Guess Seductive
The sexy GUESS Seductive bottle offers a flirty twist on the iconic brand’s image. The timeless bottle and cap echo the shape of the world-renowned GUESS logo. The bottle is enhanced with a crocodile logo panel along with an artistic gold dangling charm in the shape of two eye-catching hearts. The black, ecru and gold carton is inspired by a vintage trunk, and reflects the balance of modern femininity and retro glamour associated with the luxurious fragrance and the house of GUESS.
Playful yet classic and true to the GUESS brand, Seductive is meant to be a tempting, irresistible scent. The heart of the fragrance is made up of floral scents as a “fatal floral attraction” while the top notes release fruity scents.
.
Top Notes: Bergamot, Blackcurrent, Crispy Pear
Middle Notes: Orange Flower, Jasmine, Orris
Base Notes: Vanilla, Olibanum, Cashmere Wood
“Be seduced with the audacious new scent” – Guess Seductive retails for $69 (50ml) and $85 (75ml) at selected drug and department stores across Canada.
EVENT RECAP: Timeraiser 2010
Where can you find an event that combines learning about volunteer opportunities, a silent auction for local artwork, appetizers & drinks, all in a classy but relaxed environment? Timeraiser. In a nutshell, this annual art auction event encourages volunteerism towards non-profit activities by offering an opportunity to purchase artwork by pledging volunteer hours instead of money. With 12 months to complete your pledged volunteer hours, when you finally take home your piece of art, it becomes a reminder of your goodwill and experience with Timeraiser.
