    The old saying, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” dates back to wedding traditions of the Victorian Era and represents tokens of good luck that brides must carry on their wedding day to ensure their marriages will be a happy ones. The “something blue” represents the virtues of love, purity, and fidelity for brides to be.

    A gorgeous “something blue” that is sure to bring every bride good luck, is Lancome’s newest fragrance creation, Mille et Une Roses. An aromatic inspiration, sweet and delicate like the gentle rose, Mille et Une Roses hails as a perfect synthesis of the timeless allure of rich roses and modern amber.

    A harmonious composition blends the thousand and one variations of Lancome’s signature rose, while distinguishing it apart from other scents by adding natural rose extract.

    Three notes comprised of raw materials typically only used in traces, make up the intense mixture in its entirety. Absoulute Damascus Rose, the ultimate rose is rich and luxurious, while Ambroxan, a modern amber seduces quiet splendor, and raw Seed of Ambrette derived from the seeds of the muskmallow plant, delivers a powerful essence rarely seen in such small amounts.
    The elegant, timeless bottle blends memories of the past with the modern sensibility of today’s brides.

    Mille et Une Roses 1.7 oz. spray, will retail for $125.00 and will be available in May exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue.
