Pink Diamonds: They are Unique in Every Way!

While the classic white diamond is widely used all over the world, there has been an increasing demand for pink diamonds. Pink diamonds are an excellent choice for a distinctive piece of jewelry. Pink diamonds are one of the world's most rare and valuable diamond, and are available in various shades ranging from delicate pastel rose to a full bodied red colour.

The Argyle mines in Australia are the world's primary producer of pink diamonds. One of the main factors in pricing pink diamonds is the intensity of colour. As pink is one of the rarest colours found in diamonds, even secondary colours like light pink champagne to dark pink champagne diamonds are highly valuable, depending on the depth and strength of the colour. One can choose the hues and intensity of pink diamonds depending on his/her budget. Like white diamonds, the cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of pink diamonds make one piece surpass another in beauty.

As pink diamonds are available in a wide range of shades, from light champagne pink to intense purplish pink, they are beautiful alone or combined with coloured gemstones. A combination of pink diamonds and gemstones will make a special and unique piece of jewellery. Coloured gemstones are desired for their beauty and durability. There are many beautiful coloured gemstones such as Opals, Sapphires, Ruby, Jade, Amber, Amethyst, Tsavorite, Blue Topaz and so on. The list of fascinating gemstones is next to endless.

So, if you're thinking of a precious gift for your loved ones, look no further than coloured gemstones in different cuts like oval cut, pear shape, round or princess cut.
Pink diamonds set alone making a stunning piece of jewellery, but the different hues of pink also inspire the combination of pink diamonds with white diamonds or other coloured gemstones. A combination of pink diamonds and gemstones will make a special and unique piece of jewellery. There are many beautiful coloured gemstones such as Opals, Sapphires, Ruby, Jade, Amber, Amethyst, Tsavorite, Blue Topaz and so on.

Be it simple or elaborate, pink diamonds and coloured gemstones will make your piece of jewellery exclusive, unique and cherished for ever.

Whenever you are in a situation where you are about to buy stones or crystals, it is important to physically touch different ones before buying them. It helps to close your eyes and really "feel" the stone - concentrate on how the stone resonates with you, and select the ones that are special.

Herbs

Herbs also bring unique Magick energies to the table when doing spell work. Not only do we Witches use them for spells, but herbs are also becoming more popular to treat health ailments throughout the world.

Before ever ingesting herbs (for any reason), it is important to consult with a doctor or herbologist who can make sure that nothing you drink or eat will be harmful.

How to Choose the Best Motorcycle Sunglasses

Choosing the best motorcycle sunglass can be very simple at first instant but when you are already out to do it, it may seem a little taxing and confusing. A lot of motorcycle sunglasses come in varying colors and styles you may be confused what to choose.

To help you decide what to buy here are some hints that you must consider:

Check for optically right lens. Lens comes in a wide-variety of tints or colors. It includes yellow, orange, copper, amber, rose, brown, gray, green, vermillion and other interesting colors with varying functions. Choose the right color and function for you.

Know the frames that suit you. Grab a pair that defines your looks while wearing them. It must also feel comfortable otherwise wearing it may feel a little awkward. If you wear a full face helmet, you have to get the right frame. On the other hand, when you are with an open face helmet, choose a design that will hold and protect your frames.

]]>

Remember that darker coating tints absorb more light. Polarized sunglasses filter horizontal glare reflection. If you travel beside water, this can be a great choice because it absorbs 98% of glare. Another type of coating is the photochromic which darkens and lightens depending on the change of light. Mirror or flash coatings greatly decreases the amount of reflection that may reach your eyes. It is usually applied on dark lens however, it is also used on base colors. This type of coating absorbs 10-60% of reflection more than uncoated lenses. Gradient coating, on the other hand, is permanently shaded from top to bottom. This is oftentimes found in flying and driving lenses. The reason behind this is to for the dashboard and instrument panels to be seen clearly. Scratch-resistant coatings are made by putting a clear and hard coating in front and at the back of the lenses. Another kind of coating is the anti-reflective. Mental oxides are applied on the lens surface to block reflected light in order to reduce glare.

