ICONIC SCENT FOR SUMMER
Albert Krigler founded his eponymous fragrance house in 1904 in Russia, but the fragrances were not sold in America until 1931 when his granddaughter relocated to New York. Today with only two boutiques in the world — located in Monaco and the Plaza Hotel in New York — Krigler's iconic scents remain exclusive. Greet summer with the Krigler fragrance inspired by the French Riviera. Krigler English Promenade 19 was released in 1919 and features notes of orange blossom, fresh grapefruit, sweet white musk, oriental neroli and ylang ylang. It is available for $205 (50 ml) at Krigler.com.
CALENDULA DUO
Don't let summer heat turn your skin to an oil slick. The new Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash from Kiehl's is a creamy gel formula that turns to foam when mixed with water. It lifts oil and dirt without stripping skin of moisture. Use it with the bestselling Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner ($21 - $62) to prep skin for the next step in your regimen. The face wash is $29 at Kiehl's Since 1851 boutique in Lenox Square or online at Kiehls.com.
