Cynthia Rowley Fragrances Are In Full Bloom at Avon
Introducing two new designer fragrances Flower and Petal by Cynthia Rowley exclusively at Avon.
The renowned style maker has created two new fashionable floral scents exclusively for Avon, available from April 2008.
Flower by Cynthia Rowley is feminine and flirty, yet sophisticated. Every note was hand-picked by Cynthia herself, creating a bouquet of florals surrounded by warm woods and musks. The notes include: Casablanca Lily, Freesia, Cashmere Woods, Warm Vanilla, Skin Musk, Velvet Woods, and Sandalwood. Price: $30 for 50ml.
“I wanted to capture the essence of our collection and the women we dress in this fragrance,” says Cynthia. “I think we can associate the elements of design-texture, shape, color-with these scents that embody our sensibilities. I like that the fragrance is complex, with so many disparate notes, but has such a simple name-Flower.” -Cynthia Rowley.
Petal by Cynthia Rowley is the bud for the grownup Flower by Cynthia Rowley and captures the innocent, youthful blush of freshly bloomed Lily of the Valley. It is a natural extension of Flower, similar to the inextricable bond between mothers and daughters. Petal is lighter than Flower, with a more carefree sensibility, and was made to be worn by young girls as well as women who are young in heart. Price: $15 for 30ml.
“The scent of my mom’s fragrance, which she would wear on special occasions and spritz on me before going out, is one of my favorite memories from childhood. I wanted to make something that I could share with my daughters-only with their own fragrance notes.”-Cynthia Rowley.
