Thank you to everyone who attended our VIP perfume party for Thierry Mugler's latest perfume hit, Womanity!  The sweet and salty fragrance, layered with notes of Fig, Caviar and Fig Wood was a huge hit with all in attendance.  We spritzed, posed and drank a lot of bubbly.  In fact, we nearly ran out of our stash of Peller Estate's Ice Cuvee Rose!
