Sisley, an established European brand, was launching it’s new perfume line, which comes in three parts, apptly named “1,” “2,” and “3,” designed to take a woman from morning to night.

“1″ has a lighter, fresh, basic feel for those who like a more casual scent, “2″ is a bit more intense, but a nice balance, especially once it has settled into your skin, and “3″ was what the PR team was calling a “spicier” more exotic, seductive scent, to wear to an evening affair.  For some reason, the word “spicy” and how I want to smell do not go hand-in-hand for me, so when offered our choice of the three with our gift bags on the way out, I went for the more classic “2,” although number “3″ was the popular seller among most of the other ladies!

The Carlyle was an amazing setting for this type of promotional event, and it doubled as publicity for the hotel’s new serene salon & spa, located on the 3rd floor.

Side Note (or rant as the case may be):  On our way in, we were overwhelmed by how many news stations and camera crews were positioned outside the nearby Lennox Hill Hospital, where the lovely Natasha Richardson was reportedly being treated.  I was devastated to later leave the event and refresh my twitter feed only to see a slew of R.I.P. messages for Natasha, and even more appalled to see the gang of 50 paparazzi waiting at the hospital entrance, trying to capture the first picture of her devastated family.  There are limits–and that just crossed the line.  I hope today they have moved on and are allowing the family to mourn in peace.
