Weekly Wisdom - We are not meant to be perfect. We are meant to be whole.

After hearing Mariah’s ‘Candy Bling’ single off her album ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ and the story of her engagement to Nick Cannon, Elizabeth Arden became inspired to work with Mariah to create three new fragrances; Honey, Ribbon and Mine Again. More after the cut.

The story behind the perfume is that Nick proposed to Mariah whilst celebrating her 18th number 1 single, Touch My Body. He produced a huge diamond ring inside the wrapper of a Topps lollipop ring, hence the inspiration for the song. According to her website [http://www.lollipopbling.com/] the ‘honey’ scent is supposed to smell like sun-drenched sensuality (a fusion of floral and citrus). ‘Mine again’ is apparently dangerously delicious (a sensual blend of exotic flower melts into a mouth-watering fruity temptation) and last but not least Ribbon is ravished and enraptured (a romantic duet both floral and fruity).

I think the idea of teaming up with Topps was to create some sort of candy type scents that won’t have you smelling like a cheap baby hooker. However, I have yet to sample them so who knows!
