Do You Smell What the Chef is Cooking?

Launching Spring 2014

Despite my cheesy title you really should smell what Chef Roblé Ali has cooked up! Together with Bart Schmidt of Brand with Purpose, his signature women's fragrance CLIQUE by Roblé is poised to launch.

Late last year I had the esteemed pleasure of attending the exclusive invite-only event in NYC where guests weighed in on which of two fragrance recipes would be chosen for the launch. 

Aside from the 100 invited fans in attendance there were such prestigious guests as Sidra Smith, Phillip Bloch, Chenoa Maxwell, Bevy Smith, and of course Artie Thompson and lovely assistant Dan. There was a delicious brunch buffet, and two signature drink creations sponsored by D'USSÉ. My guest/friend Charice and I had an AH-mazing time!

After driving all night from Chicago to be there (because I couldn't get the time off work) we were lucky enough to get actual "face-time" with both Roblé and Bart vs a mere fan-girly picture moment.

Although I did get a little fan-girly when I learned Roblé and I preferred the same recipe... (#TeamLeftWrist)

Bringing it back to the present... Brands with Purpose was gracious enough to send me a sample and I honestly luv it... 

My nose is not trained and I have no clue about tones, notes and things such as that. I just know what I like and I like this. I'm actually complimented often when I wear it (one some woman's poor husband was about to literally get murdered because he was so deep in my glamour telling me how good I smell #TrueStory). 

I have no inside track on the actual launch date or if the promo itinerary includes a stop in Chicago. What I can tell you is, the official launch is approaching & if the opportunity presents for you to try CLIQUE by Roblé you should.
