Gift Idea: Child Perfume Candle

For everyone who’s ever put California Dreamin’ at the top of their playlist – for those who crave the beachy vibe of the California lifestyle – for the person who wants to play among the dunes, feel the surf between their toes, inhale the natural, heady scent of pure white flowers, just feel beautifully at ease in their own skin…there is child perfume now in a candle, new for Holiday.  $65/ 8oz.

What is it about Child Perfume that has celebrities like Jen Aniston, Hilary Duff, Jennie Garth, and so many more (Sigourney Weaver, Christina Applegate, Denise Richards, among others) gravitating to it…the allure of white florals – tuberose, magnolia, and orange blossom? The fragrance that comes across like a natural enhancement of your own scent vs. a perfume?

I have this candle and it smells divine!! I burned it last night after a shower to unwind and boy did it smell up the room, I highly suggest trying it out and it would be such a great gift idea!

child is rich and intoxicating, some call it mesmerizing yet its beauty is understated, it’s a close-to-the-skin scent that’s feminine and sensual. Just ask John Mayer – he recognizes it the moment a woman walks into the room…

The sheer, simple prettiness of the scent that brings everyone around you into a sunny, joyful state – that naturally lingers…the original oil roll-on lasts and lasts…

THE NOTES…THE HARMONY THAT IS child perfume

Inviting you to let the bright citrus notes at the top draw you into child’s powdery blend of lilac, magnolia, and vanilla then ease gracefully into a heart of jasmine, tuberose, and violet before your fragrant dream finishes with lasting notes of musk, mimosa, rose and soft woods.

Considered “a secret handshake” among fragrance lovers, child is distinctive and recognizable. It’s intoxicating, a sensual, feminine scent that’s uniquely memorable. Let summer’s warmth lead you into winter with the new child candle.

ALTAIA Atacama

The newest fragrance from ALTAIA is a beauty. I’ve been wearing it almost every day for a couple weeks and with my fragrance collection that’s saying something. I don’t wear the same one over again too often.

Atacama celebrates the line’s South American heritage and was inspired by the the Atacama desert. It’s the highest desert on earth and also the driest (parts are covered with dried salt) but also one that with a little rain brings out the blooms of pink mallow flowers throughout....

The scent is not exactly desert like but it is dry. Also creamy and beachy with a suntan lotion feel but nothing too overt, nothing that screams sunscreen. More like the coziest sunbaked beach day with the salty breeze, fragrant flowers nearby and damp driftwood. A lush jasmine, freesia, clary sage and tonka are the main notes here along with cashmere woods. The jasmine combined with the sage, a note I tend to love and then the tonka makes it cozy and nuzzly as it dries down, with a hint of vanilla sweetness. I can’t stop sniffing myself when I wear this. Atacama has good lasting power, I get whiffs of it most of the day. The sillage is light to medium.

13 Fall Fragrances Made for Sweater Weather

Now that autumn has semi-officially arrived, perfume enthusiasts are excitedly swapping out their breezy summer scents for more foliage-friendly and moody fall fragrances. 

And we can't blame them. Any autumn lover knows there's practically no point in sipping a hot pumpkin spice latte wrapped in an oversized scarf unless you smell the part too. Crimson leaves just don't have the same effect unless your aroma matches the aesthetic. Why do you think Taylor Swift takes on new eras with her meticulously planned autumn releases (remember the red scarf?!), or Starbucks debuts a fall-friendly menu come September? Autumn is more than a season: It's a vibe. And fall fragrances are of the utmost importance when it comes to establishing and maintaining the autumnal aesthetic.

Whether you're a fellow fall fanatic, or simply looking to expand your aroma horizons, read on for 13 of Glamour editors' favorite fragrances for autumn.

Eau d'Italie Mystic Sunset Eau de Parfum Spray

I just started using Eau d'Italie's Le Sirenuse Positano Mystic Sunset fragrance and it immediately shot to the top of my list. If there was ever a mist that reminded me of the magic of Positano along the Amalfi Coast, this is it. With a base note of sugarcane and cedarwood, it's romantic and cozy, and exactly what I need until I can make my way back there.

Eau d'Italie Mystic Sunset by Eau d'Italie

Italian Summers and La Dolce Vita, it's the stuff of movies and yes, perfume. Eau d'Italie takes us there with their beautiful creations and their newest scent Mystic Sunset, draws us into the warm evening near the Tyrrhenian Sea. 

