NINA L'EAU by NINA RICCI

Once upon a time there was a Nina…

In 2006, the gourmand fragrance Nina made its debut and, in the span of a few short years, became one of the greatest fragrance success stories and a perfumery classic. The Nina Eau de Toilette in 2006 was followed by an Eau de Parfum, Nina L’Elixir, in 2010.
 

Over the years, the emblematic apple bottle has lost none of its appeal. Young women are as captivated as ever by its tempting and deliciously feminine accents, and collect the highly popular collector’s and limited editions.

A fairy tale come true for this modern princess who sells over 1,500 perfumes around the world each day and gather over 2 million Facebook fans (the social network’s leading fragrance community).

In 2013, a new chapter is unfolding for Nina with an Eau Fraîche, Nina L’Eau, and a new advertising campaign for the line starring a stronger and more sensual princess.

 

NINA L'EAU

Nina L'Eau is a white swirl.

The fragrance for that moment of awakening when girl becomes woman.

It's of course fresh, very fresh, with frosted neroli, but also has the gentle femininity of apple blossom, the voluptuousness of gardenia and the rounded notes of white musk...

The breath of youth, sharp, light and sensual.

A fresh, fruity floral fragrance created by Olivier Cresp, master perfumer for Nina.

A new opus of the delectable fragrance, enclosed in a soft pink frosted glass apple with silver leaves.

SHISEIDO WHITE LUCENT

SHISEIDO TAKES SKIN WHITENING ANOTHER STEP FURTHER

Ten years ago, Shiseido introduced the white Lucent line.  Now, Shiseido evolves whitening technology beyond all previous boundaries.

Introducing the Ultimate whitening repair.

Bits of melanin trapped deep in the skin can cause eneven skin tone and discoloration that never seem to go away.  Inspired by laser technology, White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ seeks melanin pigment and crushes it into fine particles.  The effective ingredient, melanoCrush Energizer, targets dark spots at their roots.

Then, new Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask ejects the crushed melanin from the skin, immediately giving the face a brighter appearance as the melanin is lifted away.

Inspired by iontophoresis, the mask’s Ion Force Complex imbeds whitening ingredients deep within the skin, so they can eject the crushed melanin out.

Crush x Eject = Ultimately spotless white skin

With each use, the combined power of the serum and mask clear the skin more, progressively creating a complexion as clear as newborn skin.

 

CRUSH spots with the Serum

Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+

 

“Crush” is the key word in our skin whitening story.  This powerful serum crushes melanin, to deconstruct skin spots.

 

• Powerful whitening ingredient m-Tranexamic Acid targets persistent spots where over-active melanocytes continuously produce excess melanin. 
• Shiseido’s original whitening ingredient 4MSK helps diminish the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase to reduce melanin production. 
• Multi-Target Vitamin C reduces melanin produced from pre-melanin DHICA. 
• MelanoCrush Energizer targets trouble spots and crushes melanin. 
• 4MSK regulates cell turnover.  Darkened melanin is smoothly removed.

 

EJECT melanin with the Mask

Power Brightening Mask

A new mask developed by Shiseido actually ejects melanin from the skin.  Inspired by ion therapy, new Ion Force Complex enables 4MSK and other effective ingredients in the mask to penetrate surprisingly well into the skin surface, to reduce uneven skin tone and trapped bits of melanin.  This is the power of Ion Force Technology.

Remove the mask and see your skin refreshed, bright and even-toned, as though its excess melanin was lifted and released.

To use:

When removing the mask, take care to keep the essence from dripping. Unfold the mask carefully, as it will not return to its original shape once stretched.

1. Use after softener and/or serum.  Hold the sides of the eye cutouts above the side slits, and position the mask over the eyes and the nose.  Press gently to secure the upper half of the mask.
2. Holding both sides of the bottom half of the mask below the slits, adjust the fit along the jaw line, gently pulling upward toward the temples.  Press over the entire face to secure the mask.
3. Remove the mask after 10 minutes.  Pressing lightly, blend remaining essence into the skin.

To enhance the effectiveness of the whitening ingredients, we have refined our mask shape and whitening formula.  Whitening ingredients penetrate deep into the skin immediately, to brighten every area of the face.  Shiseido’s patented whitening technology creates visibly brighter results even immediately after use.

 

The ultimate whitening pair is thoroughly effective on both brightening and anti-spots.  Combine serum and mask for unparalleled whitening results, especially with regular use.

BVLGARI MAN EXTREME

Bvlgari Man Extreme - The New Fragrance

Bvlgari launches a new fragrance, an expression of extreme freshness at the core of its masculine heritage – Bvlgari Man.

This extreme Mediterranean freshness is composed of elegant, unexpected and scintillating vegetal top notes which include pink grapefruit, calabrian bergamot and cactus sap while the heart exudes radiant and intriguing minerality with white freesia, cardamom and vegetal amber; capturing a distinctive floral masculinity. The dry down, as sophisticated, textured and woody that gives an addictive and masculine trail are of balsa wood, Haitan vetiver and Laotian benzoin.

 

The Bottle

Compared to its predecessor, the new Bvlgari Man has a monolithic silver bottle as if carved from Roman marble – strong, imposing and solemn characterizing the essence of the men of Bvlgari.

This is also highlighted by a new Bvlgari identity with a vibrant, sophisticated silver packaging that contrasts with deep black, heightening its visibility and impact.

Van Cleef & Arpels Feerie

Féerie

Spring Blossom
 

Once upon a time there was a perfume with the fragrance of a fairytale.

In the jeweled kingdom of Van Cleef & Arpels, butterflies flit and petals flutter in the breeze.  The jeweler’s inspiration highlights the charms of nature, which every year reawakens to a perpetual renaissance, rediscovering the immutable return of spring.

In spring, trees bloom, flowers open and nature is once again enchanted.  This is the season when Spring Blossom flourishes and opens in a new, poetic, spring-like version of Féerie.

Freshness, tenderness, yet also romanticism, sign another facet of the Van Cleef & Arpels world.  In perfumes, Féerie is the translation of this natural and poetic universe of charm.

Freshness, nature, love, femininity...

 

Fleeting and fragile, the cherry blossom renews itself each spring before ripening into a fruit. The magnificent flower remains beautiful from the pinnacle of blooming to the day it fades.

Now this scent glorifies the delicate cherry blossom, brought to life by forming a trio with pink peppercorn and litchi. The middle note is a floral bouquet, exhaling magnolia and peony, adorned with a delicious note of wild raspberry. Enveloping and warm, the base is dressed in silky musk and soft tonka bean.

This fruity floral has a delicate air and vivid spring freshness.

The box is dressed in pink, with a pale, pink-petaled cherry blossom drawn with dots of red stamens. This is a landscape where enchanted nature awakens. Playing a harmony that ranges from pink to white, spring practices her scales and wraps the fragrance in tenderness.

A mischievous dragonfly fairy sits on the bottle. Lost in a reverie in her fairytale world, she has the charm of poetry and waking dreams. Enchanting, she announces the arrival of a new, ephemeral season.

For communication, the iconic Féérie bottle sways on a cherry tree branch. With a swinging movement, Féérie seems ready to fly off to the kingdom of scent.

Spring Blossom consecrates the Féerie rite of spring, blooming in an evanescent edition.
