Who has identified in Bois 1920's Oro his favorite and irreplaceable fragrance will find in OroNero as a possible alternative. And if in this highly selected circle of enthusiasts nobody is willing to replace his chosen, surely those who do not dare to approach the oldes perfume of the Florentine house will find in this new creation OroNero a very stimulating olfactory composition. The motives are directly explain their creator, Enzo Galardi.

"Oro is an exclusive niche perfume, born 30 years ago, has been a successful creation since then, and has been able to keep a selected clientele that continues to look for it. I certainly deserve the selected raw materials, such as resins and precious woods, A complex mix that gives dependence.
The idea of ​​creating OroNero, which I consider like a bold and mysterious puff, was born precisely to increase the number of enthusiasts looking for something more accessible. Its composition is simpler than that of Oro, of course, but it still captures the attention for its originality.
What makes it unmistakable are saffron notes that blend with bergamot, orange and cloves. A mix that introduces the woody heart where patchouli, sandalwood, cedar and ylang-ylang blend harmoniously. All is laid on a leather, amber and vanilla base. "

Each template is customizable in the choice of color and in the type of leather. They comes with many details that make the difference: the label segnanome, the interior zip pocket and the water bottle pocket.

Enlivened by sinuous curls or kept smooth to natural as silk ribbons, the tufts gracefully decorating the face are all the rage.

Clean up the air from the smog in the big city is impossible. But effectively remove it from surface skin and protect it from damage caused by fine particles it's possible. Here then that among the cosmetic innovations I have identified the 5 my allies that will allow me to combat environmental pollution on my skin.

Cleaning should be deep
The moisturizing treatments are effective only if they are applied on clean skin. To effectively remove any dirt that is deposited on the surface of the face, I use two different treatments, one for the morning and the other in the evening

Just wake up I use Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse by Sarah Chapman, an oil-based cleanser almost impalpable. It contains a blend of refreshing and soothing essential oils of camphor, neroli, chamomile, jasmine and rose. This aromatic infusion penetrates deep into the pores of the skin by removing impurities perfectly without rubbing. To complete the cleaning step I use a soft cloth soaked in warm water: it's called Professional Cleansing Mitts, which instantly gives me a pleasant feeling refreshing.

For the evening, however, when I actually have more time to devote to skin care, I prefer to use technology, particularly the Clarisonic's sonic action, with its 300 micro-ultra gentle oscillations per second. Now I'm using the new format travel, Mia Fit, which fits comfortably in the palm of my hand. Thanks its very soft bristles, the deep cleansing is effective and does not cause irritation.

The morning care
The cosmetic that I used every morning for three weeks since I returned to Milan from vacation from the sea, is called The Moisturizing Lotion by la Mer. This is the new super-gel lotion that despite being very light offe all the advantages of the legendary la Crème. The strength of this product are the "Lotions Soft Capsules" that convey deep into the Miracle Broth (one of the most important discoveries in the field of cosmetics to combat skin dehydration) associated with the Lime Tea Concentrate (which protects the skin from the effects of ' pollution and environmental aggressions).
With this magic lotion actually my skin has become swollen and bright ... so I find it transformed and radiant.

By two weeks, I'm using a new cosmetic that has the consistency of a cloud: Deto2x by Valmont. The absorption of this product almost evanescent occurs only with the contact. The fresh and invigorated skin perceptions are immediate thanks to an oxygenating complex that goes directly to the mitochondria, a kind of lung of the skin cell, freeing it from pollutants which impede the proper functioning.
A few minutes away from the application, then, the skin undergoes a transformation: it becomes softer, smoother and more radiant. The credit goes to the extract of the Swiss apple stem cells present in the formula, which is able to activate the reproduction of skin cells.
But there's more: this product is "alive" because it looks like a fine foam, similar to a cream, that reforms on the product surface every day.

Every evening, I'm using a portentous treatment: Anti-Aging Cream by 3LAB: has a rich texture that is absorbed immediately and regenerates the skin deep down. In the morning, the complexion is smooth, hydrated and elastic. The secret is in the formula that also encloses sea water, rich in sodium and potassium hydrating and calcium which improves the compactness of stratum corneum cells. The skin then is smooth and bright thanks to the presence of vitamin C.

The summer this year seems endless. And the ideal perfumes of this moment are Le Male, Popeye and Classique, Betty Boop, two very delicious limited editions signed by Jean Paul Gaultier, which is celebrating its first 40 years. Two Eau Fraiche particularly fresh and appetizing that offer a lingering scent that evoke the holidays. For Le Male, Popeye the protagonists notes are sage and sandalwood, while Classique, Betty Boop makes its mark with ginger, orange blossom and vanilla

Necklaces with thin chain and pendant are the most sophisticated and chic way to decorate the neckline. Abandoned the geometric and essential shapes, the new chains made in Italy are small but have the ability to tell a story. With its Life Limited Edition, for Iconoclass the graceful protagonists are the butterflies that flutter free in the gazebo, while Merù with its cameos in gold studded with precious stones evokings the carefree minds with the faces of young women with the wind in your hair; finally Mumati Gioielli creates a cascade of natural stones in movement that represents the medusa's tentacles.

Mudec, Milan - until 11 September 2016

Magic bizarre childhood.. these are the adjectives that come to mind when thinking about the works of the Catalan artist's youth and early maturity. The shapes painted or sculpted by Mirò evoke formal primitivism that are found in a number of figurative artists of the '900, but which then translate into something that is stylistically recognizable.
The Milan exhibition highlights the work of sculpture, through which he, picking up all sorts of objects and shape, showing us how it is possible to recreate the forms of nature in surrealistic key. And the operation is extraordinarily interesting when he uses a monochrome, both when it is having fun with the brightness of the brightest colors.

Who finds out the gesture of perfuming the hair does not give it up more. Because the vaporized fragrance recurs every time he steps his fingers through his hair, or the wind lifts them and moves them as in a sinuous dance that spreads in an extremely pleasant and seductive aroma. The most interesting bouquet of the season is by Casamorati, a company founded in 1888 in Bologna and that Xerjoff has produced as a tribute to Italian craftsmanship. Parfumed Hair Mist Bouquet Ideale is part of the new collection of vintage fragrances, and is based on natural organics extracts and panthenol. The essence comes in a hydroalcoholic siliconized solution to be sprayed on hair stems. It rests on the stem as a soft, light and silky film, making the perfume last longer and giving the hair softness, lightness, shine and volume. Spray also ideal for those who have thin and fragile hair.

Who is not fascinated by the designs and colors of the Italian majolica? Dolce & Gabbana this year have used them to make joyful and original outfits and accessories. Capri Watch was inspired by this trend by creating the clock Watch Majolic Sun, a mix of yellow, blue and green water moving on a white background to create leaves and flowers sinuous. A fantasy that covers the strap and the watch dial.

The best summer ring is decorated with a kiss. This is made by a special bronze dressed of ceramic, a treatment that allows to preserve the brightness and prevent the oxidation of this material. Fruit of Bernard Delettrez creativity, eclectic inventor of original and unusual jewelry, it is proposed in one size adaptable to the finger that will wear this little wonder.
