Celebrity Fragrances, Perfume and Celebrity Colognes

Carlos Santana has always one of my favorite musicians since I first saw Santana at Woodstock in 1969 and then the release of Santana's 1970 album Abraxas sealed the deal.

With a mixture of blues guitar and an Afro-Cuban rhythm, the music of Carlos Santana has endured 40 years, appealing to several generations. Carlos, was induced in the Rock 'n Roll hall of fame in 1998. Although Carlos' first hit was in 1970, Carlos again made news in 1999 as Carlos again rose up with the charts with Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 with the hit Smooth and won Carlos another 8 Grammy awards to add to his huge award collection.

Smooth is the perfect way to express the fragrances of Carlos Santana. I say fragrances, since Carlos has created a fragrance for both men and for women.

Carlos Santana for Women is an unusual but stunning mixture of neroli flower, California pear skin, cassis, coconut water, freesia, Japanese plum, iris, musk, sandalwood and the ever so slight hint of chocolate. Carlos Santana perfume fits in just as well at the office as it does clubbing.

A rare, exceptional fragrance from a gifted humanitarian and highly acclaimed musician.
Carlos Santana For Men
I have a hard time purchasing a fragrance for my husband that we both like. If I like it, it's too sweet for him and if he likes it, it's too intense for me.

However, we both agree that Carlos Santana for Men is a fragrance that we both adore (well he doesn't say adore - he says that it's a true mans cologne).

I give Carlos Santana a 10 out of 10 for his fragrance sensuality!

Maria Sharapova is often called the tennis princess and at the young ago of 17 she took the tennis world by storm by earning her first Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon in 2004 by overtaking Serena Williams.
While Maria has won her fair share of tennis titles she has also made a big splash off of the tennis court with her very publicized entry on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

On or off the court the press love Maria.

Maria Sharapova Eau De Parfum Spray 50ml/1.7oz

Clean, crisp and casual fragrance with a floral blend. Perfect for work or play.

You can't turn on the TV or read a magazine without seeing Paris Hilton. A day doesn't go by where you are not seeing Paris Hilton in the news.

What you may not know however, is that Paris introduced her own fragrance in 2005.

I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I tested Paris Hilton Fragrances.

I had somewhat expected a sweet, little girl, somewhat cloying fragrance but to my surprise Paris Hilton is a crisp, clean, quite complex scent with a mixture of frozen apple, peach nectar, freesia, mimosa, jasmine, sandalwood, ylang ylang & oak moss.

Paris Hilton is perfect for office wear as it will not over power, yet it's quite long lasting and is definitely priced well under what I had expected.

Glow by Jennifer Lopez was my first introduction into celebrity fragrances. Summer was on it's way and I was in the mood for a new perfume.
As I sniffed my way from perfume counter to perfume counter I finally came across and feel in love with Glow.

At the time I didn't realize that this was Jennifer Lopez's fragrance until the woman behind the counter mentioned it. Glow was the lightly sweet fragrance of summer that I was looking for.

Who would have known that this playful scent would carry me deep into the winter months.

Glow by J.Lo is a decidedly feminine scent of sheer florals with bright citrus notes with a background of heady musk, vanilla and jasmine. Not as sweet as it sounds, but has a hint of delicate skin tones. Wonderfully clean and exciting.

J. Lo Glow After Dark Eau de Toilette Spray 30ml/1oz
Glow After Dark is a sheer fragrance with pink musky undertones.

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is one of my all time favorite fragrances.
It is a gorgeous light perfume, which is never over powering. A complex blend of bergamot, citrus mandarin, rosewood, lavender and apple martini. The heart is flowering orchid, patchouli with the lasting fragrance of cedar and white amber.

Lovely

Patti Labelle by Patti Labelle
is as soulful as Patti herself. This classic scent smolders from within. A very subtle scent that lightly lingers in the room. Truly romantic.

Vera Wang has a large selection of fragrances, but my favorite is her signature fragrance - Vera Wang.
Maybe you can't afford a Vera Wang original outfit but you will be able to envelope yourself with this amazing fragrance.

Vera Wang Eau De Parfum Spray 50ml/1.7oz
As beautiful as her designs, Vera Wang is light, yet with deep and seductive under tones.

Britney Spears has been in the limelight since her start on the Disney Channel's, The New Mickey Mouse Club.

Her singing career is what most people know her by but Britney also has been in several off-Broadway productions. Britney was also a contestant on Star Search but was knocked out in the second round.

Curious by Britney Spears, stays true her southern roots with use of Louisiana magnolia and just the hint of vanilla-infused musk.

The Louisiana magnolia background makes this perfume a nice light flowery daytime choice. The vanilla musk adds a glimmer of sweetness with spicy undertones. Not quite as sensuous as many of the other celebrity fragrances like those from Jennifer Lopez but I like the change of pace and find it perfect for the office.
