 The Mustang brand of jeans has issued a twin set of fragrances for her and for him. "I just wear Mustang" is the catchy slogan for the ad.
Mustang Woman, a fruity floral perfume, has head notes of pear, grapefruit, rhubarb, and red berries. Heart notes are rose, sweet pea, and ylang ylang. Base notes are sandalwood, cedarwood, moss, and musk. Mustang Man, a fresh and aromatic fragrance, includes top notes of cardamom, bay leaf, bergamot, and lavender. Heart notes are comprised of green notes and nutmeg. Base notes are cedar, Gaiac wood, musk, and amber. Both fragrances will launch from mid-September 2006. Source: Cosmoty.de
 • There is, or rather there will be tomorrow, both a humorous and illuminating article on celebrity fragrances in The Guardian of August 23 2006. Roja Dove shares his thoughts with Laura Barton on the trend as well as reviews several of those perfumes, including the new duo of fragrances, Intimately by Beckham: Naomi's is Hideous
"It was Matt Dillon who once observed that "When I go really far back in time, to the days when everyone was dying of cholera and syphilis and bubonic plague, I want nothing to do with those periods. I mean, nobody showered. That's why perfume became such a popular item." Dillon has yet to offer his explanation for the popularity of celebrity perfume, but the reasons are probably similar: such fragrances are an attempt to elevate ourselves above the great unwashed..."

 The French jeweller from Saint-Tropez, André Gas, just introduced his first fragrance in 2006. It is called Ensoleille-Moi (Cast Sunshine on Me, Bathe me in sunshine, literally). It was composed by perfumer Mathilde Laurent. This profane prayer to the sun-god is yet another take on a beach scent, this time centered on Monoï. In Maohi, monoï means "sacred oil". In this case, it is more particularly a reference to a popular brand of suntan oil in Europe called Monoï Tahiti, but the Gas perfume derived from it is more sophisticated and polished than the original fragrant oil itself in which a tiare flower is seen macerating in coconut oil contained in a glass bottle. The original oil smells great but is more simply structured.
As the summer wanes, a little too soon alas in New England, my appetite for summery aromas may already feel a little décalé and out-of-season but how could I resist the luscious notes? If you like tropical beach scents you will fall for this one; it is a very good quality, complex, and elegant beach fragrance. If you uncork its flacon in winter it will easily ressuscitate for you the best days of summer or of past sojourns in tropical countries. Top notes are bergamot and tiare, heart notes are ylang-ylang and coconut, base notes are vanilla and white musk...

We love perfume flacons and in this sense we are the children of 20th century perfumery as defined by François Coty. This innovative entrepreneur and perfumer was a man of instinct and vision as he helped define the perfume concept as a mass-marketable object of luxury in which the container played an equal aesthetic role to that which was contained in it. He once said, "a perfume should attract the eye as much as the nose." The adequacy between the two signalled to Coty a successful fragrance, that is a fragrance capable of becoming the focus of women's aspirations and desires, their very expression in fact, until then perhaps only confusely felt and dreamt about. This message of Coty's is famous but not necessarily ingrained, even today 102 years later, in people's mentalities. Many a perfume wearer today will still consider the juice itself to be more significant than its container. This is a perfectly acceptable proposition but it does not explore fully what beauty and luxury can be as fuller, more complete experiences...

Fashion Fragrances & Cosmetics is releasing its third reedition and adaptation of one of the classic fragrances in the catalogue of the former fashion house of Robert Piguet. This time, it is Baghari, named after the evocative exotic syllables of a city's name in India. The jus was introduced in 1950 and was the last fragrance created during couturier Robert Piguet's lifetime. Nose Aurélien Guichard of Givaudan rebalanced the scent. Like its predecessors, Fracas, a rich creamy tuberose soliflore and Bandit, an iconic leather chypre, it will come in the trademark art deco elegant Piguet black faceted glass bottle adorned with a transparent stopper (for the pure parfum)...

The house of Cerruti will launch Cerruti 1881 Black for Men in Europe from October 2006. It was conceived as a modern twist on the original Cerruti 1881. The scent was created by Michel Girard of Quest. The perfume is said to have been inspired by the balmy yet refined atmosphere of an Italian evening. "The top notes include black pepper combined with cotton lavender micro-absolute and bitter orange. The heart is a blend of Texan white cedar, nutmeg and fresh black cumin; the base features marzipan micro-absolute, plus guaiac and agar woods." Source: The Moodie Report
The new men's perfume by Yves Saint Laurent, L'Homme, is described as a masculine floral oriental. It aims to be an elegant mainstream yet sensual perfume. The face for the product is French actor Olivier Martinez.The fragrance was created by Pierre Wargnye, Anne Flipo, and Dominique Ropion. According to Wargnye, [It's] a contrast between some typical masculine notes and then an almost floating mystery of flowers [...] When you bring a touch of femininity to a very masculine scent, you increase its sensuality..."

As previously reported, Chandler Burr will start publishing a regular perfume column called "Scent Strip" in the New York Times' Style Magazine. Look for the first column this Sunday August 27 2006.  We now learn that Burr will be using a rating system ranging from 0 stars to 4 stars based on the restaurants' rating system. The fragrance author says, “I want to focus on the artistic aspect, the beauty and innovation of perfumery,” [...] “Perfumery is a fine art, a commercial art just like movies. Artists are behind the creation of movies and [movies] are systematically reviewed,” [...] “It will be a change for the [fragrance] industry to have criticism but I feel that in the long-run it will help the industry because consumers will be more interested in fragrance creation.” He also promises to be less than complacent, “I slaughter one [fragrance] in the second column and one in the third because they are without innovation, creativity and are not aesthetically beautiful, and I see nothing wrong with calling it like it is!” Source: Cosmetic News
After having puzzled over the simplicity of the prestige Baccarat edition, here is the Portieux crystal edition for M.A. Sillage de la Reine. I think that it is beautiful and wittier, if I may say so, than the Baccarat flacon. 1000 copies of it will be released in September 2006. You can already reserve a flacon through the Château de Versailles' website. This flacon or rather phial is inspired by objects having belonged to Marie-Antoinette, such as the bottles found in her travel case. It was created by Magali Sénéquier and Jerôme Dinand.The perfume box is covered with a grey pearl satin in reference to materials used in the 18th century and decorated with Marie-Antoinette's monogram traced in fine gold...
