Have you ever been transported to another place by the smell of something fantastic? For me, it's immediate with Beach Days.

Thanks to The Good Home Co., you can have the beach even when you're hundreds of miles away. I had forgotten how truly intoxicating this scent was until yesterday. I was pulling clothes for an upcoming TV shoot at one of my favorite local boutiques, Cottage Chic, and picked up this unbelievably yummy fabric softener.

This euphoric scent took me back many, many years ... when I first tried it (before kids). I can't remember why I stopped using it (... perhaps the cost). Now, I want everything in my house to smell like Beach Days. Mmmmmm!

I am a Clive Christian fragrance devotee. My favorite scent of all times is, none other than, No. 1. Of course I'd fall in love with the most expensive perfume in the world! It's sensually addicting.

Clive Christian has just released its newest fragrance of the collection, C. And it is hot! Rose and jasmine absolute meet violet and tuberose. However, you can't just get it anywhere. In fact, it's only available via pre-order at the moment. With top notes of bergamot, coriander seed, lie de vin, narcisse, geranium, mandarin, petitgrain and tagete; heart notes of tuberose, jasmine, rose, violet, osmanthus, ylang ylang, orange flower and cistus; and base notes of amber, vetiver, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk, it's sure to seduce the soul!

As with all Clive Christian fragrances, C comes in both a women's and men's version. Enjoyment had by all. Pre-order yours for $375 at Neiman Marcus. Happy smelling!

Get out of town (if you're not local)! One of my very favorite people on the planet is coming to Charlotte and you must meet him.

Ulrich Lang, fragrance designer extraordionaire, will be at Jeffre Scott, Charlotteʼs premier one-stop shop for luxury beauty products and services, this Friday and Saturday.

As Father's Day is just around the corner, why not give the gift of scent! Lang will help guests choose the perfect fragrance for their man. My personal favorite, Anvers 2. It's super yummy!

Sure to delight your senses, Nightscape, the newest fragrance to the Ulrigh Lang New York collection, is a modern, masculine take on the classics with hints of patchouli, cedarwood and musk. And let me tell you, it's sexy. Delish!

Friday, June 11: 12pm - 6pm
Saturday, June 12: 11am - 2pm
@ Jeffre Scott in Myers Park

Don't miss meeting Ulrich. He is not only an amazing fragrance designer, but also a truly amazing person!

Completely and utterly intoxicating, Van Cleef & Arpels' Bois D'Iris Eau de Parfum is my favorite scent of the moment. Thanks to my sister, I have been introduced to a classic, yet enchanting, fragrance that leaves me breathless. Meant to replicate the scent of driftwood on the seashore, this blend is undoubtedly feminine and sexy. Seriously, I want to bathe in this stuff!

Precious essences of exotic wood are punctuated with a vibrant, salty note of ambergris, while a beautiful powdery iris lends soft elegance, reminiscent of Tuscany.

Van Cleef & Arpels pays tribute to nature with a range of magnificent fragrant compositions inspired by its LesJardins ("The Gardens") jewelry range. And Bois D'Iris Eau de Parfum does not disappoint. A bit finicky when it comes to scent, it was love at first smell for me. This one is a keeper. However, I find myself sneaking sniffs of my arm throughout the day, which can be a bit embarrassing when caught.
