Lipstick Powder N Paint

As seasons change it is time to reconsider your scent. Lavender and gardenia smell pretty and fresh in the summer but seem to get lost in the fall. Bold, heavier notes with slightly more masculine tones work well.

Let us tell you about a few of our new favourites!

Michael Kors Hollywood is inspired by the glitz and glamour of the red carpet. Scents of mandarin, iced bergamot, jasmine, ylang ylang and raspberry are topped with Italian orris and creamy amber. Perfect for the girly girl who dreams big.
