GUESS who’s back?

THIS MONTH, after nearly two years of absence, Guess Fragrances are making a comeback with a varied fragrance portfolio for the young, sexy and adventurous. The comeback is headlined by the iconic scent Guess Dare. The floral-woody-musk composition of Guess Dare for Women provides a cocktail of kumquat, lemon, and pear blossom which plays on exotic shades in a modern way. Made by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, this fragrance arrives in a glass bottle that fits perfectly in a denim pocket. Its male counterpart, the woody-citrus Guess Dare for Men, is a formulation of bergamot, white pepper, geranium, and juniper berry. Created by master perfumer Jacques Huclier, this fragrance comes in a stylish grey glass flacon. Guess Dare ranges in price from P2,350 for the 50ml Dare EDT to P2,950 for the 100ml Dare Homme EDT. The fragrances, exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corp., will be available at selected Rustan’s, SM, Landmark, and Robinsons Department Stores this month.

AS the popular Japanese cartoon Voltes V celebrates its 40th year since it was first shown on TV in Japan, Giordano has released its latest collection that reflects the passion of Filipinos for the great mecha anime. The collection indulges in nostalgia for this series by prominently displaying some of the most important characters in the anime, like Mark, Jamie, Little John, Big Bert, Steve, and the star of the show itself, Voltes V. Several designs also give life to Voltes V’s most iconic weapons like the ultra-electro magnetic top and laser sword. A limited edition design which has Combattler V, Daimos, and Voltes V in one shirt will also be released as part of this collection. Giordano will also release shirts that will utilize the artwork of five Filipino artists who won the Voltes V Tee Design Contest. The winners of the contest are: Jarrel Soliman, RJ Camacho, Frederick Gan, Jhomel Antonio, and Jefferson Velayo. The collection includes men’s printed T’s, women’s printed T’s, junior printed T’s, men’s polo, men’s embroidered T’s, and men’s hooded cotton jacket.
