Diorissimo

Since my birthday is on the first day of spring I am partial to the fresh and light fragrances that evoke the season.

Diorissimo is the perfume that I wear when I want to feel like I’m home in the springtime, with all of the delicate blooms filling the damp air. My absolute favorite being lily of the valley. Growing like weeds in my home state of Michigan, this flower always inspires me to stop and smell and breathe. Sigh.

This classic perfume debuted in 1956. A classic worn by Princess Grace of Monaco. Heavy on the lily of the valley and other white flowers it has a clean fresh note that keeps it from being too sweet.

More than 50 years later Diorissimo is reinventing itself. Well, Francois Demanchy (Dior’s in house nose) is.

I can’t imagine my beloved scent needs an upgrade or reinvention. By adding black currant, neroli, Turkish rose and Egyptian jasmine, it it supposed to be a sexier version.

In my opinion, it was sexy enough as an innocent, elegant fragrance.

arrarahauLugh: i really enjoy your writing taste, very remarkable, don't quit and also keep penning due to the fact that it simply worth to look through it, impatient to view alot more of your current well written articles, cheers

Kendra: My hair is fine and now that the dry winter air is here - I have horrible static! What would help without weighing it down?

Jessica: Ashley, there are so many great hairstyles for short curly hair! First get a good haircut. Short hair needs to be more than just short. It needs a shape that enhances your features. And try to avoid a too round shape. Keep it a bit shorter on the sides. Embrace your natural texture and define your natural curls with a curl enhancing product that will tame frizz. Twist curls into place and if necessary use a small barrel curling iron to coax stubborn pieces into shape. Unless you intend on wearing your curls straightened, I recommend avoiding bangs with shorter curly styles.

Ashley: If someone has short, curly hair, are there any cute hairstyles can be accomplished?
