November 30, 2009

Lubin Idole, Lubin Le Vetiver, and Lubin L'Eau Neuve

Supplier to the royal courts since the early 19th century and one of the world’s oldest perfume houses, Lubin is steeped in luxury and history. Miomia is proud to carry three of Lubin’s most famous and alluring scents.

“Idole” by Lubin is a heady blend of saffron, bitter orange, rum absolute, black cumin, bitter orange peel with heart notes of doum palm, smoked ebony and sugar cane. Lingering base notes of leather and red sandalwood complete this exotic creation. To purchase Idole, click here.

“Le Vetiver” by Lubin evokes the legendary creatures that live in the deepest of Celtic forests. It combines citrus with exotic spices overlaid with the magic reminiscence of mysterious forest undergrowth. To purchase “Le Vetiver,” click here.

“L’Eau Neuve,” created in 1968, is the fresh-scented reflection of a carefree freedom-loving era. Its citrus, spicy and woody notes combine in the most natural composition. To purchase “L’Eau Neuve,” click here.

Nightscape by Ulrich Lang New York

Nightscape by Ulrich Lang New York

My dear friend Uli recently dropped off a bottle of his newest potion, Nightscape. The packaging is clean, sophisticated, and quintessentially New York. The outside sleeve presents a twinkling, evening nightscape of our city, photographed by American photographer Matt Licari.

But onto the scent…the scent. Nightscape is warm, rich, and woody. When I asked Uli how he would describe this alluring scent, he smiled and simply replied,”A modern patchouli.” I couldn’t believe it…patchouli? Really? Nightscape took me leaps and bounds beyond the headache-inducing “patches” of my collegiate past, by intertwining notes of bergamot, jasmine, geranium, cedarwood, leather, musk, amber, and tonka bean.

So here you have it: a new patchouli for all. Purchase your own bottle of Nightscape here.

New Launch : Kai Fragrance

September 6, 2009

Kai Fragrance at miomia

Kai Fragrance at miomia

Gaye Straza spent her youth vacationing in the tropics. After years of avoiding mainstream perfumes because they did not agree with her, Straza decided to create a scent for herself that embodied the exotic white flowers she loved. for several months she worked tirelessly with a small boutique fragrance house to develop what we now know as Kai Fragrance.

The first time Straza wore Kai, she was stopped mid-stride by a beauty editor on Madison Avenue in New York City, asking where she could buy the scent. This was a foreshadowing of events to come. Straza soon thereafter made the fragrance available in her own upscale women’s fashion boutique in Malibu .

Kai took on a life of its own. There was so much demand for the fragrance that Straza sold her boutique in 1999 to develop the line, launching Kai as its own company.

Today, Kai is sold at exclusive boutiques and spas all over the world, with many devotees including Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Watts and others.

Miomia’s selection of Kai include the following items:

Kai’s philosophy is simple and beautiful. Breath. Life. Flow.
