Elizabeth Arden

Elizabeth Arden was a woman ahead of her time and was a true pioneer in the way she approached life and business, not to mention the field of beauty. She was a creative visionary and an equally smart businesswoman who had the drive to make her dreams come true, this ethos and life is expressed in her beautiful and innovative fragrance line that continue to define generations. Each one is finely crafted and distinctively crafted for a unique expression.

Ermengildo Zegna

Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna has teamed up with Yves Saint Laurent Beauty to create a line of fragrance products as unique as its clothing designs. A fragrance collection that is not only sure to please Zegna fans - it will convert new ones. Each Ermenegildo Zegna fragrance offers a fresh and ultimately chic accesory that embodies his luxurious and relaxed attitude to fashion and life.

Escada

Escada creates classic fragrances, expressions of elegance and sophisticated beauty which are based on the same values that have been at the center of the Escada fashion empire for over 20 years. Original and modern fragrance concepts are added every year as new fragrance interpretations of Escada's spring fashion collections and are uplifting fragrances to enhance your mood and increase your passion for life.

-------------------------
Perfume
This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other concentrations of fragrance.
EDP
Eau de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance. Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance.
EDT
Eau de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means of wearing a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
EDC
Eau de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by Napoleon. These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst. As a result of this process, EDC’s or Eau de Colognes last the least amount of time on the skin and can dissolve within a couple of hours. EDC’s should be worn as a invigorating spray.
