Profumi orientali: cuore della cultura olfattiva

I profumi hanno origine in Paesi lontani e vengono spesso associati ai ricordi e alle emozioni.

Spesso quando spruzziamo un profumo chiudiamo gli occhi, concentriamo la mente sull'olfatto, assaporiamo fragranze e aromi. E poi ricordiamo. Il passato, un momento, un'esperienza. Un profumo è anche questo: memoria.

LabSolue: il nuovo Perfume Laboratory all'interno dell'Hotel Magna Pars Suites Milano

Perfume is emotional, personal, culture, memory and experience. LabSolue is the new Perfume Laboratory: a fascinating place where the guests of the Hotel Magna Pars Suites Milano (here) and the curious travelers can discover and buy Perfumes and Perfumed Candles with floral, fruity or woody hints, inspired by the Suites of the hotel, as well as the exquisite Acqua Adornationis body care line.

A laboratory in all respects where you can take an olfactory journey between funnels, tubes, colored amps, works on perfume art and blue dictionaries, to browse, during the preparation of your own essence, on elegant purple velvet armrests. A fascinating place that conquers and enchants with its history, a dream that interprets a past of emotions, talent and craftsmanship.

The architecture of the Laboratory follows a creative and at the same time strict design. A wooden cabinet, inspired by Marvin's memorable pharmaceutical lab, keeps old-fashioned pieces from the 1960s belonging to the family business store and framed the workbench.

The wood heat combined with the strength of iron and steel is the structure of the four "islands", a distinctive element of the Perfume Laboratory, where customers can find their way to discover, along an inebriating olfactory route, 39 woody, fruity or floral olfactory notes that characterizes the hotel's environments and suites.

There are places that enter in the heart at first glance, places where you can breathe and live the beauty in all its forms, places that are unlikely to be forgotten.
In Milan, in the heart of the design district, there is a "jewel" called Hotel Magna Pars Suites Milano, the first Hotel à Parfum belonging to the prestigious luxury collection of Small Luxury Hotels of The World.

All different but united from offering the best location, high-quality, personalized service and an authentic way to discover the destination. And so elegant and classy hotel as the Magna Pars Suites Milan could only be part of this fascinating collection.
It is for this elegance, for this simple luxury, for the perfume, always different, that envelops every environment and enters in the mind, for white furniture, for the perfume laboratory, the corridors beams and railings steel that resemble so much a ship -and to my love for the sea- but I would not have wanted to leave.
From the outside a huge glass wall reveals the flavor of the past: post-industrial elements, original walls of what at the time was the perfume factory of Martone family.
The love for perfumes, for art and for the hospitality brought the family to found the five-star hotel Magna Pars Suites Milano, to live a unique experience through all the senses.

Acqua Alpes: la freschezza sulla pelle

Imagine the sapphire sky of spring, white clouds that goes well with the white snow, the fresh air coming from the glaciers, the Tyrolean Alps, the sun's warmth and purity of blue water flowing in flower-filled meadows.

Imagine then to be able to combine all of these unique feelings and "wear" them every time you feel that need of freshness, freedom, naturally, delicacy. They are the scented creations Acqua Alpes inspired by own landscapes of the Tyrolean Alps, whose secret is hidden right there, between the pristine peaks of the Alps, where is the purest and crystalline water, ables to exalt the most sought after natural essences .

It takes about 20 years for rainwater to infiltrate into the mountains is purified and only then enriched with trace elements: ready to be mixed to create a line of unique fragrances, created following ancient recipes combining the most exclusive ingredients.

Dior Event - Spring Must Haves

Last week, at the QC spa in Milan, I was able to discover the must-haves of the spring according Dior.
An elegant room chanting spring, five corners dedicated to perfumes, make up, creams, nail in the world and the beautiful flowers that make up the Dior fragrances.
An evening of beauty and company of Dior experts that have revealed us the colors and trends for the summer season, the story of the iconic Miss Dior perfume and how to have a fresh, radiant and rested skin.
As a fantasy of bubbles, the iconic polka dots transmit their joyous vitality to the make-up Dior for the summer collection 2016. A season of an hedonistic beauty where sandy shade and milky hues blend with the liveliness of a ultra colored palette.

#MFW - My Burberry experience

When I showed you the first outfit worn during the Milan Fashion Week (here), I told you that I had participated at Burberry event for the presentation of the new collection.

An evening in the Via Montenapoleone boutique, spent among clothes, makeup, accessories, chatter, laughter and drinks in the elegant terrace overlooking the internal courtyard.

The magic ingredients for a perfect evening, were all there: friends, fashion and so much glamor.

The new collection of make-up 2016 sees radiant and illuminating palette with lace motifs and velvety lips of dark shades, inspired by the "Functionregalia" fashion show.

Needless to say I lost my head for Burberry fragrances, especially My Burberry, inspired by the iconic trench coat. A fragrance that captures the essence of a London garden after the rain.

