GRETA GARBO’S ROSE BATH

Picture this: Greta Garbo at Carlyle – a superstar who chose herself above Hollywood’s siren song.

Triple milled, each exquisite bar is hand molded one by one using 19th century equipment, aged for 60 days in ventilated cabinets, and then hand-wrapped.

The all-natural whole milk formula is infused with the classic Florentine scent of pomegranate oil for a lather that is rich, gentle and softly moisturizing. And because each soap is hand pressed, all Santa Maria Novella soaps will last about three times longer than ordinary soaps while maintaining their shape and scent. Suitable for all skin types.

She travels in any direction the wind decides to blow, languid and free without the slightest worry in the world. Unbound by the restrictions of time, she follows her careless whims instead.

The sun is already high in the sky when she wakes on a bed of hay, a resting place not unfamiliar after a night drenched in the hazy pleasures of wine.

A soupçon of dried sweat mixed with a veil of cigarette smoke lingers on her skin, a scent intensified by the blaze of the afternoon heat. Who knows what today will hold? Life is just meant to be lived and she is La Femme Bohème.

Conjuring up images of turquoise waters shimmering beneath the dazzling sun, the Blue Lagoon Shower Gel is an exhilarating new body care product that leaves your skin purified and freshly fragranced. 

Like the fine foam that graces the white sandy shores of a lagoon, the delicate, creamy lather of this fresh and salty gel tenderly cleanses your face and body. This light and seductive azure blue shower gel warms with the water to release a fragrance of the sea with a touch of musk, transporting you to far-off lands.

Green and pure notes of driftwood are swept along in a salty wave of sensual splendour. The Blue Lagoon Shower Gel complements the virtues of other beauty care products in the LIGNE ST BARTH range.

For Commune de Paris – the rebellious and edgy label created by three Parisian creators of fashion and product design – Astier de Villatte and Françoise Caron have imagined Cologne 1871, a subversive Eau de Cologne.

At first, it hits like an explosion of Sicily lemons, with rosemary and bergamot. But under its acid and cheeky exterior, Cologne 1871 hides the ineffable charm of the powdery scents characteristic of its time.

Suave labdanum, benzoin, cedar wood and patchouli are combined with the first two synthetic molecules ever created by man – coumarin that smells like cut grass, and benzalehide that smells like almonds – giving it a unique flavour.

• Apollo - Hyacinth Alberto Morillas chose to focus on the stem of the hyacinth, rather than its petals, in creating this green, floral fantasy.  The addition of pear accord gives it a sugary note and makes it as mineral and watery as the flower sap itself.  It is incredibly elegant and subtle, all the way to its warm, soothing, woody finish. 

• Virgin - Lily of the Valley Pierre Negrin conceived this delightful lily like a tower of glass, where all is visible from the start, from top to bottom.  The tingle of a citrus, the beauty of the Lily and the softness of musks, are all present at once.  The result is a Lily floating in the air in all its white purity. 

• Regal Tuberose This tuberose in the jungle was born from the travel memories of its creator.  Strong, intoxicating and proud of its celebrated lineage in fragrance history...with a twist.  A drop of grapefruit juice and a sting of pepper make it the most modern Tuberose fragrance alive.

• Celestial Jasmine A flower with a Persian origin has been re-imagined by Greek perfumer Ilias Ermemidis who was born in Istanbul. A perfect clash between the white sparkle of Jasmine petals, the sensuality of ambergris and the darker carnal effect of amber.

• Sultry Rose Eric's signature flower demanded an iconic indelible fragrance interpretation.  This Rose is only that: a Rose.  A resplendent, unforgettable, haunting Rose.  Created by master perfumer Ilias Ermenidis for himself a long while ago, it was given to Eric as an homage to his floral artistry.

• Velvet Lavender  Both Eric and master perfumer Harry Fremont grew up with lavender.  in fact, the entire back of Eric's floral shop is still covered with the flower.  This creation is all warmth and sensuality, balance and intrigue.  Vanilla, sage, sandalwood and musk, come through. but Lavender is the host, present from beginning to end.

• Fragile Violet  Violet fragrances are typically all leaf (greener, watery), or all petal (sweeter, powdery, woody floral).  Alberto Morillas refused to choose and created a fragrance in equilibrium.  The result is a gorgeous, delicate work of art that stays close to the skin and feels clean and resplendent all at once.

Famous throughout Europe, these amazing papers, which are exactly as they were in the 16th century, remove odors from any space with their frankincense and myrrh scent. Simply take one paper, fold into an accordion shape and light one end, then, blow out flame.

