LA just may be the land of the beautiful and the best smelling as far as I’m concerned. In town for a little business, but mostly pleasure -a wedding, I had some free time to shop between the rehersal dinner on Friday and the big event on Saturday night. First stop, the famed Apothia at Fred Segal. Tucked inside this boutique within a boutique are cult favorites like DuWop Lip Venom, Child Perfume and ooddles of shades by celebrity makeup artists Paula Dorf, Carol Shaw (Lorac) and Susan Posnick. Scoping out the fragrances, I stumbled upon Bond No. 9. I can’t say enough about this wonderful line. It’s what I call magic in a bottle. All of the fragrances are so unique and beautiful, it’s almost impossible to choose. I purchased a new favorite, Fire Island, $178.
Named after the island hideaway, that's just 90 minutes from Manhattan by train and ferry, the scent is reminiscent of freshly bathed skin, doused with premium European sunscreen then warmed up by a midday siesta on the beach. The luminous golden-yellow bottle contains top notes of cardamom, ozone, middle notes of neroli and white musk and bottom notes of skin musk, tuberose, and patchouli. The packaging has a signature token surrounded by a vibrant sunburst, a perfect reminder for those of us that don’t want the summer to fade away.
