Sean Combs has a newmalefragrance called I Am King coming out this month. It’s going to be available exclusively at Macy’s until February 2009.

Here’s more………

By dubbing it I Am King, Sean Combs leaves no doubt as to his expectations for his latest mens fragrance, due as a Macys exclusive in December before rolling out to wider distribution in February. Industry sources estimated that the scent could do upward of $100 million globally in its first year on counter.

Sean Diddy Combs knows he might raise a few eyebrows by calling his latest scent I Am King, but he doesnt care.

I Am King is a statement about all men, said Combs, during an interview at his Bad Boy Entertainment offices in Manhattan. We are all descendents of royalty…”

I’m not a Sean Combs fan. I don’t dislike him, I just don’t respond well to arrogance.I remember seeing ads for Unforgivable showing him in intimate situations with a couple of different women. I wondered what it meant… wear this and you will get blondes and brunettes?……wear this and you can get away with getting both blondes and brunettes?……

What I’ve seen of ads for I Am King show a similar arrogant attitude, lots of posturing on the deck of yacht, slowly entering a casino, gambling in the casino, expensive toys like ajetski and a helicopter,arms around his ladies……… Not sure what thisad has to do withscent either……does he smell like money?……success?……. I predict he sells the heck out of this stuff.

The notes for I Am King include tangerine zest, orange, cranberry, “a proprietary Imperial French berry note”, kir royal, crme de cassis, premium Champagne, cooling Mediterranean water, key lime pie, lemon cream, labdanum, cedarwood, vetiver, white moss, sandalwood and clean powdery undertones.

Protecting your skin can be tricky during the cold Winter months…..

Harsh winds and cold spells that come withwinter can strip away your skin’s moisture levels leaving your skin feeling tight and dry. Indoors, central heating and the extra layers of clothes you wear can prevent your skin from getting the air it needs to properly breathe. .

Protect your skin by moisturizing daily, using warm, rather than hot water when showering or bathing, and consider using a humidifier to add beneficial moisture back into the air. Good skincare products withmoisturizing ingredientsand a great scent add fun and variety to your skincare routine.

Just in time for Winter skincare….more great savings from AVON - Save up to 60% on your favoritescented AVON shower gels (regularly $8-$15) and lotions ($7-$15).
