suggestions and then tested, rejected, and praised. She created a company in her
hometown Bergisch Gladbach, co-developed the product logo herself and used her
name as the label. Finally the creation was finished: "Heidi Klum" -
an Eau de Toilette. A recent smell that the naturalness of its sect does not
underline too soft and not too heavy. It freshly and distinctively works. It
comes along only finely, increases with intensity and remains for a long time.
