Favorite Finds: Beauty Gifts - Holiday 2024

Our Holiday 2024 Favorite Finds Gift Guide Series rolls on with Beauty Gifts that do more than enhance your look—they uplift your spirit, too! Every item on our list is natural, eco-friendly, or supports a meaningful cause, allowing you to feel good about giving. Plus, you'll be supporting small businesses dedicated to creating exceptional products that care for both people and the planet.

These products not only make great gifts, but perfect stocking stuffers, as well. And be sure to check out all of their websites for the latest deals and discounts throughout the holiday season.

Child Perfume

If you have someone on your list that loves fragrance, but does not care for the strong scents of most perfumes, we have got you covered! Well, rather CHILD has got your covered!

CHILD Perfume was created by Susan D. Owens in 1989 as her signature scent, but its irresistible charm quickly caught attention. After constant questions from admirers, she launched it in 1990, and it’s been a cult favorite ever since. Loved by celebrities and featured in magazines like Vogue and InStyle, it’s famously known as “the perfume that drives men wild.” Handcrafted and timeless, CHILD is a must-have for fragrance lovers everywhere.

This captivating fragrance enchants with an irresistible blend of exotic white florals, including jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and magnolia. As it dries down, it leaves a soft, lingering femininity that feels quietly seductive and deeply personal.

We absolutely loved the scent! It is more of an essential oil than a perfume and the floral scent is so soothing and fresh and pretty. It is perfect for young and old and it definitely will get you a ton of compliments and the question of “What are you wearing?”

The CHILD Perfume Oil Roll On is the perfect bottle to take in your makeup bag on the go or when traveling, and a little will go a long way. And they have candles, body creme and a Limited Edition Extrait de Parfum. You can even get a gift set with everything!

Perfect Gifts For People Who Hate Everything And Have Intimidating Standards

We all have people in our lives who are impossible (read: nightmarish) to buy for - their taste is just too exacting to possibly predict what they’ll like. 

But … we are those exacting, impossible nightmarish people ourselves. 

And this is our personal wish list. 

Yes, some things are a tad pricey. But not everything is expensive - great taste doesn’t always mean spendy. And one of our favorite things on the list is under $20. We’ll see if you can guess which one it is.

There’s also some very weird, very big swings on this list, and we highly encourage you to take those swings. Buying people presents isn’t some serious thing. And the whole point of it is to get our loved ones wonderfully unique things that they’d never buy for themselves.  

Giving gifts should be fun, not scary. Though the first thing on the list will potentially frighten some people. But if it does, you’re reading the wrong gift guide. 

Let’s gift. 

Child Perfume Roll On

We know buying someone a fragrance is an enormous and risky swing, but that’s why we chose this scent - there is no one on this earth who doesn’t instantly love it. It’s subtle yet utterly distinct - a soft dry down of jasmine and orange blossom mixed with a tiny hint of tuberose - it’s the ultimate skin scent for classic girls who love clean, unique fragrances. Aka, all of us? If you need more convincing we wrote a huge thing about it HERE.

Eau d'Italie Acqua Di Positano

Eau D'Italie @eauditalie_official has a new fragrance, Acqua Di Positano. Sunwarmed, salty and citrus, it's a beauty. 

Heavy on the orange blossom but soft orange blossom, blooming off a salty ocean breeze with petitgrain adding more citrus and driftwood bringing light woods. It's bright and sunny and easy to wear. The driftwood gets a little musky at the drydown conveying that warm skin in the sun feel with the citrus and orange blossom staying in the scent too.

Eau d'Italie and ALTAIA are also now available in travel sizes. I love when a brand does this. Easier to take with you yes, but also more affordable. The 10 ml of Acqua Di Positano is $55. Travel sizes are also available in the Signature Scent, and Altaia's Don't Cry For Me and By Any Other Name are $68.

Sexy Cult Favorite CHILD Perfume

First off, this is NOT a perfume for children! (Though some brands are peddling scents for babies, as if they didn’t smell amazing all on their own.)

We’re talking about the cult classic CHILD, beloved by celebs and born in the Hollywood hills.

An intoxicating burst of clean white florals, a beautiful blend of jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and magnolia with a subtle hint of patchouli and a quiet touch of vanilla, CHILD immediately captures all your senses.

The sexy scent is a favorite of many Hollywood stars, including Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman. In a now-viral story, John Mayer reportedly stopped a Rolling Stone interview to sniff it out.

Though it smells differently on everyone, it has a distinctive West Coast vibe.

The most popular Child Perfume Roll On fits easily in your purse or even back pocket.

Don’t leave home without it.

