Bell Flavors & Fragrances releases top 2013 trends in fragrance (Photos)

Bell Flavors & Fragrances, international developer of flavors and fragrances for numerous industries including Cosmetics, Food and Beverage, Household Care, Personal Care, Tobacco and Oral Care, recently announced its selections for the 2013 Top Fragrance Trends.

The company identified four major themes for the year: 1920's, Resort Retreat, Outdated to Updated, and Past-Present-Future. Each theme is further defined by the following descriptions.

For the 1920s theme, think The Great Gatsby. Bell identified hair care scents including Ocean City Blue, Sassy Bellini and Ripple Falls. Fragrances in the 1920's theme for skin care include Sweet Innocence, Midnight Lace, Sheer Romance, Shimmering Daisy, Stardust and Feather Boa.

The Resort Retreat theme is all about slowing down and focusing on what really matters: family, friends, a balanced life. Fragrances identified in this theme include those that evoke a feeling of relaxation--such as a favorite, cozy spot at home, or relaxing with some wine.

In the Outdated to Updated trend, think of the saying "everything old is new again"--it's about reinvention. Hair care fragrances for this theme include Pearadise, Sunrise and Coral Spice.

Finally, in Past-Present-Future, the theme is about 'being in the moment'--while celebrating memories of days passed and looking ahead to those days to come. The fragrances in this theme reflect change. Bath care scents for the Past-Present-Future theme include Brazilian Blue, Sizzle, Electric Lime, Frosted Palms, Oooh, Ahhh and Midsummer Magic.
