Scent of a Woman

Jeweler-to-the-stars Irene Neuwirth launched her new fragrance with a cocktail party at a stunning private home in Venice with host Barneys New York, the exclusive carrier of the perfume. Guests including Cameron Silver, Kendall Conrad and Shiva Rose gathered to celebrate the beachy scent, which is laced with orange blossom, vanilla and roses, and inspired by the designer’s love of California and the ocean. Neuwirth’s new venture is the third limited-edition launch for Barneys’ Designer Fragrance Collection. Attendees of the elegant soiree enjoyed delicious bites by Jon Shook of Animal, as well as Casa Dragones sipping tequila poured by The Spare Room. The gathering turned lively thanks to the beckoning sounds of the band Ooks of Hazzard, which entertained the beautiful crowd into the wee hours. –Photos by Donato Sardella courtesy of Barneys New York
