About two months ago, I was at the mall and purchased a perfume set as a gift for one of my coworkers. With my purchase, I received a sample of Stella by Stella McCartney. Stella Perfume is named for the designer daughter of Beatles legend Paul McCartney. This alone, is reason enough for me to love this perfume! When I got home, I opened my Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney to see what it smelled like. I read about Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney in various fashion magazines, but I didn't think to try it. When I opened the sample, I was immediately greeted with the sweetest and lightest hint of roses and one of my favorite flowers, peony. There are too few perfumes that contain the amazing scent of peony. Peonies for me, bring back so many memories of my backyard growing up, because we had them growing in different colors all over the yard.
After I smelled the Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney, I was disappointed that I didn't smell it in Sephora, because I would have purchased it right then and there. As it turned out, the next day, I had to go back to Sephora, because I had second thoughts about the gift that I purchased for my coworker, and I returned it and got her a different gift set from the same store. While there, I decided to purchase the Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney. I wasn't sure that I wanted to spend the $48.00 for the small 1 ounce Eau de Parfum Purse Spray, but since I was so crazy about the fresh peony and rose scent, I didn't mind too much. Almost immediately after I got into the car, I sprayed some on. I have to say that sometimes perfumes that are rose scented are not my favorite. In fact, to me, they can be overpowering and sickening. Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney was very different, in that it was so fresh and soft. This a very feminine perfume and it is not strong at all. I also love the purple bottle that it comes in!
I was very surprised that my daughter liked Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney. She very seldom likes perfumes that contain hints of rose. She finds them too strong and not very youthful. I must say, that she loved this perfume, and even wore a little when she went on a little shopping trip with her friends. She is familiar with Stella McCartney as a fashion designer, and I think this was one of the reasons that she gave the perfume a chance. She likes Stella McCartney very much as a fashion designer and I think that the fact that the perfume had Stella's name on it, it gave it credibility in my daughter's eyes. Anyway, the Stella Perfume smelled even better on my daughter. Maybe this is because she only put on a little spray of it, or perhaps that she is younger and her body chemistry differs from mine.
My husband also loved the Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney. He said it smelled very fresh and he loved the flowery scent of roses. He couldn't believe how much this perfume smelled of fresh roses and peony flowers, and commented that even though rose scented perfumes reminded him of a grandmother, this perfume was not too "mature" smelling. I was happy that my family enjoyed this perfume as much as I do. I will continue to use Stella by Stella McCartney. I will buy another bottle when I run out with this one. I only regret that I didn't buy the bigger bottle. Next time, I will.
She looks good. No doubt about it. Keep doing that yoga thing. Breath of FIre et. al....
Yes. A bit jealous. But. I'm approaching fifty. No where near as thin. Is that important? I put that out there in the great void. Does it matter that I can't fit into size 6? or size 8? or 10? or in some stores a size 12? To whom are they selling their perfume and water and clolthes and shoes? Sarah Palin, Michele Bacfhmann, Ann Coulter? Gratuitious marketing is what I see. I watched the women who walked into the Bachman/Palin fundraiser in Minneapolis last week. I was protesting out on the street.
These women were trying really, really hard to wear the latest fashion and the highest heels. None of them could pull it off. I believe what Gail Collins wrote in the New York Times this week: a lot of people (mostly women) who attended the rally wish their ass looked as good in high priced jeans.
It's all about the woman's body. And how it is sold. Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are closer to the Hollywood ethos than they think.
And they sell themselves as Middle America simple folks.
Give me a break.
Jen explained, “It’s been a year-and-a-half journey. I’d been asked to do things before, and it never felt organic. But when Leon [Falic, president of the Falic Fashion Group] approached me to be involved with the process from inception to fruition, I thought, ‘This could be a creative expression.’ And it’s turned out to be an extension of myself as opposed to slapping my name on something.”
“The first perfumes I ever wore were Miss Dior and Anais Anais. My mother wore Calèche and my grandmother used a body splash that came in a big yellow jug that she kept by the bathtub. Those were very strong scents. Now I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan.”
She added, “I want people to go, ‘What is that? You smell great!’ But most of all I wanted it to smell natural.”
