Behind the scenes at the photo shoot for Sarah Jessica Parker's SJP NYC. No sound, which makes it rather dull unless you really like looking at pictures of a) shoes, b) dresses and c) Sarah Jessica Parker.
Palatable to everybody
It has taken me three years to decide on the scent because I really like B.O. and I think it's sexy. I wanted to figure out a way to make it palatable to everybody.

Sarah Jessica Parker Covet Pure Bloom ~ fragrance review
Sarah Jessica Parker’s latest is Covet Pure Bloom, the first (and if I had to guess, the last*) flanker to last year’s Covet fragrance. Covet may or not be discontinued, but it has disappeared from several department stores so I can only assume that it was not the instant crowd pleaser that Lovely was.

Covet’s opening was more challenging than Lovely’s, and to my mind, it was considerably more challenging on paper than it was on skin — on a test strip, it was very lemony-green and sharp and reminiscent of citronella, and it stayed that way a good long time. I didn’t think of it as a wildly risky fragrance, but perhaps anything that isn’t an instant crowd pleaser (especially on paper) is risky given today’s competitive celebrity fragrance market.
