When you think of Swarovski crystals, you think of sparkle, right? So it only makes sense that Swarovski would take this as their starting point when setting out to create a signature scent. In partnership with the Clarins Fragrance Group, Swarovski developed the aptly named Aura, “a luminous fragrance, which is light and feminine. Described as a fruity floral, Aura is a complex combination of amber, white musk, lychee, white tuberose and pink pepper that would be an ideal choice for your wedding day! In addition to the fragrance (and accompanying body products), Swarovski has also created two lip glosses and a body shimmer that come packaged in crystal-adorned pendants. If you’re still searching for bridesmaids’ gifts these would be perfect! All the new releases will be available this August at Swarovski boutiques and The Bay across Canada.
If you’re in the market for an intoxicating wedding-day scent, you’re in luck—couture designer Elie Saab has created his first-ever fragrance, Le Parfum, and it is simply stunning. With notes of orange blossom, jasmine, patchouli, cedar and rose honey, this addictive scent is at once feminine and complex. Model Anja Rubik stars in the ad campaign, and she truly embodies the fragrance and the story behind it: “Tonight, the whole world is waiting for her. She is floating over the city, radiant. Wearing a sublime chiffon dress that seems to carry her. She moves forward, bathed in light, making her way through the crowd. The light fabric shines like a brilliant veil against the darkness of the city. She is living this exceptional moment with intensity.” Doesn’t that scenario sound almost like your wedding day? Everyone eagerly anticipating your arrival, as you step out of a car in your gorgeous gown…Clearly, ELIE SAAB Le Parfum is a perfect choice for your very own “exceptional moment!”
