Tommy Hilfiger will introduce his new exclusive-to-Macy's fashions and his latest fragrance, Hilfiger by Tommy Hilfiger, in a series of events at Macy's Herald Square in New York City tonight:
6:30 PM – GQ Magazine/Hilfiger Celebrity Charity Motorcycle ride, from Lincoln Center to Macy's Herald Square…
The new boutique called Georgia is located on a slightly gritty block of Houston Street, where the graffitied and security-gated facades of other local businesses stand as reminders of the neighborhood’s industrial past. Georgia’s interior has preserved some authentically distressed surfaces, but the goods for sale are far from grungy. In the front area of the shop, long shelves display scented bath and body products and a few fragrances, accompanied by an impressive variety of sisal cloths, sea sponges, and other bath-time indulgences. Baskets and smaller shelves hold good-smelling necessities like Smith’s Rosebud Salve and Herban Essentials essential oil towelettes.
The rear section of the boutique is dedicated to an in-store salon and a wall of haircare products…
Christina Aguilera will be at at Macy's Herald Square in New York City on Tuesday, September 2nd from 5 - 6:30 pm to introduce her new fragrance, Inspire:
Inspire is a beautiful white floral enhanced with colourful fruit notes chosen by Christina. A little known fact is that the freesia, one of the key notes within Inspire, is a small and delicate flower, yet has a very powerful presence, much like Christina.

Like perfume itself, the design of Le Labo’s Manhattan boutique entertains subtle juxtapositions of smooth and rough, natural and synthetic. White tiled walls are balanced by wooden flooring, antique-looking pressed-tin walls contrast with stainless steel fixtures, and high metal stools stand at a distance from a well-used leather armchair.
Behind the laboratory counter that runs the length of the boutique’s interior, neatly labeled bottles of perfumery ingredients are displayed on industrial shelving. Along the walls, large glass jars hold quantities of raw botanical materials…
Red Flower recently entered the field of perfumery with natural fragrances called Champa, Ambrette, and Guaiac, three certified organic blends of oils distilled and extracted from natural ingredients. This small Manhattan-based company was originally best known for its lushly scented candles, which were created to evoke specific flowers, fruits, and trees in their natural settings (no vanilla-sugar desserts or Christmas potpourri here!) and are uncannily true to their models. The candles are now accompanied by shower gels, lotions, haircare, and playful ball-shaped soaps in the same scents. Red Flower also offers two lines of therapeutic body treatments inspired by the legendary bath rituals of Turkey and Japan (with a third series to be introduced in 2009)…
