How Great Thou Art
This title brings to
our minds thoughts of the beauty and grace of God's country as we celebrate His Majesty. There is no better way to soothe
the heart and soul. Wondrous wilderness landscapes will enchant the eye.
Valentine's Day is very near.
The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the
day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. This is the day lovers express their feelings to
each other. This day is usually observed by the sending of greeting cards, gifts and dating. It is a financial field day for
the florist and candy businesses. These types of gifts are wonderful but very temporary. Flowers are beautiful, fragrant and
fragile. They wilt and fade. Candy is enjoyed while consuming it, but then it is all over.
Why not give a gift
that is not only long lasting, but creates lasting memories of the one you love so dearly? Designer Fragrances have endured
through the years. Many of the fragrances introduced to society many years ago are still on the best seller list in 2008.
In 2003 Cacharel introduced a fragrance for women called Amor Amor. Amor means love. Yes, love also comes in
a beautiful red bottle and box, a special gift for a very special lady. Love leads to Euphoria by Calvin Klein. Euphoria works
for both sides, perfume for the lady and cologne for the man. Amor Amor meets Euphoria. What a relationship!
Valentine's
Day is multinational. Fragrance has no respect of persons. It knows no culture, gender or age. Most people are well aware
of what it means to be well dressed.
I continue to stress this because wearing a beautiful fragrance is
indeed a part of the wardrobe of the well-dressed person. Fragrances can also be worn in the form of a body or shaving lotion
or a bath product as well as shampoo.
Heart-shaped symbols are definitely representative of Valentine's
Day gifts. Even if you give a gift of jewelry such as a heart-shaped pendant, a great Designer Fragrance is still the gift
that leaves the memory behind once the person has departed. The beautiful scent will linger and remind you of the time spent
with your special Valentine.
There are many ways to express your love and appreciation for others. My recommendation
for romantic fragrance gifts are Amor Amor by Cacharel and Euphoria by Calvin Klein. They both are perfect to wear day or
evening.
Amor Amor was introduced in 2003. This refreshing oriental scent is filled with fruits, florals,
fragrant woods and vanilla.
Euphoria Cologne was introduced in 2006. Its amazing scent includes the mixture
of ginger pepper, patchouli, and suede.
As we think of the beauty and grace of God's country and how
the wilderness landscapes enchant our eyes, may your gift of a designer fragrance lead to precious memories of the beauty
and grace of the one dear to your heart.
Happy Valentine's Day!
