                                   AZUREL LTD.


                1,000,000 Shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value
               1,000,000 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants

         Azurel Ltd. (the "Company") hereby offers 1,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and 1,000,000 redeemable
common stock purchase warrants (the "Redeemable Warrants" and together with the
Common Stock the "Securities") to the general public (hereinafter referred to as
the "Offering"). The Securities must be purchased on the basis of one Redeemable
Warrant for each share of Common Stock purchased and will be separately
transferable immediately upon issuance. Each Redeemable Warrant expires on
________, 2001, five years after the date of this Prospectus (the "Expiration
Date") and entitles the holder thereof, commencing one year from the date of
this Prospectus, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$______ [120% of initial public offering price of Common Stock] (the "Exercise
Price"), subject to adjustment in certain events. The Redeemable Warrants are
redeemable by the Company, at a price of $.10 per Redeemable Warrant, at any
time commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus and prior to the
Expiration Date, on 30 days prior written notice to the registered holders of
the Redeemable Warrants (the "Warrantholders"), provided that the closing bid
price per share of the Common Stock if traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market 
("NASDAQ"), or the last sales price per share if listed on a national exchange,
exceeds 150% of the Exercise Price for a period not less than 20 trading days in
any 30 day trading period ending not more than 15 days prior to the date of any
redemption notice. The Redeemable Warrants shall be exercisable until the close
of the business day preceding the date fixed for redemption. See "Underwriting"
and "Description of Securities-Redeemable Warrants."

         Prior to this Offering, no public market for the Securities has
existed, and no assurance can be given that any market for such Securities will
develop or be sustained on completion of the Offering. The offering price for
the shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants, and the Exercise Price of
the Redeemable Warrants, have been determined by negotiations between the
Company and Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., the underwriter of this
Offering (the "Underwriter"), and are not necessarily related to the Company's
asset value, earnings, net worth or any established criteria of value. The 
anticipated offering price of the Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants is 
expected to be between $4.00 and $5.00 and $.10, respectively. The Company
intends to apply to NASDAQ for inclusion of the Securities for trading. The 
proposed trading symbols for the Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants are AZUR 
and AZURW, respectively.  See "Underwriting."

DEGREE OF RISK AND IMMEDIATE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION AND SHOULD BE
PURCHASED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE
INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.  PURCHASERS SHOULD CAREFULLY

develops cosmetic products formulae for customers according to their specific
requirements. The laboratory also develops and maintains a library of cosmetic
product formulae for use by customers who have not developed their own formulae
for a specific product. See "Business - Products and Services."

         The first Branded Product the Company has developed and commenced
marketing is an original unisex fragrance and related grooming products under
the Sports Extreme USA(TM) trade name. Presently, the Sports Extreme USA(TM)
line consists of a unisex fragrance, bath and shower gel, muscle and body
relaxer and face moisturizer containing sunscreen and alphahydroxy fruit acids.
The marketing of the Sports Extreme USA(TM) line will feature "extreme" sports
such as ice climbing, bungee jumping, sky surfing and mountain biking. The
Company anticipates retail sales of this line to commence in the spring of 1997.

         The Company is also in the process of developing cosmetics, fragrances
and related products for sale under the Members Only trade name in the United
States and certain other countries pursuant to a license agreement with the
owner of the Members Only trade name. The Members Only trade name is presently
used on clothing and a wide variety of other goods and has been successfully
marketed in the United States. The Company anticipates that retail sales of the
Members Only line will commence in the spring of 1997. See "Business - Products
and Services."

         The Company expects that it will sell Branded Products directly to
retail outlets in the United States, and to international distribution
companies. As a complement to its marketing of Branded Products, the Company,
through its Scent 123 subsidiary, intends to sell Distributed Fragrances
directly to the consumer, initially by overnight delivery, through toll-free
telephone numbers. The Company has commenced locating sources of supply,
developing concepts, logos, designs and advertising campaigns, and engaging in
other activities preliminary to the commencement of the sale of Distributed
Fragrances. See "Business - Products and Services" and "Certain Transactions."

                                          of risk and immediate substantial
                                          dilution and should not be purchased

                                  RISK FACTORS

         THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND SHOULD BE
PURCHASED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE
COMPANY. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK
FACTORS, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

         Lack of History Upon Which to Evaluate the Company. Although the
Company was organized in June 1995, it only recently (i) has commenced marketing
certain of its proposed products, (ii) acquired the companies comprising its
Private Label Group and (iii) acquired certain assets related to the Scent 123's
operations. The financial statements of the Private Label Group for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 (unaudited) included elsewhere in this Prospectus reflect the results of
operations under prior management and not under the management of the Company.
Therefore, the financial statements cannot be used by prospective investors to
evaluate the ability of the Company's management to operate the Company's
business. Accordingly, the Company's prospects must be considered in light of
the risks, expenses, problems and difficulties frequently encountered in the
establishment of a new business in an industry characterized by intense
competition and changing consumer preferences, as well as in the
commercialization and marketing of new products. See "Business" and Azurel's 
financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this
Prospectus.

         Dependency Upon Integration of Acquired Operations; History of Losses;
No Assurance of Profitability. The business of the Private Label Group, acquired
in August 1996, currently represents a substantial portion of the assets and
revenue of the Company. The success of the Company substantially depends upon
the successful integration of the Private Label Group into the Company's
operations. Moreover, while the Private Label Group has been in business for
more than 49 years, and its current management is remaining with the Company, it
has operated at a loss for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to integrate successfully the business of the Private Label Group
into the Company, or operate the remainder of the Company's business profitably.
See "Business - The Company" and Private Label Group financial statements and
the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

         Going Concern Qualification in Certified Public Accountant's Report.
Both Azurel and the Private Label Group incurred significant net losses for each
of the fiscal periods included in this Prospectus. In addition, the Private
Label Group, as of June 30, 1996, had a deficit in stockholders equity of
$1,063,594 and the Company, as at such date on a pro forma basis prior to pro
forma adjustments, had a stockholders equity of $232,489. In connection with the
audit of Azurel's and Private Label Group's respective financial statements
as of December 31, 1995, the Company has received a report from its independent
certified public accountants, Feldman Radin & Co., P.C., which includes a going
concern qualification in its opinion. See



                                       11





"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and Azurel's and the Private Label Group's financial statements
and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

         Possible Need for Additional Financing. The Company expects that cash
flow from operations, together with the net proceeds of this Offering, will fund
its cash requirements for at least 12 months following the consummation of the
Offering. However, additional financing may be required in the event that the
Company incurs operating losses in the future or operations do not generate
sufficient funds. Because there can be no assurance that adequate additional
financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, the
Company may be forced to limit or discontinue its existing or planned
operations. Any future financings that involve the sale of the Company's equity
securities may result in dilution to the then current stockholders. See "Use of
Proceeds."

         Possible Inability to Meet Substantial Debt Service. The principal
amount of the Private Label Group's indebtedness as of June 30, 1996 is
approximately $4,715,000. Consequently, a significant portion of the Company's
cash flow will be used to pay the principal and interest on such indebtedness.
It is unlikely that the Company can meet its debt service and other cash
requirements if the Private Label Group's operations are not profitable, in
which case the Company may require alternative financing. There can be no
assurance that alternative financing will be available to the Company on
acceptable terms, if at all. See "Certain Transactions."

         Secured Loans - Existence of Liens on All of Private Label Group's
Assets. All of the Private Label Group's assets have been pledged to secure
certain indebtedness. In the event that the Private Label Group defaults on
payment of its obligations, including the making of required payments of
principal and interest, the Private Label Group's indebtedness could be
accelerated and, in certain cases, the Private Label Group's assets could be
subject to foreclosure. Moreover, to the extent that the Private Label Group's
assets continue to be pledged to secure outstanding indebtedness, such assets
will remain unavailable to secure additional debt financing. Such unavailability
may adversely affect the Company's ability to borrow in the future. See "Certain
Transactions."

         Uncertainty of Market Acceptance of Branded Products; Dependence on
Marketing Efforts. The Company has not yet commenced significant marketing
activities for its Branded Products and has limited financial, personnel and
other resources to undertake marketing such activities. Moreover, the market for
fragrances, cosmetics and beauty products is sensitive to changing consumer
preferences and demand. Achieving successful market acceptance for Branded
Products will require substantial marketing efforts and expenditure of
significant funds to create consumer awareness and demand. Considering the
Company's limited financial resources, it will not be able to utilize various
promotional techniques used by competitors but will be able only to engage in
limited promotional and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the
Company will have sufficient funds or other resources to achieve successful



                                       12





market acceptance of its Branded Products or make sufficient sales to achieve
profitability.  See "Business - Products and Services."

         Dependency Upon License Agreements for Branded Products. The Company's
ability to develop cosmetic, skin care and fragrance lines for other companies
under brand names licensed to the Company is dependent upon the Company's
ability to obtain new licenses and retain its existing license of the Members
Only trade name. The Company's current license of the Members Only trade name
expires on September 30, 2001, subject to certain conditions, including the
requirement that the Company achieve certain minimum sales of the Members Only
fragrances, grooming products and cosmetics. There can be no assurance that the
Company will have the ability to satisfy all of its obligations under the
Members Only license agreement, that such license agreement will be renewed or
result in profitable operations or that the Company will be able to obtain
additional license agreements on favorable terms, if at all. The failure to
retain the Members Only license agreement or to obtain new license agreements
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business related to the
Branded Products. See "Business - Products and Services."

         Marketing Uncertainties Related to Distributed Fragrances. The
Company's ability to market the Distributed Fragrances will depend upon various
factors, many of which are not within the control of the Company. These factors
include, but are not limited to, (i) consumer acceptance of the Company's
marketing concept for the Distributed Fragrances, (ii) the economic climate,
(iii) government regulations concerning the shipment of fragrances, (iv) the
availability of sources of supply of the fragrances and (v) the successful
performance of the Company's advertising and fulfillment firms engaged to assist
the Company in selling the Distributed Fragrances. See "Business - Products and
Services."

         Dependence Upon Obtaining Sources of Supply for Distributed Fragrances.
The Company's success in selling the Distributed Fragrances depends upon
obtaining an adequate supply of fragrances in order to maintain an appropriate
inventory, and to ensure that such inventory is readily available to its
customers. The Company does not expect to enter into supply agreements with
fragrance manufacturers; but rather, it expects to purchase fragrances from
manufacturers and others on an "as-needed" basis. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to acquire such inventory, in which case the Company's
expansion into this market would be adversely affected. See "Business - Products
and Services."

         Competition. All aspects of the cosmetic, fragrance and skin care
industry are subject to intense competition throughout the world. In all
aspects of its business, the Company will compete with numerous companies, many
of which are better known in the industry and have established channels of
distribution and substantially all of which have greater financial and other
resources than the Company.

         In selling the Branded Products, the Company will compete against
numerous companies, many of which have international reputations and broad
distribution channels in place. To date,



                                       13





the Company has (i) not sold any Branded Products, (ii) developed only one line
of Branded Products using a trade name developed by it and (iii) entered into
only one formal agreement with a third party regarding the marketing of
cosmetics and fragrances under a brand name owned by such third party. There can
be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop or market any Branded
Product.

         The Company expects to compete in the sale of the Distributed
Fragrances based on the implementation of its marketing concept, which includes
convenient, overnight order fulfillment. The Company's method of selling the
Distributed Fragrances is not proprietary in nature and may be replicated by
others. In addition, the Company's possible lack of exclusivity with suppliers
may allow such suppliers or other third parties to engage in the direct
marketing of fragrance brands including, but not limited to, the fragrance
brands offered by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in selling the Distributed Fragrances. See "Business -
Competition."

         Government Regulation. The Company's manufacturing activities and the
Facility are subject to extensive and rigorous governmental regulation
concerning the protection of the environment and the quality of manufacturing.
Federal, state and local regulatory agencies actively enforce these regulations
and conduct periodic inspections to determine compliance with such government
regulations. The Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") enforces regulations
regarding the quality of manufacturing ("Good Manufacturing Practices" or "GMP")
through periodic surveillances and audits. Failure to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements may result in fines, suspension of approvals, cessation
of distribution, product recalls and criminal prosecution, any of which would
have a material adverse effect on the Company. Changes in existing regulations,
the interpretation thereof, or adoption of new regulations could impose costly
new procedures for compliance, or prevent the Company from obtaining, or affect
the timing of, additional regulatory approvals.

         The Company's proposed method of distributing the Distributed
Fragrances may include shipment by air transportation. The shipment of
fragrances by air is subject to federal regulation and the rules and regulations
promulgated by the Department of Transportation's (the "DOT") Research & Special
Programs Administration. The DOT considers the shipment of alcohol, a component
in fragrances, to be the transportation of hazardous material. Scent 123
obtained a DOT exemption to transport hazardous material by overnight air
transportation. As long as Scent 123 has the DOT exemption, which is in effect
until November 30, 1997, and may thereafter be renewed upon application and
approval thereof, Scent 123 believes that its shipment of products will be in
compliance with current DOT regulations. Scent 123's loss of the DOT exemption
would have a material adverse effect on these business operations. There can be
no assurance that Scent 123 will retain the DOT exemption or that Scent 123 will
be able to comply with any future DOT regulations.

