New fragrance Halloween Fleur is inspired by youth. In every
culture and language there is an expression "in his prime" connected
with the beginning of life, beauty and subtlety. Many of the world's poets,
painters and artists have been inspired by the beginning of spring and the
awakening of nature ... that magical moment of the first blooming flowers. Each
flower is characterized by a variety of colors, texture of petals, freshness,
scent and unique beauty, just like any young being full of dreamy endeavors and
high ideals. The new fragrance accentuates the innocence, honesty and youth in
us, a reflection of the ability to daydream.
The 40th anniversary of the house of Crabtree & Evelyn
is celebrated by limited collection Heritage, which includes seven fragrances
among which are three flower waters and four eaux de cologne that provide
authentic Mediterranean scents. The collection calls for an olfactory journey
across the Mediterranean Sea and the historic cities of Europe .The flower waters for women are: Old World Jasmine Flower
Water, Florentine Freesia Flower Water and Venetian Violet Flower Water. They
arrive in beautiful bottles of 100 ml in silvery glass packed in cylindrical
cardboard boxes decorated with romantic illustrations. The unisex colognes
editions come in glass bottles, 100 ml.The collection will hit the shelves on
September 15, 2013 and will be available in limited number.
Blue Jasmine is the story of Jasmine’s further humbling, of
upper-class pretension dashing against the rock of working-class earthiness;
also like Streetcar, Allen’s work shares its heroine’s snobbery, the director
as appalled as Jasmine by Chili’s and Ginger’s gaucheries, their lack of
interest in high culture, their aspirational void.
A scene where Chili and
Ginger try to set up Jasmine, still clinging to her Chanel bag, with a
schlubby, grease-monkey pal of Chili’s is cringe-inducing, though more because
of the writer-director’s condescension toward his working-class characters than
for their cluelessness as matchmakers.
That said, Allen does grant Chili and
Ginger good hearts, and as a director he has elevated his occasionally
tone-deaf script by casting Bobby Cannavale and Sally Hawkins, both excellent
here.
