When I think of La Prairie, I don't think of expensive face creams. Instead, I think of Georgette Mosbacher, the powerhouse bombshell who bought the languishing La Prairie in the 1980s, ratcheted up its profits and visibility, then sold it in 1991. Although Georgette runs Borghese Cosmetics these days, a few lessons from her book, Feminine Force: Release the Power Within to Create the Life You Deserve, apply to La Prairie's new line of fragrances, Life Threads.

Perfumer Constance Georges-Picot developed all three of the Life Threads Eaux de Parfum: Life Threads Silver, Gold, and Platinum. According to the La Prairie website, each of the fragrances represents a different time in a woman's life.

Silver is the romantic scent of the trio, capturing "dreams and aspirations". Its notes are green leaves, bergamot, tuberose, jasmine, ylang ylang, pimento, orange blossom, sandalwood, vetiver, solar musk, and moss. To me it's a buoyant tuberose scent...
