Sarah Jessica Parker Covet ~ fragrance review

Sarah Jessica Parker Covet perfume

Covet is Sarah Jessica Parker’s latest fragrance release, following 2005’s Lovely.

Perfume of the day: Curated by Colette Three AsFour

Posted by Robin on 6 January 2006 22 Comments

Last year, the swanky Parisian boutique Colette arranged for a trio of limited edition unisex fragrances pairing perfumers from Symrise with fashion designers; the result was called “Curated by Colette”. For the fashion design house As Four, perfumer Frank Voelkl created Three AsFour, a fragrance that has turned out to be one of my favorite finds from 2005. The notes are lime, bergamot, ginger, iris, sandalwood, cedar, musk and vetiver.

AsFour highlights a trio of fragrant roots…
