    Redbook October 2012 issue:

    Diptyque Volutes EDT was one of the Sexy Picks to Spice Up Your Fall. Soap & Paper Factory Handcream in Tuberose made it to the list as well. I’ve never heard of Soap & Paper Factory until today! Their website shows some pretty interesting stuff if you are into candles, soap, room sprays, diffusers and solid perfumes; they have 3-scent EDP collection. Picture an artisan Yankee Candle and you’ve got Soap & Paper Factory.

    There was an interview with Nicole Richie. She was asked why she wanted to create a fragrance. Her answer? She had wanted to create one since she was 12. She was inspired by her mom who grew up in the south and had a rule – You must look and smell your best when you leave the house.

    Brides October 2012 (not getting married…magazine was within easy reach at the library) – I would assume that the “wedding-worthy” fragrance list is a regular feature. Elie Saab Le Parfum EDT was the first one on the list and Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y. EDP was second. The others were Victoria’s Secret Love is Heavenly EDP, Michael Kors Gold Rose Edition EDP and finally, Salvatore Ferragamo Signorian EDP. Too bad none are in the niche/indie lines :-(
