Yosh Sottile, Ginger Ciao & Omnistar ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Jessica on 17 September 2020 9 Comments

The early-2020 closing of the Barneys New York flagship store on Madison Avenue was a sad moment for me. I’ve been shopping there for fragrance and makeup for longer than I care to admit, and I have happy memories of meeting the creators of various cosmetics and perfume brands during “personal appearance” events on the beauty floor. One of those creators was Yosh Han, whose line of perfume oils was carried by Barneys and was popular amongst Makeup Alley perfumistas in the early 2000s. I remember chatting briefly with Yosh and telling her how much I liked Winter Rose, among other scents in her collection.

I always kept an eye (and a nose) on Yosh’s work and even ran into her from time to time during her recurring New York visits.

I ran into an Ulta this past weekend, for the first time in ages. I had a specific goal and little time, so I did not even look at the perfumes, but I did manage one spur-of-the-moment purchase (so this is not, strictly speaking, still a lemming for me): Heritage Store Aura Glow Gel Cream, in Hydrating Rose. It smells just like the Heritage Rosewater & Glycerin spray I've been using for years, and probably accomplishes nothing more, but it does feel nice on the skin and it promises more positive energy — who doesn't need more positive energy? "Perfect for all skin types, the Hydrating Rose Gel Cream refreshes, smooths and locks in moisture for dewy, more radiant skin. And because Heritage Store believes in positive energy, this cream is crystal-infused with harmonizing Rose Quartz. Infused with Rose Quartz to help bring harmony and positive energy to your life." $18.99 for 50g, and also available in Clarifying Lemon, Brightening Citrus and Calming Lavender.

Enough to make me care about Valentine's Day: the Frédéric Malle Roses Coffret, with 7 ml bottles of Lipstick Rose, Portrait of a Lady, Promise, Rose & Cuir and Une Rose ($175 at Bloomingdales). And why not throw in one of the newly (and betterly) repackaged perfume guns in Rosa Rugosa (€140 for 450 ml at Frédéric Malle in the EU)?
