Stumble It!Celebrate Valentine’s Day With “Pretty Woman” Perfume
Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on February 6th, 2010
BSW was on the scene this Thursday, February 4, to celebrate the welcoming of Barbara Orbison’s highly acclaimed perfume “Pretty Woman,” at the Whole Lotta Loving event at Apothia Fred Segal located on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood.
Apothia Fred Segal at Pretty Woman Event
The beautiful Barbara Orbison had just walked the famous Hollywood Blvd. to receive a Star for her late husband Roy who is known world wide for his many hits like Pretty Woman, which is still just as hot today as it was when first released. Barbara was glowing and felt that her fragrance (which she has been wearing for 20 years and just now decided to bottle it), said that the name suited her scent since she so strongly felt that “all women are beautiful on the inside and out.” Which of course is BSW’s motto, so Barbara and I were off and running into a deep conversation.
Barbara began to tell me how in her German family background the women were all known for creating fragrances and concocting things. (another thing in common we had!) She explained that she would buy other fragrances but they were always missing a certain ingredient. It took her decades to find the perfect mix of florals, crisp bergamot with rich notes of amber, patchouli and cedar. Every day some one would stop her to inquire “what scent she was wearing.” According to Barbara, “some women would actually hug me so they could get my scent onto themselves!”

I just loved talking to Barbara and felt inclined to tell her my parents love story…On June 19, 2010, our parents will be married 50 years! Our father still refers to our mother as his “pretty woman” and in her honor plays Roy’s famous song to her every day! When I told Barbara this she immediately insisted on giving me her late husband Roy Orbison’s “Definitive Collection” to celebrate their anniversary. This lady was truly the epitome of her fragrance!

Now I could go on about this woman but this post would be endless! The gals at Apothia Fred Segal along with Barbara gave my 7 year old daughter Ella some roll on perfume which she has been wearing every day mind you, and gave one to her teacher Heather the very next day! We’ve also been listening to Roy’s discs in the car and Ella knows all the words “thanks to poppy Jerry…”
Pretty Woman is currently available at: Studio Beauty Mix at Fred Segal on Melrose and in Santa Monica, Ron Robinson Apothia, Korres in NY, Planet Blue, Private Edition in Nashville, Stanley Korshak in Dallas, Cos Bar in Aspen, Woodley and Bunny in Williamsburg, and The Peninsula Hotel in LA. You can also purchase it at www.prettywomanperfume.com.
Remember girls, one spray of “Pretty Woman” will empower you, making you feel strong & confident all day long!