Jasmine Leather from Eau D’Italie Le Sirenuse Positano

For the man who wants to be unforgettable, Eau d’Italie has concocted the perfect fragrance – Jasmine Leather. Deeply sensual, it pairs jasmine and leather for a match made in heaven. Inspired by the Renaissance fashion, a craze in fact, for scenting leather accessories - gloves, belts, vests - with rare, exotic Jasmine, this fragrance balances floral tenderness with a warm heart of aromatic leather. Firmly masculine, these two thoroughly Italian ingredients merge with cedar wood, saffron, and a touch of patchouli. Simply yet elegantly presented, Jasmine Leather is sleek, its stealth style absolutely captivating as it draws on tradition to make a most alluring modern scent statement.

Eau d’Italie Signature Scented Candle and Diffuser

A beautiful scented candle or an exquisitely fragrant diffuser that will take you straight back to Le Sirenuse with the Eau d’Italie signature fragrance. Unforgettable memories of romantic summer evenings overlooking the bay of Positano, with notes of bergamot, incense and blackcurrant buds warmed by a mineral note of terracotta heated by the sun. These products are meticulously handmade in Italy.

Ligne St. Barth – Vanille West Indies Eau de Parfum

Princess Charlene of Monaco loves the intoxicating, indulgent scent of vanilla orchid flowers so exquisitely expressed in Ligne St Barth’s Eau de Parfum, Vanille West Indies. This delicious, sophisticated reminder of relaxing times in St Barth is made on the Island from a recipe passed down for generations. The fragrance creates a sensory rapture as the vanilla essence of the orchid flowers entices, leading to the scent of scattered vanilla seeds, caramelized in softness. This luxe parfum has all the charm and the enveloping warmth of vanilla yet its creamy caramel accord is balanced by the seductive scent of delicate exotic orchids. Homage to Caribbean vanilla, treasured in Creole culture, Ligne St Barth’s romantic fragrance, Vanille West Indies, invites us all to enjoy life’s full sweetness. Pair with the Vanilla Body Lotion.

ALTAIA Atacama Eau de Parfum

This fragrance by Altaia was inspired by the Atacama desert, located in the north of Chile, beyond the Northwest Argentine border, a majestic extension of salt and sands which changes color according to the seasons. Rain is scarce, and —Atacama is said to be the driest place on earth — but it just takes a few drops to awaken the seeds which patiently await underground and turn it pink with flowers. Your skin will feel sand-kissed and touched by a flowery summer breeze.

    8 Luxury European Fragrances That Will Make You Smell Expensive

    Finding a good perfume is challenging on so many levels. You want it to be versatile — not too strong, not too weak, not too floral, not too warm, not too woodsy . . . ahh! The list goes on and on. In simple terms, you want a fragrance that makes people say “Wow, I love that lady’s delicate smell! She smells like luxury,” as opposed to, “Wow, that lady’s cheap perfume is killing me!”

    If you want an expensive-smelling failproof perfume, try turning across the pond — particularly to Italy and France. Italian and French perfumes — with their sophisticated notes, distinctive profiles and timeless elements — are something different, followed closely by English perfumes. The scents have depth, richness, history and class, all without overpowering the senses. In other words, they’re everything you want in a fragrance!

    As with anything, however, not every European perfume is perfect; there are some that miss the mark. We tested a bunch of luxe-smelling European fragrances that come straight from the continent itself.

    So if you’re like Us and want to smell like you own a place (or two) in Positano, scroll on. Details below!

    Eau d'Italie Acqua di Positano Eau de Parfum

    Adored by A-listers, the mega-rich and travelers like Us, Positano, Italy is the place to be — especially Le Sirenuse Hotel. This one-of-a-kind scent captures the essence of a summery day on the Amalfi Coast, combining a sparkly citron note with orange flowers and sea salt.

    ALTAIA Amank'ay Eau De Parfum Spray

    There is nothing more quiet luxury than this fragrance. When you spray it onto your neck (front and back) you are instantly in another world. A far off meadow, perhaps? Notes of pink peppercorn, lotus flower, amber seeds, and juicy Asian pear flood your nostrils, and you wonder how you’ve lived this long without this scent. The price is worth the investment if you are someone who loves a wildly rare scent.

    Summer 2024 Fragrance Launches Roundup

    With the summer in full swing, the fragrance industry is offering up some rejuvenating spritzers, whether it’s sultry evening scents or refreshing citruses during the day. Gourmands are still going strong (Future Market Insights predicts the category will have global value of $55 billion by 2033), as are more herbaceous and lightweight creations like fougères (pink pepper, lavender, cardamom, and petitgrain making regular appearances) to counter the sweetness of the former category. No doubt, the hotter months bring about more transparent creations, but thanks to a plethora of long-lasting aroma molecules like Amber Xtreme, Georgywood, and ambroxan, even more lightweight scents are demonstrating longer staying power, as a certain subset of consumers demand “beast mode” from their olfactory investments.

    Here are the perfume launches of summer 2024.

    Niche Fragrance

    Eau d'Italie Acqua di Positano is a refreshing green woody scent created to capture summertime in the Italian destination. Notes include orange flower absolute, citron, bitter orange, petitgrain, and driftwood. Its launch also aligns with the 20th anniversary of the original Eau d’Italie fragrance coming to market.

