Theirry Mugler’s scent of a woman

MANILA, Philippines - Perfume goes molecular. Ever the groundbreaking perfume house, Thierry Mugler Fragrances used molecular extraction to duplicate the sweet and savory notes of fig and caviar for its empowering scent, Womanity. Other iconoclastic notes like opium smoke, heated granite, crushed flowers and the ozone before a storm make this a must-try. Plus, it’s “green.” Like Angel, the sustainable Eco-Source bottle is refillable and packaging is kept to a minimum — a recycled, recyclable paperboard box. Oh, the Womanity.

Rancé’s ode to love

Starring lily of the valley, ylang-ylang and rose intertwined with passion fruit, vanilla and musk, Helene is a delicate floral-fruity scent with a sensual undertone. An ultra-feminine ode to love.

The Big Apple in DKNY’s small apple

Spring in Central Park and the glorious wash of apple blossoms on the trees — such is the inspiration behind DKNY’s Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, a luscious mix of fruit and flowers.

The delicious apple winds up in a base of blonde woods and the lingering smell of sexy skin. You’ll be instantly smitten, and so will he.
