The “IT” fragrance note for the fall 2012 season, or HipNote, has been declared by Tru Fragrance. Sandalwood, the ultimate fragrance note for the fall 2012 season, is a warm and elegant fragrance note which is normally found as a base note; and sometimes as the heart of a fragrance.

Sandalwood is also right in line with the current fashion trends from the runways and the streets. As fashion becomes more structured, clean and elegant as we move info fall, it is only natural that our fragrance would follow suit.

Sandalwood happens to be one of the most valuable, oldest and most expensive fragrance notes out there. The natural oil from sandalwood, as well as the synthetic versions used in fragrance, create a warm, rich fragrance experience which is not only perfect for the cool weather found during the fall months, it is luxurious and adds the perfect finishing touch to a fall 2012 ensemble. After all, you are never fully dressed without fragrance ;- )

Sandalwood is also a popular fragrance note for men’s fragrances and shaving products. This HipNote can be warm and masculine when mixed with other woods as well as aquatic notes or leathery fragrance notes.

Home fragrance will also enjoy sandalwood as the ultimate HipNote for the fall 2012 season. Sandalwood based candles and other home fragrances create a warm and inviting environment in your home which is perfect for cool fall days and nights; and very cozy for when the fog rolls in from the bay. Love that!

It is only natural that the top of the shoe game and the top of the high tech game would meet and fuse together.

Bergdorf Goodman recently declared on their blog that rich jewel tones are al the rage for fall 2012.

Purple for the fall 2012 season is being shown in many hues. While Amethyst is one of the more popular shades of purple this fall season, every shade of purple imaginable has been spotted on stores shelves.
Designers have opted for light through dark hues, blue toned purple and reddish purple. Every shade of purple is hot for fall; so if you are shopping your closet for the fall season, you can’t go wrong with a purple garment or accessory from a past season.
Purple is a versatile hue this fall 2012 season. This brilliant and quite royal hue is being shown in every variety of ensemble from casual dress through to gala attire. Purple is being shown on every accessory and garment imaginable as well as every fall fabrication from leather to glitter pumps to handwoven sweaters.

Look for purple accents to brighten up your wardrobe or dazzle with a jewel-tone purple dress. Either way, you will look amazing  Happy shopping and stay fabulous