    24 Best Fall Fragrances for Women and Men, Tested by Glamour Editors and Perfume Fanatics

    Now that pumpkin spice season is just around the corner, fragrance fanatics are excitedly swapping out their breezy summer scents for cozy fall fragrances.

    Autumn is more than a season—it's a lifestyle, and fall perfumes are of the utmost importance when it comes to getting in the mood for apple picking, carving pumpkins, and trips to the farmers market.

    As for what scents are trending this year? According to a recent WGSN forecast, forest fragrances in particular will captivate consumers this fall, with a specific focus on woody, aromatic families. Meanwhile on PerfumeTok, everyone’s obsessing over gorgeous gourmands and cozy vibe-inducing vanillas, all of which we’ve tested and then some.

    Fortunately, we don’t believe in gate-keeping. Whether you’re a fall fanatic looking for the scent of the season or simply want to expand your fragrance horizons, Glamour has you covered—and smelling great.

    Read on... and prepare to be asked, “What are you wearing?” all season long.

    Best Transitional Fall Fragrance: Eau d'Italie Signature Eau de Parfum

    There are fragrances that feel like fall in full swing, and then there are ones that remind you that summer just ended. Eau d’Italie is the latter. I’m obsessed with how it smells exactly like terra-cotta tiles under an afternoon sun with a hint of ocean breeze. It’s the signature scent of Positano’s Hotel Le Sirenuse and the perfect perfume to transition from summer to fall (when you really start missing your July vacation). —Sarah Y. Wu

There’s nothing better than receiving a compliment on your perfume and having someone ask, “What is that scent?” Like an extension of your wardrobe, the process of selecting the perfect perfume can be a journey, but an important one.

From up-and-coming artisanal brands to established perfumeries, we’ve wrapped the best Italian perfumes to add to your collection.

    Eau d’Italie, Positano

    TOP PICK:  Acqua di Positano

    A well-kept secret among those in-the-know, Eau d’Italie is a perfume brand that has quickly gained global recognition. Born at Le Sirenuse hotel on the Amalfi Coast in Positano, Eau d’Italie captures the essence of the coast in twelve evocative scents. The brand was created by Marina Sersale and her husband Sebastián Alvarez Murena in 2004 to mark the hotel’s 50th anniversary.

    Crafted in collaboration with world-renowned perfumers, the scents are contemporary, original and inspiring. From Mediterranean shrubbery to sun-kissed terracotta, Eau d’Italie takes you on an olfactory journey through Southern Italy and beyond, with fragrances that capture the romance and passion of the seaside.

    Crisp and salty, Acqua di Positano is the perfect summer scent. It combines salt grains and orange flower absolute with sparkling top notes of citron and petitgrain. Picture the freshness of a Positano breeze with sun-warmed foliage, bright citrus and dry wood.

    Eau d'Italie Acqua di Positano

    For the first time, Eau d’Italie, the fragrance house of the iconic Amalfi Coast hotel, Le Sirenuse Positano, is launching a new luxury capsule collection centered around the Acqua di Positano fragrance. Blending Salt Grains and Orange Flower Absolute, with sparkling top notes of Citron, the fragrance evokes the lemon trees on the cliffs of Positano overlooking the Mediterranean where the Siren Islands, inspiration for the hotel’s name, appear in the distance. Petitgrain distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Seville bitter orange tree accentuates the citrus nature of the fragrance with its refreshing green woody scent with floral undertones.

    Acqua di Positano Eau de Parfum

    My favorite place on Earth is Positano along the Amalfi Coast (and I say this after only spending four hours there), so any excuse I can find to remind myself of this perfect slice of heaven is worth it. That’s why I was so excited when Eau d’Italie decided to debut its newest fragrance, Acqua di Positano, as part of a capsule collection to celebrate Eau d’Italie’s 20th birthday. With notes like citron, petitgrain, orange flower absolute, and driftwood, it brings me back to the most divine lunch I had at Le Sirenuse’s La Sponda restaurant with my mom, surrounded by lemon trees and the dazzling blue water below. If you want Positano in a bottle, this is it. —Jessica Radloff

    Summer 2024 Perfume Highlights: Acqua di Positano Eau d'Italie

    Acqua di Positano Eau d'Italie

    Not being a person who is strictly guided by the rules when it comes to choosing the right kind of perfumes according to each season, I usually follow my mood of the moment when choosing the perfume(s) I will wear that day. Some strong perfumes, like heavy tuberoses open in all their splendor on sun warmed skin and you can feel all their rich nuances, Carnal Flower, Balade de Tiare de Tahiti L' Arc, Fracas, Lys 41 and Perdizzione being my favourites, and for the evening, towards the end of a long day at the beach or site seeing, ideally at a dinner in the garden of a restaurant in Provence, a floral-aromatic chypre and is ideal and then I prefer Sisley Eau du Soir, Mystere de Rochas, Safari Ralph Lauren, or Dioressence.