         The Company's sale of Distributed Fragrances is intended to utilize
toll-free telephone services. Toll-free telephone service is provided to users
by federally regulated common carrier



                                       14





telephone companies. The rates, terms and technical quality of this service are
subject to regulations promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC") and tariffs published by the telecommunications service provider. Except
for the sending of indecent, harassing or obscene messages or material, the
interstate sale of services or products by users of a toll-free telephone number
is not subject to direct federal regulation under the Communications Act of
1934. Fraudulent telephone messages are subject to criminal penalties under
federal and state laws. The Company does not believe that FCC regulations will
affect the proposed sale of Distributed Fragrances, but such regulations could
affect the price, terms, quality and availability of the toll-free telephone
services and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's sale of
Distributed Fragrances.

         Conflict of Interest in Acquisition of Assets of Scent Overnight, Inc.;
No Independent Appraisal of Value. The Company's Scent 123 subsidiary acquired
certain intangible assets from a company controlled by Gerard Semhon, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The purchase price
was arbitrarily determined between affiliates and was not determined by an
independent appraisal of the assets. The purchase price was not based upon any
recognized criteria of value and may have exceeded the fair market value of the
assets acquired. See "Certain Transactions."

         Dependence on Key Employees. The Company is dependent upon the
experience and abilities of its management, particularly, Gerard Semhon, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Constantine Bezas, President, and
Michael J. Assante, President of the Private Label Group. While the Company has
entered into employment agreements only with Messrs. Semhon and Assante, the
loss of the services of any of these or other key employees would have a
material adverse effect on the business, operations, and prospects of the
Company. The Company currently has no key-person life insurance on any of these
individuals. See "Business - Management."

         Lack of Control by Management.  The management of the Company does not
hold a majority of the voting power in the Company.  Therefore, the Company's
current management neither has control of any issue subject to a stockholder
vote nor the ability to control the election of the Board of Directors.  As a
result, there can be no assurance that the Company's current management will be
retained by the Board of Directors.  See "Principal Stockholders."

         Immediate Substantial Dilution. The Company's present stockholders
acquired their shares of Common Stock at costs substantially below the
anticipated offering price of the Common Stock to be sold in this Offering.
Therefore, upon the completion of this Offering, investors will incur immediate
and substantial dilution in the per share net tangible book value of their
Common Stock, estimated to be approximately $4.66 per share or approximately 93%
of the public offering price per share (allocating no value to the Redeemable
Warrants). See "Dilution."




                                       15





         No Dividends and None Anticipated. The Company has neither declared nor
paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock since its incorporation in June
1995, and the Board of Directors does not contemplate the payment of such
dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decisions regarding the payment of
dividends will depend on the Company's earnings, financial position and such
other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, certain
financing agreements and other documents executed in connection with the
acquisition of the Private Label Group prohibit the payment of dividends so long
as certain indebtedness is outstanding. See "Dividend Policy" and "Description
of Securities - Common Stock."

         Limitation on Directors' Liabilities under Delaware Law and Broad
Indemnification. Pursuant to Delaware Law and the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, directors of the Company are not liable for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty, except in connection with the following: (i) a breach
of duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) dividend payment or
stock repurchases illegal under Delaware law or (iv) any transaction from which
a director has derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Company's
By-laws require the Company to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and
agents under certain circumstances, including those under which indemnification
would otherwise be discretionary, and to advance expenses in proceedings in
which they could be indemnified. See "Management - Limitation on Directors' or
Officers' Liabilities and Indemnifications."

         Offering Price Arbitrarily Determined. The offering price of the
Securities has been determined by negotiation between the Company and the
Underwriter and is not necessarily related to the Company's assets, earnings,
book value or any other objective standard of value.

         Shares Eligible for Future Sale. The Company currently has 2,580,000
shares of Common Stock outstanding that are "restricted securities," as that
term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. In general,
under Rule 144, a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period may, under
certain circumstances, sell within any three month period a number of shares of
Common Stock that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume in such shares
during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under
certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity or other
limitation by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company and who has
satisfied a three-year holding period. All stockholders of the Company have
agreed not to publicly sell shares of the Company's Common Stock for a period of
between six months and two years from the date of this Prospectus without the
prior written consent of the Underwriter. Any substantial sale of restricted
securities under Rule 144 could have a significant adverse effect on the market
price of the Company's securities. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

         No Assurance of Public Market; Volatility of Stock Price. Prior to this
Offering there has been no market for any of the Securities. There can be no
assurance that a trading market will develop after this Offering for the
Securities or that, if developed, it will be sustained.



                                       16






         The stock market has, from time to time, experienced significant price
and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of
any particular company. Various factors and events, including future
announcements of new products by the Company or its competitors, developments or
disputes concerning, among other things, government regulations in the United
States, and economic and other external factors, as well as fluctuations in the
Company's financial results, could have a significant impact on the market price
of the Securities.

         NASDAQ Eligibility and Maintenance Requirements; Possible Delisting of
Securities. The Company has applied for listing of the Securities on NASDAQ. The
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has approved rules
imposing listing criteria for securities on NASDAQ, including maintenance
standards. In order to qualify for initial quotation of securities on NASDAQ, a
company, among other things, must have at least $4,000,000 in total assets,
$2,000,000 in stockholders' equity, $1,000,000 in market value of the public
float and minimum bid price of $3.00 per share. To maintain NASDAQ listing, a
company, among other things, must have at least $2,000,000 in assets and
$1,000,000 in capital and surplus and its stock must have a minimum bid price of
$1.00; provided, however, that a company shall not be required to maintain the
$1.00 per share minimum bid price if it maintains a public float of $1,000,000
and $2,000,000 in capital and surplus. If the Company is unable to satisfy the
NASDAQ maintenance criteria for listing, its Securities may be delisted from
NASDAQ. In such event, trading, if any, of the Securities would thereafter be
conducted in the over-the-counter market, the so-called "pink sheets," or the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s (the "NASD") "Electronic
Bulletin Board." As a consequence of such delisting, an investor would likely
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain quotations as to, the price
of the Securities.

         Penny Stock Regulation. In the event that the Company is unable to
satisfy NASDAQ's maintenance criteria requirements, or its Common Stock falls
below the minimum bid price of $3.00 per share for the initial quotation,
trading of the Securities would be conducted in the "pink sheets" or the NASD's
Electronic Bulletin Board. In the absence of the Common Stock being quoted on
NASDAQ or the Company's having $2,000,000 in stockholders' equity, trading of
the Common Stock would be covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for non-NASDAQ and
non-exchange listed securities. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend
such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors must make a special written suitability determination for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior
to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if the market price is at least
$5.00 per share.

         The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a "penny
stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share subject to certain
exceptions. Such exceptions include equity securities listed on NASDAQ and
equity securities issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at
least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than
three years, or



                                       17





(ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in
continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average revenue of at
least $6,000,000 for the preceding three years. Unless an exception is
available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction
involving a penny stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny
stock market and the risks associated therewith.

         If the Securities were to become subject to the regulations applicable
to penny stocks, the market liquidity for the Securities would be severely
affected, limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the securities and the
ability of purchasers in this Offering to sell their Securities in the secondary
market. There is no assurance that trading in the Securities will not be subject
to these or other regulations that would adversely affect the market for such
securities.

         Potential Adverse Effect of Redemption of Redeemable Warrants. The
Redeemable Warrants offered hereby are redeemable, in whole or in part, at a
price of $.10 per Redeemable Warrant (the "Redemption Price"), commencing one
year after the date of this Prospectus and prior to their expiration on the
fifth anniversary of this Prospectus provided that (i) prior notice of not less
than 30 days is given to the Warrantholders, (ii) the closing bid price of the
Company's Common Stock shall have exceeded $ per share [150% of Exercise Price]
for a period not less than 20 trading days in any 30 day trading period ending
not more than 15 days prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is
given, Warrantholders shall have exercise rights until the close of the business
day preceding the date fixed for redemption. Notice of redemption of the
Redeemable Warrants could force the holders to exercise the Redeemable Warrants
and pay the Exercise Price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to
do so, or to sell the Redeemable Warrants at the current market price when they
might otherwise wish to hold them, or to accept the Redemption Price, which may
be substantially less than the market value of the Redeemable Warrants at the
time of redemption. The Redeemable Warrants may not be exercised unless the
registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act, covering the underlying
shares of Common Stock is current and such shares have been qualified for sale,
or there is an exemption from applicable qualification requirements, under the
securities laws of the state of residence of the Warrantholder. Although the
Company does not presently intend to do so, the Company reserves the right to
call the Redeemable Warrants for redemption whether or not a current prospectus
is in effect or such underlying shares are not, or cannot be, registered in the
applicable states. Such restrictions could have the effect of preventing certain
Warrantholders from liquidating their Redeemable Warrants. See "Description of
Securities Warrants."

         Current Prospectus and State Blue Sky Registration Required to Exercise
Redeemable Warrants. Warrantholders have the right to exercise the Redeemable
Warrants for the purchase of shares of Common Stock only if a current prospectus
which will permit the purchase and sale of the Common Stock underlying the
Redeemable Warrants is then effective, but there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to do so. Although the Company intends to seek to qualify
for sale the shares of Common Stock underlying the Redeemable Warrants in those
states in which the Securities are to be offered, no assurance can be given that



                                       18





such qualification will occur. In addition, purchasers may buy Redeemable
Warrants in the aftermarket or may move to jurisdictions in which the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants are not so
registered or qualified during the period that the Redeemable Warrants are
exercisable. In such event, the Company would be unable to issue shares of
Common Stock to those persons desiring to exercise their Redeemable Warrants
unless and until the shares of Common Stock could be registered or qualified for
sale in the jurisdictions in which such purchasers reside, or an exemption to
such qualification exists or is granted in such jurisdiction. The Redeemable
Warrants may lose or be of no value if a prospectus covering the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof is not kept current or if such
underlying shares of Common Stock are not, or cannot be, registered in the
applicable states. See "Description of Securities - Redeemable Warrants."

         Relationship of Underwriter to Trading. The Underwriter may act as a
broker or dealer with respect to the purchase or sale of the Securities in the
over-the-counter market where they are expected to trade. The Underwriter also
has the right to act as the Company's exclusive agent in connection with any
future solicitation of Warrantholders to exercise their Redeemable Warrants.
Unless granted an exemption by the Commission from Rule 10b-6 under the Exchange
Act, the Underwriter will be prohibited from engaging in any market-making
activity or solicited brokerage activities with regard to the Securities during
the period beginning nine business days prior to the commencement of any such
solicitation and ending on the later of the termination of such solicitation
activity or the termination (by waiver or otherwise) of any right the
Underwriter may have to receive a fee for the exercise of the Redeemable
Warrants following such solicitation. As a result, the Underwriter and
solicitation broker/dealers may be unable to continue to make a market in the
Securities during certain periods while the exercise of Redeemable Warrants is
being solicited. Such a limitation, while in effect, could impair the liquidity
and market price of the Securities.

         Underwriter's Warrants and Registration Rights. In connection with this
Offering, the Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriter, for nominal
consideration, the Underwriter's Warrants which entitle the Underwriter to
purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 100,000 Redeemable
Warrants. The securities issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants
are identical to those offered pursuant to this Prospectus. The Underwriter's
Warrants are exercisable at a price of $___ per share and $___ per Redeemable
Warrant [150% of initial public offering price of Common Stock and Redeemable
Warrants] for a period of four years commencing one year from the date of this
Prospectus. The exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants and the Redeemable
Warrants contained in the Underwriter's Warrants may (i) dilute the value of the
shares of Common Stock to be acquired by holders of the Redeemable Warrants,
(ii) adversely affect the Company's ability to obtain equity capital and (iii)
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock if the Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants and the Redeemable
Warrants contained in the Underwriter's Warrants are sold in the public market.
The Underwriter has been granted certain "piggyback" and demand registration
rights for a period of five years from the date of this Prospectus with respect
to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly



                                       19





or indirectly issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants.  The
exercise of such rights could result in substantial expense to the Company.
See "Underwriting."

                                    DILUTION

         At June 30, 1996 the Company had a pro forma net tangible book value
(deficit) of approximately ($2,407,000) or ($.59) per share which includes
adjustments to reflect the transactions post June 30, 1996 as described in Note
4 of the "Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements."

         The net tangible book value subsequent to June 30, 1996 which gives
effect to the Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants offered hereby, and the
receipt of the net proceeds therefrom and assuming no value is allocated to the
Redeemable Warrants, the pro forma net tangible book value at June 30, 1996
would have been $1,697,000 or $.34 per share. This represents an immediate
increase in tangible book value of $.93 per share to existing stockholders,
which is due solely to the purchase of Common Stock by investors in this
Offering, and an immediate dilution of $4.66 per share to new investors (based
on an assumed offering price of $5.00 per share of Common Stock and $.10 per
Redeemable Warrant). "Dilution" is the difference between the initial public
offering price and the proforma net tangible book value per share.

