Ah, the weather is finally warming up in New York City this week and it's time to find the perfect new spring fragrance. In the running:
Named after the privet hedges synonymous with the Hamptons, Hampton Sun's Privet Bloom features the breathtaking aroma of privet hedges in bloom wrapped in a bouquet of delicate muguet, jasmine, linden blossom, gardenia, orangeflower and dune rose on a backdrop of driftwood and sun-warmed musk. Beautiful!

Since this is probably the closest thing I'll ever get to the hamptons I think I should try it!
If it smells anything like their tanning oil, I'll definitely buy the perfume. After I got my first bottle last year as a gift (in the Hamptons, no less!), it immediately became my favorite tanning product ever -- mostly because of the way it smells. Definitely a GIANT step up from Coppertone lotion I grew up with!
I too received the tanning oil and lotion as a gift from my generous cousin. The scent is light and elegant. I would love to have the hampton "Privet Bloom" scent all year long. Sign me up for a bottle.
what a pretty perfume bottle...reminds me of spring so much. the scent sounds really nice!
The history of perfume goes back to Egypt, although it was prevalent in East Asia as well. Early perfumes were based on incense, not chemicals, so aromas were passed
around through fumes. The Roman and Islamic cultures further refined the harvesting and manufacturing of perfumery processes to include other aromatic ingredients.
Thus, the ancient Islamic culture marked the history of modern perfumery with the introduction of spices and herbs. Fragrances and other exotic substances, such as
Jasmine and Citruses, were adapted to be harvested in climates outside of their indigenous Asia.
Choosing the right perfume can be difficult and because it is also considered an intimate gift buying the wrong perfume can backfire on you and get you the opposite result of that which you hoped for.
The first thing you need to do is do some homework, meaning research. Look at your lady's perfume bottles, the ones that are nearly empty will be her favorites. If there is one there that is nearly full chances are she doesn't wear it often or doesn't like it. Hint around and ask her what types of fragrances she likes and dislikes.
Humans are very sensory oriented and our sense of smell is no different. Certain perfumes can elicit strong reactions in both the wearer and the person reacting to the scent. Perfumes are made not only to attract but to also relax someone. If you aren't totally sure what kind of perfume to buy you can always play it safe and get something in the aromatherapy line. If you go this route, bear in mind that vanilla scents are considered to relax and a peppermint or lemon scent will be more stimulating.
