Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam

Eau de Parfum Spray 1 fl.oz./30mL

$42.00

Way back in the 1980's my favorite fragrance was Giorgio Beverly Hills. Actually, it was everyone's favorite. That fragrance was the 1980's. It was one of the defining moments of my youth. Funny that a fragrance can become a signature moment in your life like that. But in 1981 they burst onto the scene with their bold, timeless fragrance with a one-of-a-kind Beverly Hills experience. Described by some as the "scent of the century", it was worn by the famous and the fashionable. 

That same company is back with a new fragrance, called Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam. Let me tell you, this fragrance is a beautifully updated version of Giorgio Beverly Hills but for the modern woman.  It is reminiscent of the original but changed enough so that it is a new fragrance and has so many beautiful notes to it that it would be a sin to say they were the same. Now, in celebration of its 35th anniversary, the iconic brand unveils the new Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam and announces Emmy award winner Julianne Hough (a triple threat in film, television and music) as the face of the Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam fragrance.

Welcome to the magnetic, extravagant world of Beverly Hills. That is the world's premiere spot for towering palm trees, warm West Coast winds and endless California luxury.This scent is tailor made for the woman who lives her life in confidence. The unforgettable fragrance makes her feel glamorous from morning to night and leaves a lasting impression. Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam combines the white florals of the original Giorgio Beverly Hills scent and mixes in today's modern style and glamour. It's indulgent, captivating and elegant, creating a Beverly Hills moment with every spritz. Inviting, daring and feminine, Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam will transport any woman to the luxurious Californian lifestyle. Perfectly manicured lawns, a top-down convertible en route to a champagne brunch, the freedom of spending a day shopping on Rodeo Drive. This is the glam life.

The fragrance itself is an undeniably bold combination of white florals infused with sensuous amber and sandalwood. With bright, sparkling notes, the scent embodies the instantly recognizable glitz and glamour of California's most famous fashion street. Extravagant and empowering, Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam is a long-lasting scent that will linger on the skin. A fragrance that is sure to turn heads. This floral woody bouquet will have women radiating confidence, elegance and true style.

The fragrance opens with top notes of Solar Magnolia, Wild Cyclamen and Spring Peony. In the heart, lush Summer Plum is infused with and irresistible bouquet of Iris and Jasmine Sambac for feminine luxury. At the base are White Heliotrope and Golden Labdanum flirting with warm Sandalwood and Amber notes to evoke a sensuous finish that will linger even after she's gone. 

The bottle is gorgeous. The purple and pink ombré design speaks to modern glamour while the gold accents give a not to the brand's luxurious lifestyle. Both vibrant and chic, the Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam Bottle is a perfect standout on the vanity of any woman who wants to create her own Rodeo Drive moment.

• Eau de Parfum Spray 1 fl.oz./30mL $42.00
• Fine Fragrance Mist Spray 8 oz./236mL $9.99

Personally, I ADORE the scent. It is so reminiscent of the original but with a twist that makes it its own beautiful, exotic scent. I love the way it dries down on the skin, the floral scent that is there but with a slightly fruity undertone. It is very unique and not one I've encountered on any other fragrance before. I think many women will like this scent a lot. Especially if you like the original Giorgio Beverly Hills back in the 1980's. It will bring back memories for you. To me the scent evokes memories of that original fragrance but with an entirely new way to wear the scent because it is an entirely new fragrance. It is evoking these memories but I can still wear this as a new fragrance. It's just that every once in a while a Giorgio Beverly Hills memory pops through. Not in a bad way of course. I could see myself wearing this all the time. 

Currently Giorgio Beverly Hills Glam is only for sale on www.hsn.com. It will be added to other markets later. This makes a great gift for any woman in your life, especially one who adores fragrances, floral fragrances or for that woman who might be hard to shop for. 

Until Next Time~
