Almost every actor in Hollywood lies about their age at some point in their career, it's practically part of the job description. So when it comes to knowing a celebs' true age, it can be a bit tricky -- especially with the fondness they have for plastic surgery, Botox, fillers and more! Take this quiz to see if the numbers you've heard these celebs say match up with their actual ages. Take the quiz

Hello to your lovely day! Have a quick read then click over and enjoy the website of Francis Kurkdjian.
As you know, I am a fragrance junkie. Love the stuff, love to layer it on from body wash, lotion to parfum spray. I just finished reading through and smelling the many scents included in the media kit of Francis Kurkdjian. You may not know his face or his name, though I guarantee you know his fragrances as he has created award winning scents for some of the largest designer names.
I find a fragrance to be the perfect accessory and the simplest ways to define your own personal style. If you don't have a signature scent by now, get one! I've switched from Chanel to Dior and now I'm so into APOM by Francis Kurkdjian that it's my signature scent for 2010! I've got to get a bottle to go along with the sample.

If you aren't a big fragrance wearer, perhaps it's you have quite learned the notes, now a scent dries down and you can smell t he top, middle and base notes ( or scents) that the parfum is created with.

If you find allergic reactions to perfumes, try organic scented oils though please stear clear of the patchouli.

At your convenience, please visit the website and learn more about the scents and background of parfumier Francis Kurkdjian.

As for APOM; the anagram stands for A Piece Of Me and was created from inspiration and memories of stories his grandmother told him with travels to Lebanon. It's orange blossom and cedar wood with Ylang-Ylang flower. Light, floral, has depth and feels like a frangance of a woman on the move! Love it! Thank you Francis!

Hello! You know me, "fragrance junkie"!
Now I just sampled these two fragrances and they are perfect for Fall leading into the Holiday season and unique that they have not been deployed through "gift" in the retail season so you are sure to be "scented" differently than the rest of the crowd at your office parties.

I mean, it's one thing to show up to an event in the same dress, but to be sharing the same fragrance with half the party is another thing. So it goes when the bathroom of the establishment has a dollar vending machine that sprays either Opium or Poison. Yes, I like these fragrances, just not from a public restroom in an industrial size sprayer.

Here's a bit about t he fragrances straight from the dairy of Maitre Parfumeur:
"...Evening in Forte Dei Marmian atmosphere of old world romanticism. The brightest stars catch my gaze..." and so on.

The Top Note is: bergamot from Calabria, Sicilian lemon, black pepper and grains of coriander
The Heart Note is: blossom, jasminie absolte, Turkish rose essence, violet and orchid
The Base Note is: benzoini, vanilla, tonka bean, heliotrope, white musk and sandalwood

This is the white bottle and it's available at Takayashima, Stuido Beauty Mix at fred Segal and Gus Mayer.

Now, the black bottle is lovely! More my scent! It's a bit more spicy and has a pine resin and incense smell to it. No wonder I like it.

The Top Note is: bigarrade, lime, mandarine, fig leaves, junioper, rock rose, basil, lavender and cypress
The Heart Note is: jasmine from Grasse, pine resine, mate and incense
The Base Note is: cedar wood

Yummy! Get yours t oday! I also Googled the fragrance names and found some online stores that are carrying the perfumes so go ahead and get yours today to allow shipping time before the Holiday season kicks into full gear.

Besides, you can use the new perfume at upcoming tailgate parties to stand apart from the smell of burgers on the grill. ;)
