Fragrance
John Varvatos I spent most of my adult life searching for a signature scent (that Liz Claiborne Realities was just a phase) and this is it. An intoxicating and surprising combination of fresh citrus, soft floral, and spicy amber, it stops people every time I wear it. Totally worth the wait.

Happy Holiday Weekend!
I'm always so very sad to see summer go (winter never fails to follow), but am looking forward to a long weekend in which I will drink margs with dear friends and ogle George Clooney in The American.