    However, I have always considered that very fresh perfumes, reminiscent of the most appetizing cocktails with sparkling citrus juices, should not be missing from any summer fragrance wardrobe and from any vacation luggage. You never know when you need an extra boost of revitalization. As it is not a category neglected by perfume houses, we have a lot of lovely options, and I just discovered Acqua di Positano launched this year by Eau d’Italie.

    I follow with interest everything that Eau d'Italie and ALTAIA launch, both houses being owned by the same eternally in love couple, Marina Sersale and Sebastián Alvarez Murena, their exclusive collections being inspired by travel, symbolic places for their relationship, such as the famous family owned 5 stars hotel La Sirenuse on the Amalfi coast, Sicily, Argentina, the lake area of the northern region of Italy or lush and romantic gardens.

    Acqua di Positano perfectly encapsulates the Italian summer with its irresistible and vibrant aromas of lemon peel, orange blossom and sea breeze. Light as a breeze, calm as the sea in a sunny morning and uplifting as the scent of an orange grove in bloom, this is a unisex and universal perfume that celebrates summer, offering freshness and good mood, its notes combining in a very natural and pleasant way. The opening is tinged by the citruses with bitter peels and juicy flesh, soon being accompanied by the fragrant petals of orange blossoms, white and delicate, as if they were embroidered on a bride's veil. However, here the orange blossoms do not fully open their petals so that their well-known sweet nectar spills over the other notes, as we know they tend to do from many famous creations such as Safanad, Love Don't Be Shy or Paradoxe, but they maintain a fresh floral allure, almost innocent. What tempers their "sensualization" is precisely the salty note of sea spray that envelops the composition in an ozonic, outdoorish and energizing feel, coming as a refreshing splash in the heat of summer right at the moment when everything around seems to be melting.

    The exhilarating freshness of the salted breeze defines and maintains the supremely clean character of this citrus-marine fragrance, while a delicate dry tone of wood enriches and anchors the composition. The power of this perfume does not lie in its duration on the skin, but in the sophisticated way in which it so vividly evokes a beautiful seascape in the middle of summer. And sometimes, nothing more is really needed.

    Acqua di Positano the Fragrance of “A Dream Place”

    Acqua di Positano - The Fragrance of "A Dream Place" 

    Positano is “a dream place,” so writer John Steinbeck described it, “that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.”  Le Sirenuse Positano is indeed a dream, the hotel has earned iconic status in the seven decades of its existence.  Once a family villa in a sleepy fishing village, now a celebrity hotspot known the world over, it’s celebrated in a fragrance collection, Eau d’Italie, created originally to honor the hotel on its 50th Anniversary.  Now twenty years later Eau d’Italie celebrates the birthday of the original fragrance with the launch of Acqua di Positano, a love song to Positano.

    Are you sharing Steinbeck’s perception of Positano as a “dream place?” And looking to carry the scent memories of this treasured destination with you long after you’ve returned? Eau d’Italie understands. And so they have created Acqua di Positano, a perfect summery blend of Salt Grains and Orange Flower Absolute, with sparkling top notes of Citron and Petitgrain, a fragrance to bring home the delight of being in Positano wherever you are in the world. After all, fragrance is the most irresistible way to keep the sun and sea of Italy’s Amalfi Coast close at hand every day.  Acqua di Positano makes that dream come true, from $55 at https://www.beautyhabit.com/collections/eau-ditalie

    As the introduction to Le Sirenuse explains, “Ever since the early Middle Ages, positanesi have been travelers, crossing seas and oceans, making contacts. But we (the Sersale family) carry our small ‘vertical’ town with us wherever we go. The azure Mediterranean in front, the mountains behind, a stack of jaunty houses, bougainvillea, and lemon trees: even on a busy New York sidewalk, this picture floats somewhere in the middle distance, like a film projected on mist. We carry our small ‘vertical’ town with us wherever we go.”

    The story of this dream place explains the family behind the hotel is “a story of survival against the odds, vital maritime energy, and a natural instinct for hospitality.” Le Sirenuse was founded by the Sersales, adoptive positanesi as they were originally from Naples. Positano was, they reveal, “a delightful seaside refuge from Naples’ summer heat and intense urban life, a place for summer vacations and the occasional weekend.”

    As they explain, Positano and Naples share traditions, saints, recipes, dialect expressions, and the wayfaring ways inherited from common ancestors.  By the time WWII was over, Positano became home. And in 1951, the Sersales opened their home, their summer place, to the world. Word spread.  Those in the know began to discover the charm of Positano and the pleasure of the Sersales’ hospitality.

