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 21:42h, 09 JulyI love the evening time, especially in the summer, when the sun is slowly going down. It means the day is winding down and it gives me a sense of peace and tranquility.
I can pause to appreciate the day that I had, and put together a plan for another fabulous day tomorrow.

Posted at 21:42h, 09 JulyMy favorite time of the day is evening. Whether I go out to enjoy dinner, or just sit on my front porch having a drink, dusk gives you time to reflect on your day, and take a deep breath to prepare yourself for the next day. It’s such a relaxing time, and I can only imagine how these wonderful fragrances could enhance it!

Posted at 21:50h, 09 JulyEarly morning when it’s still cool out the birds are starting their day singing and there is a cool breeze sun shining, squirrels chattering away! Ideally Id love to spend it out on my back deck every morning just listening to the sounds and meditating before the day starts. But that doesnt happen often!

I live for summer Saturday mornings. I can wake up ealry and sit on the porch listening to the birds chirp and watching the sun rise . It’s a wonderful feeling!

Posted at 21:55h, 09 JulyRight now the perfect and favorite time of day to me is about 8:00pm
I reside in the beautiful state of Hawaii, and that is when I love to take my dogs for a walk, with the beautiful sunset setting ove the great blue, the air is cool, and wondeful tradewinds blow against your skin. I so get lost looking out to the sea, a time for my mind to let go and breath deeply.
It is so amazing and I am so blessed to have this site of beauty !