         The following table illustrates the per share dilution to the new
investors as of June 30, 1996:

     Public offering price per share of Common Stock...................   $5.00

     Deficit net tangible book value per share before the
     Offering.................................................($.59)

         The following table summarizes the differences between the existing
stockholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of Common
Stock purchased from the Company, and the total consideration and the average

                                 CAPITALIZATION

         The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at
June 30, 1996 and such capitalization "As Adjusted" to reflect the issuance and
sale of the Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants offered hereby, the receipt of
the net proceeds of the Offering, approximately $4,100,000, and transactions

</FN>


         The foregoing represents the Company's current estimate of the
allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering based upon certain assumptions
relating to the costs associated with the implementation of the Company's
proposed business operations. Future events, including problems, delays,
expenses and complications frequently encountered by companies which seek to
introduce new products to existing or new markets as well as changes in economic
conditions, regulatory or competitive conditions, and the success of the
Company's marketing activities, may make shifts in the allocation of funds
necessary or desirable. There can be no assurance that the Company's estimates
will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen expenses will not be incurred.

         The Company believes that the net proceeds of this Offering will
satisfy the Company's capital requirements for at least twelve months. During
this period, the Company's efforts will be directed at developing and
implementing its proposed business operations.

         Prior to expenditure, the net proceeds of this Offering will be
invested in principally high grade short-term interest-bearing investments. Any
proceeds received upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option will be used for
working capital.

                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

         The Company has neither declared nor paid any dividends to its
stockholders since its inception and has no intention of declaring or paying any
dividends to its stockholders in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to
reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of its business. In
addition, certain financing agreements and other documents executed in
connection with the acquisition of the Private Label Group prohibit the payment
of dividends so long as certain indebtedness is outstanding. See "Certain
Transactions" and "Risk Factors - No Dividends and None Anticipated."

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


AZUREL

General

                  Azurel, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, manufactures,
markets and sells private label cosmetics, fragrances and skincare products.
Prior to the completion of the acquisitions of the subsidiaries, Azurel focused
its operations on negotiating and consummating such acquisitions and developing
and implementing marketing strategies for its Branded Products. The following
discussion relates to Azurel's operations prior to any acquisitions.

                  The discussion below for Azurel compares the 1996 Interim
Period to the 1995 Interim Period, as such terms are defined below. Because
Azurel was formed approximately one year ago, full year comparisons are not
possible. Considering Azurel's developmental stage, the comparison of Interim
Periods was deemed the most meaningful disclosure available.

Results of Operations

                  Six months ended June 30, 1996 (the "1996 Interim Period")
compared to the period of June 26, 1995 (inception) to December 31, 1995 (the
"1995 Interim Period")

                  There were no revenues in both the 1996 and the 1995 Interim
Periods, as Azurel's principal operating activities consisted of (i) performing
due diligence procedures regarding the planned acquisition of the Private Label
Group, (ii) developing various new product lines and (iii) refining the Scent
123 test market and national roll-out planned for the fall of 1997.

                  Although there were no revenues in the 1996 Interim Period,
Azurel solicited approximately $250,000 in sales orders, which Azurel
anticipates will be filled in the quarter ending December 31, 1996.

                  General and administrative expenses were $259,637 in the 1995
Interim Period, as compared to $415,651 in the 1996 Interim Period. This
represents an increase of $156,014 or approximately 60%, due partially to
increased consulting and professional fees. Consulting fees increased from
$183,038 in the 1995 Interim Period to $242,462 in the 1996 Interim Period, an
increase of $59,424 or approximately 32%. Consulting fees relate to services
provided to the Company regarding the development of its product lines. Such
expenses increased in the relevant time periods as a result of increased
activity in the development of product and marketing strategies. Professional
fees (including legal fees) increased from $1,750



                                       30





in the 1995 Interim Period to $34,546 in the 1996 Interim Period due services in
connection with the Company's expanded activities in the 1996 Interim Period.

         Interest expense increased from $17,559 in the 1995 Interim Period to
$317,584 in the 1996 Interim Period. This increase of $300,025 relates to
increased borrowings outstanding for a greater portion of the 1996 Interim
Period as compared to the 1995 Interim Period and to the amortization in the
1996 Interim Period of debt discounts in the aggregate amount of $163,162.
No such amortization existed for the 1995 Interim Period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

                  From inception to date, the Azurel's operations have been
funded by a combination of debt and equity financing.

         Debt Financing

                  Azurel borrowed an aggregate amount of $528,750 in the 1995
Interim Period and repaid an aggregate amount of $28,750 of such borrowings in
that period. (The various obligations are more fully described in the notes to
the financial statements). In the 1996 Interim Period, the Company borrowed an
additional aggregate amount of $460,000 from various lenders. Azurel offered
certain holders of outstanding promissory notes the right to convert their debt
into shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. In July and October 1996,
lenders with obligations totaling $667,494 (including principal and interest)
elected to convert such loans into 438,747 shares of Common Stock.

                  Azurel repaid loans aggregating $310,000 in the 1996 Interim
Period.

         Equity Financing

                  Azurel sold 750,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share
from February through July 1996. In the 1996 Interim Period, the Company had net
proceeds of $1,097,450 from the sale.

         Utilization of Proceeds

                  Proceeds of the aforementioned financing were utilized to (i)
finance operations from inception to date (approximately $551,000), (ii) advance
funds to the Private Label Group ($680,000), (iii) fund increases to other
assets, furniture and equipment and deferred registration costs ($143,238), (iv)
fund advances to certain stockholders ($184,480), (v) fund deferred finance
costs ($70,208) and (vi) enhance working capital at June 30, 1996 ($236,895).





                                       31




Going Concern

                  Azurel's financial statements have been presented on a basis
that it is a going concern. Due to significant losses incurred in the 1995 and
the 1996 Interim Periods, the accountants report has an explanatory paragraph
stating that the Azurel's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to
become profitable and obtain additional equity and/or debt financing of which no
assurance can be given.


THE PRIVATE LABEL GROUP

General

                  The Private Label Group develops, manufactures, packages and
sells cosmetics principally to major cosmetic companies for sale by each
customer under the customer's own brand name.

                  The following discussion and analysis should be read together
with the combined financial statements and notes thereto included herein.

Results of Operations

                  The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
percentage of net sales represented by certain items included in the combined
statements of operations.

                  Six months ended June 30, 1996 (the "1996 Interim Period")
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995 (the "1995 Interim Period")

                  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$1,225,269, or approximately 33%, from the comparable period of the 1995 Interim
Period. The increase is attributable primarily to an expansion of the Private
Label Group's customer base. In addition, a significant new customer provided
sales of approximately $339,000 in the 1996 Interim Period. Sales to the Private
Label Group's two largest customers in the six months ended June 30, 1996
accounted for 35.1% of net sales, as compared to 33% attributable to these same
two customers in the six months ended June 30, 1995. The largest customer in the
1996 Interim Period accounted for 22.6% of net sales in that period as compared
to 20% in the 1995 Interim Period.

                  Although the Private Label Group successfully obtained new
customers and increased sales to existing customers in the 1996 Interim Period,
there can be no assurance that the Private Label Group will continue to increase
its sales to such customers or obtain significant new customers in future
periods.

                  Cost of sales for the 1996 Interim Period were $4,018,000, or
80.9% of net sales, as compared to $2,935,000, or 78.5% of net sales for the
1995 Interim Period. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
is primarily attributable to changes in the Private Label Group's customer and
product mix, resulting in increased sales of products with slightly lower gross
profit margins.

                  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1996
Interim Period were $969,000 as compared to $902,000 for the comparable 1995
Interim Period, representing an increase of $67,000, or approximately 7.4%. As a
percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased from 24.1% in the 1995 Interim
Period to 19.5% in the current period. The decrease in this ratio is primarily
attributable to the increase in net sales discussed in the first paragraph
herein, resulting in an increased base to absorb these costs. Officers' salaries
increased by approximately $77,000 in the 1996 Interim Period as compared to the
1995 Interim Period. Commissions increased in the 1996 Interim Period by
approximately $25,000 as compared to the 1995 Interim Period. These increases
were offset somewhat by reduced professional fees in the 1996 Interim Period as
compared to the 1995 Interim Period in the amount of approximately $40,000.

                  Interest expenses increased from $89,973 in the 1995 Interim
Period to $113,320 in the 1996 Interim Period. This increase is attributable to
higher rates on increased borrowings under the Private Label Group's revolving
credit facility.

                  The Private Label Group recognized no income tax benefit in
either year as a result of the uncertainty regarding the realization of net
operating loss carryforward benefits.




                                       33




1995 Compared to 1994

                  Net sales for 1995 decreased by $1,331,353, or 13.7%, as
compared to 1994. The decrease is attributable primarily to restrictions imposed
by the Private Label Group's previous asset based lender, which reduced the
availability of inventory and adversely effected the Private Label Group's
ability to supply finished products to its customers. As a result of the Private
Label Group's refinancing its revolving credit facility in 1996 (see Note 8 to
the Private Label Group's financial statements), management believes that the
restrictions imposed under the previous agreement have been significantly
alleviated and product financing will not be a hindrance to order fulfillment in
subsequent periods.

                  Cost of sales for 1995 decreased by $1,022,263, or 13.4% from
1994. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased from 78.5% in 1994
to 78.8% in 1995. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is
attributable primarily to the allocation of the fixed costs associated with the
Private Label Group's manufacturing operations over a smaller revenue base.

                  Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1995
increased by $168,725, or 8.7%, from 1994. As a percentage of net sales, these
expenses increased from 19.9% in 1994 to 25.0% in 1995, because of the decrease
in sales discussed above. The increase in the dollar amount of these expenses is
attributable primarily to an increase in management personnel, selling and
promotional expenses and professional and consulting fees.

                  The Private Label Group recognized no income tax benefit in
either year as a result of the uncertainty regarding the realization of net
operating loss carryforward benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

                  In the 1996 Interim Period, the Private Label Group expended
$528,129 on operating activities. This is attributable to the loss from
operations in such period of $136,424, the payment of accrued litigation
settlement costs in the amount of $257,000, an increase in receivables in the
period amounting to $245,237, as well as a decline in payroll taxes payable,
offset by depreciation charges of $91,866. Cash utilized for the purchase of
equipment was $107,946.

                  The Private Label Group financed its operating and capital
expenditure requirements through additional borrowings from Azurel in the 1996
Interim Period ($500,000), as well as increased borrowings on its revolving
credit facility, which was renegotiated with a new lender during the 1996
Interim Period. The new credit facility provides for aggregate borrowings up to
$2,000,000, collateralized by substantially all of the Private Label Group's
assets and guaranteed by Azurel. Monthly installments of $10,150 are required
under this agreement and the remaining amount is due in February 1998. See
Azurel's Management's Discussion and Analysis for additional information.

Going Concern



                                       34






                  The Private Label Group's financial statements have been
presented on a basis that it is a going concern. Due to significant losses
incurred in 1995 and 1994, the accountants have an explanatory paragraph stating
that the Private Label Group's continued existence depends upon its ability to
become profitable and obtain additional equity and/or debt financing of which no
assurance can be given. Since the preparation of the financial statements, the
Private Label Group was acquired by Azurel.

                                    BUSINESS

         This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
such a difference include those discussed in "Risk Factors."


General

         Azurel Ltd. (the "Company" or "Azurel"), directly and through
wholly-owned subsidiaries, manufactures, markets and sells cosmetics, fragrances
and skin care products. The Company operates a manufacturing and filling
facility which sells cosmetics principally to major cosmetic companies for sale
by each customer under the customer's own brand name (commonly known as "private
label" sales). In order to take advantage of the Company's manufacturing
capabilities and product development expertise, the Company currently is
developing cosmetic, skin care and fragrance lines which it intends to market
under brand names created internally or owned by others and licensed to the
Company. In addition, the Company intends to sell well-recognized men's cologne
and women's fragrances directly to the consumer by overnight delivery through
toll-free telephone numbers.

Products and Services

         Virtually all of the Company's present business is conducted through
the Private Label Group. The Company's Private Label Group consists of four
subsidiaries acquired in August 1996 from Michael J. Assante ("Assante"). These
subsidiaries operate a cosmetic facility (the "Facility") which manufactures,
fills and packages a broad range of cosmetics. The Facility also includes a
laboratory which develops cosmetic products formulae for customers according to
their specific requirements. The laboratory also develops and maintains a
library of cosmetic product formulae for use by customers who have not developed
their own formulae for a specific product. The laboratory also performs quality
control functions for the Facility and is responsible for assuring compliance
with governmental regulations regarding the manufacture and packaging of
cosmetics including compliance with GMP. See "Certain Transactions" and
"Government Regulation."

         The Facility manufactures and fills a wide variety of cosmetics,
including body lotions and powders, lipsticks, mascara, eye shadows, eye liners,
skin care products and hair care products. Depending upon the customer's
requirements, the Company either provides some or all of the raw ingredients and
packaging for the customer's product or uses material provided directly by the
customer. A quantity of raw ingredients and packaging material is maintained in
inventory, but generally such materials are purchased by the Company to fill
specific orders. Presently, the Facility does not manufacture or fill fragrances
which require additional



                                       36





machinery nor does the Facility manufacture or fill nail products or liquid
soaps.

