Perfume Break - KENZOAMOURE Eau de Toilette Florale

A Bouquet of White Flowers from New KENZOAMOUR Eau de Toilette florale

In Asia, the poets say that the purest light is written in white flowers. KENZOAMOUR Eau de Toilette florale initiates a new journey of love into the light with a feminine bouquet of delicate white blossoms. Top notes of neroli, grapefruit-black currant and essence of cardamom unfold into a floral heart of frangipani blossom, gardenia and rosebud. White musk and cedar wood complete this fresh, floral fragrance. Lulled by these gentle flowers, this new eau de toilette is inspired by the journey of love.

The star Neroli, is a delicate white flower distinctive for its refreshing floral aroma with a hint of spice. Our Neroli blossoms are harvested by hand and after distillation are combined with a unique blend of white flowers to create an elegant, sophisticated floral bouquet.

KENZOAMOUR Eau de Toilette florale begins a new voyage through Asia, following the ever-shifting sunlight as it changes all that it touches. Ukrainian-born model Olga Kurylenko has been the face of KENZOAMOUR since 2007. She rose to international fame in 2008, co-starring in the 22nd James Bond film, Quantum of Solace as Camille Montes.

Bottle Design

Karim Rashid’s design, inspired by feminine sensuality and flourishing energy, has been bathed in sunlight and lightly brushed by a poetic white mist. On the box, a luminous reinvention of the bird takes to the air.

What's in my Beach Bag? - Volume VI

Coola sunscreen was in my beach bag all weekend. I'm not sure why I haven't discovered this before. A great SPF sunscreen that is scented, who would have thought? Scents like Mango and Plumeria make me want to put this sunscreen on just for the heck of it!

My husband and I had on Total Body SPF 30 all day today and stayed pink free from the sun. It's moisturizing, hypoallergenic, water resistant and Paba/Paraben free. Another added bonus? It's organic!

I've written several reviews on SPF lip balm before and I've been really good at sticking to keeping an SPF balm on me at all times. Coola's Liplux has SPF 15, certified organic ingredients and a blend of fruit butters including organic Raspberry and Avocado. Liplux hydrates and nourishes while providing broad spectrum UV protection and natural photo protectors that work year round.

I also wore Coola FACE sunscreen with SPF 30. This unscented formula was very moisturizing and did not break out my sensitive skin. FACE was specifically created to protect, hydrate and soothe delicate facial skin. Formulated with 12 certified organic extracts including cucumber, rose hips, and comfrey which helps to tighten skin and stimulate healthy tissue growth.

From the products I tested by Coola, I can tell that they are high end by their smell, texture and most importantly, the protection they provided.
