It may be freezing outside but these new fragrances smell warm and cozy.
Remember that line from Clueless when Cher gets ditched by the side of the road after that party and when someone tries to rob her of her jacket, she pleads by saying “This is an Alaïa!” It was a moment that cemented the infamous designer in our hearts forever.
This debut fragrance from Azzedine Alaïa is a nod to his chilhood in Tunisia. Pink pepper, violet and peonie come together to create a fragrance that is as romatic as it is nostalgic. A scent that is sure to conjure up memories of a childhood well spent. Warm enough for winter, light enough for spring.
Cool winter nights are made for espresso and hot chocolate. YSL’s newest addition to their fragrance line Black Opium is a younger and sweet version of the iconic original. Sugar-y sweet vanilla mixes with caffeine creating a scent that is sure to give you an energy surge that will carry you into spring.
