One of my favorite perfumes of all time is by Santa Maria Novella "Acqua Di Colonia Melograno"(Pomegranate). Started by monks, Santa Maria Novella aromas and ancient recipes date back to 16th century Florence, Italy. Many Kings and Queens adorned themselves in these decadent perfumes. "Melograno", the fruit of the pomegranate plant, symbolizes wealth and abundance. It mixes the tart taste of the pomegranate with a beautiful powdery floral undertone. I wear this perfume day or night since it has a wonderful combination of both soft and strong.

Perfume Bottle Dresses
Raised in Athens, Greece, Mary Katrantzou's Debut runway 2009 Collection is regal and oh so beautiful! These dresses are called 'Perfume Bottle Dresses'. Some of the inspirations are from iconic perfume bottles, such as, Shalimar, Givenchy and Gaultier, while others are vintage. Other inspiration came partly from the way perfume bottles were designed to the female form in their packaging. These dresses are Abstract and a little bit futuristic, it will be interesting to see what else this designer has up her sleeve...