Eau d'Italie is the fragrance line from the family behind the legendary Le Sirenuse Positano hotel in Italy and is exclusive to the fabulous, you want everything beauty retailer Beautyhabit. I remember Eau d'Italie well from years back when I went to NYC on sniffing excursions. It has been some time since I visited with the line and they recently revamped their look. 

Inspired by the setting sun over Positano's bay and created by perfumer Marie Salamagne, the heavy weighted glass bottle holds the scent of cassis (blackcurrant), osmanthus, cane sugar, saffron, jasmine and cedar. 

I am not always a fan of cassis, it depends. Here I really like it, as it's not too sweet or overdone. More the fresh fruit that's not overripe, maybe even a little tart. The cane sugar also doesn't make it too sweet but is just enough. The light florals are barely there and mix nicely while the saffron keeps it all a little dry. The cedar definitely shows up as it dries down but in no way overwhelms the rest of the scent.

Mystic Sunset is sunny, calm, easy to wear and subtly sultry. Not shy but not too bold it takes you away without leaving your yard. Can't get to Italy? Go there via scent.

Mystic Sunset is new from Eau d'Italie (available @beautyhabit) the fragrance line from the family behind the legendary Le Sirenuse Positano hotel in Italy. I remember L'Eau D'Italie well from years back when I went to Lafco in NYC on sniffing excursions. It has been some time since I visited with the line and they now have a new look. 

Mystic Sunset is a beauty and reaffirms that I really like Italian perfume houses. The fragrance celebrates the setting sun over Positano's bay and the notes include cassis (blackcurrant), osmanthus, cane sugar, saffron, jasmine and cedar.

Now I am not often a fan of cassis, it depends. Here I really like it, it's not too sweet or overdone. More the fresh fruit that's not overipened, maybe a little tart. The cane sugar also doesn't make it too sweet but is just enough. The light florals are barely there and mix nicely while the saffron keeps it all a little dry.  The cedar definitely shows up as it dries down but in no way overwhelms the rest of the scent. 

Sunny, calm, easy to wear and subtly sultry, this takes you away without leaving your yard. Can't get to Italy? Go there via scent.

Eau d'Italie Mystic Sunset Eau de Parfum: The 24 Best New Summer 2022 Fragrances

Mystic Sunset Eau de Parfum

The sun setting behind the cliffs of Positano has captivated and inspired people for centuries, from the ancient Romans to modern times. As the sun turns into a red disc before slipping away, it gives off mystical qualities, which was the inspiration for this lush modern gourmand. A blend of cassis, Osmanthus, jasmine, saffron, cane sugar and cedarwood creates a floral fruitiness.

Eau d'Italie Eau de Parfum by Eau d'Italie: How to Make a Fragrance Memory of a Place You Love

New insights on how your brain connects a smell with a destination can help you get the most joy out of your next vacation—and your next scent purchase.

Experimental psychologist Pamela Dalton doesn’t remember the first time she smelled cilantro. If she had to associate the scent with something, or someplace, it would probably be the supermarket, where she sniffed it to confirm what it wasn’t: parsley. But that changed a few years ago when she was traveling through Vietnam. She was wandering around a night market around 2 a.m., and the air was redolent with the earthy, citrusy aroma of cilantro. She says the intensity was overwhelming. To this day, when she smells cilantro, she’s transported. “It all comes back to me, the experience of walking through that market, the chatter of the vendors—it’s like I’m there again.”

Dalton knows this experience is special because, as a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center, in Philadelphia, it’s part of her job to study the relationship between scent and memory. She explains that her brain created a new association with an odor—something that doesn’t happen that often by adulthood, when many scents are familiar. “Familiar scents don’t become uniquely associated with new places unless there’s something emotional going on,” she explains. In Dalton’s case, the moment was emotional—she was on vacation experiencing the joy of discovery—but, she says, the herbal scent was also unfamiliar—sweeter and more perfumed than supermarket cilantro.