    Earning a spot at the top of the best of the Amalfi Coast lists from ELLE and Conde Nast Traveler, not to mention the status of inclusion in 50 Best Hotels in the World, is simply a natural extension of the hospitality the Sersales have always offered: “Looking after guests, introducing them to the things locals love to eat and drink, telling them our stories and listening to their own.” For this family, it wasn’t such a big leap to open their home, Villa Giulietta, as a hotel called Le Sirenuse in 1951. All those who visit are honored guests, or family as they are affectionately known.  And for these guests, fragrance is always a favorite takeaway. This year the most coveted scent among the artisanally authentic fragrances of Eau d’Italie, is sure to be Acqua di Positano the newest fragrance conceived by Marina Sersale and her husband, Sebastian Alvarez Murena.

    The new fragrance Acqua di Positano is available from https://www.beautyhabit.com/collections/eau-ditalie

    Luxurious Italian Fragrances You Must Try

    Made in Italy perfume brands are internationally renowned for their use of high-quality ingredients, dreamy scents, and competitive price points. While luxury fashion houses like Giorgio Armani and Versace are well tapped into the fragrance world, there are other Italian brands focused solely on perfumes, and in some cases, also bath and body products, that are equally deserving of attention. These luxury companies strive to bring a taste of “la dolce vita” to their customers with scents inspired by Italy and the Mediterranean.

    These three luxury Italian perfume brands should be a staple in your fragrance collection. Ranging in price from $100 to $490, with floral, oriental, fresh, and woody notes for both men and women, there’s something for everyone regardless of their preferences and budgets. All three brands ship to the United States.

    Eau d'Italie

    Eau d'Italie is the signature fragrance and body care collection of Le Sirenuse, a 5-star luxury resort set on a cliff overlooking the town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast. Founded in 2004 to celebrate the hotel’s 50th anniversary, their fragrances are inspired by Italy and the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. Luxury scents like Mystic Sunset, with notes of saffron, sugar cane, and cedar wood; Acqua Decima, with lemon, mandarin, neroli, petitgrain, and wild mint; and Un Bateau Pour Capri, with peony, freesia, peach, jasmine, and cedarwood.

    27 Weird Mother's Day Gifts That Your Mom Would Be Nuts Not To Love

    Your mom is there for you always, and you really only need to return the favor one day out of the year.

    But there is a lot of pressure to get mom a gift that she will like — and, more importantly, that shows you get her as a person, not just as a parental figure.

    On top of that is the pesky little fact that, like most people, your mom is probably a closet weirdo.

    Luckily for you and your mom, HuffPost Weird News has once again combed the world looking for gifts that will surely appeal to her, whether it’s headphones with kitty ears, a portable urinal or bath products inspired by the movie, “Shrek.”

    You don’t have to thank us.

    Cannabis Perfume

    "Mom, remember how you kept asking about that strange herby smell from my room late at night?" "Yes, it was very strange." "Well, yeah, but there's an explanation. I got you some perfume that is scented like cannabis." (19-69 Chronic Eau de Parfum) "Cannabis?" "Yes, do you like the smell?" "Kinda herby. Reminds me of the smell of that nursery your sister works at?" "The dispensary?" "Yes! Well, thank you!"

    ALTAIA Amank'ay

    WHAT I SMELL:  Sparkling like sunlight on gemstones, a touch of pink pepper ignites Amank'ay.  And right from first spritz, the perfume embraces you in a warm enveloping hug that’s both comforting and invigorating.  Soon, a delicate lotus flower unfolds, its ethereal beauty grounded by a whisper of cool, aquatic depths.  As the perfume continues to develop, a soft ambrette melds with the warmest of sandalwood, along with what seems to be a bit of gourmand sugared glaze that is as subtle as a whisper.  In the end, Amank’ay surrounds the wearer with a beautiful bloom.  Amank’ay is gorgeous.

    From the Atlaia website:

    In Patagonia, where the wild rugged landscape lets emotions roam free, legend tells of the Amank’ay flower which symbolizes the tender surrender of one’s heart.

    Nestled between ancient forests and fast-flowing rivers, the spectacle of an Amank’ay meadow in full bloom touches the soul of all who behold it, and it is this awe-inspiring beauty that Marina and Sebastián sought to encapsulate in a luminous tribute to the sweet bond of love.

    Amank’ay, the flower of love.

    Notes: Pink Pepper, Nashi, Helvetolide, Lotus Flower, Ambrette Seeds, Sandalwood.

    WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: A dream-like lotus flower dance.

    THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE AMANK’AY: Calming, contented, soothing.

    WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT AMANK’AY: No written reviews found.

    BOTTOM LINE:  Amank’ay is like meditation in a bottle.  It’s so beautiful in form and feeling and easily will make you feel calmer as soon as it graces your skin.  This could easily be a much needed addition to your collection…especially when you need some time for quiet reflection.

    Bottling your holiday is a growing business.

    A couple’s romantic idea to capture the scent of their luxurious family hotel in Positano has launched an international range of fragrances.

    Australians love Italy’s Amalfi Coast. You could ask, who doesn’t? Yet apparently, we like to souvenir it, too. The husband and wife creators of two best-selling Positano-based beauty and fragrance brands have launched an exclusive stockist deal with Mecca, after building a profile here via travelers bringing the scents back home.