         Generally, a customer places an order for a quantity of merchandise to
be produced and shipped over a period of time, typically one to three months.
While the raw ingredients and packaging materials to produce an order are
generally readily available, for cash management purposes, the necessary raw
materials and packaging are ordered by the Company for receipt by it in stages
to coincide with the manufacturing/packaging cycle and the customer's delivery
requirements. In this way, the Company minimizes the need to maintain an
inventory of finished goods, and in effect, produces product only against the
order.

         Except for nail products, liquid soaps and fragrances, which it does
not manufacture or fill, the Facility does not limit its services to a
particular market niche within the cosmetic industry. It manufactures a wide
variety of high and low priced products sold in department, specialty and
discount stores. The Company believes that this diversity minimizes its exposure
to business cycles and changes in customer preferences over time.

         Since the manufacturing operation has been in business for over 49
years, the laboratory maintains a large library of formulae for a wide variety
of products. Moreover, the laboratory continuously develops new formulae based
on the Company's assessment of future product demand, changing consumer
preferences and the availability of new ingredients. The Company believes that
it can quickly and efficiently develop formulations for a customer's product by
using or adapting a formula from its library. When the Company develops a
formula for a customer's product, the Company, and not the customer, owns the
formula; however, since it is the Company's policy not to use the same formula
for different customers, customers generally continue purchasing from the
Company so long as they sell the product, do not change the formula or have
another laboratory replicate the product formula.

         In order to take advantage of the Company's manufacturing capabilities
and product development expertise, the Company currently is developing cosmetic,
skin care and fragrance lines which it intends to market under brand names
created internally or owned by others and licensed to the Company ("Branded
Products").

         The Company anticipates selling Branded Products in the United States
and internationally. In the United States, the Company expects to sell directly
to retail outlets that sell similar products, such as chain drug stores, mass
merchandisers and discount stores through its own sales personnel. Initially,
the Company's personnel, independent sales representatives or a combination of
the two will sell the Branded Products in the United States. Internationally,
the Company expects to sell to distribution companies having a major presence in
each major market.

         The first Branded Product the Company has developed, which it has
recently commenced marketing, is an original unisex fragrance line and related
grooming products under the Sports Extreme USA(TM) trade name. Presently, the
Sports Extreme USA(TM) line consists of a unisex



                                       37





fragrance, bath and shower gel ("Clean Up"), muscle and body relaxer ("Soothe")
and face moisturizer containing sunscreen and alphahydroxy fruit acids
("Protect"). The marketing of the Sports Extreme USA(TM) line will feature
"extreme" sports such as mountain climbing, ice climbing, bungee jumping, sky
surfing, in-line skating, snowboarding, snow bicycling and mountain biking. The
fragrance for the Sports Extreme USA(TM) line was developed for the Company by
Firmenich, a major developer of fragrances for the cosmetic industry. The
Company anticipates retail sales of this line to commence in the spring of 1997.

         The Company is also in the process of developing cosmetics, fragrances
and related products for sale under the Members Only trade name pursuant to a
license agreement with the owner of the Members Only trade name (the
"Licensor"). The Members Only trade name is a brand name used on men's outer
wear, active wear and a wide variety of other merchandise which has been
successfully marketed on television, radio and print media in the United States.

         The license agreement relating to the Members Only trade name grants
the Company the exclusive right in the United States, Canada, Great Britain,
Japan, Korea, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela and Argentina to manufacture and
distribute fragrances, grooming products and cosmetics under the Members Only
trade name (the "License"). Under certain circumstances, the Company may sell
Members Only cosmetics and fragrances in other countries except China and
Taiwan. The License expires on September 30, 2001, subject to the Company's
right to renew for an additional five year term subject to certain conditions,
including the requirement that the Company achieve certain minimum sales of the
licensed products. Under the License, the Company is to pay a royalty of five
percent of net sales, subject to minimum annual royalties which begin at
$100,000 for the period ending September 30, 1997 (16.5 months) and increase to
$375,000 for the last year of the initial term. The minimum royalty is payable
in installments during the applicable year. The Company's manufacture, sale and
promotion of Members Only fragrances, grooming products and cosmetics is subject
to the prior review and approval of the Licensor as is typical in similar
licenses.

         The fragrance for the Company's Members Only line was created for it by
International Flavors and Fragrances, Inc., a major fragrance manufacturer. The
Company anticipates that retail sales of the Members Only line will commence in
the spring of 1997.

         While the Company has had discussions with other companies, it has not
entered into any other formal agreements for the development of cosmetic and
fragrance lines under brand names owned by other companies. There can be no
assurance that the Company will market successfully any original cosmetic or
fragrance line, or that the Company will enter into any additional formal
agreements for the development of cosmetic and fragrance lines for other
companies either under brand names created internally or owned by others and
licensed to the Company.




                                       38





         As a complement to, and in expansion of, its marketing activities
relating to Branded Products, the Company, through its Scent 123 subsidiary,
intends to sell well-recognized men's cologne and women's fragrances directly to
the consumer, initially by overnight delivery. These products are sometimes
referred to as Distributed Fragrances. A customer will be able place an order
for the delivery of a Distributed Fragrance through toll-free telephone numbers.
The Company has secured "1-800-SCENT-123" and "1-888-SCENT-123" as its toll-free
telephone numbers.

         The Company has not yet secured any sources of supply for the
Distributed Fragrances. The Company believes it will be able to purchase a
majority of the Distributed Fragrances directly from fragrance manufacturers but
if it cannot do so, it believes other sources of supply are available. The
Company contemplates selling only a limited selection of sizes of the most
popular perfumes and colognes. From a fragrance manufacturer's perspective, the
Company believes that by not selling the full selection of fragrances, sizes and
related grooming products, it will offer a distribution channel complementing,
rather than competing with, the manufacturer's traditional distribution
channels.

         The Company plans to use independent order taking, order fulfillment,
warehousing and shipping services for the sale of the Distributed Fragrances.
Although the Company has not yet engaged any such firms, the Company believes
that there are many firms available that can provide these requisite services. A
portion of the assets acquired by the Company in the acquisition of Scent
Overnight included the results of the investigation, pricing and proposals of
such firms. The Company intends to use the results of this research to expedite
the commencement of the sale of the Distributed Fragrances. See "Certain
Transactions."

           The Company has engaged, and is working with, a communications and
marketing firm to assist it in concept development and creation of a logotype
and advertising materials. In the future, the Company may add other gift
products to its product offerings and may offer other forms of delivery.

Competition

         All aspects of the cosmetic, fragrance and skin care industry are
subject to intense competition throughout the world. In all aspects of its
business, the Company will compete with numerous companies, many of which are
better known in the industry and have established channels of distribution and
substantially all of which have greater financial and other resources than the
Company.

         The Company competes against approximately thirty companies in the
United States which manufacture and/or package cosmetic products for
third-parties. To a lesser degree, the Company competes with cosmetic companies
which have their own manufacturing facilities that can produce all, or a part,
of their own products. The Company believes that the primary elements of
competition in the private label manufacture of cosmetics are dependent upon the



                                       39





retail price point of the particular product. With respect to high priced
cosmetics and fragrances, the principal methods of competition are quality,
including consistency of the work performed, and reliability of meeting delivery
dates. With respect to low-priced products, the principal method of competition
is price. The Company believes that the Facility has a reputation in the
cosmetic industry as high quality, reliable source of manufacturing and
packaging cosmetics. It is the Company's belief that the availability of its
laboratory gives it a competitive advantage over those firms not having
laboratories to assist customers in the formulation of their products. The
Company also believes that its ability to produce a broad range of products for
sale at varying retail price points is beneficial in attracting and retaining
customers who would prefer all of their products to be produced by the same
manufacturer.

         In selling the Branded Products, the Company will compete against
numerous companies some of which are customers of the Private Label Group and
many of which have international reputations and broad distribution channels in
place. To date, the Company has not sold any Branded Products, and the Company
entered into only one formal agreement with a third party regarding the
marketing of cosmetics and fragrances under a brand name owned by such third
party.

         One of the primary methods of competition in the sale of Branded
Products is product awareness and consumer acceptance of the competing brands.
Achieving market acceptance may require substantial marketing efforts and
expenditure of significant funds. Since the Company has limited financial
resources, it will not be able to utilize various promotional techniques used by
its competitors. The Company, in order to compete successfully, intends to
market its Branded Products to niche markets such as chain drug stores, discount
stores and mass merchandisers and to develop Branded Products which it believes
will appeal to the customers of these retailers. The Company does not expect to
sell its Branded Products to prestige department stores and specialty retailers
where it believes its limited financial resources will put it at the greatest
competitive disadvantage. There can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully develop or market any Branded Product.

         The Company expects to compete successfully in the sale of the
Distributed Fragrances based on the implementation of its marketing concept,
including convenient overnight order fulfillment. However, the Company's method
of selling the Distributed Fragrances is not proprietary in nature and may be
replicated by others. In addition, the Company's possible lack of exclusivity
with suppliers may allow such suppliers or other third parties to engage in the
direct marketing of fragrance brands including, but not limited to, the
fragrance brands offered by the Company. Management knows of other companies
that currently market a fragrance line for direct delivery. In selling the
Distributed Fragrances, the Company also will compete directly with
well-established and widely-used companies in the flower-by-wire business, such
as Florist Transworld Delivery Association, as well as companies in the
gift-by-wire business. The Company's sale of the Distributed Fragrances also
expects to compete indirectly with retail stores and catalogues selling similar
fragrances. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
selling the Distributed Fragrances. See "Risk Factors - Competition."



                                       40






Government Regulation

         The Company's manufacturing activities and the Facility are subject to
extensive and rigorous governmental regulation relating to the protection of the
environment and the quality of manufacturing. Federal, state and local
regulatory agencies actively enforce these regulations and conduct periodic
inspections to determine compliance with such government regulations. The FDA
enforces regulations regarding GMP through periodic surveillances and audits.
Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements may result in fines,
suspension of approvals, cessation of distribution, product recalls and criminal
prosecution, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company believes that the Private Label Group has obtained all material
approvals, permits and licenses for its manufacturing activities. In the event
that the Company seeks to expand its operations to manufacture and fill
fragrances, the Company would have to obtain new or expanded governmental
permits. However, changes in existing regulations, the interpretation thereof,
or adoption of new regulations could impose costly new procedures for
compliance, or prevent the Company from obtaining, or affect the timing of,
additional regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that the Private
Label Group, if audited, will be found in compliance with GMP or environmental
regulations. The failure to comply with GMP or environmental regulations would
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

         The Company's proposed method of distributing the Distributed
Fragrances may include shipment by air transportation. The shipment of
fragrances by air is subject to federal regulation and the rules and regulations
promulgated by the DOT's Research & Special Programs Administration. The DOT
considers the shipment of alcohol, a component in fragrances, to be the
transportation of hazardous material. Scent 123 obtained a DOT exemption to
transport hazardous material by overnight air transportation. As long as Scent
123 has the DOT exemption, which is in effect until November 30, 1997, and may
thereafter be renewed upon application and approval thereof, Scent 123 believes
that its shipment of products will be in compliance with current DOT
regulations. Scent 123's loss of the DOT exemption would have a material
adverse effect on its business operations. There can be no assurance that Scent
123 will retain the DOT exemption or that Scent 123 will be able to comply with
any future DOT regulations.

         The Company's sale of Distributed Fragrances is intended to utilize
toll-free telephone services. Toll-free telephone service is provided to users
by federally regulated common carrier telephone companies. The rates, terms and
technical quality of this service are subject to regulations promulgated by the
FCC and tariffs published by the telecommunications service provider. Except for
the sending of indecent, harassing or obscene messages or material, the
interstate sale of services or products by users of a toll-free telephone number
is not subject to direct federal regulation under the Communications Act of
1934. Fraudulent telephone messages are subject to criminal penalties under
federal and state laws. The Company does not believe that FCC regulations will
affect the proposed sale of Distributed Fragrances, but such regulations could
affect the price, terms, quality and availability of the toll-free telephone
services and may



                                       41





have a material adverse effect on the Company.

         Various laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, and
other employment matters, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, are
also applicable to the Company. The Company believes it is in substantial
compliance with all material federal, state and local laws and regulations
regarding safe working conditions, and other employment matters.

Trademarks

         The Company has one United States registered trademark, Scent
Overnight(R), expiring on August 10, 2003, which was acquired in the acquisition
of Scent Overnight. The Company has filed applications for the registration of
trademarks for the "Scent 123" and Sports Extreme USA(TM) names, but no
registrations have yet been issued. See "Business" and "Certain Transactions."

         The right to use trademarks and trade names in connection with the sale
of the Branded Products is material to the Company's business. In cases where
the Company is the licensee of the trademark or trade name, the trademark or
trade name will be retained by the licensor. In such cases, the Company may be
subject to material claims of infringement by third-parties and may or may not
be indemnified by the licensor.

         The Company will be the owner of brand names developed by it and will
seek to establish protection of names. Notwithstanding such ownership,
third-parties may claim that such names infringe such third party's rights. Such
claims may seek to require the Company to cease use of the names as well as pay
monetary damages. At the time any such claim is brought, the Company may not
have the financial resources to defend against such claim. The cessation of the
use of any brand name used by the Company might have a material adverse effect
on it.