#IAMPOISON - Dior cocktail party

"I am not a girl, I am poison"

One Thursday evening, February 4. The new fragrance by Dior, Poison Girl. Four cities and four exceptional location: L'Archivio Storico in Naples, the Coco Loco in Rome, the Fashion Café in Milan and the One Apple of Turin.
An exclusive party, to discover the new fragrance by Dior and the cocktail created in collaboration with Belvedere, Belvedere Poison.
Poison Girl. Much more than a perfume, a reminder of senses so strong to create havoc. An ode to the rebellious beauty, the smiles and the attitudes of extreme freedom. A perfume for those who can lead, for those who live it so casually and bold, for those who walk free on the streets of the metropolis, playing chase and let chase, in a nightlife without beginning or end.
A scent that speaks of a sexy, cool, scratchy, cheeky soul but always feminine.
"Poison Girl is a delicious reminder", a poisonous and delicious floral, "a sensual trap that avoids the sweet notes too sugarcoated. That torments and upsets the senses."
And so, on that Thursday evening in Turin, between electronic music and bitter orange fragrance, tonka bean, rose and vanilla, I let myself be seduced by the flavor of Belvedere Poison cocktail, letting me steal the heart from the new Dior fragrance that hovered in the air, intoxicating rosy talk of all the poison girls.

PROFUMINO experience

As you know I have a passion for perfume, I buy one and the next day it would take another one. It's stronger than me, then collect them "records" ;) I have of all sizes, large and mini, and all the brands, or almost.
I love change them often, depending on the season but also mood. The scent, to me, is a real accessory, therefore, when I get ready in the morning, carefully choosing the outfit of the day, I like to have a choice of perfume to choose the "perfect" that will accompany me throughout the day! Yes, I'm crazy, I know! Everyone has their own quirks ;)
Usually I buy a perfume or two every season, if I can not decide even 3, but this happens only in summer, when brands, in my opinion, give its best!
So a few weeks ago, I found Profumino.it, an online perfumery with branded products discounted up to 70% compared to the prices of traditional perfumery.
Profumino.it offers a wide range of perfumes from all the best brands, including limited editions that, very often, are hard to find. In addition to perfumes, you can find cosmetics, creams, sunscreen, gift sets, hair care products and much more, both for her and for him. And thanks to special offers, still in force, and the loyalty points you can save. You know, the wallet of a woman weeps always when it comes to cosmetics and shoes, is not it?! ;)
Are you curious to know what I got? Yes, a perfume!
Do you want to know what? I will reveal in the next post!
Let's see if you have learned to know me... the perfume that I chose, and which I will talk soon, can be found in the images below! Which is?

NIYO&CO. #youritalianbeauty

Hello princesses! Today I want to tell you about a brand of makeup and beauty that I got to know and test: NIY&CO. How many of you know it? Surely the Roman friends will already have heard about it, right?!

NIY&CO. is the real Italian perfumery, an established company in the perfume world with over 40 years of experience and with more than 2000 items including make-up and accessories, cosmetics, fragrances and perfumes, face and body treatments, skin care plus a men and children line.

Selected products and high quality at affordable prices, these are the strengths of NIYO&CO.

But we see the inspiration of this brand:

-N = New, a new concept in perfumery

-I = Italian, a brand completely Made in Italy

-Y = Young, because it's a young, dynamic and fresh brand

-O = Original, because it is the only franchise that offers a full range of products designed and manufactured in Italy

-&CO = Convenient

From these 5 points it was born the world's NIYO&CO.

Where you can find NIYO&CO. products? On the new online shop (http://www.niyoandco.com/it/) or at a retail store in Rome, Arezzo and Naples.

In the next post I will talk extensively of creams and makeup products received and I'm trying, do not miss them! 

Big & little DOLCE

I had already presented you Dolce, the newcomer in Dolce&Gabbana house (here) and as promised... here it is! 

The mother and the child, in addition to my collections of scents: the great and mignon! 

One day I'll show you! ;) 

I'm going to perfume myselfe with two drops of the beloved Dolce, and I start the day! 

See you soon

Dolce by Dolce&Gabbana

Dolce. Sweet in name and in fact. Stefano and Domenico will have thought about this, for their new fragrance, fresh and feminine like whiter flowers of Sicily.

A perfume that smells of memories. That of tailoring the father of Domenico, near Palermo, where the passion for fashion began.

The name represents a sensory journey into the heart of the DNA of the brand, Sicily. Here is a riot of warmth that comes up with the freshness of neroli leaves and flowers of papaya, and then combine the rich smell of white water lily and white narcissus to rich full-bodied of the white amarillys (used for the first time in a fragrance). The warmth of musky notes and nuances of the cashmeran, then, with a slight trail of light woody notes counterbalance floral accents .

The cap also white blossoms like a flower on the bottle sinuous, while the name, Dolce, is a signature in cursive black , autograph of  Domenico's father.

Surely this will be the fragrance that will accompany my spring days, I have already won.

DESIRE by Dolce&Gabbana

DESIRE, the new floral oriental fragrance by Dolce&Gabbana.

Strong and heady notes that start with the freshness and sweetness of tangerine, litchee, bergamot and lily of the valley going to melt into a heart dominated by the elegance of the lily, the opulence of Indian tuberose and softness of jasmine, combined with the sweetness of the plum.

In the background expresses the intriguing sensuality of the fragrance, with a meeting of caramel and vanilla with the enveloping sandalwood, warm musk and Cistus labdanum. The whole is enclosed in a black bottle and gold, from the classic form of the line The One.

Desire evokes a world of light and shadow, impetus and temptation. Embodies a confident woman, who lives with excitement and full of desire, instinctive and natural.

A sensual and passionate woman but also a perfect mildness, as the spokesmodel Scarlett Johansson.

And with a name like that, it can not be mine!
