Here’s a new fragrance collection that just laun

Here’s a new fragrance collection that just launched at Sephora that has a fascinating backstory. Fresh Cosmetics co-founders Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg opened a bohemian-themed, 11-room boutique hotel in Hudson, New York several years ago when, after extensive travels, they felt like a highly curated hotel experience that bridged hospitality, lifestyle and fragrance was missing. The resulting artistic hotel features a mix of vintage, one-of-a-kind antique pieces, restored heirlooms and new pieces of furniture and art creating a cozy and warm ambience. Condé Nast Traveler magazine reviewed it as: “You don’t just stay at the hotel, you can take the hotel home with you.”

Fragrance played a big part of the hotel’s experience from the start with a series of clean, gender-inclusive fragrances with a modern and sophisticated character. Lev Glazman designed the scents with rich, sultry notes amplified by arousing pheromones for undeniably sensual scents. They remind me a little of Malin & Goetz’s fragrances. The star eau de parfum is Lover, a warm woody scent with notes of creamy sandalwood, luscious fig, vetiver, jasmine, narcissus, and a hint of oud. I can tell you each fragrance is beautifully blended. These are worth checking out at @sephoracanada #davelackiebeauty #themakerfragrances #themaker @themakerhotel

It's almost tinted moisturizer season in Canada. And one of my favourites is Bobbi Brown’s Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint SPF15. Think of this as the next generation of tinted moisturizer as it is packed with skin-nourishing ingredients, offers 12 hours of hydration and looks natural. Even better it is sweat proof and humidity resistant. Available in 16 shades from very fair to deep. #davelackiebeauty

This just may be the most beautiful eye palette of spring 2024. Dior has just unveiled its Blooming Boudoir Limited Edition Diorshow 10 Couleurs Palette. The compact boasts a couture pattern created by artist Pietro Ruffo with a lush floral decoration with baroque aesthetic. The shadows themselves are a creamy and comfortable powder texture enriched with cornflower floral water. A true work of art. #davelackiebeauty

The term ‘nude’ in the world of perfumery can

The term ‘nude’ in the world of perfumery can be a little confusing. Some brands will use the word as a marketing hook to attract attention. They will often shoot a scandalous ad campaign and just add the word in the title to help sell the product. But perfumers use the term in a very different way. A ‘nude’ scent is one that has a second-skin quality. Take the new Narciso Rodriguez for her musc nude fragrance for example. It was specially created to blend naturally with the skin. “The fragrance has a magnificent ‘second skin’ quality – as if it were a natural complement to the wearer’s skin,” explains perfumer Sonia Constant, the nose behind this new scent. “The heart of musk, combined with the other notes of the fragrance ‘mimics’ the scent of the skin, creating an intimate and comforting effect.” This is a style of fragrance where you have to lean in to smell it. It doesn’t typically leave a long trail of scent as you walk. Instead it stays close to the skin creating an intimate effect.

Narcisco’s for her musc nude gently layers notes of white flowers, jasmine, rosy pink pepper, velvety Damask rose, soft orange flower, powdery musk, tonka bean, patchouli and warm cedarwood. It’s soft and comforting. #davelackiebeauty #springfragrance #nudefragrance #perfume #fragrancetrend
