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 01:41h, 16 JulyI am not a morning person, but ironically my favorite time of day is the morning. Slowly bearing my warm sleepy skin to the cool dark morning air, I place my waking feet on the knotted hardwood floor. In those first groggy steps I am in a fog somewhere suspended between dreamland and reality. I clumsily get into the shower. I love how invigorating the shower is as the air around you turns into a cloud. After showering, I greet my chipper, morning-person husband on my way to the kitchen. Streams of light dance across the kitchen floor as daylight trickles in through the windowpanes. Once there I’ll start the water for my cup of tea, and sit for a few moments talking with my husband. It is in those moments, in the beginning of every day, where I find my energy and my love.

Posted at 03:42h, 16 JulyActually, I love the whole 24 hour’s of the day!! In the morning I love to sit and have a cup of cappachino and watch the sun come up and listen to the birds sing, and the deer with their fawn’s come to eat at the salt block, and maybe catch sight of a black bear strolling through for some breakfast. I get a quick shower and ready myself for the day and the adventure’s that it bestow’s on me!! In the afternoon, I love taking an hour for myself and set and meditate about the thing’s that are occuring or are going to be happening in my life and the choice’s that I must make. Then it’s family time, with dinner and hearing everything that has happened to them during the course of the last 12 hours. Then it’s time for a quiet bubble bath getting done in time to sit on the deck in my robe, with a glass of wine and watching the sunset with my hubby!! I just love the fact that each day is an adventure and so different from day to day, and I wouldn’t miss a minute of it!!
