has a floral fragrance that evokes a feeling of warmth, euphoria and optimism. It has the notes of blue hyacinth, orange flower templar, jabuticaba fruit, laelia orchid, crepe jasmine, mahonia japonica, pink honeysuckle, plum blossoms, ambrette seed, zebrano wood and golden melaleuca bark. It is ideal for casual wear. Jadore by Dior This is an extremely sexy perfume and would perfectly suit those seductive and sensual women who enjoy their femininity with a bit of power. Floral and spicy, this scent is an absolute knockout; it is popular among French women. Light Blue Dolce & Gabbana Everything that Dolce & Gabbana touches turn into gold. Light blue has a very feminine scent that highlights intensity of jasmine, freshness of bamboo, and charm of white rose, typical of D & G style. Romance by Ralph Lauren Ralph Lauren is a great man for all seasons and everything that is fashion. Romance is among one of my favourite perfumes; it has a refreshing scent with a touch of different types of colorful and refreshing floral notes. Whether the perfume is musk, spice, floral, woodsy, or a combination, every woman wants her own personality to be reflected in her choice of scent; but one has also to consider the type of ceremony, gathering or occasion they are attending before they wear certain perfumes. Your perfume is a way of expressing your personality, so try to do away with cheap perfumes which make a person smell horrible; like quality fashion accessories, good perfume adds a finishing touch to what you are wearing; do not be left behind smell good this coming year. Happy New Year 2012! kayitesius@yahoo.com