Select hinge pieces that fit together well. There must be no gaps. Hinge pieces use two materials- metal and nylon. They are used for added strength and to secure a snug fit.

Use a UVA-wise sunglasses. We wear motorcycle sunglasses to protect out eyes. This protection extends to ultra violet radiation. When purchasing, choose sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Now, nothing can keep you from wearing your trendy motorcycle sunglasses to keep your eyes protected and glare-free!

Issey Miyake Perfumes - Perfection In A Bottle

by jasleen_kaur

Issey Miyake Perfumes - Perfection In A Bottle

Famed designer Issey Miyake of Japanese origin launched his first designer perfume in 1992 and has since created an acclaimed line of fragrances considered to be among the best in the world. He expanded to include a fragrance for men two years after his debut, and he built upon this foundation gradually for a full line of perfumes and colognes today.

His first fragrance, L'eau d'Issey (which translates as "Issey's Water") was named as a kind of in-joke between Issey and Chantal Roos, who managed the perfume's creation. This was because Issey was convinced that the only smell he would like would be that of water. Ironically, the fragrance collection became a key influencer of the Nineties trend for light acqueous floral perfumes.

Issey Miyake perfumes range from light and airy to deep and heady in aroma. Le Feu d'Issey Light, for example, is the epitome of perfection for a clear spring or summer day, with a very light scent that will be picked up by the breeze and subtly distributed. This blend of silky amber, rose, bergamot, gardenia, and gaiac wood creates a uniquely intense but quiet aroma.

]]>
Two scents in the Issey Miyake perfume line are reminiscent of the smell of the sea, bringing with them the sense of a clear, ocean breeze on a warm day at the beach. L'Eau d'Issey is full of marine notes and, had proven a consumer favorite. Its partner, L'Eau d'Issey Summer, is a similar fragrance with a lighter, warmer tone that speaks to the heat blowing in over the ocean on a summer day, as opposed to the original, which is more atuned to late spring or early fall. Both fragrances are clearly casual wear and perfect for daytime use.

Issey Miyake perfumes also offer more sensual overtones with Reflections in a Drop. While still offering the heady scent of aquatic breezes and sea foam blends, this particular fragrance is also laced with hints of lotus, mimosa, and a warm musk to add depth and sexuality to the bright water base.

A Scent is yet another of the genius Issay Miyake perfumes on the market that has met with success. A perfect fragrance for the minimalist, it led the way for other designers to create less heady scents with its notes of jasmine and hyacinth being the loudest fragrances, and hints of cedar, French verbena, and lemon wafting just beneath the surface.

For more Issey Miyake perfume reviews to help you choose your perfect Issey Miyake fragrances, take a look at the Fragrances for Women website.

Nicki Minaj Massive Attack Official Video (Working Link)

by Ben Sutherland

Nicki Minaj Massive Attack Official Video (Working Link)

Nicki Minaj shoots her first official solo video Monday in California. This one's shot in the desert, which just adds to Minaj's heat! This video was just released so go check it out!

>>>CLICK HERE TO WATCH NICKI MINAJ'S MASSIVE ATTACK<<<

This one takes place in a desert, shot with her ladies. This video is called "Massive Attack" and Nicki can't wait for the video to get out so the word can spread about her. Massive Attack features lyrics written by Sean Garrett.

]]>

Minaj adores his style and was excited to have him work on this project. The way she describes this project forces me to think of Lady Gaga: Minaj wanted to do something theatrical but something serious.

She wants to wow us with her videos, and do something a bit differently. The typical new release is just too boring for her. Already I'm getting the feeling that she's going to stand out in the crowd.

This video has an in your face style with the expected fast cut scenes of this genre. Big, bold lyrics are there to complement the video.

Also featured in the video is Amber Rose.

Minaj hit the scene in 2004 when she began singing for rappers. She originally comes from Jamaica, Queens, New York. Before she did anything solo, she was featured in fourteen albums with artists such as Lil-Wayne and Mariah Carey.

When asked what her biggest influences were, Nicki says Lauren Hill is one of the biggest. It isn't immediately obvious to me with Nicki's style as it seems a lot less poetic, but watch and decide for yourself.

