Products With a Purpose: NEST’s Passion Candle Honors Evelyn Lauder

Jun 17, 2013 @ 2:50 pm

Evelyn Lauder passed away in 2011 after a long battle with breast cancer, and her influence still continues in the beauty world. To honor the icon for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the company’s founder and CEO Laura Slatkin blended Lauder’s favorite note of flowering pittosporum with rose, sandalwood, and peony to create the upcoming Passion candle. “I was inspired to create Passion after hearing Evelyn’s husband Leonard lovingly announce his commitment to continuing her critically important work,” Slatkin said. “They were in this fight together, and NEST candles is pleased to join them in their efforts. Evelyn’s passion and dedication to finding a cure for and preventing breast cancer by establishing the Breast Cancer Foundation are legendary.” Ten percent of each Passion candle sold will benefit the foundation. Find the NEST Passion Candle at department stores and nestfragrances.com for $28 in October.

Justin Bieber’s Girlfriend Fragrance Won Two Awards

Jun 13, 2013 @ 5:33 pm

What does a winner smell like? According to the Fragrance Foundation, it’s Justin Bieber. The star’s Girlfriend scent, a super-sweet blend of pear, strawberry, pink freesia, and vanilla orchid, won two awards at last night’s 2013 Fragrance Foundation Awards, taking home honors for Fragrance of the Year and the Consumer’s Choice category. The latter was a fan-nominated award, which prompted Beliebers everywhere to sing their praises. “When Justin tweets ‘good night ladies,’ tens of thousands of girls say ‘good night’ back,” said Elizabeth Arden executive vice president and chief marketing officer Kathy Widmer. “This gave us a pretty good idea of the response Justin would get when he asked his fans to support his fragrance winning the Consumer’s Choice Award.” And the response was definitely heard — when we polled our readers to see which celebrity fragrance should win a FiFi award, over 37,000 of you voted in support of Girlfriend. Pick up the winning scent for $60 at macys.com.

The Fragrance Foundation Awards took place in New York City last night, and it made for one of the best-smelling awards shows we’ve ever attended. Hosted by Dana Carvey, the event — known in the industry as the FiFis — celebrated the year’s biggest accomplishments in fragrance, and stars like Jessica Szohr (in KaufmanFranco), Taylor Swift (in Pucci), Dita Von Teese (in Maria Lucia Hohan), and Connie Britton (in Zac Posen) lined the red carpet to lend their support to their favorite whiffs. The night was especially notable for Swift, who was honored as the Fragrance Celebrity of the Year. She also took the opportunity to officially launch her new scent Taylor by Taylor Swift, which she wore on the red carpet (Editor’s Note: She smelled really good). “My first fragrance, Wonderstruck, was all about enchantment and represented a fantasy,” she told us on the red carpet. “Taylor by Taylor Swift represents me in my everyday life.” Scroll down to see the full list of this year’s Fragrance Foundation Award winners.