    Sebastián Alvarez Murena and Marina Sersale, whose family owns and runs the landmark Positano hotel, Le Sirenuse, launched their Eau d’Italie fragrance 20 years ago.

    It’s now expanded into a range of bath and body products and a further 16 fragrances. There’s also a range called ALTAIA, or A Long Time Ago In Argentina.

    “Sebastian and I met in Positano [after 9/11],” says Sersale, during the couple’s visit to Sydney in March. Due to travel being halted, a party celebrating the 50th anniversary of Le Sirenuse was cancelled, “so we met at an intimate birthday party that my cousin held.”

    Sersale, a British-Italian documentary maker, and Murena, an Argentinean journalist, decided to mark the occasions with a fragrance that would capture the spirit of the hotel and the Amalfi Coast as they saw and felt it.

    “We started working together on the Eau d’Italie project without declaring that we were doing it,” explains Sersale. “I was officially the one in charge, but I didn’t know much about fragrance. It became more and more our project, and then it became our work together.”

    They sent out tendrils of inquiry to the tight perfumery industry before eventually coming across industry maverick, Bertrand Duchaufour. Their brief to him would become the blueprint for Eau d’Italie: “No lemony smell,” smiles Sersales. “Positano, lemons, Sirenuse, citrus – no.”

    The debut fragrance (Eau d'Italie) was of Le Sirenuse in summer: tuberose, magnolia mixing with the incense of the nearby churches, tartness of blackcurrant, and underneath that a matte, caramel-like accord they say is the smell of sunbaked clay that lingers over the hotel at that time of year.

    It was a hit. The experience with Duchaufour and the success of Eau d’Italie set off the second act of this love story – they married in 2008.

    ALTAIA is the story of the couple’s ancestry when about 160 years ago, Murena’s great-great-grandfather General Bartolomé Mitre, the first president of a unified Argentina, opened the country up to foreign investment. One investor was Sersale’s great-great-grandfather, British entrepreneur James Morrison.

    Fragrance names playfully reference personal anecdotes or details. There’s Don’t Cry For Me, an “olfactive homage to Buenos Aires” that was inspired by Murena’s childhood memories of the Argentine capital. The peppery rose of Any Day Now tells the story of their combined history and almost predestined meeting back in 2001, while Yu Sōn is the scent of the moment they first met.

    Both ranges are popular in Australia. Asked why, Sersale says “Maybe it’s the fact that you are at the Antipodes. Far from a sort of European-centric vision. I think it gives you an absolute edge because the world isn’t Europe-centric any longer. And the Antipodes are becoming far more important from every point of view.”

    Celebrity Favorite Fragrance Fresh from the Hollywood Hills Cult Classic Child Perfume

    As the scent of Spring wafts through open windows, what better time to embrace child perfume, the lush, natural scent of white florals freshly picked from the Hollywood Hills. Artisanally crafted in small batches, child is a cult classic fragrance that’s built a devoted celebrity following for more than 20 years. Originally created by Susan D. Owens as her own personal fragrance, child perfume quickly earned celebrity fans among them Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman, becoming an insider’s favorite, a subtle, sensual scent for those in the know.

    Child’s easy beachy vibes make it the ultimate California girl fragrance after all, it was the first California-curated perfume. Perfect for the woman who loves the free, fresh wind in her hair, one who cherishes the feeling as she climbs among the dunes, of living life without care, enjoying the freedom of walking barefoot on the beach, feeling the sand and the surf beneath her toes.  child transforms an almost warm day when spring is still a tease into sunshine-streaming bliss.

    Bring that blissful feeling home with this mesmerizing blend of exotic jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and magnolia with demure hints of lilac, rose, and violet and just enough patchouli to bring to mind the bohemian vibe that’s so chic again. Put on Fleetwood Mac, listen to Stevie Nicks singing Dreams, or tune into Riley Keogh in Daisy Jones and The Six, a modern vision of Stevie, what better way to revisit promises of love? Dream away, be transported. Light the scented candle, it’s made of pure soy and coconut wax with a white cotton wick ($65 for 8 oz) it should provide about 40 hours of burn time, long enough to relax and enjoy more than one evening of rekindled romance.

    Slather on child perfume body extremely rich body creme to give skin a hydrated sheen, the rich vitamin-infused blend helps restore moisture, and its fragrance-infused essential nutrients radiate an aura of feminine sensuality (8 oz jar is $85).  Dab the exceptionally long-lasting perfume oil on pulse points, it’s an accessible investment at $68  (1/3 oz.) or $98 (1 oz.). Spray the limited edition extrait de parfum to create that head-turning, incredibly memorable allure that captivates even a random passerby much less the one you love ($150 for 50 ml).  John Mayer once stopped a Rolling Stone interview to follow a woman wearing child. It leaves a lasting impression that women love and men don’t forget.

