Six Scents has been a favorite of beautylab clients and strategists from the moment the line was added to our scent gallery, so naturally we were ecstatic to read that they’ll be launching a new series in less than a month. For the second series, six pairs of designers and perfumers explored the idea of [...]

The entire beautycall team will be out and about twittering/liveblogging this evening’s festivities.

The September Issue. What to say, what to say…
