Singer Christina Aguilera signed a fragrance deal with Procter and Gamble. In 5 years, she is one of several celebrities to follow in J-Lo's footsteps (Please check our Celebrity Fragrance category for more info). She said " I love trying new things in my music and in fashion." [...] "To have a perfume of my own is the beginning of an exciting adventure." The new fragrance will be released later this year.

 Fragrances of the World/Parfums du Monde 2007 by Michael Edwards is out this month. This reference book is published annually; in this 23rd edition, Edwards undertakes a "preliminary analysis of the 2006 launches, compared to 2005 and 1996." Perfume launches have steadily increased since 1996; if there were 205 new fragrances in 1996, there were 545 new ones in 2005 and 693 in 2006. Niche fragrances, celebrity fragrances, limited editions, and flankers are categories in which more launches took place. Feminine fragrances are still vastly dominant, 451 launches against 190 masculine fragrances and 90 unisex ones.

J'Adore J'Adore -- An Article by Melanie Adrian Growing into a new scent was much like changing favourite colors or genres of music. Although a seemingly insignificant adjustment not perceptible to most, for me, the change in perfume marked an important shift in life.
I was in Paris, of all places, and happened by a Sephora store when I encountered The Scent. Quite an accident of fate, I happened to smell j’adore as I was generally perusing perfumes. Not because of the allure of the bottle – which still doesn’t seem like the most ingenious design idea (and is wholly unpractical for the traveler with its long neck whose top constantly comes off). It was the scent, pure and simple, that lured me: the strength of the floral without the lurid sweetness of the petals and its magnificent undertone, only darkening with time, that gives it both its independence and rebelliousness, strength and spontaneity.....

According to a study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, smells that are best able to trigger sexual arousal signals in men, researchers found out, are to be found in a combination of pumpkin and lavender scents. Next comes a combination of black licorice and doughnut. "On the other end, buttered popcorn only increased penile blood flow by 9 percent (but that could be because the guys were really trying to watch the movie). Cranberry got even less, with 2 percent."......

 Fresh has issued a fourth perfume variation on its sugared water theme. After Sugar, Sugar Lemon, Sugar Blossom, here comes Sugar Lychee. It is described as an exotic, both fresh and warm scent. It contains notes of grapefruit, Italian lemon and lime blossom, lychee, mango flower, freesia, sandalwood, Tonka bean, and amber. Source: Sephora
 The People Of The Labyrinths, the hip fashion brand from the Netherlands that created the cult perfume Luctor et Emergo will introduce a new perfume called A.Maze on the 20th of January 2007. It reportedly took them 5 years to create it (beating the already demanding 3 year time period it took to create Luctor & Emergo).....

 Rousse (russet, ginger, red-headed) is the silken and frothy-sounding name in French given to the upcoming spring 2007 perfume launch by designer Serge Lutens. It will be available from February in the export line. Like the rest of the collection, it is the result of an on-going collaboration between Serge Lutens and nose Christopher Sheldrake. It is said to be inspired by the finale of French pop singer Mylène Farmer's show "Avant que l'ombre" and the russet-colored couture dress she wore on that occasion made for her by Franck Sorbier.
Rousse contains notes of mandarine, cinnamon, carnation, cedar, sandalwood, violet, vanilline, amber, balsamic notes and more since it develops a Tiger Balm accord (like the recent Heeley Spirit of the Tiger)....

 Etat Libre d'Orange has issued two new perfumes, Vierges et Toreros (I keep writing "verges"; francophones will understand why the substitution is not irrelevant. It makes me associate with Les onze mille verges by Guillaume Apollinaire) created by Antoine Lie and Antoinne Maisondieu and Don't get Me Wrong Baby, I Don't Swallow (is this the first perfume......with a line as a name? We're all waiting for the flanker with the guy's response on it) created by Antoine Maisondieu......

 The Washington Post has published an article about the details of the creation or rather re-creation of M.A. Sillage de la Reine (please see my review of the fragrance), the perfume of Marie Antoinette, by Francis Kukrdjian, an enterprise conducted together with historian Elisabeth de Feydeau:
"When Francis Kurkdjian, one of France's premier perfumers, set out to re-create a fragrance of Marie Antoinette, his greatest fear was that it would stink. After all, he reasoned, the 21st-century nose might have little tolerance for the potent potions that the famous queen and her royal court used to mask the smells of their opulent but odiferous 18th-century environs at the Chateau de Versailles..... I just wanted to point out that although the article lays stress on the idea that Marie Antoinette wore heavy perfumes, she is also often credited for introducing a fashion for light or perhaps, if we were to be cautious, lighter floral perfumes given the cultural context of that time. Also, Marie Antoinette did not introduce bathrooms at Versailles. Louis XIV had already one built in 1665 although he preferred to use cologne rather than water to clean himself.

After announcing that Christina Aguilera was preparing to launch her signature fragrance, I realized that she had already participated in a fragrance creation previously. Her perfume, Xpose, was launched in 2004 and exclusively distributed in the European market. Interestingly enough, this fact was not mentioned in the recent press releases.
Have you tried it?