Nicki Minaj-First Video

by thomasebunton

Nicki Minaj-First Video

Nicki Minaj has captivated the world with her astounding music video of her newest single, Massive Attack. It has created a wide buzz in the world of rap and the whole music industry. But what really made Massive Attack a real attack?

Let us start with the music video itself. The clip was directed by Hype Williams, showing Minaj in her best fashion style on the desert. This has become just the video that will leave the audience practically gawking at their TV screens. Minaj, with her really sexy outfit that gives the audience a generous view of her backside was with Amber Rose and some other girls in an astounding pink outfit that surely don't seem like it belongs in the desert. If Minaj was already hot herself, it was made hotter by a pink Lamborghini being tailed by a helicopter. From the desert, the scene suddenly shifted to a jungle and this time there are two men showing their talent in flexing. And Minaj? Well, what do you expect? She ignited the jungle with her green hair and fabulous sexy outfit. She is indeed one hot rapper that is making her the envy of many aspiring female rappers today.

Massive Attack is a song with a full- on assault of quelling synths and marching bass, with Minaj spitting harder and much swifter than before. Many say that it's a real stomper, a monster that all hip hop and pop fans would surely adore. It was something that can change your views about a desert and jungle because that's how Minaj works. She can practically make something simple into one stunning thing.

This song is actually the very first official single of Minaj's debut album. After years of being in the rap industry, Minaj is finally going to be heard on her own song with her as the featured artist. Massive Attack is now lined up for an official label release. Over the years, she was just a featured artist, though it wasn't that bad considering that the stars she worked with were really big names in the industry. She has been part of Mariah Carey's music video of Up Out My Face which also became a real YouTube hit.

With guns, troops, a desert and a jungle all in one video, Massive Attack has surely attacked the world. It has definitely changed the face of a typical rap music video. If before we see these rappers in their baggy shirts and pants, the leading lady of rap, none other than Nicki Minaj, has turned everything into a next level. Minaj has shown that a rapper can also be sexy and at the same time tough. Everything was full force and it has shown the tough girl side of Minaj, causing many male audiences to salute this girl. However, many people still hope that they will also see and hear the softer Minaj. Let us wait for this to happen and surely, we will just be more surprised with this one-of-a-kind female.

LETTER FROM A FAN: KANYE WEST

by thomasebunton

LETTER FROM A FAN: KANYE WEST

A few weeks ago I was getting ready to start my road trip to Chicago. I started flipping through my CD's for something new to listen to since Blueprint 3 needed a break. I came across Kanye West's Late Registration (the real CD not a burnt copy) and had to bump it. After rapping along for over an hour and fast forwarding over the few dry spots I thought to myself "that album was the shit". A great album from front to back. That can be said for most of Kanye's albums. (I do not have any idea about 808 and Heartbreaks since my ears, mind and musical soul boycotted the album). However my two hour road trip with the Late Registration Kanye West made something painfully obvious............

We, ladies and gentlemen are watching the fall of Mr. West; in part to EGO and musical lane shifting.

He hinted that his ego was out of control years ago but we didn't listen. We said that's just Kanye being Kanye and let him get away with all kinds of silly shit. First he told us Bush didn't like black people, maybe...... But then he went crazy on every award show and acted like a child when he didn't win. We all know about the Taylor Swift incident but his latest blunder is mind bending. Kanye now thinks that if they rewrote a modern day Bible he should be in it. WOW!! We are the only ones to blame for this since we didn't shut him down sooner.

]]>

I'm all for artistic growth and keeping it moving but stay within your lane. I want my rappers to rap and my R &B singers to sing, simple. Don't go switching lanes at high speeds nothing good will come of it. 808 and Heartbreaks sold and he got some awards, which only made the ego worst. But history has proven time and time again. that every rapper that starts going soft and singing will fail. Bone Thugs Crossroads was a big hit and downhill from there. Ja Rule had one two many duets and look at him now. Even 50 who came in the game making funny of Ja's singing started singing and guess what, downhill. No tight pants, no mullet jheri curl looking thingy or sunglasses with lines in them just good music please.  It's not too late for him to calm it down, get back to rapping and dating chicks like Amber Rose. He does that and everything will be all good.