You will see that the paper reacts like incense and because of the accordion fold you should be able to stand it on its side.

Burn for approximately 5 minutes to remove odors (staleness, dampness or mold, cooking odors). You will smell the fragrance as well as the slight scent of burning paper. Always place on a glass or ceramic surface (Plate or bowl) to burn. Will cause ash which is easily washed off. Can also be used as scented papers placed directly in drawers or closets. 18 scented papers per box.

Pourquoi naître esclave (Why born a slave) is the name given by sculptor and painter Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875) to a series of busts he created around 1870.

At the heights of his career, enjoying the protection of Napoleon III, Carpeaux was commissioned by the city of Paris to design the Fontaine de l’Observatoire and slightly modified the theme imposed on him – the four cardinal points – by replacing them with allegoric characters personifying Europe, Africa, Asia and America.

While he was working on the representation of Africa, he came up with the idea of the bust of the Négresse Captive. Obsessed with faithful representations of human movement, he sculpted his slave at an angle in order to express revolt. The story goes that the woman who posed for the bust might have also been the model of the “Capresse des colonies” by Charles Cordier in 1861.

This little-known copy of Marie-Antoinette of Austria is attributed to one of the Brachard brothers, either the eldest, Jean-Charles-Nicolas or the youngest, Jean-Nicolas-Alexandre.

This object is an idealized portrait of the queen instead of the evocation of a sovereign at the height of her power. The head is slightly turned to the right; the shoulders are covered with a swath of fabric for a natural effect; she is wearing a crown decorated with a fleur-delis and a row of pearls.

As one of the most famous and controversial women in French History, Marie-Antoinette was the object of many artistic representations. Many valuable pieces disappeared during the French Revolution. Fortunately, some copies have survived the upheavals of time.

Bitter Orange was the fragrance of Agraria's very first product in 1970 – a handmade potpourri. This signature fragrance is a complex and subtle blend that permeates the air with addictive waves of clove, the zest of bitter orange and just a touch of cypress. 

Agraria was introduced in New York in 1975, at the front door of the original Henri Bendel’s at 10 West 57th, and each time someone opened the door, the fragrance floated out onto the sidewalk. Vogue Magazine quoted Michael Kors as saying, “I just thought 57th Street smelled like Bitter Orange.”

First tossed in sheets in the back room of the Agraria shop on Nob Hill in 1970, it's best described by The New York Times as "uplifting, mysterious and androgynous in its appeal." With roses from Bulgaria, lavender from France, rosemary from Spain and rose hips from Chile, we still hand-pack each box and decorate the top with orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and dried zinnias or hydrangeas, depending on the season. Over 35 years later, people still refer to it as "Park Avenue Potpourri."

A refreshing and luscious marriage that combines the essence of sweet balsam, California redwood, a hint of French sage and the bouquet of white flowers. Balsam was the fragrance of Agraria's very first candle, but at the time in 1970, it was just called the “Agraria Candle.” With the introduction of the Bitter Orange Candle the name was officially changed to Balsam.

Agraria's Perfume Candles are presented in a decorative crystal glass that is a modern interpretation of the woven palm leaf cases that were an Agraria trademark in the 1980s. 

The intricate glass pattern accentuates the movement of the flame to create a luminous and mesmerizing glow. Featuring hand-twisted lead-free wicks, each hand-poured candle is clean-burning and beautifully fragrant.

Each 7oz candle includes a silver-plate lid stamped with the Agraria crest. Approximate burning time: 30-40 hours

Helvetolide®

Part of the latest generation of synthetic musks (the oldest one goes back to 1888), Helvetolide® is particularly valued for its delectable pear note, reminiscent of ambrette, a vegetal musk extracted from hibiscus seeds. It was patented in 1991 by the Swiss company Firmenich, hence its name, derived from Helvetia, the Latin term for Switzerland.

The scent: Zero Gravity Musk

Helvetolide® gives off a softly enveloping, long-lasting aura; an otherworldly feeling of stillness and weightlessness. Rather than using Helvetolide® in a “classic” way to enhance other notes, Frank Voelkl boosts its ethereal vibe in a futuristic composition that seems to conjure the scent of zero gravity.

A pink pepper comet brings out its fruitiness. Cool, metallic iris underlines its affinities with ambrette (which has an iris facet). A nebula of vanilla, tonka bean and ambergris underline its sensuousness. In German, adrett means “neat” or “dapper”: in this spare, smartly trimmed scent, each element is essential – as it would be in outer space.
