Black Beauty Roster Hosts Beauty Expo Presented by SalonCentric in NYC

When I came across a collection called Heaven’s Alchemy Perfumes, I just HAD to show you them. They radiate the feeling of romance, passion and beauty of the world’s most captivating cities. Athens, Alexandria, Milan, New York and Paris are just a few of the scents offered.
When your clients are shopping around in the boutique of your salon for a perfect perfume, chances are if they see a bottle that looks different from the others, captivates their imagination and sparks their curiosity, they are going to pick it up and try it out. That's why the design, presentation and appearance of any perfume you choose to sell are important-it's going to be their first impression.

When I came across a collection called Heaven's Alchemy Perfumes, I just HAD to show you them. They radiate the feeling of romance, passion and beauty of the world's most captivating and cities. These rich and varied scents are undiluted, alcohol-free, chemical-free and color additive-free. Interestingly, they have been crafted in the traditional and ancient method from pure perfume oils.
My favorite aspect about all of these perfumes is that each embodies the character of a different city, utilizing ingredients native to each city, as well as other ingredients that capture the essence, in scent. Even the look of these glass bottles have been designed to capture the feel of each city they represent.
For example, the mysterious and hypnotic "Casablanca" scent has delicate hints of Moroccan spices, vanilla and musk surrounding an intoxicating blend of flowers including Moroccan rose, gardenia, jasmine and tuberose.
"Kyoto" is graceful and lovely. The container has a style dominated by clean and ordered lines with a carefully placed adornment, capturing the subtle and refined style for which the city is famous. It also incorporates top notes of Japanese apple, cherry blossom and melon, middle notes by Asian floral scents and base notes of amber, musk, sandalwood and Tonka bean.
Other scents include Alexandria, Athens, Dubai, Istanbul, Milan, New York, Paris, St. Petersburg, Zanzibar and more. A crystal set, which comes with a crystal perfume bottle, a tasseled travel perfume, a perfumer's funnel (to fill the empty crystal bottle) and a roll-on glass perfume bottle.