Major Customers

         Approximately 21% and 14% of the Company's revenues derived from
manufacturing activities was derived from two major customers for the year ended
December 31, 1995. For the year ended December 31, 1994, approximately 17% and
12% of the Company's revenue was derived from the same two major customers.

Employees

         The Company presently employs approximately 258 employees of which 253
are located at the Facility. Of the 253 employees located at the Facility, 43
are employed on a full-time basis and approximately 210 are employed on an
as-needed basis. The Company has regularly employed between 175 and 225
individuals on an as-needed basis for approximately 12 months and anticipates a
continued need for a minimum of 210 employees in order to maintain its



                                       42





current level of operations. Of the 253 employees located at the Facility, 224
are manufacturing personnel, 14 are laboratory personnel, three are executive
and administrative personnel and 12 are engaged in sales, marketing and customer
service. Certain employees located at the Facility are covered by a collective
bargaining agreement with Local #300-S, Affiliated with the Production Service
and Sales Distribution Council, Industrial Union Council which expires on
February 28, 1998.

         Of the five employees that are not located at the Facility, four are
executive officers that, prior to this Offering, were retained by the Company as
consultants. Prior to this Offering, the Company utilized the services of
independent contractors, on consulting basis, to perform certain functions and
may continue to do so in the future. The Company believes that there is an
available pool of persons and firms who could be hired or retained by the
Company when needed. The Company considers its relationships with both union and
non-union employees to be satisfactory.

Seasonality and Backlog

         The cosmetic and fragrance business in general is subject to seasonal
fluctuations, with net sales in the second half of the year substantially higher
than those in the first half as a result of increased demand by retailers in the
United States in anticipation of and during for the back-to-school, Thanksgiving
and Holiday seasons. The Company anticipates that the sales of Branded Products
and Distributed Fragrances will follow the general industry trend.

         Although the Company's manufacturing business, as a whole, is not
seasonal, its product mix is subject to seasonal variations. Since the gross
profit margins on various products differ, the backlog and results of operations
in any period are not necessarily indicative of the result for the fiscal year.
At June 30, 1996 the Private Label Group's backlog of orders believed by the
Company to be firm was approximately $3,500,000 and as at June 30, 1995 the
amount of such orders was approximately $3,200,000. The Company expects that
substantially all of the current backlog will be filled during the current
fiscal year. Since the Company's orders for manufacturing and filling are
generally for the delivery of merchandise over a period of time, backlog is
viewed as an important indication of future performance.

Properties

         The Company leases 2,400 square feet of space at 509 Madison Avenue,
New York, New York, which is used as its executive offices. The lease expires in
April 2001 and provides for an annual base rent of $74,000, including utilities.
These facilities are adequate for the Company's current needs and substitute
space is readily available.

         The Company's manufacturing and packaging plant and laboratory and the
Private Label Group's general and executive offices are located at a leased
155,000 square foot building in Fairlawn, New Jersey. The lease, expiring in
August 2002 provides for annual rent of



                                       43





approximately $500,000, including common charges and real estate taxes and is
subject to increase based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. In addition,
the Company is responsible for substantially all repairs to the building. The
Facility is presently operating at less than full capacity and is physically
adequate for the Company's present and foreseeable purposes. The Company expects
to continue to update the manufacturing and packaging equipment at the Facility
with more modern and automated equipment. See "Use of Proceeds."

Legal Proceedings

         The Company is not a party to any material legal proceeding, nor is it
aware of any pending or threatened claim of a material nature. The Company
anticipates that it will be subject to claims and suits in the ordinary course
of its business in the future. The Company believes that it will maintain
adequate insurance to cover such anticipated claims.

Employment Agreements

         The Company entered into a three year employment agreement, to become
effective on the date of this Prospectus, with Gerard Semhon, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, under which Mr. Semhon will
serve as a full-time employee and officer and receive an annual salary of
$95,000. The employment agreement entitles Mr. Semhon to participate in welfare
plans adopted by the Company and to enjoy medical, dental and disability
insurance benefits under policies obtained by the Company for such purposes. To
date, the Company has not instituted any employee welfare plans, nor has the
Company obtained any dental or disability insurance coverage for its employees.
Prior to the effectiveness of the employment agreement, Mr. Semhon served as a
consultant to the Company, receiving compensation of the rate of approximately
$95,000 per annum, plus expenses.

         In August 1996, the Company entered into a three year employment
agreement with Michael J. Assante under which he will serve as President of each
of the four companies that comprise the Private Label Group. Mr. Assante will
receive a base annual salary of $195,000 and his employment agreement is
renewable at his option for an additional two year period. Mr. Assante will
receive a bonus equal to 10% of the amount by which the Private Label Group's
annual profit, before interest and taxes but after depreciation and
amortization, exceeds $500,000 for each of the years ending December 31, 1997,
1998, and 1999.

Stock Option Plan

         Prior to the effective date of this Prospectus, the Board of Directors
adopted, and stockholders approved, the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the
"1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan provides for grants to officers and other employees
of the Company, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors and other
persons who may perform significant services on behalf of the Company and will
be administered by the Board of Directors if each member is a "Non-Employee
Director" within the meeting of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or a 
committee (the "Committee") of two or more directors, each of whom is
a Non-Employee Director. Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, options to acquire an
aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted subject to adjustment
as provided in the Plan. As of the date of this Prospectus, no options have been
granted pursuant to the 1996 Plan.

         The 1996 Plan authorizes the issuance of incentive stock options
("ISOs"), as defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code"), as amended, as well as non-qualified stock options ("NQSOs"). Only
"employees" (within the meaning of Section 3401(c) of the Code) of the Company
shall be eligible for the grant of Incentive Stock Options. The exercise price
of each ISO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock at the time of grant, except that in the case of a grant to an employee
who owns 10% or more of the then outstanding stock of the Company or a
subsidiary or parent of the Company (a "10% Stockholder"), the exercise price
shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
of grant. The exercise price of each NQSO is determined by the



                                       48





Committee, but shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise price of
any option granted on or after the effective date of the registration of any
class of equity security of the Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange
Act, and prior to six months after the termination of such registration, may be
no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of the grant.
The Committee shall provide, in the terms of each stock option agreement, when
the option subject to such agreement expires and becomes exercisable, but in no
event will an ISO granted under the 1996 Plan be exercisable after the 
expiration of ten years from the date it is granted. Options may not be
transferred during the lifetime of an option holder and is only exercisable
during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee or by his or her guardian or
legal representative. The 1996 Plan shall terminate automatically as of the 
close of business on the day preceding the 10th anniversary date of its 
adoption, subject to earlier termination.

         To the extent Fair Market Value of Common Stock with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder are exercisable for the first time by
an optionee in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such options granted shall be
treated as NQSO's to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code.

         If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed by reason of an
adjustment to the capitalization of the Company or as a result of a merger or
consolidation, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the
number and kind of shares as to which options may be granted.

         Subject to the provisions of the 1996 Plan, the Board of Directors or
the Committee has the authority to determine the individuals to whom stock
options are to be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option,
the exercise price, the type of option, the option period, the restrictions, if
any, on the exercise of the option, the terms for payment of the option price
and all other terms and provisions of such options (which need not be
identical). Payments by holders of options, upon exercise of an option, may be
made (as determined by the Committee) in cash or such other form of payment as
may be permitted under the 1996 Plan, including without limitation, by
promissory note or by delivery of shares of Common Stock.

Limitation on Directors' or Officers' Liabilities and Indemnifications

         Under Delaware law, and pursuant to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, Directors of the Company are not liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for
liability in connection with (i) a breach of duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) dividend payments or stock repurchased in violation of
Delaware law or (iv) any transaction in which a director has derived an improper
personal benefit.




                                       49





         In addition, the Company's By-laws include provisions indemnifying its
officers, directors and other persons against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with having served as officers,
directors or in other capacities, excluding matters in which such persons shall
be determined not to have acted in good faith, lawfully or in the best interests
of the Company. With respect to matters as to which the Company's officers and
directors and others are determined to be liable for misconduct or negligence in
the performance of their duties, the Company's By-laws provide for
indemnification only to the extent that the Company determines that such person
acted in good faith and in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the
Company.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         In June and September 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of
2,175,000 shares of Common Stock to twelve founders of the Company for aggregate
consideration of $2,175.

         In June 1995, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with ETR
& Associates, Inc. ("ETR") pursuant to which ETR provides general management
advisory services to the Company ("Consulting Agreement"). ETR is affiliated
with another company, Woodward Partners, which are sometimes referred to as the
"Consulting Group." The Consulting Group advises the Company's Board of
Directors on key policy decisions as requested by the Company. Pursuant to the
Consulting Agreement, in 1995 the Company issued an aggregate of 75,000 shares 
of Common Stock to the Consulting Group which have demand and "piggy-back" 
registration rights.

         In 1995 and 1996, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Common Stock to
Metco Investors, LLC ("Metco") for consulting services rendered to the Company
which have demand and "piggy-back" registration rights.

         In July 1995, the Company, as an accommodation maker for Messrs. Semhon
and Bezas, issued a promissory note of $28,750 to ETR. The proceeds of this loan
were paid to Messrs. Semhon and Bezas. The note plus accrued interest was repaid
by the Company in September and October 1995, and the repayment was treated as
an advance to stockholders. As additional consideration for this loan, ETR was
granted an option to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share,
which expires in July 2000.

         In September 1995, the Company issued a promissory note of $50,000 to
Bola Business Ltd. ("Bola"). The note accrued interest at 10% per annum and was
secured by an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Messrs.
Semhon and Bezas, officers and directors of the Company. The proceeds of this
loan were utilized for working capital.  As additional consideration for
the loan, the Company issued Bola 25,000 shares of Common Stock and granted Bola
the option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share, which
expires in September 2002. The note and accrued interest were repaid in April
1996.

         In October 1995, the Company issued a promissory note of $200,000 to
Tusany Investment and Trade, S.A., a founder and principal stockholder of the
Company ("Tusany"), which accrued interest at 10% per annum. The proceeds of
this loan were advanced to the Private Label Group as part of the Company's
obligation in connection with the acquisition of the Private Label Group. In
July 1996, Tusany converted the principal plus accrued interest due under the
note into 106,972 shares of Common Stock as part of a private placement
completed by the Company in July 1996 ("July 1996 Private Placement"). See
"Principal Stockholders."




                                       53





         In December 1995, the Company completed a $250,000 private placement of
units, each unit consisting of (i) the Company's 18 month 12% promissory note in
the original principal amount of $50,000 and (ii) 25,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock to eleven unaffiliated, accredited investors (the "1995 Private
Placement"). The Company received net proceeds of $210,000 (after deducting
expenses of $7,500 and commissions of $32,500 to the Underwriter for acting as
placement agent), which were used for working capital and to repay indebtedness.

         In January 1996, the Company issued a promissory note of $50,000 to a
principal of the Underwriter. The note and accrued interest, at 8% per annum,
was repaid in April and May 1996. The Company used the proceeds of this loan as
security for its non-recourse guarantee under an agreement ("Finova Agreement")
with the Private Label Group's lender, Finova Capital Corporation ("Finova").

         In January 1996, the Company issued a promissory note of $160,000 to
Metco. The note accrued interest at 10% per annum and was due, as to $100,000,
in February 1996, and, as to the remaining principal plus accrued interest, in
March 1996. In consideration for this loan, the Company issued Metco 25,000
shares of Common Stock and an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock
at $1.25 per share, which expires in January 1999. Additionally, the Company
issued 25,000 shares of Common Stock to Metco as a penalty for the Company's
late repayment of a portion of the loan. The note was repaid in February and May
1996. The Company used $10,000 of the proceeds of this loan for working capital
and $150,000 as security for its non-recourse guarantee under the
Finova Agreement.

         In February 1996, the Company completed a $250,000 private placement of
units, each unit consisting of (i) the Company's two month 12% promissory note
in the original principal amount of $50,000, and (ii) 25,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to three accredited investors, including Tusany
("February 1996 Private Placement"). The Company received net proceeds of
$210,000 (after deducting expenses of $7,500 and commissions of $32,500 to the
Underwriter for acting as placement agent). As part of the Company's obligation
in connection with the acquisition of the Private Label Group, the net proceeds
of the February 1996 Private Placement were advanced to the Private Label Group
to pay a portion of a jury award rendered in a legal proceeding against the
Private Label Group.

         In connection with the 1995 and February 1996 Private Placement, Gerard
Semhon, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, agreed
to indemnify the Company against any claims that may be asserted against the
Company by creditors of Dominion Associates, Inc. ("Dominion"), a company that
ceased operations in May 1995. Gerard Semhon, the Chief Executive Officer and a
Director of the Company, and Constantine Bezas, the President and a Director of
the Company, served as executive officers of Dominion.

         In February 1996, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock for
legal services rendered to the Company.



