“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” said Leonardo da Vinci. Somehow I don’t think he had beauty routines or vanity tables in mind when he said this but you never know. He was a Renaissance man, after all.
Bulgari's new body cream absorbs easily, leaving an intoxicating scent.
I recently found a new product that’s really rather captivating in its simplicity, Bulgari’s Jasmin Noir body cream. The plain black jar, minimally adorned with a single gold band, catches the eye. The rich, yet light, cream is a joy to use, keeps skin summer-soft and eliminates the need for any other fragrance.
Earlier this week, I slathered some on after a shower and then dashed out the door for a blowout. “You smell fantastic. What is that?” Nava, the stylist, asked me as she washed my hair. Leaning back, with my feet up, it was the perfect way to relish the feeling of well being and pampering.
Bulgari says it was drawn to jasmine for its “intriguing ambivalence and complexity,” noting that the flower’s scent changes hour by hour. “At dawn, the translucent white flower has a fresh and delicate scent, then at midday it releases a citrusy fragrance that recalls orange blossoms, which then transforms in the evening into the characteristically warmer, more seductive notes.”
Perfect for a femme fatale, no? Also available: soap, bath & shower gel, body lotion and perfume. Bulgari’s Jasmin Noir Body Cream is $90 for 6.9 ounces. To buy it, visit Neiman Marcus.

Decadent…It has femme fatale written all over it.
I love Jasmine. This sounds lovely.
I already have the perfume! I ran and bought it as soon as I heard it was available! And I looove it! If I had the body lotion my happiness would be complete! I love everything BLV! Especially Jasmine Noir!
Lovely scent. I would love to win the body cream since $90 might strain my make-up budget just a tad!
Love your site.
I recently discovered this gorgeous Bulgari fragrance and fell in love with it instantly. Definitely worthy of a true femme fatale