Scent memories—whether they’re linked to a location or not—tend to be more emotionally charged than memories triggered by sounds or visual cues. This is because the olfactory bulb in the brain that processes smells is directly connected to both the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center, and the hippocampus, which is responsible for encoding memories in the brain. In fact, last year, researchers (using advanced neuroimaging techniques) found that our olfactory system is more strongly connected to the hippocampus than our sensory systems for other senses like vision, touch, and hearing. In December, a different group of scientists, studying rats, discovered olfactory neurons that can encode spatial maps of different locations. “For some reason, evolution has granted our brains the ability to link an odor with a location,” says Dalton.

Scientists are just starting to understand the intersection of location and scent, but perfumers have been exploring these connections for years. There are entire fragrance collections, like Memo Paris and Gallivant, designed to evoke destinations through scent. And many of the best perfumes have the ability to transport: With its orange blossom and green cactus pepper notes, D.S. & Durga’s new scent Sweet Do Nothing bottles West Texas in the spring, while Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle Mimosa captures a summer day on the French Riviera.

And have you ever noticed how the aromas of certain hotels and resorts get lodged in your memory? That’s often intentional, says Dawn Goldworm, cofounder of the olfactive branding firm 12.29. “Smell is the most acute way for a brand to create a connection with a customer—and often that emotional, tangible connection translates into loyalty,” she says.

Le Sirenuse in Positano, Italy, was one of the first resorts with a signature fragrance, but Sebastián Alvarez Murena, whose wife’s family founded the hotel, says it wasn’t a branding exercise. They simply wanted to commemorate Le Sirenuse’s 50th anniversary, which had passed without fanfare (a party in the fall of 2001 was canceled because of 9/11). In the spring of 2002, Murena, his wife, Marina Sersale, and a few other family members were on the hotel’s terrace discussing ways to celebrate, when someone came up with the idea of doing a fragrance. Two years later, they released Eau d’Italie, which has notes of blackcurrant, magnolia, and bergamot—the legendary aroma of the Amalfi Coast. But the thing that makes it special is a unique accord reminiscent of the terrace where the project was conceived: “Argile,” says Murena, using the French word for clay. Throughout the hotel, there are terracotta tiles and vases, as well as amphorae; when the sun hits them in the summer, the air is perfumed with their sweet and dusty mineral scent. “I can’t explain why it’s so popular—I’m not a psychologist,” says Murena. “But people wear Eau d’Italie and it reminds them of Le Sirenuse, of Positano, of happy times.”

These days, resorts with signature scents are ubiquitous. The Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa infuses its rooms with a blend of fig, bergamot, jasmine and freesia. The black-tea fragrance of Edition hotels is available in candle form and scents all their Le Labo toiletries.

Goldworm, who has developed fragrances for Thompson Hotels and Ritz-Carlton properties, says turning a location into a fragrance is an art, and she often relies on color to facilitate the journey. “If you ask someone to describe how a certain place smells, they usually don’t have the words,” she says. “But color helps to bridge the part of the brain that smells with the part of the brain that speaks.” Goldworm says that people all around the world tend to associate the same smells with the same colors, so when she begins a new project, that’s often where she starts.

“When I created a scent for the Montage resort in Cabo [San Lucas, Mexico], the team there wanted me to look at the local plants and flowers, but they also wanted me to watch the sunset,” she says. Hotel guests say the Pacific sunsets—fiery reds, intense oranges, soft yellows—are one of the best things about the location. The fragrance Goldworm designed plays off the colors of that ocean sky at dusk: “We used lemon-like bergamot and a juicy mandarin.”

Will lighting a candle or spraying a perfume replace a vacation? Of course not. But don’t underestimate smell’s ability to uplift, transport, and even orient you. Dalton says most people don’t recognize that power until it’s gone, as some Covid-19 patients understand firsthand. Those who experience anosmia, or loss of smell, report feeling disoriented and lost. They’re describing their emotional state, but perhaps the choice of words hints at something deeper.

Dalton interviewed a flight attendant years ago who’d been in a car accident and sustained a brain injury that caused anosmia. When she began traveling again for work, she often had trouble remembering where she was. “She almost didn’t know which city she was in because she didn’t have the smells—the scent of a metro or a market—to ground her,” says Dalton.

You can also pre-plan your scent memory: Next time you travel, pack a fragrance you haven’t worn before and use it throughout the trip. Then, reach for it in the future whenever you want to be reminded of your vacation. Or, whenever you find yourself somewhere new this summer, take a moment to stop and really smell the roses—or the market air, terracotta tiles, or salty sunset. You just may make a memory that lasts a lifetime.