But that's just my thought.

The popularity of white sunglasses

by motionblur

The popularity of white sunglasses

In hot days, especially summer, people have to prepare a lot of attires such as hats sun block and so on to prevent hurting from the UV radiation. And of course, sunglasses are one of the necessaries. Besides, sunglasses can make people fashionable. More and more people fall in love with sunglasses. And the makers have seen great market. They try all they can to make great sunglass in various shapes, colors and styles. n retrospect to the history of sunglasses, there have been some classic designs using different elements. white sunglasses are a historic style and now are sold by lots retailers as a form of retro sunglasses. Most of us have heard of sunglasses in other colors, like purple, black, orange and so on. Ignoring the differences, they provide customers with basic function: anti-UV radiation. But we should know different colors have different functions. In most cases, the colors refer to sunglass lenses. They are exactly called sunglass lens tints. Until now, possible lens tints include green, yellow, orange, amber, rose, brown, and gray. These tints applied to sunglass lenses can offer additional advantages in specific lighting conditions. However, some other colors can not be applied to sunglasses lenses. This can be exemplified by white sunglasses. This prevailing style does not refer to sunglasses that have white lenses, but white frames. This color is not transparent and lenses in this color will not allow light to pass through. Making this point clear is really important. Sunglasses with a white frame can create a unique look for lots of people. It is completely feasible to paint the whole frame white and an alternate is to add another color, creating a two-tone effect. White sunglasses have been in the top fashion group for many years. And many celebrities prefer to wear white sunglasses. As early as in 1967, Audrey Hepburn used a pair of white sunshades in a huge size, which seem completely like the warp-round sunglasses of recent years. The movie titled "Two for the Road" has witnessed her image with white sunglasses. Another example is that Princess Diana was photographed with white sunshades in 1989. During the past decades, white sunglasses have remained as one of the most popular design. Because of the influence of the celebrities, many people follow their steps to wear sunglasses. And nowadays, when walking in street home and abroad, you can see lots of people wearing white glasses. And it will be a lasting trend.

Is Wiz Khalifa a Blue Collar Worker Hiding under a Rapper's Hoodie?

by www.chicagofabulousblog.com

Is Wiz Khalifa a Blue Collar Worker Hiding under a Rapper's Hoodie?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are known as the blue collar team of the NFL.  They strap on their helmets and go to work.  It is beginning to appear Wiz Khalifa is not only a Pittsburgh Steeler fan, but a true Pittsburgh blue collar worker to match the toughest players on the field or workers in the steel mills.

The image everyone expects from a marijuana smoking, Hip Hop Rebel is to be completely laid back and lazy.  While Wiz can give the appearance of being laid back, his work ethic puts him right at the top of the blue collar work force of Pittsburgh.

Imagine doing this on one of your pleasure trips.  Line up 45 one on one interview sessions and then complete them all in 2 hours.  Not what you would expect from the hottest current hip hop artist who claims to be almost constantly stoned on marijuana.

It is not only his work ethic in doing interviews, but the way he hits the road for tours, the recording studio, and every aspect of his career.  Wiz Khalifa does not play around with his career.  He takes his art seriously and delivers great music and performances to his fans consistently.

]]>

Where would you expect a stoned hip hop artist to hang out?  Wiz Khalifa raises cool to the next level by hanging out in one of Pittsburgh's traditional blue collar hangouts, the bowling alley.  All resemblance to being a real blue collar worker disappeared at the lanes as Amber Rose sauntered in and made it very clear this was her man.  Of course, what blue collar worker doesn't have that dream, so maybe Wiz Khalifa has moved from being a blue collar worker to a blue collar hero.

Wiz's newest work is about to hit.  Rolling Papers hits the stores, airways, and MP3 World on March 29th.  We can expect more of Khalifa's unique sound to top the charts again.  Current rumors claim Snoop Dogg, Curren$ y, Too $ hort, and Rick Ross are featured on the album.

This definitely increases the influence of Wiz Khalifa's marijuana smoking claims with Snoop Dogg and the recently arrested for marijuana possession Rick Ross.

