One Tree Hill Grows Up, Scents-ually Speaking

It may have been tough for some of you One Tree Hill finatics to say goodbye to the gang after a nine season show! But while some of you were thinking about the end of the show, the finale, and what not...I sit here thinking, what fragrance may they have worn 9 years a go on set...and what they may be wearing today.
Let's take a step back, down memory lane and have fun with my favorite characters, Brooke Davis (played by Sophia Bush) and Nathan Scott (played by James Lafferty).
In my opinion, Brooke has grown the most over the course of the nine series. At the beginning, she was the seductive, crazy girl who loved to party and didn't have a care in the world. Now, look at her 8 seasons later as a mother and a wife, owning her own, not to mention super successful business, and I love that she always finds a way to follow her instinct with her heart. I think, she may have worn Escada Sexy Graffiti perfume, because, well she had that careless attitude, and lived her life minute by minute. Nowadays, I'd love to think she wears Versace's Bright Crystal perfume.
Now, Nathan...he made himself out to be quite the athlete, and I can't imagine him wearing anything but something like the NBA Knicks cologne by Air Val International. Over the season's series, he had obtained many obstacles and struggled, I feel he still remained strong even through his accident, his annoying father, alchoholic mom, and the list goes on and on. I'd like to think that he uses Escape by Calvin Klein, or even CK Free by Calvin Klein. They say scent is the most powerful sense, and with what's going on in this characters life, he needs a good escape and to free his mind.
Who were your fave One Tree Hill characters and what fragrances do you think they used?
Indulge in green fragrances before the cold sets in
It won't be too long until the landscape for most of the country becomes brown and drab again. As summer fades into fall, we will begin to lose sight of the vibrant greens that so define the season of the sun. And because we don't want to rush summer off too soon, we're dedicating this blog entry to green summer fragrances. Besides, won't you miss that smell of fresh-cut grass?
Green notes include everything from green tea accord to cucumber and violets. Often, green notes are blended with fruity florals to create a refreshing fragrance, the scent equivalent to a fine sauvignon blanc from New Zealand's Marlborough region.
The following are some of our favorite green fragrances (for men and women).
Marc Jacobs Grass: The name on this one pretty much gives it away. This invigorating perfume smells of fresh-mowed grass and soft woods. Jacobs has successfully taken the essence of a summer morning and stored it in a bottle. And like any summer morning, Marc Jacobs Grass is brimming with possibilities. The designer also makes Marc Jacobs Cucumber, Marc Jacobs Basil and Marc Jacobs Gardenia.
Creed Irisia: Irisia is a timeless classic fragrance for women. Wearing Irisia is like taking a walk through a secret garden filled with tuberose, violets, bergamot and the stunning iris, which is this perfume's highlight green accord.
Usher UR: UR cologne gets its green-ness from its herbal notes of basil and bay oil. These refreshing accords are layered over spicier notes of guaiac wood, cashmere wood and sandalwood.
Demeter Fragrance Library: Demeter has rolled out a collection of fragrances that mimic everything from the smell of homegrown tomatoes to ripe cucumbers. Demeter's mission is to create fragrances inspired by real life everyday objects and experiences. There's even one called Poison Ivy.
Estee Lauder Aliage: Aliage, Estee Lauder's sports fragrance for women, opens with a blast of jasmine and cool citrus, giving it an invigorating, vibrant green opening.
A Scent by Issey Miyake: According to the Issey Miyake Website, A Scent is a feminine perfume inspired by pure fresh air. Heart notes of hyacinth and galbanum are accented by verbena and jasmine. Does it get much greener than that?
Aramis Devin: Devin cologne by Aramis is the green machine. This fragrance gets its green on early with opening notes of rich herbs and citrus, followed by intense spices of incense and patchouli.
Eau de Reglisse by Caron: Both the men's and women's fragrances contain green notes, but Eau de Reglisse perfume blends in a little more of nature's best with herbal notes of basil, lemon verbena and nutmeg.
LaCoste Essential: This men's cologne was created with a special time-release technology so that the fresh citrus accord lasts all day. Other green notes include tomato leaves and cassis, making LaCoste Essential cologne a unique and satisfying summer scent.
CK Truth by Calvin Klein: The heart of CK Truth men's cologne is watery greens, flanked and enhanced by fresh herbs of basil and cardamom. The green accords are everpresent, even through the woodsy drydown, intertwining nature and masculinity.
