Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote that “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love”. But what about us ladies? Our fancy often turns to thoughts of fashion, beauty, and quite often fragrance (with love perhaps making an appearance as well). It’s time for something fresh and new and to shake off the heavy winter gear which often includes deep rich fragrances that might seem more than the sunny warmer days call for. Spring is also a popular time for new fragrance releases and here we have a few which with which to scent the season.
Three new perfumes, each corresponding to a gemstone used in the company’s jewelry line. Choose from Fresh (green), a fresh and crisp aquatic floral; Delicate (pink), a soft dewy floral of lotus blossom , peony and rose, that smells very much like its name, and Exotic (amber) a spicy, warm vanilla and amber oriental. According to perfumer and Essences creator Harry Fremont “Each corresponds to a mood or a certain ambiance. From the freshest to the more sensual they can fulfill any fragrance desire.”
Inspired by the iconic Manhattan park, home of the infamous Shake Shack, the bright pink bottle with its removable lime green bracelet suggests packing a spring punch. It’s a light, crisp and occasionally green floral with notes of grape hyacinth, red leaf rose, huckleberry and vetiver root.
