Video Ad Campaign: Solange Azagury Partridge

June 9, 2010

I received a shiny metallic silver invite in the mail a few days ago, announcing the grand opening of a Solange Azagury Partridge jewelry boutiqe on London’s trendy Bond Street — the same street where a splashy new Louis Vuitton megastore recently opened its doors.

Photos: Thierry Mugler Angel Liqueur de Parfum

March 1, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, when I first skidded to a stop in the presence of Mugler’s Angel Liqueur, I wrote, “Like bobbing for fruitchoulis in a vat of vintage port. Massive, tenacious and perversely yummy in a ‘Help! My perfume is stalking me!’ kind of way. I happily steeped in its sweet, cherry-wood and [...]

The New ‘Anything Goes’: Peter Som Fall 2010

February 15, 2010

We’re smack in the middle of New York Fashion Week, and the show that’s received some of the most positive buzz (so far) has been the Peter Som collection — a daring, vibrant display of color, texture and pattern that was like 1970′s bohemia meets the Park Avenue cocktail-party: You got your tie-dye on my [...]

Hippie Bling: Rich Hippie’s Woodstock, Krishna, Nirvana and Groovy

September 5, 2008

Rich Hippie gets a lot of blowback on the blogs for the sky-high pricing of their fragrances, which is understandable, as it does seem more than cheeky to ask for what amounts to $450.00 an ounce for something with the word “hippie” in its name (even when it’s preceded by the word “rich”). But there’s [...]

A little bit of Spice: Il Profumo Encens Epice, Parfumerie Generale Haramens, M. Micallef Night Aoud, Ormonde Jayne Ta’if

September 2, 2008

Now that we’re leaving the hottest months of the year behind (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), I thought it might be a good idea to take a look at some of the richer, spicier offerings from the niche-isphere, since that’s what most fragrance fans will be reaching for when the days get shorter and [...]

Andy Warhol Silver Factory by Bond No. 9

May 20, 2008

Andy Warhol Silver Factory is predicted to overtake Chinatown as Bond No. 9‘s best-selling fragrance, and it’s easy to see why; it’s got all the right mass-appeal elements while being just quirky enough to win accolades from the Jet Set. Silver Factory opens with a brief tin-can twang, perhaps in homage to Warhol’s Soup Can [...]
