The fragrance you wear says a lot about you and with over 600 new perfumes created each year, there are plenty to weed through when searching for the one. In my opinion, your scent is more personal than any piece of clothing or accessory you could possibly wear―it is incredibly intimate and specific. When a perfume is created the right way and worn by the right person, it is like a song―very telling of one’s mood and frame of mind.
Along with 50 other eager women, I was treated to a private lunch at Saks Fifth Avenue for French perfumer Kilian Hennessy. I recently interviewed him for the magazine, but I must say meeting him in person only fueled my obsession with the By Kilian collection of amazing perfumes―maybe it was his witty humor, or his personal explanations for each fragrance, or that lovely accent. Whatever it was, everyone in the room was charmed and smelling delightful.
With names like Prelude to Love, Straight to Heaven, Love & Tears (one of my personal favorites), and Cruel Intentions, you can’t help letting your imagination go as you dab each scent on your wrists. And like any true perfume, it changes on the skin as the day (or night) goes on.
If you’re in Saks Fifth Avenue at Plaza Frontenac (the only store in Missouri to carry the line), I suggest stopping by the fragrance department to sample the 11 scents. For more information visit http://www.bykilian.com.
