Beauty Buzz: New Sisley Perfume Eau de Sisley 1, 2 & 3
Sisley unlike many other brands rolling out new perfumes every year or even every other month, Sisley takes its own slow pace and releases a new fragrance every 10-15 years. I am under a strong impression that if Sisley launches something, it is genius and has taken years of development. In one of the interviews Hubert d’Ornano, founder/owner of the brand said "We launch when we have something

Bond No. 9 Astor Place
Gemstone colors, warmer temperatures, shorts, sandals, sunscreen, cool, green grass, daffodils in bloom, fluffy clouds in a clear blue sky - all of these have one thing in common: they remind me of spring. I am pleased and honored to review the new offering from one of my favorite houses - Bond No. 9 Astor Place. It represents springtime in a bottle, although its inspiration comes from 4 Astor Place, New York, NY.
“Astor Place, the scent, an intoxicatingly fresh spring floral that starts out with a bold and unapologetically seductive freesia-poppy-violet leaf composition, and then simmers down into the smooth, steady notes of teakwood and musk. It’s contemporary Downtown all right, with a lot of grace.” Regarding this quote from the press release for the fragrance, I could not have said it better myself. In this case, the marketing description fits perfectly. Floral, flirtatious and graceful drescribe this fresh-as-cut-flowers scent that takes its name from an enclave housing a popular pub, rows of townhomes, a well-known theater and an avante-garde sculpture. They all conspire to create Astor Place - an area buzzing with activity, drawing skateboarders and hairstylists alike.
The juice itself is noteworthy with a long-lasting yet soft floral bouquet that quietly makes its presence known. Violet leaf gives it a freshness reminiscent of dawn on a spring day and although the teakwood and musk are present at the base, the fragrance as a whole possesses a squeaky clean quality.
Astor Place would be a great addition to our
Perfume for the Occasion: For the Office list for its smoothness, freshness and elegance.
Astor Place is indeed a great choice as a Mother’s Day gift. It reminds me of the tender, nurturing arms of a mother, a beautiful and graceful mother that is.
The magnificent bottle design, mimicking the mosaic lamp posts and geometric design of “the Cube” of Astor Place in lively spring colors, rounds out this offering from Bond No. 9. Very well done!
Bond No. 9 Astor Place is currently available at Bond No. 9 in two sizes: 100ml for $220 and 50ml for $145. A limited edition 100mL Swarovski crystal bottle is available for Mother’s Day for $300.

Beauty Review: Shiseido Hydro-Powder Eye Shadow
Recently I’ve been drawn like a magnet to eye shadows! Hardly a week passed after buying Guerlain’s spring palette, I found myself at Shiseido’s counter checking out their Hydro-Powder Eye-Shadow. As I’ve mentioned, I had a bad (sticky and creasy) experience with a creamy eyeshadow previously so I was a bit worried about giving a cream shadow another chance … Here is my review…Color: Spring
