    Such a fun morning with @emilykvokovic on CHCH Mor Such a fun morning with @emilykvokovic on CHCH Morning Live today. We discussed the best women's fragrance launches of 2023 and Emily is a true fragrance enthusiast and is as nice in person as she is on tv!! #davelackiebeauty
    Big congrats to @jeanpaulgaultier for creating one Big congrats to @jeanpaulgaultier for creating one of the best women's fragrances of 2023. Gaultier Divine is beautifully blended and balanced. It's remarkably difficult to get the perfect ratio of floral and gourmand notes in an eau de parfum. Even 1/100th of an ounce change can radically change the scent. The creamy meringue note is just sweet enough to create an addictive facet without becoming too sweet and syrupy. It's worth testing if you visit a fragrance counter in the coming days. #gaultierdivine #bestfragranceof2023 #jeanpaulgaultier #fallfragrance
    Gaultier Divine by Jean Paul Gaultier is one of th Gaultier Divine by Jean Paul Gaultier is one of the best new fragrances of 2023. If you like Mugler’s Angel you are going to love this new sweet floral gourmand with a kiss of salty sea air. Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, the scent opens with juicy red berries and bergamot which blend beautifully with lily, jasmine and ylang-ylang. But it is the dash of creamy sweet meringue that gives this scent its addictive quality. It’s so delicious you almost want to eat it! The floral, fruit and gourmand notes are then layered over musk and patchouli. It’s beautifully blended. Even better, the fragrance is vegan, cruelty-free, and boasts 90% natural origin ingredients responsibly sourced. 

I had the honour of having lunch with Jean-Paul several years ago when he was in Toronto for a fashion event. He is honestly the happiest human being I’ve ever met. There is such joy to him and he is always laughing about something. He told me he’s always searching vintage stores and markets on his global travels for inspiration. An antique button, a military jacket or a crystal perfume bottle can inspire a new project. 

The face of Gaultier Divine is Yara Shahidi who was named to Time Magazine’s Most Influential Teens of 2016 for her activism and social justice work. A Harvard graduate and creator of eighteen x 18, a platform to encourage young U.S. people to vote, Yara is an inspiration to millions. 

Gaultier Divine arrives in stores and online this month at Shoppers, Hudson’s Bay, Jean Coutu and London Drugs. #davelackiebeauty #jeanpaulgaultier #gourmandfragrance #iamdivine #fallfragrance

    Montblanc’s new Explorer Platinum eau de parfum Montblanc’s new Explorer Platinum eau de parfum is already becoming one of the top-selling men’s fragrances of fall 2023. It’s a fresh, modern woody-amber fragrance for him built around a refreshing clary sage note. Violet leaf adds a hint of green while the cedarwood is smooth and masculine. The composition was crafted by three master perfumers: Bruno Jovanovic, Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin. You’ll even notice a hint of cypress which adds an airy crispy accord. When perfumers want to create the effect of snow and ice, they will often use clary sage which has the aroma of crystalline freshness. 

The ad campaign is particularly interesting as it was shot by photographer Mathie César in the Italian Dolomites, partly in the the Messner Museum. Futurist architect Zaha Hadid designed this one-of-a-kind structure celebrating the majestic summits of the Alps and Dolomite mountain ranges. It’s an incredible building perched on a mountain top. Explorer model Rein Langeveld returns as the face of the new fragrance. #davelackiebeauty #montblancexplorereplatinum #mensfragrance #fallmensfragrance
    This is one of the most beautiful women’s fragra This is one of the most beautiful women’s fragrance launches of 2023. New York fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez has just unveiled ‘all of me’, an elegant floral-woody-musk eau de parfum for her built around an exquisite rose note. “I kept dreaming of a rose – the most beautiful rose, yet an abstract rose,” he says. He enlisted the help of perfumers Dora Baghriche and Daphné Bugey to create a scent that completely reinvents the floral fragrance family. Just as he introduced an entirely new style of chypre twenty years ago, ‘all of me’ reimagines the floral fragrance for a new generation of women.

Here's what is exciting about this fragrance: the perfumers decided to create a floral like no other by combining the iconic scent of rose with another flower, traditionally not used in feminine perfumery. “Our desire was to transcend  the codes of fragrance by pairing the softness and timeless femininity of rose with a quintessentially masculine ingredient – geranium,” explains Dora Baghriche. “Geranium is a multi-faceted note with natural olfactory bridges to rose,” add Bugey. “By fusing geranium with this iconic flower, we have created a more assertive and complex rose – the rose becomes racier, more modern, denser and deeper. In this way, the geranium brings an edge and singularity to the scent, giving the wearer a confidence to express her unique self.”
I’ve interviewed Dora in New York and she is known for reinventing ingredients and processing them in unique ways. She once took a raspberry note and froze it, creating a chilled fruity aroma. She’s kind of like a rock star of perfumery.

‘All of me’ blends notes of magnolia, rose, Bourbon Geranium, tuberose, milky-white musk, velvety amber and sandalwood. It’s beautifully composed. #narcisorodriguezallofme #davelackiebeauty @narciso_rodriguez #fragrancetrend #stylishfragrance #perfume # fragrance #floralfragrancetrend

I met Megan years ago when she was marketing and PR director for Benefit Cosmetics. She's now Senior Manager, External Communications, Brands, Food & Beauty for Loblaw Companies. She oversaw the Shoppers Beauty preview for editors and influencers in Toronto today where niche and luxe makeup, skincare and fragrance brands presented their fall and holiday collections.  I had no idea Shoppers now carries Jason Wu Beauty! There are some really cute sets coming from the Quo brand this year as well. #davelackiebeauty @lexprcanada
