Carlos & Deborah Santana Make Special NYC Stop on June 5 at Macy's Herald Square in Celebration of the New Men's Fragrance 'Carlos Santana'(TM)

Deborah Santana Will Also Sign Copies of the New Paperback Edition of Her Acclaimed Memoir Space Between The Stars

Starting June 1, the First 350 Customers Purchasing $55 or More of 'Carlos Santana' Receive a Pass for the Event; A Portion of Fragrance Sales Benefits the Milagro Foundation

NEW YORK, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Music icon Carlos Santana and his wife, author Deborah Santana, will make a special appearance at New York City's world famous Macy's Herald Square department store on Monday, June 5 from 12-2PM (151 W. 34th St.). The occasion is a celebration of the new men's fragrance "Carlos Santana,"(TM) a rich scent inspired by the music of Santana. Carlos and Deborah will be on hand to meet and greet with customers and fans and sign bottles of Carlos' self-titled fragrance. In addition, Ms. Santana will sign copies of the just published soft cover edition of her acclaimed memoir Space Between The Stars: My Journey To An Open Heart.

Beginning June 1, 2006, the first 350 customers making a "Carlos Santana" purchase of $55 or more receive passes to the event with Carlos and Deborah Santana, as well as a collectible, limited edition mini-guitar. A portion of all fragrance sales during this special Macy's Herald Square promotion -- taking place at the store's Main Floor Fragrance Arcade -- will benefit The Milagro Foundation, established by the Santanas in 1998. Milagro -- which means "miracle" -- supports non-profit organizations worldwide working with under-served youth in the areas of health, education and the arts. Milagro has granted over $2 million since its inception.

In honor of its namesake's legendary guitar artistry, "Carlos Santana"(TM) for Men comes in a handsome ruby bottle echoing the silhouette of a guitar. Like music, fragrance comes alive with an almost magical fusion of top, middle and bottom notes. Victory International's "Carlos Santana" powerfully extends that metaphor, evoking the passion and dynamic rhythms of Carlos' guitar with every burst of scent. Blending bergamot, lavender, apple, cedar wood patchouli, vanilla and more, it's an elegant expression of the art of fragrance and the universal power of Santana's music.

Deborah Santana's first book, Space Between The Stars: My Journey To An Open Heart, was released in paperback by Random House's One World/Ballantine Books imprint in April. The soft cover of the title, which she'll sign at Macy's, is expanded with a newly created personal discussion/reading group section prepared by Ms. Santana. Published in hardcover and audiobook editions in 2005, Santana's tale of personal metamorphosis, echoing with universal messages, prompted The Artist's Way at Work co-author Mark Bryan to write that the book highlights, "the power of the human spirit to prevail over the shadows of the human mind."

Next on the calendar for Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and 11X GRAMMY(R) winner Carlos Santana is induction into the Hollywood Bowl Hall Of Fame on June 23 at the gala "Opening Night At The Bowl," when he'll also perform at the legendary venue. On July 5, Carlos embarks on the remaining legs of Santana's 2006 World Tour, playing major dates in Europe, Japan and the United States through September.