                                       54






         In July 1996, the Company completed the July 1996 Private Placement of
978,747 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share to seven accredited investors,
including Metco, Tusany and Michalaur International, a founder of the Company.
The Company received $1,314,950 of net proceeds (after deducting expenses of
$11,050 and commissions of $174,000 to the Underwriter for acting as the
placement agent). As part of the July 1996 Private Placement, certain
noteholders of the Company, including holders of notes issued in the 1995 and
February 1996 Private Placements converted an aggregate of $457,494 principal
amount and interest into Common Stock. The Company used the net proceeds of the
July 1996 Private Placement (i) to repay noteholders that did not convert their
indebtedness, (ii) to repay other indebtedness, (iii) for the purchase price of
and other fees related to the Private Label Group acquisition and (iv) for
working capital.

         In July 1996, the Company entered into a brokerage and consulting
agreement with V.A.N. Marketing Ltd. ("VAN"). Under the agreement, VAN is
entitled to a finder's fee of 2 1/2 percent of the purchase price of the Private
Label Group, 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and options to purchase
20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $ $4.80 per share, expiring in
July 1999. The finder's fee is payable as follows: $22,500 of the cash fee was
paid upon closing of the acquisition and the remaining balance is due one year
thereafter. Additionally, VAN will receive a monthly consulting fee of $3,000
for each of the first 12 months following the closing of the acquisition and
$5,000 for each of the next 12 months.

         On August 22, 1996, the Company purchased all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the four companies that comprise the Private Label
Group from Assante. The purchase price was $2,782,500, of which $125,000 was
paid in cash at the closing, $1,675,000 (which bears interest at 9% per annum)
was paid by the delivery of the Company's promissory note (the "Assante Note"),
and $850,000 will be paid promptly after the date of this Prospectus by the
issuance of Common Stock of the Company valued at the public offering price.
$150,000 of principal of the Assante Note plus interest, will be paid at the
earlier of January 1, 1997 or upon the date of this Offering and the balance
will be paid in approximately nine equal installments commencing 90 days after
the first payment and each six months thereafter. The Assante Note may be
prepaid without penalty at any time and is secured by a pledge of the purchased
stock. One half of the stock will be released from the pledge when one half of
the Assante Note is paid and the balance of the stock thereafter will be
released pro rata upon payments of the Assante Note. In addition to the purchase
price, the Company is obligated to pay Louis DiVita ("DiVita"), a former
shareholder of companies comprising the Private Label Group, an amount equal to
5% of the consideration Assante receives on the sale of the Private Label Group
stock. Therefore, at the closing, the Company paid DiVita $6,250, in cash,
issued a promissory note to DiVita in the original principal amount of $83,750
(the "DiVita Note") and upon completion of this Offering is to issue DiVita such
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as is valued at $42,500. The
terms of the DiVita Note are substantially identical to the terms of the Assante
Note. $7,500 of principal of the DiVita Note, plus interest, will be paid at the
earlier of January 1, 1997, or upon the closing of the Offering. In addition,
upon



                                       55





completion of this Offering, the Company is to issue Private Label Group's
counsel such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as is valued at
$7,500 as payment for legal services rendered to the Private Label Group in
connection with the acquisition. See "Use of Proceeds."

         As part of the redemption of the stock of the companies which comprise
the Private Label Group from DiVita (i) the companies owe the balance of the
redemption price ($390,830 as of June 30, 1996) which is payable in monthly
installments of $5,551.02 (inclusive of interest at 6% per annum) through
September 2003 and (ii) DiVita serves as a consultant to the Private Label Group
pursuant to a consulting agreement dated August 17, 1993. Mr. Divita provides
services relating to the computer system of the Private Label Group. The
agreement provides for a monthly consulting fee through August 2003.

         In connection with the acquisition of the Private Label Group, in
February 1996 the Company (i) secured a line of credit with Finova to replace
the Private Label Group's previous line of credit, (ii) pledged a $250,000
certificate of deposit as security for its non-recourse guarantee under the
Finova Agreement, and (iii) paid $250,000 of a jury award of approximately
$260,000 rendered in a legal proceeding against the Private Label Group. The
Finova Agreement prohibits the payment of dividends so long as certain
indebtedness is outstanding.

         As a condition, and on the closing, of the acquisition of the Private
Label Group, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Assante under
which he serves as President of each of the Private Label Group companies.
Assante receives a base annual salary of $195,000. Assante will receive a bonus
equal to 10% of the amount by which the Private Label Group's annual profit,
before interest and taxes but after depreciation and amortization, exceeds
$500,000 for each of the years ending December 31, 1997, 1998, and 1999. The
employment agreement is for three years and is renewable at his option for an
additional two year period. See "Management - Employment Agreements."

         Mr. Assante is the sole officer, director and shareholder of The
Contemporary Cosmetic Group, Inc. ("Contemporary"), a company that leases space
at the Facility from the Company. Mr. Assante is also the sole officer, director
and shareholder of Rubigo Cosmetics, Inc. ("Rubigo").  Both contemporary and
Rubigo are customers of The Private Label Group. Transactions between the
Company and Contemporary and Rubigo are on terms no less favorable than
transactions involving unaffiliated third parties.

         In October 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets of Scent
Overnight, a company of which Gerard Semhon, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board, is a majority stockholder for (i) $225,000
and (ii) the assumption of certain indebtedness totalling approximately
$210,000. The $225,000 plus interest at 9% per annum is due upon the
consummation of this Offering and is evidenced by the Company's promissory note
("Scent Note"). The assumed obligation is due to Liam Development Ltd. ("Liam")
pursuant to a promissory note made by Scent Overnight ("Liam Note"). In October
1995, the Company granted the right to convert the principal due under the Liam
Note into shares of the Company's



                                       56





Common Stock at $1.00 per share. Liam converted the principal due under the Liam
Note in October 1996. The Company intends to apply $268,500 of the proceeds of
this Offering to repay the Scent Note and the accrued interest due under the
Liam Note. Scent Overnight was formed by Mr. Semhon to engage in the Distributed
Fragrances business, however, in July 1994, it suspended its operations due to
lack of capital. Prior to the suspension of operations, Scent Overnight had 
conducted research into the availability of the resources necessary for the 
proposed business, such as locating order taking, order fulfillment, delivery 
and advertising services and sources of supply and developed a plan for the
operation of the business. This information was among the assets acquired by the
Company in the acquisition. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business - Trademarks."

         Between June 1995 and June 1996, the Company advanced an aggregate of
$184,480 to Messrs. Semhon and Bezas, officers and directors of the Company. Of
the $184,480, $48,130 is jointly and severally owed by Messrs. Semhon and Bezas,
$120,750 is owed by Mr. Semhon and $15,750 is owed by Mr. Bezas. The advances do
not bear interest and will be repaid immediately following the Offering.

         In October 1996, the Company completed a $300,000 private placement of
12 units, each unit consisting of (i) the Company's 12 month 10% promissory note
(each a "Bridge Note") and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 25,000 shares of
Common Stock (each a "Bridge Warrant") ("October 1996 Private Placement"). The
Company intends to repay the Bridge Notes out of the proceeds of this Offering.
The terms and conditions of the Bridge Warrants automatically convert to the
terms and conditions of the Redeemable Warrants offered in this Offering. The
Company received net proceeds of $270,000, after deducting commissions of
$30,000 to the Underwriter for acting as placement agent. The net proceeds of
the October 1996 Private Placement were used for expenses related to the
Offering and working capital. Three affiliated, and four unaffiliated,
accredited investors participated in the October 1996 Private Placement. See
"Selling Securityholders," "Description of Securities - Redeemable Warrants" and
"Use of Proceeds."






                                       57





                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         The following summary description of the Securities is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
and its By-laws, copies of which have been filed as Exhibits to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

Common Stock

         The Company's authorized capital consists of 10,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.001 par value per share. Holders of shares are entitled to one
vote per share of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders of the Company and to receive dividends when declared by the Board
of Directors from funds legally available therefor. Upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably in any assets available for distribution to
stockholders after payment of all obligations of the Company and after provision
has been made with respect to each class of stock, if any, having preference
over the Common Stock. Holders of shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative
voting rights or preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. See "Risk
Factors - Dividend Policy."

Redeemable Warrants

         Each Redeemable Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of
Common Stock at an exercise price of _________ per share [120% of the initial
public offering price] (the "Exercise Price"). The Redeemable Warrants are
exercisable commencing one year from the date of this Prospectus and expire five
years after the date of this Prospectus.

         The Redeemable Warrants will be issued pursuant to a warrant agreement
(the "Redeemable Warrant Agreement") among the Company, the Underwriter and the
warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"), and will be evidenced by warrant
certificates in registered form.

         The Exercise Price of the Redeemable Warrants and the number and kind
of shares of Common Stock or other securities and property issuable upon
exercise of the Redeemable Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances, including stock splits, dividends, or subdivisions, combinations
or recapitalizations of the Common Stock. Additionally, an adjustment will be
made upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in
order to enable Warrantholders to purchase the kind and number of shares of
stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable in such event
by a holder or the number of shares of Common Stock that might otherwise have
been purchased upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrant.

         The Redeemable Warrants do not confer upon the holder any voting or
any other rights of a stockholder of the Company.  Upon notice to the
Warrantholders, the Company has the



                                       58





right to reduce the exercise price or extend the expiration date of the
Redeemable Warrants.

         Redeemable Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Redeemable
Warrant certificate evidencing those Redeemable Warrants on or prior to the
respective expiration date (or earlier redemption date) of the Redeemable
Warrants at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the form of "Election to
Purchase" on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed
as indicated accompanied by payment of the full exercise price (by certified
check payable to the order of the warrant agent) for the number of Redeemable
Warrants being exercised.

         No Redeemable Warrant will be exercisable unless at the time of
exercise the Company has filed with the Commission a current prospectus covering
the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Redeemable
Warrant and the issuance of shares has been registered or qualified or is deemed
to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the
state of residence of the Warrantholder. The Company has undertaken to use its
best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Redeemable Warrant Agreement. While it
is the Company's intention to maintain a current prospectus, there can be no
assurance that it will be able to do so. See "Risk Factors - Current
Prospectus and State Blue Sky Registration Required to Exercise Redeemable
Warrants."

         No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Redeemable
Warrants. However, the Company will pay to that Warrantholder, in lieu of the
issuance of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable, an amount in
cash based on the market value of the Common Stock on the last trading day prior
to the exercise date.

         The Redeemable Warrants are redeemable by the Company at a price of
$.10 per Redeemable Warrant, commencing one year after the date of this
Prospectus and prior to their expiration, on 30 days prior written notice to the
registered holders of the Redeemable Warrants, provided the average closing bid
price per share of the Common Stock (if the Common Stock is then traded on a
national securities exchange or NASDAQ) for a period not less than 20 trading
days in any 30 day trading period, ending not more than 15 days prior to the
date of any redemption notice, exceeds at least 150% of the then Exercise Price.
The Redeemable Warrants shall be exercisable until the close of the business day
preceding the date fixed for redemption.
See "Underwriting."

Underwriter's Warrants

         See "Underwriting" for a description of the material terms of the
Underwriter's Warrants to be issued by the Company to the Underwriter upon
completion of the Offering.



                                       59






Reports to Stockholders

         The Company intends to furnish its stockholders with annual reports
containing audited financial statements and to make available such other
periodic reports as the Company may determine to be appropriate or as may be
required by law.

Application for Listing

         The Company has applied for listing of the Common Stock and Redeemable
Warrants on NASDAQ under the symbols "AZUR" and "AZURW," respectively. No
assurance can be given that such applications will be approved or that a trading
market for the Securities will develop.

Transfer Agent and Redeemable Warrant Agent

         The Company has appointed North American Transfer Co. as Transfer Agent
and Registrar for its Common Stock and Warrant Agent for its Redeemable
Warrants.


                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

         Upon sale of the Securities, the Company will have outstanding
5,058,747 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 Redeemable Warrants (5,208,747
shares of Common Stock, and 1,450,000 Redeemable Warrants if the Underwriter's
Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full). The Securities to be sold in this
Offering (assuming no exercise of the Underwriter's Over-Allotment Option) and
the 1,478,747 shares of Common Stock and 300,000 Redeemable Warrants registered
concurrently with this Prospectus being offered pursuant to the Selling
Securityholder Prospectus included in the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part, will be freely tradable subject to "lock-up" agreements
described below without restriction under the Securities Act, except for any
shares purchased by an "affiliate" of the Company (in general, a person who has
a control relationship with the Company), which shares will be subject to the
resale limitations of Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act ("Rule 144").
The remaining 2,580,000 shares are deemed to be "restricted securities," as that
term is defined under Rule 144, in that such shares were issued and sold by the
Company in private transactions not involving a public offering and are not
currently part of an effective registration. Except for the "lock-up" agreements
described below, such shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or will
become so eligible at various times through October, 1998. In addition, the
Company has granted the Underwriter demand and piggyback registration rights
with respect to the securities issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's
Warrants. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of
shares of Common Stock or even the availability of such shares for sale will
have on the market prices prevailing from time to time. If the holders of the
shares eligible for registration so choose they could require the Company to
register all of said shares at any time.



