We've heard it before, and we're hearing it again, but this time...is it more 'true' than before? Skip the gym and lose weight with a new slimming fragrance launched by French perfume house Robertet and Veld's.  The fragrance named Prends Moi, meaning 'take me' in French, promises to slim and trim with pleasure.
How does it work? Apparently the parfum releases B-endorphins in the skin, which you may already know theoretically make you happy, which in hopes, will decrease the desire to overeat.

Other ingredients in the parfum include caffeine, carnitine, and spirulina extract.  All of these together formulate into a "slimming complex" that works to activate enzymes involved in your body's ability to break down fat.
Will you choose to diet, exercise, or spray some perfume...that's all up to you...but do tell, which one would you choose? Would you try Prends Moi by Robertet and Veld's?

Now, more than ever, does it feel we are changing up our manicures to try the next trendy nail look. But when it comes to doing the switch-a-roo, we hate the fumes of the nail polish removers, don't you? That's why we were more than ecstatic to find out there are some polish removers that DON'T give off a nasty, alchohol chemical fume odor. 

A few favorites include those that smell of floral bouquets, candy, and some fab fruity aromas.
Go ahead, pause, and take a sniff of roses.  Deborah Lippmann has a product called The Stripper Lavender Lacquer Remover Twist-Lock Pump that is ever so lightly scented with a calming and hydrating lavender scent.
Essie, well known nail polish brand, has a 'Naturally Clean Purifying Polish Remover' that disgueses it's removing chemical scents with a sweet pea perfume.

Design House: Christian Audigier

Year Introduced: 2008

Fragrance Notes: amber, bergamot, mandarin, clary sage, thuja, sequoia
Recommended Use: Casual

Scent Life: 6-10 hours

The Ed Hardy flagship for men is the aromatic embodiment of Christian Audigier’s iconic brand: aggressively masculine, vibrant, cool and sexy.
Machismo emanates effortlessly as a musk buoyed in overt amber overtones, while mandarin and sage provide the perfect balancing act—cool and light. A dash of sequoia, too, contributes to the cologne’s natural nuances, though the reason for the titanic tree’s presence, and not-so-overt symbolism, may be, to again, add to the aura of Ed Hardy’s now infamous showmanship.

Design House: Tommy Hilfiger 

Year Introduced: 2001 

Fragrance Notes: a pine scent with clementines and lime as top notes 

Recommended Use: Daytime, casual 

Scent Life: 6-10 hours

A fragrance that evokes youth and exuberance with its airy, yet distinct, burst of citrus; a pine scent countervails T’s fruity overtones, offering a sense of masculinity emerging beneath its carefree exterior. By anchoring this scent in notes that are more subtly aromatic, Hilfiger has developed a scent that can be applied, and worn, casually, as its inherent lightness leaves little fear of coming off too strong.

Design House: Hanae Mori

Year Introduced: 1995
Fragrance Notes: Patchouli & sandalwood

Recommended Use: Casual

Scent Life: 6-10 hours

This perfume smells great, different than anything else I've ever tried.  It's feminine but not overly sweet or floral; a moderate scent that is an oriental spicy fragrance, definitely great for all year round.
When wearing this fragrance, expect a feeling of happiness...all day, as this a long lasting lovely scent. 

We didn't have to go undercover for this one, the new James Bond 007 fragrance launches next month at Harrods and aims to "capture the mojo of the on-screen and literary here". 
Proctor and Gamble Co. and Eon Productions (the production company behind all the Bond Films) have come together to create the new scent, in perfect timing for the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film frachise? Coincidence? We think not.

The fragrance contains notes of fresh apple, caradom, sandalwood, and vetiver.
According to WWD, “The aromatic feugere fragrance family came to prominence in the Sixties — it was unmistakably masculine — mossy and ferny,” said Bill Brace, vice president of fashion brands for P&G Prestige.
“But that was a while ago, so we wanted to move it on and give it much more modern and sophisticated shell, which is why there’s fresh apple, cardamom, sandalwood and vetiver.”
The fragrance was created in tandem with Givaudan and Eon Productions.
The eau de toilette will be available in 30-ml., 50-ml., 75-ml. and 125-ml. sizes ranging in price from $30 for the 30-ml. bottle to $65 for the largest size.

The newly relaunched Pour Femme fragrance is finely tuned version of the original scent, with neroli and rasperry notes in the mix.
