3 Irresistible Fragrances for Valentine’s Day

Posted on February 14, 2015 | Leave a comment

To all the lovers of scents: three irresistible Fragrances for the Valentine’s Day and spring. Gentlemen, think to add with this nice attention: an exuberant bouquet of red-fuchsia peonies for a change, a fine jewels (diamonds are best friends of your girlfriends) or a pair of Louboutin!

Evening Rose of Aerin

Singular, explosive and refined for a glamorous sensual woman. An unexpected cocktail of rose and cognac, yes! I love the rose-based scents: here, with Rosa Centifolia and Rosa Bulgarian Absolute. Beautiful packaging and the bottle cap adds an extra sensuality to this strong fragrance.

Take the Evening Rose of Aerin on a wild beach in Portugal.

Jimmy Choo

Sexy, spicy and provocative for an explosive woman, inevitably a bit fatal. Sparkling hot rich fragrance with fruity and woody nuances. The packaging is a bit “too much” but that still stays chic and the bottle is super explicite. Yes, you are a sex bomb in Jimmy Choo!

Take your Jimmy Choo (fragrance & shoes) to a city trip in Paris, London and New York baby!

Cherry Blossom L’Eau of L’Occitane

Happy, subtle and airy for a mysterious graceful mischievous woman. This Eau de parfum (“eau” means water) is light and fresh, like a smile. The flowers of cherry trees of Luberon (in the South of France) symbolize the renewal, spring and contagious sense of happiness. Spray it from head to toes to feel flying!

Take the Cherry Blossom L’eau to celebrate Hanami in Kyoto or The Royal Greenhouses in Laeken

I tested the binoculars CL Pocket 8×25

I love being surrounded by nature

but I must confess I’m not a bird watcher. I’m more obsessed with the Ocean and I really like spending my freetime to walk along the coast to enjoy the endless view and sometimes surfer friends in the water. When I received the beautiful binoculars CL Pocket 8×25, I decided to try them in Sagres, one of my favourite part of Portugal.

So I went to the Fortress of Sagres (Fortaleza de Sagres), overlooking a cliff facing the Atlantic Ocean with spectacular views. The fortress is near Cape St. Vincent, the most easterly point on the south-western part of Portugal. A very windy area, but this time I was lucky, no wind and an incredible light. I guess the best conditions to test binoculars and make these pictures.

Bel objet, great luxury design

The binoculars CL Pocket are so small and compact that they are easy to slip into a small bag. By cons I found them a bit heavy to put in the pocket of my jacket. Finally I’ve kept them around my neck.

It wasn’t so easy to adjust both lens. Believe me or not, it was the first time I used binoculars (yep!). And as I never read the instructions before (LOL)… When I succeeded, what fun! It was like a new world opened up to me! Even the birds have started to become more interesting to me! Unfortunately, the lens of my camera is not able to show the scale of what I was looking through the binoculars.

I’ve never thought binoculars could change as much my perception of what surrounded me. The quality of the lens definition is amazing! It’s like having the full picture with all of the details.

Ayana Resort & Spa, Bali: Thalassotherapy & The Rock Bar

Thalassotherapy At The Thermes Marins Spa

Sparkling Happy New Year to everyone! Here’s a post that is specially aimed at those who have eaten too much chocolate, champagne and whatnot … during the holidays : ) And also to travelers before a long haul flight.

Invited by the luxurious Ayana Resort and Spa, I had the pleasure to experience a thalassotherapy at the Thermes Marins Spa of the Ayana, just few hours before flying back to Europe. The goal was to prepare the body for 25 hours travel (plane and stopovers included).

Throughout the course of care that lasts 2 hours in the Aquatonic Pool, a huge pool of 700 liters of the Indian Ocean’s water, I am guided by a member of the spa staff that shows me the jets to use. I guarantee you that I felt my muscles worked deep (sometimes it was a bit painful), while enjoying a direct sea view, in a pleasant golden light of late afternoon. Happiness!

I came away softer than a mollusk, LOL! Extremely relaxed and a bit euphoric! Honestly, if I had had more time, I’ll be stayed even longer! I usually have the swollen legs and back pain in the plane, this time I slept like a new born.

A Drink At The Famous Rock Bar

Even though I am late because of the spa, no way not to make a short stop at the Rock Bar of the Ayana Resort and Spa. People can stand in line more than an hour to have a seat at the sunset time.

I know, it’s insane, but the location is great with good music! Even crazier: after sunset, the bar empties. For me, the best time is the dusk, when candles are lit and the ocean gets darker … But I gotta run to the airport, bye bye beautiful Bali!
