La Prairie Life Threads

I’m still obsessing over Tom Ford’s White Suede — so sexy. It has definitely replaced Allure from Chanel as my fave fragrance (if only it didn’t cost $180!). Another scent that has inched its way to my top list is La Prairie’s Life Threads Gold. Just launched this month, La Prairie’s new fragrance collection, Life Threads, includes Silver, Gold, and Platinum ($125 each). Each fragrance is meant to evoke a different stage in a woman’s life and La Prairie has launched an extensive amount of online content as well as gotten into the social networking game via Facebook and YouTube to promote their new fragrances.

The bottles as you can see from the picture above are very chic. I’m

loving the “thread” texture! As for the scents Silver is described as a

“floral woody scent, opens with top notes of green leaves and golden

bergamot; its heart is of tuberose, Indian jasmine, ylang-ylang,

pimento and orange blossom, and its drydown is of rare sandalwood,

cherished vetiver, solar musk and peppery moss.” While my fave,

Gold, is a “complex spicy Oriental, has top notes of tangerine, plum

and clove bud; a heart of pepper, cinnamon bark, coriander, Kyoto rose,

lily of the valley and ylang ylang, and a drydown of cedarwood,

patchouli, golden myrrh, vanilla and imperial incense.” Lastly,

Platinum, is described as “an edgy chypre floral, has top notes of

juicy plum, violet leaf and rare galbanum; a heart of crystal jasmine

petals, crushed Persian rose, sensual leather, Kerala cardamom and

elegant iris, and a drydown of Indonesian patchouli, vetiver, golden

amber, oakmoss and labdanum.”

Gold, to me, is the sexiest. It has a uni-sex quality to it, while Platinum is light and refreshing. Silver was the only one out of the three I wasn’t a fan of. It has a strong lingering smell that I didn’t like — must be the wood/floral combo. Learn more on La Prairie’s website!
