Boss Sunglasses

There is no better emotion than walking out on a sun-drenched day in a fashionable pair of designer sunglasses.  One of the most stylish designer sunglass lines that has appeared since the 1980s are the frames made by designer clothier Hugo Boss.  Boss designer eyewear are on offer for men, women and children, in shops and online in greater than 100 countries.  There are not many other designers that can provide this?

Hugo Boss eyewear come with polarized lenses to help defend against harmful UVA and UVA rays. It’s exceptionally vital that kids wear eyewear whenever they are out in the sun, starting as early as possible.  The fact that Hugo Boss sells frames like these for children shows how the business is committed to providing fabulous goods that are not just for accessorizing.  No matter what your age, Hugo Boss sun glasses will give you a defense from the harmful rays of the sun.

You can rest assured that Hugo Boss sunglasses are designed to withstand the everyday knocks and bumps that they will get - even from your children.  There are 100s of colors, shapes, and sizes to choose from and they vary from the sporty Hugo Green collection to the more urbane Boss Black Collection.  You’ll turn heads when you wear them and your acquaintances will be asking where you got them.  And of course, while you’re looking fashionable, they’re shielding your eyes.

As an aside, the Hugo Boss Company has an interesting history behind it.  The business began in 1923 but struggled in the great depression that struck Germany leading up to the second world war.  In 1931, after suffering liquidation, Boss resurrected his business and this time made a big success of it.  How?  By making and supplying uniforms to the German SS guards, the SA and the Hitler Youth organization. Remarkable beginnings for a company that would go on to be well-known for their tasteful men’s wear and fashion accessories.

Notable Pink Scents You Ought To Try

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Pink-colored scents are stylish, upbeat and young. Every pink scent I encounter is a lush floral bouquet embellished with fruits or musk accords. The mingling of notes creates a dramatic flair to achieve a distinct character way above its peers. That’s the kind of image fragrance houses want to project to the perfume loving public.

Pink fragrances also embodies the contemporary art in the world of perfumery. Mainstream scents, more often than not, are light and ephemeral and not to mention, pink!

There are a lot pink-colored scents in retail nowadays. But what is it about the pink-colored juices that every designer fragrance house comes up with its own collection of pink scents?

Let’s go over some of the popular pink scents in the perfumery:

Thierry Mugler Garden of Stars – Pivoine Angel

This fragrance is peony meets patchouli and vanilla. The melange of florals featuring peony, rose and lily of the valley sets the stage for the aromatic gourmand Angel is known for. It’s slightly sweet, spicy and sprinkled with green accords. Pivoine Angel is part of Angel’s Garden of Stars’ flanker. This lovely pink juice was concocted by Olivier Cresp in 2005.

Femme Hugo Boss
Femme is a well-executed floral-musk fragrance. It’s one of the safest feminine scents around because it veers away from the heady floral category. Femme may smell familiar (reviews say that it smells like other floral fragrances) but in the dry down, it softens into a beautiful elegant floral that blends well with the warm musk.

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb
Flowerbomb is flower power in a very unusual grenade-shaped bottle. The first fragrance by Dutch designers Viktor&Rolf, Flowerbomb is a decadent floral scent where the sweetness is cut by the edgy notes of patchouli. Designed as a floriental fragrance, this feminine scent tops the charts in the women’s perfumes category.  

Lacoste Dream of Pink
Dream of Pink is targetted for young women. It’s fresh, sweet and very trendy. Touch of Pink and Love of Pink are part of Lacoste’s “Pink” scents. This perfume is charged with berries, iced tea, rose, lotus flower and sandalwood. Introduced in 2008, Lacoste Dream of Pink is just right for daytime.

Calvin Klein Euphoria
Euphoria is mysterious, dark and exquisite. The contrast of fruits and florals exude an alluring fragrance most fitting to a sophisticated woman. Some perfumistas say that Euphoria is so Angel-ish (Thierry Mugler). It could be the sweet-smoky accords giving off that distinct chartacter.

There are more pink-colored scents in the perfumery and some have become classics already. And with every year that comes, more and more perfumes are created and added to the already thousands of fragrances in the perfumery. The choices are infinite and sometimes or most of the time rather, they smell the same. It’s not surprising to confuse one designer perfume from its competition.

Review of Armani Code perfume for women

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Armani Code is a fresh, sultry fragrance bursting with a healthy dose of orange-ginger notes that captivate and tickle the scent palate. Introduced in the spring of 2006, this lovely feminine scent has just the right amount of oomph that seduces with its unique floral-oriental combination. Armani Code radiant opening features zesty blood orange, ginger spice and pear sorbet. The heart, with all its subtlety and sweetness, brings out an air of fragrant florals of sambac jasmine. The base fades into a delicious trail of vanilla, lavender honey and precious woods complex.

Oranges fills the head notes giving the scent its citrusy aroma but after a while the orange blossoms fades and smoothly levels off with vanilla and honey. It’s powdery on the dry down but in an elegant kind of way. Armani Code is a borderline gourmand-floral fragrance. The delicious, milk-chocolate aroma is attributed to the warm honey’ed vanilla musk accords.

The distinct sweetness is reminiscent of Hugo Boss Deep Red, a similar fragrance that also falls under this scent category. The oriental base, on the other hand, is similar to the oriental sweetness of Sacre Bleu sans the maturity and smoky incense dry down. One perfume reviewer quipped,” I think that Code was an attempt to be all things to all people, and instead it is a little too sweet for mature women and a little too oriental for young women.” In addition, another perfume reviewer thought that despite Armani Code’s dignified feminine scent the fragrance typifies the usual mainstream floral based perfume: it could get pretty boring with constant use. Further, he commented, “Armani Code doesn’t offer adventure, but it smells lovely and pure. If this is Armani’s code, then I am all about him. Also, it is a much better creation then 90% of what the company has put out all these years. At least, it does not copy anything out there - not all that much at the very least.”Armani Code doesn’t offer adventure, but it smells lovely and pure.

Giorgio Armani’s fragrances like his fashion clothing line boast a collection of classic and luxe scents making the brand one of the most admired signature labels in the perfume industry.
