It’s About Time You Got Your Penney’s Worth

[There’s so much more that you can now do with a penny…at JCPenney!]

I have a hunch that the penny is the new dollar. The penny…so hot right now. We have such warm affection for the one cent that it’s even tied to superstition – “see a penny pick it up, and all day long you’ll have good luck!” But in the same breath, we’ve somehow gotten away from that notion; according to a penny focused survey done by JCPenney, “5 million Americans (2 in 5) say they usually wouldn’t even pick up a penny if they saw it on the sidewalk.

Lanvin Introduces its New Fragrance, Éclat de Fleurs

by Rachael Comeau

Recently Lanvin unveiled its newest and arguably best yet fragrance, Éclat de Fleurs, which epitomizes femininity with both floral and fruity notes. FPD took in the featured and most prominent scent elements at the launch event last week, which include pear, a bouquet of flowers, white musk, and sandalwood. This fragrance follows the 2002 release of Eclat de Arpège, inspire by the bond between house founder Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter.

This previous fragrance was used as further inspiration for Éclat de Fleurs, which is described by the brand as “feminine, fresh, and spontaneous, that gives off both lightness and joy.” The aim is to give the impression of a sunny spring afternoon, which it certainly does, in full sensory aromas. The bottle features a carved out flower, resembling the marguerite, which is also the name of Jeanne Lanvin’s daughter. The fragrance is priced at $82 for the 1.7 oz. size, and $105 for the 3.3 oz., and is available now exclusively at Nordstrom.
