Ungaro

Born into an family of Italian tailor's in Aix-en-Provence, Emanuel Ungaro soon learnt his subtle craft and over 30 years ago began to create the ideals and designs that would be the foundation of his own Fashion House. Throughout his presigious career Emanuel Ungaro has been labelled the “maverick fashion designer” and aims to produce designs and olfactory creations that appear to the wearer to be free of constraints, yet full passion and colour. His designs and fragrances have become a figure of reference in the fashion world and continue to inspire and spark creativity in the wearer and onlooker.

Urban Decay

The beauty of Urban Decay is in expressing that extraordinary beauty of yours, any way you well please it to be expressed. Urban Decay cosmetics, body products and perfumes have no rules, no formulas for how they should be worn; just a lot of pretty pots, tubes, scents, shimmers (some of which are lickable) and sparkles. Why don't you have fun, experiment, and take a chance on color and fragrance with one of their unique products. Urban Decay is not about blending in, but rather standing out in a crowd - because you are no ordinary beauty!

Perfume
This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other concentrations of fragrance.
EDP
Eau de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance. Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance.
EDT
Eau de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means of wearing a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
EDC
Eau de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by Napoleon. These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst. As a result of this process, EDC’s or Eau de Colognes last the least amount of time on the skin and can dissolve within a couple of hours. EDC’s should be worn as a invigorating spray.
