The old saying, "April Showers Bring May Flowers" might be true, but instead of sending your mom an arrangement that will be gone in a few days send her some flowers she can enjoy throughout the year. No, of course I don't mean fake flowers, I am talking about a fabulous fragrance.
Some of my favorites are from Ineke. Ineke is a classically-trained perfumer who creates beautiful, original scents in her independent studio in San Francisco. She studied perfumery at ISIPCA in Versailles, France (the only official school of perfumery), under the guidance of Yves de Chiris who also helped her train at Quest thereafter and with formidable mentors such as Dominique Ropion and Isabel Doyen.She apprenticed for three years at a fragrance house in Paris, making pilgrimages to Grasse, perfume capital of the world. Ineke finally decided to move to San Franciso, where she makes her luminous, modern fragrances. Each fabulous fragrance is consecutively named after a letter of the alphabet: A - After My Own Heart, with floral notes like lilac; B - Balmy Days and Sundays, a light, fresh green scent perfect for warmer days; C - Chemical Bonding, a citrus based scent; and E - Evening Edged in Gold, a sultry scent with amber notes. So, you are wondering about D...well that is Derring Do, a fresh clean scent for men.
Not only are each of Ineke's fragrances fabulous, but the bottles and boxes are works or art themselves. Each is a different color to go with the scent it holds and tells the "story" of the fragrance inside. Capped off with a Bakelite top, they are like works of art themselves.
So, if you are looking for something fresh and different for MOM, or your sister, girlfriend, of just a bestie who needs some TLC this Mother's Day, this is a gift to make her feel like a pampered princess every time she uses it! Available in Atlanta at Entebello Apothecary & Spa.
