Parfums de Rosine Star Bouquets

What makes a coveted perfume?

Nicole Kidman clamors for it and Donatella Versace always buys more than one bottle at a time. The precious blooms are captured in a frosted crystal flacon reminiscent of a glamorous era. And rumor has it that an Academy Award-winning hunk can’t do without it and has someone sent into Barney’s New York regularly to pick up a bottle.

We are talking about Perfums de Rosine’s extraordinary Rose d’Ete, just one in a line of rose fragrances that has captivated the noses of even the most discriminating people. 

Just consider the history behind this precious line. Marie-Heine Rogeon worked for prestigious houses like Givenchy and Pierre Balmain and reintroduced Les Parfums de Rosine in 1991, utilizing formulations originally created in the 1920's by Paul Poirot.  Inspired by the yellow rose in full bloom, Rose d’Ete includes top notes of green apple and bergamot, heart notes of yellow rose, mimosa and lotus, and base notes of musc.  The French fragrance house also complements the perfumes with highly aromatic candles to enhance the experience.

Rose d’Ete retails for $95 for 100 ml and $70 for 50 ml eau de parfum. Available in fine specialty stores; for store information call 800.848.6835

Ah, Diamonds!

You can think of yourself as single and unhappy or, as glam designer Ruta Fox interprets it, available and happy.  This explains why the 14-karat white gold and diamond ring featuring eleven round, full-cut diamonds has become the must-have accessory and affirmation of our time!

Forget those dreamy, syrupy, heavily orchestrated ads which espouse diamonds just for those who have found soul mates.  Diamonds are being purchased and worn more and more by single women.  "I figured married and engaged women have their rings, why shouldn’t single women have a ring to call their own?" says Fox.

But the singles aren’t the only ones boasting the AH ring on their pinkies.  Kirsten Dunst, Eve, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Esposito, Anne Hathaway, Carrie Anne Moss, Joy Bryant, Minnie Driver, Selma Blair – are all smitten by the eye-catcher. 

Available exclusively by calling the toll-free number 1-800-310-9694 or visiting divinediamonds.com and is priced at $295.00.
