Calvin Klein Fragrance Press Breakfast

 

If you're following me on twitter, you'd know how much I like to enter giveaways/contest. By the way, FYI, I will be doing a giveaway myself here on the blog, so check back soon!

So glad that I entered this one - it was through Dave Lackie, editor of BEAUTY the guide. (Follow him, he does a lot of giveaways.) I was one of the lucky winners and the prize was to attend an exclusive press preview (for only beauty editors & journalists) of Calvin Klein's latest women's fragrance Endless Euphoria. It was held at The Gardiner Museum in Toronto last week. Not only did it included a seated breakfast, the creator/perfumer Bruno Jovanovic was there too!

A beautiful set up



To be honest, I wasn't too farmilliar with the perfume business. However after attending this great event and getting to sit in on an interview wtih Bruno Jovanovic, my view towards perfume changed - for the good. I now appreciate scent more and will look more into cologne and will probably wear them more often.

Being welcomed with smoothies!

Bruno being asked about Endless Euphoria

Bruno Jovanovic is a big deal in the fragrance world. He has created or collaborated on the following: CK IN2U Him for Calvin Klein, Island Hawaii for Michael Kors, IDOLE d'Armani for Giorgio Armani, Lady Million for Paco Rabanne, just to name a few. He also created Fierce for Abercombie and Fitch! I love that scent and had no idea that Bruno created it too! Fierce was actually my very first cologne purchase ever. And now, I got to meet the creator - how cool?! He was such a nice guy!

We were seated right across from the perfumer Bruno!

A little about Endless Euphoria. The fragrance is feminine, fruity and floral. It's refreshingly light and radiant. It opens with an intoxicating breeze of cherry blossoms, tipped with refreshing mandarin and bergamot. The heart blooms with beguiling floral notes of violet, pastel rose and syringa. At the base, bamboo, sandalwood, and bare musk exude a dream-like seduction. Sounds good, ladies? Go and give it a try - available now.
