smell that sells
Designer Tom Ford's fragrance line has grown so large that Neiman Marcus dedicated an entire counter to accommodate the demand. Now the fashion designer delves into accompanying products to make his Black Orchid Voile de Fleur line complete. A shower gel and body moisturizer carry the same aromas as the fragrance, blending the essence of springtime florals with a sexy and sophisticated sensuality. Too bad Ford doesn't come with each purchase. Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur body moisturizer, $38, eau de toilette spray, $65 for 1.7 fluid ounces, and shower gel, $31, all available at Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show mall
two-step skin care
Meet Malin + Goetz, a modern apothecary in New York that has made skin care simple by filtering it down to a two-step regimen. Each of the products in the line uses natural ingredients that help address skin sensitivities, irritations and allergies. And hydration is key. The cleansing side of the line contains amino acids to purify and hydrate, while the moisturizer side uses nourishing fatty acids and fatty alcohol so they don't clog pores. And the gender-neutral packaging makes it a line that can be used by men and women. Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Face Cleanser, $30, Malin + Goetz Detox Face Mask, $38, and Malin + Goetz Replenishing Face Serum, $65, all available at Barneys New York at the Shoppes at the Palazzo
