hydrates and nourishes skin from neck to toes. The body oil now includes gold leaf for a subtle shimmer when applied. Formulated with a host of botanical oils rich in essential fatty acids, including argan, rosa mosqueta, sacha inchi, buriti and sweet almond oils, the restorative oil hydrates without leaving behind any feeling of greasiness. The scents of frangipani, jasmine and mandarin leave behind a delicate and exotic fragrance. The Acqua Colonia fragrance portfolio has been expanded with two new fragrance editions, Plum & Honey and Hazel & Tonka. They are both seasonal editions and, according to the company, demonstrate that light eaux de cologne with the characteristics of perfume can also be enjoyed in winter. Vitalizing, soothing and harmonious, the limited-edition eaux de cologne in combine the pleasingly cool facets of the winter season with warm and soothing moments for him and for her. The fresh, cool and fruity aroma of plum invigorates fatigued minds, provides an energy boost and lends Plum & Honey a seductive charm. This is contrasted with the calming effect and balsamic fragrance of honey. The interplay between both essences results in a cocooning fragrance that is reminiscent of a relaxing autumn walk. The woody, hazelnut fragrance of Hazel & Tonka provides a soothing, comforting effect. Acording to Acqua Colonia, the aroma of tonka beans lends the cologne an aphrodisiac effect that spirits the wearer away to a cosy spot by the fireplace while the ice crystals glisten on the windowpanes. The design of the Acqua Colonia Seasonal Edition features frosty silver, in keeping with the chilly season. It is contrasted by the warm purple of Plum & Honey and the soft, hazelnut brown of Hazel & Tonka. Holiday Road… The year 2013 was no easy street for retail, and it didn’t help that many of the status reports and rumors didn’t reflect what was really happening in the industry, according to NRF. For example, consider the predictions that spending would be down significantly during the holidays due to the government shutdown, harsh winter weather and fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. When consumer spending reports were released after the holidays, NRF saw that spending was in fact up from the previous year. What’s more surprising was that spending was consistently up throughout the season, not just in December. Perhaps the same will remain true for 2014? We’ll find out soon enough.
