About
“Women can be anything but boring. They play many roles and never wear just one fragrance. This is exactly why I created this edition; the same as my fashion; as a collection. When I design, I bestow women with options. I want to complete every aspect of her complex lifestyle. To show the elegant side, sensual side provocative side of her personality. This perfume collection is based upon the same philosophy.” – Bill Blass
