Brave Williams and Embellish Fragrance

Bigger, Better and Braver…that is Christina “Brave” William’s approach to 2015, and she is doing just that with our biggest announcement yet for our client B Fragranced, a trending fragrance line. Reality TV star of “R&B Divas” and Billboard hit artist, Brave is the new official ambassador of B Fragranced

Brave’s new album “Fearless” is fitting for both her personality as well as the fearlessness that women feel with Embellish Eau de Parfum’s scent.

The essence of class, romance, and glamour, Embellish embodies all of the characteristics of female sophistication. Indulgent yet light, the fragrance infuses sparkling notes of apple and peach with a splash of citron. With B Fragranced’s mission to encourage women to embrace their feminine individuality, the effervescent notes of jasmine and honeysuckle balance the sultry base of soft amber and sandalwood to make Embellish any woman’s signature scent. Once the fragrance touches your skin, it will adjust to your body chemistry and enhance your natural scent in order to emit a fragrance that is simply your own.

Embellish retails for $54.00 for a 1.7 oz. bottle and $76.00 for a 3.4 oz. bottle at www.bfragranced.com.

Summer is just beginning, and Embellish is the ideal summer scent for any woman. Whether it is a birthday, anniversary or any other special occasion, a new fragrance is the perfect gift, and a one-of-a-kind scent that adjusts to each woman is the perfect way to celebrate her. Show your loved one how much you appreciate her individuality with a gift that’s as unique as she is.

The creator founder of B Fragranced, Marilyn Jones, lost her mother to breast cancer at an early age. Her only true memory of her mother was her mother’s scent. This sparked a passion to create a fragrance as unique as the woman who wears it. The new face of B Fragranced, Brave, is persevering through her father’s diagnosis of prostate cancer and early signs of dementia. Fate brought these two fearless women together, and with a product that they both believe in, they are working side by side to empower all women.
