There’s
been a wave of designers starting beauty collections of late, including Marc
Jacobs, Jason Wu and Michael Kors. Tory Burch is the latest, with a new fragrance, makeup collection and bath-and-body range.
Unlike Jacobs, who released enough products to fill one of his oversize
satchels and then some, Burch took a “less is more” approach. “I’m not into a
heavy beauty regimen,” she admitted, with a laugh.
In keeping with the vision for her clothing line, for Tory Burch Beauty the designer drew inspiration from her past, specifically her well-known parents, Buddy and Reva Robinson, and the chic world in which they lived. “My dad always wore Green Water, or Vetiver by Guerlain, and so did I, so vetiver was the starting point for my scent,” she said. “I wanted it to be tomboy but feminine, so we combined vetiver with citrus, florals like jasmine and tuberose, and woods.” The bottle’s fretwork cap is a nod to the beloved Chinese Chippendale chairs from her childhood home, while its beveled edge recalls the vintage flacons that decorated her mother’s vanity. “I remember her wearing everything from Chanel No. 5 to Paris,” Burch noted. Her mother’s judicious approach to primping guided the makeup selection as well, which includes a lip stain that doubles as a cheek tint, a blush and bronzer combined in one and a pinkish nude lipstick.

But
the prettiest accouterments? The body moisturizers, shower gel and candle, all
of which are wrapped in pale pink tones. “I kept thinking about how they would
look in your bathroom, and I liked how the color went with orange,” Burch said
of her signature shade. But above all, she wanted everything in the collection
(even the makeup) to have a drop of that vetiver-spiked eau de parfum.
