Personally, I don't use fragrance, and only use essential oils. Stephan [Weiss] said, Donna, we have to do fragrance - fragrance will last forever - fashion goes up and down.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate these young [Israeli] designers. There's too much strife in the world. If we become united in our creativity, not only in what we wear, but what we do, we will change the world. It's truly an honor to be around such inspiration.