                                       60






         In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain
other conditions, a person, including an affiliate of the Company, who has
beneficially owned restricted shares of Common Stock for at least two years is
entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does
not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the
same class, or if the Common Stock is quoted on NASDAQ or a stock exchange, the
average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale.
A person who presently is not and who has not been an affiliate of the Company
for at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has
beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock for at least three years is
entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the volume
limitations described above.

         All of the Company's current stockholders have agreed not to sell or
otherwise dispose of their shares of Common Stock (the "Lock-Up") for a period
ranging from six months to two years following completion of the Offering
without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. Following expiration of
the Lock-Up, 2,580,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the Offering
will be available for immediate resale pursuant to Rule 144, subject to
compliance with affiliates of the Company with the volume limitations of Rule
144. Affiliates of the Company currently own an aggregate of 2,041,000 shares
Common Stock. See "Underwriting."

         Prior to this Offering, no market for the Securities existed. The
effect, if any, of public sales of the restricted shares of Common Stock or the
availability of such shares for future sale on prevailing market prices cannot
be predicted. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of
restricted shares may be resold in the public market may adversely affect
prevailing market prices for the shares and could impair the Company's ability
to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities.



                                       61





                                  UNDERWRITING

         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting
agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") between the Company and the
Underwriter, the Underwriter has agreed to purchase from the Company, on a "firm
commitment" basis, all of the Securities.

         The Underwriter has advised the Company that it proposes initially to
offer the Securities to the public at the initial public offering price set
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such
prices, less concessions not in excess of $___ per share of Common Stock and 
$___ per Redeemable Warrant.

         The Company has granted the Underwriter an option, exercisable during
the 30 calendar day period after the closing of the Offering, to purchase from
the Company at the initial public offering price less underwriting discounts and
the non-accountable expense allowance, up to an aggregate of 150,000 shares of
Common Stock and/or 150,000 Redeemable Warrants for the sole purpose of covering
over allotments, if any.

         The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter a non-accountable expense
allowance of 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, none of which has been
paid to date. Further, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Underwriter for
certain accountable expenses relating to the Offering.

         All of the Company's current stockholders have agreed not to sell or
otherwise dispose of any of their shares of Common Stock or shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of securities convertible into Common
Stock for a period ranging from six months to two years from the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. Notwithstanding
these lock-up agreements, such persons may make intra-family transfers. An
appropriate restrictive legend will be marked on the face of certificates
representing all such shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants. See
"Principal Stockholders."

         The Company has agreed, if requested by the Underwriter at any time
within three years after the date of closing of the Offering, to nominate and
use its best efforts to elect a designee of the Underwriter as a director of the
Company or, at the Underwriter's option, as a non-voting advisor to the
Company's Board of Directors. Such designee may be an officer, director,
partner, employee, affiliate of or consultant to the Underwriter. The person to
be designated by the Underwriter has not been identified to date.

         The Company has also agreed to retain the Underwriter, pursuant to a
financial advisory and investment banking agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"),
as the Company's financial consultant at a monthly rate of $2,000 for 24 months
commencing on the date of this Prospectus, all of which is payable at the
closing of the Offering. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the



                                       62





Underwriter will render certain financial advisory and investment banking
services to the Company, including advice as to the Company's financial public
relations, internal operations, corporate finance matters and other related
matters.

         In connection with this Offering, the Company has agreed to sell to the
Underwriter, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase from the Company
100,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 100,000 Redeemable Warrants (the
"Underwriter's Warrants"). The shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants
contained in the Underwriter's Warrants will be identical to the Securities
being offered hereby. The Underwriter's Warrants contain anti-dilution
provisions identical to the Redeemable Warrants that provide for adjustment of
the exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events. The Underwriter's
Warrants grant the holder certain registration rights applicable to the
securities issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants.

         During the term of the Underwriter's Warrants, the holders of the
Underwriter's Warrants are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the
market price of the Securities. To the extent that the Underwriter's Warrants
are exercised, dilution of the interests of the Company's then stockholders will
occur. Furthermore, the terms upon which the Company will be able to obtain
additional equity capital may be adversely affected since the holder of the
Underwriter's Warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when the
Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms
more favorable to the Company than to those provided in the Underwriter's
Warrants.

         The Underwriting Agreement provides for reciprocal indemnification
between the Company and the Underwriter against certain liabilities in
connection with the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus constitutes
a part, including liabilities under the Securities Act. To the extent this
section may purport to provide exculpation from possible liabilities arising
under the federal securities laws, the Company has been advised that it is the
opinion of the Commission that such indemnification is against public policy and
is therefore unenforceable.

         In addition, the Underwriting Agreement provides that for a period of
two years from the date of the Offering, the Company will not issue any shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or securities convertible into or
exercisable for Common Stock or Preferred Stock, without the prior written
consent of the Underwriter. However, the Company may issue securities (A) upon
(i) the exercise of any warrants or options outstanding as of the completion of
this Offering, and (ii) the exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants, (B) pursuant
to the Company's 1996 Plan, or (C) in connection with any merger or acquisition
of another entity by the Company.

         The foregoing is a summary of the principal terms of the Underwriting
Agreement, the Underwriter's Warrants, and the Advisory Agreement and does not
purport to be complete. Reference is made to the copies of the Underwriting
Agreement, the Underwriter's Warrant Agreement and the Advisory Agreement that
are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement



                                       63





of which this Prospectus constitutes a part.

         Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the
Securities offered hereby. Consequently, the initial public offering price of
the Securities and the exercise price and other terms of the Redeemable Warrants
have been determined by the Company and the Underwriter and are not necessarily
related to the Company's asset value, earnings, book value or other such
criteria of value. Factors considered in determining the initial public offering
price of the Securities and the exercise price of the Redeemable Warrants
include primarily the prospects for the industry in which the Company operates,
the Company's management, the general condition of the securities markets and
the demand for securities in similar industries.





                                       64





                      CONCURRENT REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

         Concurrently with this Offering, 1,478,747 shares of Common Stock (the
"Selling Securityholders' Shares"), 300,000 Warrants (the "Selling
Securityholders' Warrants") and 300,000 shares underlying the Selling
Securityholders' Warrants have been registered by the Company under the
Securities Act on behalf of certain of its securityholders (the "Selling
Securityholders"), pursuant to a Selling Securityholders' Prospectus included
within the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The
Selling Securityholders' Shares, the Selling Securityholders Warrants, and the
shares underlying the Selling Securityholders Warrants are not part of this
underwritten offering. All of the Selling Securityholders have agreed not to
sell or otherwise dispose of the Selling Securityholders' Shares and/or the
Selling Securityholders' Warrants for a period ranging from three months to two
years following completion of the Offering without the prior written consent of
the Underwriter. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale
of the Selling Securityholders' Shares, the Selling Securityholders' Warrants,
or the shares underlying the Selling Securityholders' Warrants, but will receive
proceeds from the exercise of the Selling Securityholders' Warrants.


                                  LEGAL MATTERS

         The validity of the Securities offered hereby and certain other legal
matters will be passed upon for the Company by Gersten, Savage, Kaplowitz &
Curtin, LLP, New York, N.Y. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the
Underwriter by Snow Becker Kraus P.C., New York, N.Y. Gersten, Savage, Kaplowitz

may so act in the future.

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Private Label Cosmetics, Inc. and affiliates 

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Private Label
Cosmetics, Inc. and affiliates as of December 31, 1995 and the related combined
statements of operations, changes in stockholders  deficit and cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Private Label Group's management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.  

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of Private Label
Cosmetics, Inc. and affiliates as of December 31, 1995 and the results of its
combined operations and its combined cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Private Label Cosmetics, Inc. and affiliates will continue as a going
concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the combined financial statements, the
Private Label Group incurred significant net losses for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.  Management s plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

              PRIVATE LABEL COSMETICS, INC. AND AFFILIATES
                 NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The combined  financial  statements  and the related  footnotes for the six
     months  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995 are  unaudited.  In the  opinion  of
     management, these financial statements include all adjustments,  consisting
     only of normal recurring adjustments,  necessary for a fair presentation of
     the  financial  statements.  The results of  operations  for the six months
     ended June 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of results that may be
     expected for the full year.


1.   BUSINESS

     Private Label Cosmetics, Inc. and affiliates (the "Private Label Group")
     are located in Fairlawn, New Jersey and manufacture cosmetics for sale to
     major cosmetic companies. In August 1996, Azurel Ltd. (the "Company") 
     purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Private 
     Label Group for a purchase price of $2,782,500 of which $131,250 in cash 
     was paid at closing, $1,758,750 was paid by the delivery of the Company's
     promissory notes (which bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum) and 
     $892,500 will be paid promptly after the closing of the initial public 
     offering by the issuance of common stock valued at the public offering 
     price. In addition, upon completion of the closing of the initial public 
     offering, the Company is to issue to Private Label Group's counsel such 
     number of shares of common stock as is valued at $7,500.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.   Principles of Combination - The combined financial statements include 
          the accounts of Private Label Cosmetics, Inc., P.L.C. Specialties, 
          Inc., Fashion Laboratories, Inc. and International Cosmetic Group, 
          Inc.  The accompanying financial statements of the Private Label 
          Group are combined as all entities are under common control.  Material
          intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the 
          combination.

     b.   Accounting  estimates - The  preparation  of financial  statements  in
          accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
          management to make  significant  estimates and assumptions that effect
          the  reporting  amount of assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
          financial  statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
          during the reported  period.  Actual  results  could differ from those
          estimates.

     c.   Inventories - Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
          Cost was determined using the average cost method.

     d.   Property and  equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost and
          is  depreciated  using the straight  line method over their  estimated
          useful  lives.   Capitalized   leases  are  stated  at  cost  and  are
          depreciated  using the straight line method over the lower of the life
          of the lease or its estimated useful life.






     e.   Income taxes - The Private Label Group accounts for income taxes 
          under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
          No. 109,  Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109"). SFAS No.109 
          requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for 
          both the expected impact of differences between the financial 
          statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the 
          expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax 
          credit carryforwards.  SFAS No. 109 additionally requires the
          establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of 
          realization of deferred tax assets.

     f.   Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amounts reported in
          the balance sheet for cash,  trade  receivables,  accounts payable and
          accrued  expenses  approximate  fair  value  based  on the  short-term
          maturity of these instruments.


3.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The Private  Label Group's financial  statements  have been  presented on a
     basis that it is a going concern,  which  contemplates  the  realization of
     assets  and  the  satisfaction  of  liabilities  in the  normal  course  of
     business. The Private Label Group intends to seek additional equity capital
     through an initial public offering to adequately fund  operations,  working
     capital needs and growth plans.

     The Private Label Group had incurred  significant  net losses for the years
     ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 which raises  substantial  doubt about its
     ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, continued existence is
     dependent  upon the Private Label Group's ability to become  profitable and
     to obtain additional equity capital, neither of which can be assured.


4.   INVENTORIES

      Inventories consist of the following:


                                               December 31,

     Additionally,  the Company on behalf of the Private  Label Group  deposited
     $250,000  with  Finova  as  collateral  for the  agreement.  The  financial

10.  ADVANCES BY AZUREL LTD.

     In October 1995, the Company  advanced the Private Label Group $180,000 for

     Group $250,000 for a lawsuit settlement and $250,000 as security for a loan
     (see Notes 8 and 14).


11.  INCOME TAXES

     The Private  Label Group  accounts  for income  taxes  under  Statement  of
     Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS
     No. 109"). SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
     liabilities  for  both the  expected  impact  of  differences  between  the
     financial  statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities,  and for the
     expected  future tax  benefit  to be  derived  from tax loss and tax credit
     carryforwards.  SFAS No. 109 additionally  requires the  establishment of a
     valuation allowance to reflect 






     the  likelihood of  realization of deferred tax assets.  At December 31,
     1995, the Private Label Group had net deferred tax assets of $620,000.  
     The Private Label Group has recorded a valuation allowance for the full 
     amount of the net deferred tax assets.

     The following table  illustrates the source and status of the Private Label
     Group's major deferred tax assets and (liabilities):

 
                                                


            Net operating loss carryforwar            $495,000

            Litigation accruals                         90,000

            Inventory allowance                         35,000

            Valuation allowance                       (620,000)


            Net deferred tax asset recorded          $    -




     The provision for income taxes  differs from the amount  computed  applying
     the  statutory  federal  income tax rate to income  before  income taxes as
     follows:






                                                              

                                                              December 31,
                                                           1995          1994
      Income tax benefit computed at statutory rate     $(180,000)   $(101,000)

      Tax benefit not recognized                          180,000      101,000

      Provision for income taxes (benefit)              $    -       $    -




     The  Private  Label  Group has net  operating  loss  carryforwards  for tax
     purposes  totaling  $1,413,000  at December 31, 1995  expiring in the years
     2008  to  2010.  Substantially  all of the  carryforwards  are  subject  to
     limitations on annual utilization because there are equity structure shifts
     or owner shifts  involving 5%  stockholders  (as these terms are defined in
     Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue  Code),  which have resulted in a more
     than 50% change in ownership.  The annual  limitation is based on the value
     of  the  Private  Label  Group  as of the  date  of  the  ownership  change
     multiplied by the applicable Federal Long Term Tax Exempt Bond Rate.

     from two major customers for the year ended December 31, 1995. For the year
     ended  December 31, 1994,  approximately  17% and 12% of the Private  Label
     Group's revenue was derived from the same two major customers.


