Hardy Amies, the British couture house, has released Hardy Amies Eau de Parfum.
The chypre fragrance was created in collaboration with Roja Dove and features notes of petitgrain, clary sage, ylang ylang, jasmine, rose, patchouli, hay, tobacco leaf, lemon oil, chamomile, bergamot and myrrh. Available in the UK in Hardy Amies and Space NK.
Hilary Duff will release her first fragrance in fall 2006. (both above via Women's Wear Daily)
Hey, I like the sound of that Hardy Amies. Somebody's got to smell it and report.
Space NK? Whoopee! If they give away samples, I'll try and get you one, R.
Agreed, but of course it isn't going to be me 🙂
N, forgive my ignorance, but what is Space NK? A department store? A fragrance boutique?
And of course I would love a sample if they are handing them out like candy 🙂
Hilary Duff and I have the same bday lol
Well then happy birthday, I think — the article said she had just turned 18 (?)
R, Space NK is a UK chain of small 'boutique' beauty shops. They specialise in the cultish lines that are really hard to find outside London – Laura Mercier, Dr. Haushka, NARS. They're the only shops where I've found Tempe Passiente and Antonia's Flowers. They believe in not bothering the customer with 'help', and they're often surprisingly generous with samples. (I'm still working off a big sample of Tempe Passiente, which is about £100 a bottle here.)
Thanks N, sounds like a store I need in my town. I love Tiempe Passate, and will buy a bottle one of these days.
