L’Elixir

By Heart2Heart | Rustans Marketing Corp | No Comments

The Inspiration:

Flower by Kenzo L’Elixir takes inspiration from a photograph taken by Marc Riboud that evokes a strong iconic image, an image of an American young girl who joined the march against the Vietnam War on October 21, 1967 and stood in front of the Pentagon in Washington while offering a flower to the armed soldier.

The Artist:

Flower by Kenzo L’Elixir started to grow in the mind of Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas after visiting a field of Bulgarian Roses.

He said, “Growing roses is a rare family tradition. I was inspired by every aspect of it: the pickers’ gestures of collecting the flowers corolla by corolla, the sacks filled with flowers, the fields that spreads as far as the eye can see. I remember this valley bursting with flowers surrounded by mountains like an endless sea of roses.”

The Alluring Fragrance:

The fragrance embodies the image of a resilient, strong woman that captivates through her pure sensuality.

Pulpy Raspberry opens the way accented by sparkling Mandarin. The essence of Bulgarian Rose enhanced by Orange Blossom that composes a smooth and exhilarating scent. The Bourbon Vanilla Absolute distils a stylish sensuality while the Praline Accord transforms the fragrance into an addictive and delicious base. Not forgetting the powdery notes, Flower by Kenzo’s emblematic signature.

Kenzo Fragrances is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation. Available in Rustan’s and all leading department stores

Fondue for the 100th time! We had fondue so many times this year!! Last Halloween we had fondue again but before eating, we had Lilli Ann demonstrate how to make the sauces so we had a cooking lesson for the cooks and for those who wanted to learn

COOKING WITH LILLS 🙂 I set up an area in the kitchen like a cooking school 🙂 She’s perfect because she’s so patient and so motherly

Yvonne brought her cook who is already the daughter of her household staff! Lilli Ann patiently teaching us how to make the sauces She is so organised she brought everything She even made Lobster bisque soup! It’s a good thing my best friend Eds is always craving for fondue!!! it’s a good reason for us to get together! They always volunteer my house so this time I let them eat in my kitchen haha!! We’ve dined in the main dining, in the backyard and now in the kitchen ! I moved the Halloween spooky decor and set up in the kitchen table. More fun more casual

Fondue 🙂 We are lazy to cook so we just have everything cooked already haha Yummy desserts! Crepes Samurai from Roshan!! YUMMY!!! Coffee Crumble cake from Yulo – YUM!!!

Zacarias 1925 by Rita Nazareno

By Heart2Heart | Blogs | No Comments

Last month Alicia Sy told me about Rita Nazareno being in the cover of Town and Country. And she told me to look inside. And wow! I thought to myself how courageous this woman is! If you have not gotten a copy of the October issue, make sure to check it out – the inside photo and story of Rita and her cancer story Today I was so happy to meet Rita in person. Rita is an Emmy Award winning TV producer! Congrats Rita!!! Rita told me that long ago she would work with Eric Quizon and even directed the MTV of “You Are My Song” by Martin Nieverra. She just finished a script and who knows if the Skinny People will produce the movie!!

Today she designs bags under the brand. She took off from her grandmother who started in 1925 S.C. Vizcarra. Her clients are from Europe and she exhibits there twice a year! Love her bag today which can also hold a cellphone!!! How creative! She told me she travels and that’s where she gets her references for design. A photo of Rita with one of her gwapo Spanish admirers, Toñete 🙂Click below to go to her website
