Dior Insider Auctions

I finally signed up for the Dior insider auctions. I think this is a very cool idea, basically you are registered at Dior and then you can participate in auctions for special packages such as:

Cherie Diva.
2 round trip business class tickets to Paris
2 night of at a very expensive hotel
Lunch at Laduree (my favorite patisserie in Paris)
An afternoon tour of Paris and a visit to the Dior offices
Dinner at an expensive restaurant
A surprise gift

The current bid for this package is more than $4000; it is approaching the cost of the activities, but the funds will go to a charity and the whole experience as described on the website is priceless. There are many other auctions, this is one of the most expensive ones. I think it is a cool idea because the packages are special, granted they are expensive, but perhaps a good gift for a special occasion.

I am not planning to participate in any auction right now, but I will keep an eye for the right package.

Jennifer Lopez new Glow

Jennifer Lopez has added a new perfume to her fragrance line. The floral new fragrance is called My Glow. Jennifer’s previous fragrances are: Miami Glow, Love at First Glow, Glow After Dark, Glow Shimmer and Sunkissed Glow. The original Glow fragrance has been the most successful and it is one of my favorites.

Jennifer said that the new perfume is inspired on her new role as a mother. The promotional materials reflect this inspiration. The bottle has an angle, because she thinks that “every baby is an angel.”

Jennifer’s new perfume will be out in October in two sizes. Some people with dirty thoughts said that the bottle looks similar to the classical fragrance “L’Air Du Temps.” They both have an angel, but I am not sure if they are “very” similar.

Happy birthday Chanel No. 5

Today in 1921 Coco Chanel launched her famous fragrance, Chanel No. 5. The fifth day of the fifth month.

There are many theories for the name. Some said that Chanel considered 5 to be her lucky number, others that this was the 5 fragrance she tried and selected it for her first perfume. In any case Chanel No. 5 continues to be an iconic fragrance like no other.

In the beginning it was an exclusive fragrance sold only to her clients. At a time when perfumes were mainly single notes (only one aroma) Chanel wanted something complex for her fragrance, a mix of aromas.

Happy birthday No. 5

Baby doll YSL miniatures

One of my favorite perfumes is Babydoll by YSL. Browsing their website, I found that they have a limited edition of the miniature versions of the perfume. I love fragrance bottles and I found this miniature irresistible.
