Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker {Perfume Short (Review)} {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrance}

Covet promised to reveal more freely the “vixen" side of Sarah Jessica Parker and since we know that Lovely (2005) had a toned-down musk that smacked of marketing compromise for the actress who usually loves her musk straight-up and dirty, we were expectant and holding our breath metaphorically speaking, awaiting something like a modern-day Bal à Versailles, a gift from the fragrance developers to SJP after her resounding success with Lovely in 2006. Instead what we get is yet another perfume in shackles and Covet is not even as pretty smelling as Lovely, which does not make it necessarily more interesting smelling.......

Estée Lauder Pleasures Delight {Perfume Short (Review)} {New Fragrance}

Estée Lauder Pleasures Delight is the latest twist on the original Pleasures introduced in 1995. This new perfume will be a permanent addition to the collection of Pleasures fragrances, which apart from the original also comprises Pleasures Intense (2002) and Pleasures Exotic (2004).

This time, the inspiration is indulgently and charmingly gourmand with sweet notes of whipped strawberry meringue, sugared rose petals, caramel, and fluffy marshmallow delicately folded into the fragrance. The scent is comforting, sheer, and very pretty, evoking the carefree atmosphere of a holiday spent by the sea in an elegant resort like Martha’s Vineyard eating Italian strawberry and vanilla ice-cream accented with a dash of patchouli added by a slightly eccentric new-cuisine local chef and accompanied preferably by a long drink of refreshing cool peony-scented water that is almost tea-like in its delicacy.......

Coleen X by Coleen McLoughlin {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrance}

As previously announced, British celebrity Coleen McLoughlin has now launched her signature perfume called in the end Coleen X. If ever proof was needed that celeb fragrances are more than other types of perfumes about image, image, image, here we have it. Already public conversations center more on the photoshopped image of the young woman on the advert than on her recent contribution to perfumery. In case anyone is interested the new perfume features a “top note of sweet orange with a heart of marine accords and patchouli and a base of vanilla, amber and musk” and was developed with Robertet.