14.  ACCRUED LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT

     A jury verdict  against the Private Label Group was entered on December 22,
     1995 in the net amount of $223,095,  together with prejudgment interest and
     costs of suit. Judgment  subsequently entered on such verdict in the amount
     of $257,000  including  costs and interest,  was satisfied on behalf of the
     Private Label Group in full in February 1996 with an advance by the Company
     of $250,000. The judgment of $257,000 was accrued at December 31, 1995.






                       INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Azurel Ltd.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Azurel Ltd. as of
December 31, 1995 and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders deficit and cash flows from June 26, 1995 (inception) through
December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Azurel Ltd. as of December
31, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows from June 26, 1995
(inception) through December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Azurel Ltd. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has incurred significant net losses which
raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

                               AZUREL LTD.
                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The  financial  statements  and footnotes for the six months ended June 30,
     1996  are  unaudited.  In  the  opinion  of  management,   these  financial
     statements  include all  adjustments,  consisting only of normal  recurring
     adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.
     The results of  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year.


1.   BUSINESS

     Azurel Ltd. (the  Company ) was incorporated in Delaware on June 26, 1995.
     The Company acquired a cosmetic manufacturing plant, Private Label 
     Cosmetics, Inc. and affiliates (the Private Label Group ) in August 1996.
     In July 1996, the Company formed a subsidiary, Scent 123, Inc. (Scent 
     123"). In October 1996, Scent 123 acquired the assets of Scent Overnight, 
     Inc. ( Scent ) an overnight delivery service of men s cologne and women's
     fragrances.  The Company will also market and develop original cosmetic 
     and fragrance lines.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

     a.   Accounting  estimates - The  preparation  of financial  statements  in
          accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
          management to make  significant  estimates and assumptions that effect
          the  reported  amounts  of assets and  liabilities  at the date of the
          financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
          during the reported  period.  Actual  results  could differ from those
          estimates.

     b.   Furniture  and  equipment - Furniture and equipment are stated at cost
          and  depreciated  using the  straight-line  method over the  estimated
          useful lives of the assets.

     c.   Deferred  registration  costs -  Deferred  registration  costs will be
          charged  against   additional  paid-in  capital  upon  the  successful
          completion of the Company's proposed public offering. In the event the
          offering is not completed, such costs will be charged to expense.

     d.   Deferred financing costs - Deferred financing costs will be charged to
          interest expense over the term of the respective loans.

     e.   Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amounts reported in
          the  balance  sheet  for  cash,  receivables,   and  accrued  expenses
          approximate  fair  value  based on the  short-term  maturity  of these
          instruments.





     f.   Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the
          provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,  
          Accounting for Income Taxes  (SFAS No. 109).  SFAS No. 109 requires 
          the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the 
          expected impact of differences between the financial statements and 
          tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax 
          benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards.
          SFAS No. 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation 
          allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax 
          assets.

     g.   Stock based compensation - The Company accounts for stock transactions
          in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,  Accounting For Stock Issued To
          Employees.   In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting 
          Standards No.123,  Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation,  the 
          Company intends to adopt the pro forma disclosure requirements of 
          Statement No. 123 in fiscal 1997.


3.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The Company's financial  statements  have been presented on a basis that it
     is a going concern,  which  contemplates  the realization of assets and the
     satisfaction  of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company
     intends  to seek  additional  equity  capital  through  an  initial  public
     offering to adequately  fund  operations,  working capital needs and growth
     plans.

     The  Company  had  incurred  significant  net  losses  from  June 26,  1995
     (inception)  through December 31, 1995 which raises substantial doubt about
     its  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  Accordingly,  continued
     existence is dependent upon the Company's ability to become  profitable and
     to obtain additional equity capital, neither of which can be assured.


4.   DUE FROM STOCKHOLDERS

     As of December  31, 1995,  the Company is owed  $92,380  from  stockholders
     representing short term non-interest bearing advances.


5.   DUE FROM THE PRIVATE LABEL GROUP

     In October 1995, the Company  advanced the Private Label Group $180,000 for
     working  capital.  In February 1996, the Company advanced the Private Label
     Group $250,000 for a lawsuit settlement and $250,000 as security for a loan
     (see Notes 10 b. and c.)






6.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     The following is a summary of long-term debt:

                                                                    1995

                                                                    709,850

<FN>

(a)  In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 the price 
     paid for the note payable and bridge financing has been allocated between 
     the equity and debt securities included in such units based upon their 
     relative estimated fair values. The difference between the face amount 
     and the allocated value of the debt has been recorded as a discount on the
     notes payable.  Such discount, totaling $150 at December 31, 1995, is
     being amortized as additional interest expense over the terms of the notes.
     In April and July 1996, the notes were repaid from the proceeds of the 
     sale of the Company's common stock ( common stock ) or converted into 
     common stock.  At that time, the remaining unamortized discount was
     immediately charged to expense.

9.   INCOME TAXES

     The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  under  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ( SFAS No. 109").
     SFAS  No.  109  requires  the   recognition  of  deferred  tax  assets  and
     liabilities  for  both the  expected  impact  of  differences  between  the
     financial  statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities,  and for the
     expected  future tax  benefit  to be  derived  from tax loss and tax credit
     carryforwards.  SFAS No. 109 additionally  requires the  establishment of a
     valuation  allowance to reflect the  likelihood of  realization of deferred
     tax assets.  At December 31, 1995,  the Company had net deferred tax assets
     of $100,000.  The Company has recorded a valuation  allowance  for the full
     amount of the net deferred tax assets.

     The  following  table  illustrates  the source and status of the  Company's
     major deferred tax assets and (liabilities):



      Net operating loss carryforward                     $ 100,000

      Valuation allowance                                  (100,000)

      Net deferred tax asset recorded                     $    -


     The provision for income taxes  differs from the amount  computed  applying
     the  statutory  federal  income tax rate to income  before  income taxes as
     follows:







                                                           December 31,
                                                              1995


           Income tax computed at statutory rate            $100,000

           Tax benefit not recognized                       (100,000)

           Provision for income taxes (benefit)             $   -


     The Company has net operating loss  carryforwards for tax purposes totaling
     $272,000 at December 31, 1995 expiring in the year 2010.  Substantially all
     of the  carryforwards  are  subject to  limitations  on annual  utilization
     because there are "equity structure shifts" or "owner  shifts"  involving 
     5% stockholders (as these terms are defined in Section 382 of the Internal
     Revenue  Code),  which have resulted in a more than 50% change in 
     ownership.

PROSPECTUS

                                   AZUREL LTD.
               1,478,747 Shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value
                300,000 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants

         This prospectus relates to 1,478,747 shares (the "Selling
Securityholders' Shares") of Common Stock, $.0001 par value per share (the
"Common Stock") of Azurel Ltd. (the "Company"), which are being offered for sale

also relates to 300,000 Redeemable Warrants (the "Selling Securityholders'
Warrants") and the 300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof
which are being offered for sale by certain Selling Warrantholders (the "Selling
Warrantholders"); the Selling Shareholders and Selling Warrantholders are
referred to collectively as the "Selling Securityholders." Each Redeemable
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $___ per
share for a period of _____ years commencing ____ years from the date of this
Prospectus. (The Selling Shareholders' Shares and Selling Warrantholders
Warrants are collectively referred to as the Securityholders' Securities). The
Selling Shareholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Selling
Securityholders' Shares for a period of between six (6) months and twenty-four
(24) months after the Effective Date without the prior written consent of the
Underwriter. The Selling Shareholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of any
such Securityholders' Shares. The Selling Warrantholders may not sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Selling Securityholders' Warrants for a period
of between three (3) months and twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date
without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. See "Selling
Securityholders and Plan of Distribution."

         The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of the
Selling Securityholders' Securities by the Selling Securityholders. The Company
is paying the expenses incurred in connection with the registration for sale of
the Selling Securityholders' Securities. The Selling Securityholders' Securities
may be offered from time to time by the Selling Securityholders, their pledges
and/or their donees (who will be identified in a prospectus supplement as
appropriate), through ordinary brokerage transactions in the over-the-counter
market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at
the time of sale at negotiated prices.

         The Selling Securityholders, their pledges and/or their donees, may be
deemed to be "Underwriters" as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). If any broker-dealers are used by the Selling
Securityholders, their pledgees and/or their donees, any commissions paid to
broker-dealers and, if broker-dealers purchase any Selling Securityholders'
Securities as principals, any profits received by such broker-dealers on the
resale of the Selling Securityholders' Securities may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In addition, any
profits realized by the Selling Securityholders, their pledgees and/or their
donees, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions. All costs, expenses and
fees in connection with the registration of the Selling Securityholders'
Securities will be borne by the Company except for any commission paid to






broker-dealers.

         The Selling Securityholders' Securities offered by the Prospectus may
be sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholders, their pledgees and/or
their donees. No underwriting arrangements have been entered into by the Selling
Securityholders. The distribution of the Selling Securityholders' Securities by
the Selling Securityholders, their pledgees and/or their donees, may be effected
in one or more transactions that may take place on the over-the-counter market,
including ordinary broker's transactions, privately-negotiated transactions or
through sales to one or more dealers for resale of such shares as principals, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Usual and customary or
specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling
Securityholders, their pledgees and/or their donees, in connections with sales
of the Selling Securityholders' Securities.

         On the date of this Prospectus, a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to an underwritten public offering of 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 Redeemable Warrants (without giving effect
to the Underwriters' over-allotment option to purchase an additional 150,000

Option") was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In

Company granted the Underwriter warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common
Stock and/or 100,000 Redeemable Warrants (the "Underwriter's Warrant").

             [Alternate Page for Selling Securityholder Prospectus]


                SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Company has issued an aggregate of 1,478,747 shares of Common Stock
to the Selling Securityholders and 300,000 Redeemable Warrants that are being
offered pursuant to this Prospectus. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital
Resources." The Selling Securityholders have advised the Company that sales of
the shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants may be effected form
time-to-time by themselves, their pledgees and/or their donees, in transactions
(which may include block transactions) in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Common Stock and
Redeemable Warrants, or a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices
that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at
negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders, their pledgees and/or their
donees, may effect such transactions by selling Common Stock and Redeemable
Warrants directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers that may act as agents
or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholder and/or the
purchasers of shares of Common Stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as
agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both.

         The Selling Securityholders, their pledgees and/or their donees, any
broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the shares of Common
Stock and Redeemable Warrants as principals may be deemed to be "Underwriters"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any commissions
received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares of Common Stock and
Redeemable Warrants as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts
and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders'
Securities being registered on behalf of the Selling Securityholders are
restricted securities while held by the Selling Securityholders and the resale
of such securities by the Selling Securityholders is subject to prospectus
delivery and other requirements of the Act. The Selling Securityholders, their
pledgees and/or their donees, may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or
broker-dealer who participates in transactions involving sale of the shares of
Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Company will not receive any
proceed from the sales of the Selling Securityholders' Shares by the Selling
Securityholders. Sales of the Selling Securityholders' Securities by the Selling
Securityholders, or even the potential of such sales, would likely have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Company's Securities.

         At the time a particular offer of the securities is made by or on
behalf of the Selling Securityholders, to the extent required, a prospectus
supplement will be distributed which will set forth the number of shares being
offered and the terms of the Offering, including the name or names of any
Underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any Underwriters for
shares purchased from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling
price to the public.

         Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and the regulations thereto, any person engaged in distribution of
Company securities offered by this






prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with
respect to Company securities during the applicable "cooling off" period prior
to the commencement of such distribution. In addition, and without limiting the
foregoing, the Selling Securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without
limitation, Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, in connection with transactions in the
shares, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the
Company's securities by the Selling Securityholders.

         The following table sets forth certain information with respect to
persons for whom the Company is registering the Selling Securityholders' Shares
for resale to the public. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from
the sale of the Selling Securityholders' Securities. Beneficial ownership of the
Selling Securityholders' Securities by such Selling Securityholders after the
Offering will depend on the number of Selling Securityholders' Securities sold
by each Selling Securityholder. The securities held by the Selling
Securityholders are restricted securities while held by such Selling
Securityholders and the resale of such securities by the Selling Securityholders
is subject to prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Act. The Selling
Securityholders' Securities offered by the Selling Securityholders are not being
underwritten by the Underwriter.

units in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, which

unit consisted of (i) the Company's 12 month 10% promissory note in the original
principal amount of $25,000, and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 25,000 shares
of Common Stock. The Company received net proceeds of $270,000 after deducting

connection with this private placement, the Company issued the securities

Item 28.          Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

   (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

   (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
 
   (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which individually or in the aggregate, represent a 
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that 
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the 
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

   (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material changes to such information in the registration statement:

   (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona 
fide offering thereof.

   (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at
the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to any charter provision, by-law contract
arrangements statute, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the 
information omitted from the from of prospectus filed as part of this 
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of 
prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 
497(h), under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of 
the time the Commission declared it effective.

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new 
registration statement at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those 
securities.
