bijan NUDE will be available in Fall 2007 exclusively at Perfumania and perfumania.com

Lavanila fragrances are also formulated via natural means. Unlike other fragrances on the market, they are completely free of chemically-laden alcohol, petrochemicals and commonly used synthetic compounds and instead contain natural ingredients such as pure essential oils, fresh fruit extracts, spring water, and organic sugar cane alcohol.

The collection currently includes three scents – Pure Vanilla, Vanilla Grapefruit and Vanilla Blossom – each of which comes in a stunning outer casing sleeve designed by renowned gallery artist Lane Twitchell. This sleeve features a cut-out, three-dimensional design of cascading vanilla orchids, and is slipped over a colorful box that reflects the fragrance it holds (Pure Vanilla is housed in cream; Vanilla Grapefruit is in pink; and Vanilla Blossom is in green). Here is a closer look at each scent, at least one of which is destined to be perfect for your mom:

• Pure Vanilla – top notes of freesia petals; mid-notes of tonka bean and heliotrope; and base notes of Madagascar vanilla.

A fresh new sensual scent worth getting excited about! Its warm notes of floral are smooth and breathtaking. Sean Combs has taken his impeccable sense of style to create the same fever for his new women’s fragrance as his No.1-selling Unforgivable by Sean John.  He has work through e very stage of development to ensure that only the best will be delivered.  His choices of stirring blends of Bergamot, Pina Colada, Orange, Grapefruit, Apple-Rose are splendid to the senses. The Sean John woman is strong, sexy, passionate…“she makes an impact when she enters a room, a woman who picks the words that she uses carefully, and when she speaks, she says what she means. She finds a scent she loves and she sticks to it. It’s part of her lifestyle, she’d rather wear ‘her’ signature scent or nothing at all,” said Combs. The scent is memorizing and captivates the essence of true modern femininity.

An architectural mix of modern and classic, UNFORGIVABLE WOMAN, is a pearly champagne-colored bottle housed inside a shiny champagne-colored carton. The bottle packaging was created by Sean Combs to complement the male version of UNFORGIVABLE and to evoke a strong, yet soft and feminine aesthetic.

The UNFORGIVABLE WOMAN is developed into three desirable dimensions.

THE INNOCENCE
Cool citrus and floral inspired by the sun-drenched Seychelles Islands create luxurious layers of scent through a delicate fusion of the rarest ingredients. Sophistication is achieved through the soft juxtapositions of Bergamot, Orange, Neroli, Cassis, Grapefruit, Apple, Cucumber, Piña Colada and Orange Flower.

THE TEMPTATION
The ultimate aphrodisiac. As characteristic of the scent as it is of the woman. Sensuality and femininity are expressed through our own blend of Jasmine, Violet, Muguet, Freesia and Cyclamen creating fresh notes that caress the skin and intoxicate the senses.

THE HEAT
Creamy and warm, the essence of spice and opulent textures are experienced with the ultra-rich mingling of A m b e r, Seychelles Coco de Mer, Vanilla Tears and Tonka Beans. Woodnotes of Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Oakmoss combine with the visceral seduction of Pa t c h o u l i , Vetiver and Iris.