    Hollywood loves child. This beautiful powdery blend of lilac, magnolia, and vanilla, with a touch of citrus top notes, slides gently into middle notes of jasmine, tuberose, violet, and then eases into a finish of warm, enticing base notes of musk, mimosa, rose and soft woods. No wonder child perfume counts Britney Spears, Christina Applegate, Denise Richards; Hilary Duff, Jenny Garth, Kim & Khloe Kardashian, LeAnn Rimes and so many other women of note among its fans.

    Ligne St Barth: Vacation in St. Barth From Home

    Ahead of summer, many of you might be scanning travel catalogs and stumble upon St. Barth, the tropical paradise nestled in the Caribbean’s Barthélemy Channel. What makes this island so magical? The answer lies in the richness of St Barth itself, the exquisite luxury of the white sand beaches, the tropical bounty of exotic fruits and fragrant flowers, and the overall naturalness and sophistication of St. Barth itself. Here, Caribbean nonchalance is simply a way of life.  

    This is encapsulated in Ligne St Barth, the luscious body care brand that fragrances you with the magic of St. Barth, all from the comfort of home. 

    The family-owned firm headed by founder and CEO, Herve Brin, is known for combining generations of knowledge with up-to-date research to create unique formulas, equally innovative and timeless products tailored to modern lifestyles on or off the Island. Ligne St Barth is sold around the world (in 30 countries). However, if Caribbean travel is not on the immediate agenda, you can find the brand online at Beautyhabit.com, the modern luxe apothecary that’s long been the go-to place to find Ligne St Barth’s complete collection in the U.S.

    With 40 products in Ligne St Barth’s portfolio, snag these must-haves at the Ligne St Barth boutique in Gustavia or order online from Beautyhabit.com to indulge in pampering, Caribbean rituals without leaving home. 

    Herve Brin launched Ligne St Barth in 1983 with just three products: St Barth Huile de Coco (Coconut Oil), Huile d’Avocat (Avocado Oil) and Gel d’Aloè (Aloe Gel). Cultivating recipes he learned from his grandmother, a “medicine woman” descended from the Arawak Indians, the Island’s original settlers, M. Brin revealed, “I started in the discipline of science – and decided to make a business out of it. At that time my grandparents used to produce coconut and avocado oil. I decided to do something with it and modernize the presentation. I used rum bottles as the packaging and I hand-wrote the name of each product with a golden marker. [Eventually] I opened a small shop for locals and tourists. It took time but it prospered through word-of-mouth.” 

    Brin marketed these initial batches in thorough Caribbean style; he packed them in a suitcase and hit the beach. In these early days, he traversed the white sands and caught the eye of sun-worshiping tourists. Soon, Ligne St Barth quickly became a coveted keepsake from the Island. The secret to the line’s success? M. Brin explained, “Ligne St Barth celebrates a passion for an idea: an invitation for people to indulge in Caribbean well-being.”

    Four decades later Ligne St Barth is a cult classic you’ll find at the world’s most exceptional wellness destinations. Mango, papaya, lily, vanilla orchid and more; there’s not a Caribbean ingredient left unused. “Avocado oil from Martinique, Roucou seed (these red seeds are used in Ligne St Barth‘s popular Roucou tanning oil not available yet in the USA) from Dominica, the Aloe Vera from Curacao or French Guyana and Vetiver from Haiti,” said M. Brin.

    These natural ingredients compose the products which are all made in St Barth from recipes handed down in M. Brin’s family for generations. Among Ligne St Barth’s famous followers is supermodel Claudia Schiffer (currently starring in spy movie “Argylle”), who swears by the Avocado Oil scented with Tiare flower (Gardenia), which provides a replenishing, nourishing treatment after a day at the beach. Monaco’s Princess Charlene is a fan of the Vanille West Indies fragrance, the Creole-inspired sensuous essence of creamy caramel with a hint of orchid.  

    Ligne St Barths offers something for everyone. Versed in the traditions that shape Caribbean scents, M. Brin chose to bring a contemporary perspective to the category. For men, he introduced three new fragrances, each an Eau de Parfum: L’Original, a vital, invigorating citrus floral; Vetiver, a sensual smokey green classic made with the finest Vetiver from Haiti; and Islander, a Pirates of the Caribbean-worthy, spiced-up modern spin on classic Bay Rum. 

    With Ligne St Barth, M. Brin has made the allure of the island accessible to us all wherever we are in the world. But what exactly has he bottled? “The atmosphere,” he said, “It’s very peaceful – very relaxing – the beauty of the landscape, enchanting sunlight, friendliness, the essence of the fruits and flowers…it’s simply captivating.”  

    Landlocked or ocean-bound, dockside or curbside, Ligne St. Barth does indeed captivate, enveloping you in a world of Caribbean nonchalance where relaxation rules. Find their fragrant collection in the USA at Beautyhabit.com.

    Eau d'Italie Liquid Soap and Body Lotion - Fig & Berries

    Do you love luxe hand soaps? I do, I admit. They're a real treat. Elevating the everyday I guess we'd call it and I am all for that.

