Nicole Richie's Fragrance to Debut in September

Nicole's first fragrance, "Nicole" by Nicole Richie, will debut in stores in September. Nicole's co-star, John Varvatos, from "Fashion Star" introduced her to the producers of her perfume.

The fragrance is described as.. " opening with notes of succulent blackberry and Seville orange, has a heart of golden amber, Moroccan rose, lily of the valley and papyrus, and a drydown of sensual cashmere woods, sandalwood, sugared patchouli and vanilla absolute." Sounds pretty! "Nicole" will be available in department stores such as Macy's, Nordstrom & Dillard's.

Artisan by John Varvatos - New Men's Cologne

Askmen.com has this cologne listed as a newcomer to the cologne scene, which I wanted to bring forth.   It contains “notes of orange, providing a perfect summertime blend of citrus and floral, with opening notes that burst with mandarin soon fade to woodier notes — a quietly composed fragrance that’s both masculine and reserved.”… 
I think the whole wood concept with the blends would make for a really nice men's cologne.  Have to admit I'm taken in by the whole marketing package, along with a good scent.
