Bench Scents: Isabelle Daza's Ritual and Univers!

I love runway and I love scents. It's the perfect marriage if you ask me. Bench always has the good stuff and this event was no different. They just recently launched a new eau de toilette and body spray designed and inspired by the one and only Isabelle Daza. It's about time if you ask me. She's darn gorgeous and of course she takes a gene or more from Mom who won Ms. Universe right? Let's see what transpired that evening at the Trinoma Activity Center.

The stage was set! They built their own Mom and Pop shop right in the center and it was reminiscent of Soda counters in the 1960's but it was nothing old. The theme was just right. It was classic and judging from the smell I got in the sample bottles they got me, it's fit to be used by Men and Women. How can you go wrong with that?

Pretty "swing" dance numbers came after. Then we saw the star of the evening, it's Isabelle Daza!

Then she bade goodbye and made way for a short fashion show featuring Bench's (still) summer collection and a whole lot of body spritzers for the audience. Fashion with a scent, why not!

Easy going, light and colorful fabrics with prints and different patterns. It can work even on rainy days! Who says you have to be gloomy and dark on this weather?

Then the men came in and proved my point =)

Ritual Deo Cologne is for those who love something light and fresh. It's grassy, cedar and flowery undertones that is not too girly gives it a spot on the more "unisex" sector because it can be easily worn by men. The UNIVERS bottle on the other hand plays a more dreamy, flowery and woodsy notes that can also work both men and women. Isabelle had a hand designing these two fragrances because she thought of something that can be totally attractive to both sexes. It's something that can't be contained in one's sexual orientation. It can be the perfect gift for your partner or just for personal use everyday without smelling too strong or too girly when that time comes you get smelled by other people. Admit it, they do!

Friends, relatives, executives from Suyen Corporation, Ben Chan himself and Isabelle Daza's supporters were all in attendance. They got hold of what Isabelle wants in a perfume during the show. Our own Ms. Universe Ms. Gloria Diaz was also in front to see her daughter and Bench celebrate her new fragrance!

Spotted my crush Jasmine Maierhoffer too! ^_^ hihi!

Then Isabelle Daza was given a bouquet of flowers by her Mom and of course Mr. Ben Chan.

Congratulations Ms Isabelle Daza for becoming Bench's latest Scent endorser! Rush over to Bench Lifestyle stores to get hold of Ritual and UNIVERS to experience how it is to have the smell that Isabelle loves in spray cans and bottles. I wore it today and I smell so nice that my friends ask me about it. It's time to fulfill your fantasies by having one now! It's about time!

Bench Universe: The 2012 Denim and Underwear Show - Part 4 (FINALE)

This is the 4th and last installment of the BENCH UNIVERSE coverage that I've been doing these past few days. It ain't over yet because the best is about to come out! Gorgeous men and women on the catwalk for BENCH's 25th Anniversary. I promised to take you even further about experiencing what it is to be on the front row and got you so many close ups of your favorite stars, celebrities and models during this Bi Annual Underwear and Denim Fashion Show from global brand BENCH.

If you haven't seen the other parts of the show see PART I HERE, PART II HERE and PART III HERE. Just imagine if I did it with one post, people would have been scrolling for hours hahaah!

Before we start, would you mind following me on Twitter @kumagcow and like my Facebook page first?

(NOTE: Please do not copy/download or modify any photos on this post. Refer your friends to this article instead, clear? =) )

So let's begin by showing you the dancers from EHLAY (L.A.) that BENCH flew in just for this show.

They all were modelesque if there's a term and their dances were really in tune with what the show requires. These guys blew us away!

These three girls were really good, one of them stood out but that's debatable hehe. It looks like aother part of the show was about to happen. The FINALE!

Then one of my favorites from US vs UK Edition of ANTM went back on stage. SOPHIE SUMNER!

Oh Sophie, you are so beautiful!

Now, as if that wasn't enough another ANTM Model came in. My favorite ALLISON HARVARD!

I specifically requested to her on twitter to spend a few minutes posing in front of the stage and told her I'll be in front center, and she gave me all the opportunity to shoot her. Oh those gorgeous eyes, that awesome skin, I couldn't be happier!

Then there were perfect bodied foreign models again :D

Not to be outdone, this is the first time that Jennelyn Mercado is joining BENCH. Just look at this gorgeous red number!

Now this guy is from GMA if I'm not mistaken. If I get him identified I'll edit and update the article :) (I was wrong apparently because he is Alex Castro, he sings together with Marky Stroem and JM De Guzman in ASAP, thanks to user @iAmAnilovich for the tip!)

Then under the management of Leo Dominguez, here's Ms. Universe's daughter Isabelle Diaz-Daza

I love her, she's simple and beautiful. Like Angle Aquino, she's timeless, kinda like that.

He's horny... what I meant was he's got horns LOL

Vavavoom Bianca Manalo shows her new do and body fit for a beauty queen.

The next one ladies and gentlemen would probably be a little rowdy, hold on to your horses because here's Nathan of Walang Hanggan aka the one and only Paulo Avelino

I wonder what he's doing? Sexy, he's got the body and looks to boot! Good job Paulo!

Then comes his arch enemy in the series, the FINALE with Coco Martin!

He's proven that one need not to strip in order to be sexy. Then they all came back on stage and posed on front.

If that part wasn't amazing enough, they go ahead and bring Far East Movement to the center stage...

The designers came out too!

Here are some random shots from the finale!

This overwhelmingly successful project was nothing but a great way to celebrate 25 years of BENCH. Congratulations on holding one of the best shows I have ever seen in my entire life. Congratulations to everyone who supported and made BENCH UNIVERSE possible. Thank you also to everyone who got me to cover this momentous occasion, you have outdone yourselves and I'm sure the next one would be even greater! Cheers to Sir Ben Chan, Bench and Suyen Corporation for making this big THANK YOU for everyone who supported BENCH throughout the years!

I fervently hope that in some way I was able to make you guys feel that you were part of the celebration of BENCH, hope you feel that you were there on the runway enjoying the show with me and thousands who came to witness it! It was an awesome show, just stay tuned for more coverages of BENCH only in KUMAGCOW.COM Men's Lifestyle Redefined!