Whether you think Wiz Khalifa's style, music, and marijuana obsession creates a hero or a criminal is only one small aspect of the man.  You must respect his commitment to work.  You should respect his strong desire to put it all on the line and push to be the best of the current hip hop generation.

Get ready to watch Wiz Khalifa go into his full workaholic blue collar attitude over the upcoming weeks as he promotes his new release.  His new hip hop songs are sure to have him scrambling to fill all of the interview and photo shoot requests.  This is one artist who is sure to deliver.   He knows being from Pittsburgh means putting your head down and getting the job done.

2010 Hot Fashion Trends - Hooded Dresses

Who's in hooded dress? It's Lindsay Lohan! See what all the stars wore the golden globes. The 23-year-old actress showed up to the InStyle and Warner Bros Golden Globes after-party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in a Brian Lichtenberg sparkly mini-dress. She paired the silver frock with Fendi heels and Jason of Beverly Hills jewels. At the fete, Lohan held court at the bar before taking her drink to a table of friends.
Kanye West and girlfriend Amber Rose arrived at the Chanel Spring-Summer 2010 fashion show Tuesday morning in typically striking outfits. The pair has been attending many shows at Paris fashion week. West looked dapper in a velvet blazer, but more striking was Rose's hooded, curve-hugging dress. Just last week Lindsay Lohan showed up at a Golden Globes party in hooded dress.
This cute blonde Japanese girl was photographed on Cat Street in Harajuku. Her outfit is quite simple by Harajuku standards – where the girls often wear 10, 20, or 100+ layers of clothing – but it works. She's wearing a hooded gray dress that says "Smile A Lot" on the front, black leather boots, and a black backpack. She's also got some Audio-Technica headphones around her neck, a scrunchy on one wrist, and a big colorful moon-and-stars earring in her right ear.
I'm loving these hooded dresses which kind of like smocked dress and they are super hot for 2010. It can be casual, it can be dressy and could be added to any wardrobe. I've seen these hood dresses on the red carpet, I've seen it on the runway and it's a trend that anyone can really look good in. I love how some of the hooded dresses look more urban and sassy while others are more like a wrapped scarf, and some hooded dresses on the red carpet are like huge popped collars. I found a replica of the black and red stripped hood dress that Rihanna is wearing. A Style With Anna reader actually sent me an email looking for this dress, so I'm happy to share with you guys. Lindsey Lohan recently wore a super cute sparkly hooded dress that I will hopefully find a replica of soon. Either way, I think they're fun and I found some of my most favorite hooded dresses for every occasion. Online marketplace from China manufacturer like Topons is an expert in Hood dress with unique design and style.

When designing a dress out of chocolate, there are assertive things to accumulate in mind, says Joelle Mahoney, who created a annoyed dark- and white-chocolate mini-dress beat by a MLB Hats archetypal arrogant down the aerodrome at a abatement barter appearance in New York.

Still, designers face difficulties in befitting these looks fresh, as do models who abrasion these tasteful outfits.

To actualize the annoyed mini-dress, she attenuated one allotment blah abstract to three locations amber to accomplish a bendable actuality she says tastes like a Tootsie Roll.

Artichokes are annoying in added means than one, appearance artisan Wesley Nault abstruse if accumulating an artichoke dress for the Hunger Pains photo shoot. He knew the moment artichokes are cut, they alpha to blacken. Using an old kitchen trick, he abolished the leaves of about 30 artichokes in auto abstract afore the six-hour action of gluing them to an undergarment.

Halfway through, the aggregation ran out of artichokes, so an abettor ran to Whole Foods to get more. As sections of the dress began to oxidize, the aggregation raced to pin and basic on leaves so a account could be taken.

The dress helped accession his contour in the appearance business, Mr. Nault says, but "I didn't wish to see artichokes for absolutely some time."

Los Angeles apparel artisan Mia Gyzander apparent altered hurdles while creating a purple-and-green banknote clothes for Ms. Leachman, who wore it in an ad for Humans for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

"I anticipation the abysmal bittersweet was absolutely appealing with her derma tone," Ms. Gyzander says.

A artisan in Egypt created a dress that looked like the apparel of age-old rulers.

Some designers say they've had to carelessness hopes of attention their oeuvres afterwards the aliment began to go bad.

