07 Jul (Giveaway) The Hour is Everything: Caudalie Fleur de Vigne Fresh Fragrances
When I attended the launch of Caudalie’s Limited Edition Fresh Fragrances a few weeks ago at The Vinotherapie Spa at the Plaza Hotel, little did I know that the evening would be reminiscent of Proust’s major novel.
In the cool depths of the Plaza’s Spa, we were introduced to a selection of wines by the resident sommelier, a gesture fitting for the vinotherapy roots of the brand. The antioxidant powers of reservatrol have been harnessed by several brands, but Caudalie lives and breathes it. From its remarkably effectivePremier Cru The Eye Cream (80% more radiant skin and 160% increased in cell life span after 10 days of use) to the three Limited Edition Fragrances we were introduced to at the event, Caudalie is all about harnessing the fine properties of the great grape.
The three Limited Edition fragrances celebrate the unique time of day: the Fleur De Vigne Fragrance pays homage to the grape blossom which blooms every June. It’s an refreshing fragrance with notes of grapefruit, mandarin and cedar. The suggested time of day for use is the morning.
The Zeste de Vigne is an energizing unisex fragrance with notes of sweet lemon, petit grain and bergamot, and suggested for use at noon.
Finally the The Des Vignes evokes the stillness of dusk, and has notes of white musk, neroli and ginger. It is a mystical fragrance with 10% pure parfum, and the most concentrated of the three, perfect for use in the evening.
The elegant glass spray bottles retail for $38 and will be available in the summer.
Now, about the contest. Funny you asked! Tell us what your ideal time of day is, and how you normally spend it (e.g. if it’s afternoon, do you get lunch at the Italian trattoria or a biscotti; if it’s morning, do you get your freshly-brewed latte?). Be descriptive. The more creative, the more chance you have of winning.
Please submit your entry by July 20th. We will pick one winner and send it to Caudalie, when Mathilde will choose her favorite entry to receive the grand prize: a gift basket filled with $250 worth of Caudalie products. The fragrances are available for purchase at Sephora.com and Caudalie-USA.com.
Remember to leave a comment below to be considered. Good luck ladies!

Posted at 01:24h, 10 JulyMy favorite time of the day is after the sun goes down. Here in Florida, this is the cooling time of the day. The air cools off as well as my mind. I enjoy sitting outside and just thinking of all the hectic activities of the day and then letting them go, one by one. The stress of a parent in the throes of lung cancer, the chronic pain I live with and the end of my marriage all can be put on the back burner for another day. Hello darkness, my old friend, as the song goes.

Posted at 01:57h, 10 JulyMy favorite time of the day is in the morning, when I begin with a cup of freshly brewed Kona coffee. I drink it from my cup with my name printed on it in Hawaiian language. In Hawaii, Kathryne is Kakalina, which means blessed, pure, holy. I’m neither pure nor holy but am so much blessed. This little inspiration is my mantra to start my day right- to share whatever small blessings I have to people around me. “If you have been blessed today, be a blessing to others”

Posted at 02:06h, 10 JulyMy favorite time of day is the morning, when all is fresh and new, and the promise of the day’s journey awaits….. Those thoughts are there every morning to greet me and quickly fade as I play “race the clock”, and see if I can get transform into my the beautiful image I like to portrait prior to the second, yes second, that I have to leave the house in order to make the train for the hour plus ride to work. My last finishing touch to my crazed morning ritual is to spritz myself with perfume right before I fly downstairs, grab a mouthful of water (don’t want to drink too much in case the train has issues), put on my shoes, grab my keys, my bag, get into the car, and check if I won the race against the clock as the new day’s journey begins…..

Posted at 02:38h, 10 Julymy favorite time of the day is checking the mail. I always look forward to my next movie from netflix. I rent television shows so the dvd lasts longer and after I spent some time studying, watching an episode or a movie is my reward.
