Actress Angela Basset with Erica and John Paul Daluz from Stingray Spot Remover.
LOS ANGELES,CA (LA ELEMENTS) 1/15/2026 – “This is my fragrance line, L’Amour Mère that I started in honor of my mom, the actress Natalie Wood,” says Natasha Gregson Wagner. “Our signature scent is Natalie, it’s a gardenia-based scent with all kinds of citrus notes. C Love is named after my daughter Clover and the rose based. Lyublyu is our newest scent. It’s our unisex scent.”
Was gardenia your mother’s favorite scent?
“Yes. My mom wore a fragrance called “Jungle Gardenia.” It was made by this brand called Tuvaché which is an old brand that is not around anymore.”
What inspired you to create L’Amour Mére?
“When my daughter was born in 2012, I felt so incredibly moved by the experience of having my own child. I wanted to do something, like an act of gratitude for my mom. So, I worked on this fragrance for two years with a fragrance house in New York City and we created “Natalie.” This was in 2016 when we launched. And then I created, C Love, and we relaunched under the name L’Amour Mére in July. I have more than one fragrance now so it can’t be called “Natalie fragrance” anymore.”
So this whole line is basically a love letter to your mother?
Yes. And how the other fragrances were named is Lyublyu means love in Russian. My daughter’s name has love in her name. C Love, Clover.

An exclusive guest list deserves gift sponsors who will impress in their own unique way. Here are a few of the other outstanding brands present at this event.
“We started in 2014 in our garage,” says John Paul Daluz, co-owner with wife, Erica of Stingray Spot Remover. “We just moved to a warehouse in October because of the ‘Oprah Effect,’ says Erica Daluz.
The Oprah Effect?? In June of last year, Oprah Winfrey was waiting to see “The Picture of Dorian Gray” on Broadway, when she got a stain on her white pants from the Snickers bar that she was eating. Her costume manager immediately used Stingray Spot Remover and the stain instantly disappeared. Oprah posted a video of the incident which went viral and now the non-toxic Stingray Spot Remover is winning its own rave reviews.
Attendees had the chance to experience the creamy and dreamy sensation of LA’s own 28 Wishes Ice Cream Shop. Co-owner Jason Jiang explains the meaning behind the brand name. “We are called 28 Wishes because there are 28 flavors and because 28 is a lucky number in the Asian community. 28 is also the number of manifestations.”
We love it! Now for the vegan lovers are there any options? “We do have vegan organic in the sorbet,” says Jiang. “It’s made with organic strawberries. Our “Coffee Cookie Butter” is vegan too.”
The flavors are unique, uniquely delicious and get its coloring from natural sources. Ask for the Cookie Monster that gets its blue color from blue spirulina.
With awards season now in full swing, what could be more desirable than a dream getaway on the horizon? Luxury travel has long been a centerpiece of DPA events and their Golden Gift Suite was no exception. Winners and nominees will soon be taking off to Relais and Chateaux Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts in French Polynesia to experience private island living amidst the gorgeous aquamarine waters of the South Pacific.

Guests received gift packets of her medical-grade skincare line as well as the signature GLO2Facial. The GLO2Facial uses a patented technology called Oxfoliation that exfoliates the skin while increasing oxygen levels for a complexion that glows. A must-have for upcoming special events when you need to look your best.

Cookie Mallow is the handcrafted innovation of founder Eddie Yoo. Think of it as the cookie that thinks it’s a marshmallow. The K-Town based Cookie Mallow comes in a variety of flavors including Dubai chocolate mochi. We love the philosophy behind Cookie Mallow. “This is a small thing, but it makes you happy when you have a bite of it,” says Yoo.
We can report that things got a little spicy at the DPA Golden Gift Suite courtesy of Sloan Seasonings. And for this special event, they collabed with Eme’s Baked Goods to create a brownie with just the right amount of their signature spicy salt to amplify the rich chocolate flavor.
“Wearable art” is how of Anita Davenport of Single Tree Lane describes her collection. The dynamic designs emblazed with a multicultural flair, were gifted by the designer herself to guests of the Golden Suite.
Cheers to This Girl Walks Into A Bar for the refreshing cocktails served at this event. This line of organic mixers offered guests a choice from the following : a classic Margarita, a spicy Bloody Mary (our fave!) or a tangy Pineapple Mint Mojito. Everyone who attended this event went home with a full-size bottle of the mixer of their choice.
There’s a lot to like about this brand besides the outstanding flavors. “We’re so proud,” says This Girl Walks into a Bar co-founder, Amy Morgan. “We’re female-owned and operated. Even losing our home and part of our company in the Palisades fires a year ago, where we are now a year later, is incredible! Currently, our main focus is the mixer line.”