    As a fan of Eau D'Italie's fragrances it wasn't hard to imagine I'd love their newest releases of liquid hand soap and body lotion.

    Both liquid soap and lotions come in eight different scents housed in 300 ml pump bottles. All the fragrances sounded quite good but I went with Fig & Berries. The hand soap is lightly scented with a green, berry fragrance. It's not overly noticeable but soft. The soap itself is a thin liquid that doesn't lather too much, which I like, but gets hands clean without drying them out thanks to coconut and olive fruit oil. Do I love this, yes. I use it sparingly so it doesn't run out too quick.

    The body lotion is well scented, not too thick or too thin lotion and  moisturizes nicely with shea butter and almond oil. It dries pretty fast too, leaving a soft scent trail behind. Fig and Berries is slightly sweet  and woodsy with plenty of fig and blackberry. The lotion is more strongly scented than the soap with more of the berry and fig.

    With Easter and Mother's Day coming, these make great gifts. Useful but deluxe selfcare, who doesn't want a little bit of Italy, the Amalfi Coast and Positano where the brand originates from, by the bedside or vanity? It's all La Dolce Vita.  

    Eau D'Italie hand soaps, body lotions and fragrances are exclusive to Beautyhabit.com in the US. You can find the full selection online.

    A Love Story 150 Years In The Making - From Argentina To Italy With Amore

    A Love Story 150 Years in the Making

    The love affair with South America and its rugged, wild lands began more than a century ago for two different families, the Mitre and the Morrisons, when they crossed paths in Buenos Aires. Their encounter in 19th-century South America and the modern-day love story of their direct descendants who serendipitously met in Italy 150 years later is captured in the elegant, minimalist fragrance collection ALTAIA, the acronym for “A Long Time Ago in Argentina.” Only after they were married in 2012 did Marina Sersale and Sebastian Alvarez Murena discover how a remarkable series of events linked their families together once upon a time in Argentina. Instead of celebrating with a brilliant bottle of Malbec, Marina and Sebastian took their connection and their inspiration to an olfactory level and created a new perfume collection, which they called ALTAIA. Committed to the art of perfumery and the power of storytelling through scent, not to mention their shared history and true romance they created fragrances with each Eau de Parfum’s olfactory element intended to evoke their interconnected past and present.

    Each ALTAIA fragrance has a unique resonance, striking a contemporary emotional chord rooted in long-ago legends and their modern meaning, consistently sharing timeless messages of love. The newest launch, Amank’ay, is named for the ethereal lily-like blossom, known as the flower of love, an incarnation of an ancient legend revealing the sweet bond of love. Amank’ay flowers cover rolling valleys in the wild lands of Patagonia, a place where emotions roam free among deep ancient forests and cobalt blue fjords framed by icy mountaintops. Marina and Sebastian say that “the spectacle of an Amank’ay meadow in full bloom touches the soul of all who behold it, and it is this awe-inspiring beauty that we sought to encapsulate in a luminous tribute to the tender surrender of one’s heart.”

    This enchanting mix of petals, woods, and spice captivates the wild at heart as the fragrance blends the delicate essence of pear blossoms and lotus flower with a hint of pink peppercorn and the warm, sensual finish of Amber, Musk, and Sandalwood. Amank’ay is the newest entry in a sublime collection of ALTAIA fragrances including Any Day Now, a dark, deep sensual fragrant invitation that proves as Sebastian and Marina want us to understand, that “love waits, ready to surprise us, hiding just out of sight. Without warming it will sweep us away,” they emphasize that to encounter love, we have to keep our hearts open and wait for “love’s caress, as soft and fragrant as rose petals, to entice.”

    Thinking that we need to feel sexy in our own skin, Marina and Sebastian created a fragrance to honor Argentina’s famed desert – Atacama – known for its salt flats and rare wildflower bloom, an unpredictable coating of the landscape in Fuschia flowers They created a beautiful, sophisticated Eau de Parfum that serves as a metaphor for this desolate ground, the highest desert on earth, the closest environment on this planet to Mars. Flowers float by on a dry summer breeze, tantalizing, just beyond our grasp. Like the scent of the blossoms carried on the wind, the seeds that lie beneath the sands of Atacama come to life with one kiss of rain. The notes, a subtle harmony of delicate flowers, freesia, and jasmine with a woody finish, soft and sensual as cashmere are luxurious, and gracefully understated, making Atacama a fragrant experience of quiet luxury.

    Of course, the ALTAIA collection goes on to include many stellar scents, all – eight in total – are available at Beautyhabit for USA customers. Among the ALTAIA scents, Wonder of You – joyful, sun-loving, Tuberose in Blue – a trip to Rio where enchantment prevails, Don’t Cry For Me – hot summer nights in Buenos Aires, Yu Son – intoxicating, passionate love and By Any Other Name – .a modern sultry floral. Find the one that speaks to your heart.
