New Fall Fragrances
Botanically inspired Ineke Perfumes has just released two new fragrances for your perfume library.
Sweet William is fresh yet softly spicy scent. It evokes a walk though an apple orchard from the Anthropologie Floral Curiosities line is available now at Anthropologie.com. Click here for a limited-time giveaway.
Forget everything you thought you knew about gardenia scents. Ineke’s Letter H for Hothouse Flower is grand dame instead of granny. It is the perfect accompaniment to either a chic pencil skirt or an evening dress. The latest addition to the alphabet series is a rare earthy gardenia fragrance now available at Ineke.com with free shipping on orders placed before September 30th.

Eastern Inspiration: gilded lilies light up the Fog City summer
Inspired by the lovely golden flower from Japan, artisanal San Francisco-based perfumer INeKE and the Alembic are both currently serving up the Gilded Lily in the form of a seductive eau to parfum and a decadent cocktail.
The champagne cocktail takes its name from the stunning gold leaf sheen on the surface of the drink, capturing the delicate sweetness of its floral namesake with hints of herbaceous chartreuse, orange blossom water and gin softly transported to your nose and mouth by the gentle effervescence of demi sec.
INeKE translates the Asiatic lily more literally from the gorgeous muse blooming in her front garden into a sexy modern chypre fragrance with a soft whisper of fruit.
Angelinos will be lucky to get the first sniff of Gilded Lily eau de parfum at its Nordstrom launch tomorrow and Saturday (8.27 + 8.28) in Santa Monica.
INeKE’s latest addition to its perfume alphabet – G for Gilded – will be available in late September 2010 online or at the following SF retailers:
Azalea 411 Hayes Street Nest 2300 Fillmore Street Gumps 135 Post Street Carrots 843 Montgomery Street Circle & Square 344 Presidio Street.