Ms. Mahoney approved to bottle her aboriginal amber outfit, a charlatan costume, with lemon-flavored lacquer—an comestible aerosol acclimated by bakers. Still, the amber eventually burst and she had to bung it.

Soletron Exclusive: Nooka.....One of the Hottest Sneakerhead Companies Out There!!

Let me just start out saying that .  If you don't know about Nooka, you have been living on another galaxy.  Not only are all of their products ridiculously comfortable to wear, but they will always get you compliments.  Their products are lightyears ahead of the curve and the competition.

My favorites are the watches.  Their unique way of telling time, is always a great conversation starter. Each bar or circle represents an hour, and it is a very futuristic watch.  Besides the unique way of telling time, their colors are always bright.  .  You can catch , , , ,  and rocking them.

We were thrilled to interview the CEO & Creative Director of Nooka, the man himself: Matthew Waldman.  Let's check out the interview below, and stay tuned for Nooka to be on Soletron your sneakerhead destination!

Watches, sunglasses, belts, wallets, fragrances

Matthew Waldman

CEO and Creative Director

"Nooka is a story of my quest for universal language. I truly believe that as a planet, we all need to speak the same language – but this discussion often gets lost in emotionally-charged arguments about culture. telling the story via the visual and form language of design is a subversive way to have this discussion and transcend arbitrary geographic boundaries."

"The original concept for Nooka was conceived in 1998 while staring at a large clock in the London Hotel while waiting for a client. Wondering why there were so few intuitive options for time display, I sketched some ideas on a napkin and brought them back to New York."

"Most prominently known for our unique timepieces, we have expanded our range to create a Mindstyle™brand with the addition of a series of sunglasses, wallets and a fragrance."

"The name Nooka was developed with a desire to transcend linguistic and geographic borders as well as evoke futurism by incorporating the sound 'nu' from 'nuclear' and 'new.' Stemming from our New York roots, 'Nooka' can also be heard as a contraction of 'New Yorker.'

"Currently, we do most of our business in the US, Japan, Singapore and Italy."

"Nooka is currently in almost 600 stores and we are always increasing our number of retailers."

"There are no tricks, simple perseverance is a very important thing. a willingness to learn new things is also important. moreover, people and the market will respond to seeing what you are doing as opposed to listening to you talk about what you want to do. so focus on perfecting what you can produce within you're own means and do it well."

"Locally when we can, and internationally for most things."

"I am a huge sneaker-head myself and really am always impressed with how the sneaker companies keep pushing the boundaries of material science. this technoprogressivist approach is lacking in so many other fields of design, and it an ethos I apply with Nooka as well. also, the materials we use are very similar, so the colors and "feel" match quite well."

"I keep going back to the late 90s/early 00s when Nike [and other brands] had a design lab and produced designs that were bridges between fashion and kicks. right now, only puma seems to be catering to this segment with puma black, but like Y-3, it's too expensive for most consumers. as for the "movement", i'd like to see more sneakerheads getting into the design and not blindly follow every limited edition release from a celeb brand."

"Across all the lines, usually between 12-20 new SKUs."

"I love the Zayu because it really pushes the concept the fullest. also, the redesign of the asset organizer is very exciting because it brings a new material and user experience to something often overlooked – the wallet. not new, but the strip still excites me, i have a design patent for the closure and once people try it, they never go back to an old belt."

"Kanye West, Lil' Wayne, Amber Rose, Jason Derulo, Cody Simpson and Justin Bieber have all been spotted rocking Nooka."

"We are in so many great shops, but i guess Barney's COOP for the US and Colette in Paris."

"We are going to apply the Nooka aesthetic to an analog watch. I would love a tech company to let me design a new experience for mobile communication…also, I am working on an anti-gravity drive."

Roses Make A Wonderful Hedge

by thomasebunton

Roses Make A Wonderful Hedge

Roses can make a wonderful hedge either mixed in with a normal hedge or as an attractive flowering boundary. An upwind rose hedge that has strong, fragrant flowers can perfume a garden, filling the air with their heavy scent, and bar intruders with their wicked thorns. R. eglanteria is such a plant with small, single, pink blooms, blush centres, and a plethora of bright red hips that last well into winter. It will take some shade and can be trained to climb.

Rugosa roses are among the toughest of all garden roses. They originated from the orient centuries ago but it was not until the 1970's that breeders began to create many new exciting varieties by crossing them with garden roses. Rugosa roses are dense and robust in form, very thorny, and the leaves are roughly textured and deep veined. The flowers are usually large, opening wide; they may be single to fully double appear fragile - somewhat like crinkled silk.

Most of them repeat flower well later in the summer. Plump rose hips appear following the flowering period and foliage turns an attractive bronze in late season. Rugosas make wonderful hedges but also look good as specimen plants in mixed shrub borders. They are able to grow under very poor conditions with the ability to withstand sea spray, which makes them popular in northern climates and coastal areas. Rosa 'Hansa' belongs to this group; it makes up an impressive hedge. Large early summer flush of intensely clove-scented crimson flowers, repeats occasionally in summer with a smaller flush in autumn.

The flowers are produced in such fabulous profusion that the plant can have a tendency to sprawl under the weight of its own massive thorny canes. Another with beautiful flowers is 'Agnes' with fully double, rich yellow and amber blooms of the old-fashioned type; this one will reach a height of 8-ft (2.4m). Rugosas are very disease resistant and do NOT therefore require nor appreciate being sprayed with chemicals, which terns the leaves yellow. An impenetrable barrier can also be created with- Cerise Bouquet, R. sericea pteracantha, R. pimpinellifolia and hybrids, R. paulii, R. Macrantha and many of the species roses.

Climbers and Ramblers for growing into Trees, over Bushes and Hedges and smothering unsightly features: Almost any rambler is excellent but the best are: Albe`ric barbier, Bobby James, Ce`cile Brunner Clg, Dr W.Van Fleet, Fe`licite` et Perpe`tue, Francis E. Lester, Kew Rambler, Long John Silver, May Queen, R. filipes, 'Kiftsgate', Paul's Himalayan Musk, R. mulliganii, R. banksiae lutea, R. banksiae lutea, R. banksiae banksiae, R. wichuraiana ramblers and Wedding Day.

Paul Smith Rose, Lollia Always ~ new fragrances

Paul Smith has introduced a new fragrance for women, Paul Smith Rose. The scent is based on the odor of the Sir Paul Smith rose as captured by ScentTrek, a variation on headspace technology.

The rose at the heart of this fragrance is one that bears his name. "My wife, Pauline, created a wonderful birthday gift – a rose cultivated specially for me. This proved to be an inspiration for the fragrance," says Paul.

Antoine Maisondieu, the perfumer who worked with Paul on its creation explains: "I wanted to combine an airy quality with a soft, velvety feeling on the skin. I blended Paul Smith ScentTrek with Turkish rose oil and green tea, adding a sparking halo of violet and magnolia flowers. A woody accord, with touches of clear cedar, provides depth and structure, which along with soft musks, give it an addictive quality."

Paul Smith Rose is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum and in matching body products. (via paulsmith.co.uk, found via selfridges) According to thelondonpaper, it smells "fresh, light and fruitily rosy".

Paul Smith presents Rose Summer Edition as a summer edition in which the dominant flower is rose, typical of Paul Smith editions. Fragrant pleasure ofRoseedition is reinterpreted through summer edition decorated with sunny aspects and good mood, ideal for use in summer season.

Rose Summer Edition was developed by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu of such notes as violet and currant buds in top notes combined with green tea and sweet aquatic watermelon notes.

A heart blooms with characteristic Paul Smith rose combined with green tea, Damascus rose and iris adding discretely seductive light accents. A base is warm and woody, created of amber, light musk and sandalwood.

Paul Smith Rose Summer Edition was designed with an intention to be cheerful, dashing and spontaneous. The new flacon is in tune with the theme, created of yellow and white nuances resembling sun rays, which reflect spirit of the composition. Its outer carton is also yellow, with picture of rose with pale yellow petals on the box. The perfect contrast to yellow is strong pink cyclamen nuance of name of the fragrance, giving a strong and clear summer effect.
