 An interview with Gwen Stefani where she confides "I'm like every other woman. I'm super vain, I have issues." Thanks for the generalizing bit.....
And about her new perfume L, She's recently moved into handbags and launched a diffusion line, Harajuku Lovers. And what celebrity franchise is complete without a perfume? Her latest venture is a bespoke scent called L. 'I would never have done a fragrance as ce-leb-ri-tee ...' she maintains, tapping the syllables out on her tongue, 'just to do one for the sake of it. But because I have L.A.M.B. it's really the most milestone, prestigious kinda moment. Basically, you have an inspiration of a perfume that you like, whether it's a flower or a certain direction.'
Read more in The Guardian..... Another interview today with Céline Ellena, the daughter of celebrated Hermès in-house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena (who, rumor has it, is writing a book. We are not surprised; his interviews are some of the most interesting ones we have come across). She creates for the niche label The Different Company and has also composed a rose fragrance, Rose Divine, for the Isabel Derroisné brand........

According to Cosmétique Hebdo and as of July 2007, the French favor 3 top perfume sites. The number one French perfume site is Yves Rocher.fr, followed by Sephora.fr and Le Club des Créateurs de Beauté.
Lancôme will introduce a 6th perfume, Cuir (Leather), in the Lancôme Collection after Mille et Une Roses, Magie, Sikkim, Climat, and Sagamore. It is a re-edition of a perfume that was originally released in 1936 under the name Révolte, before being re-baptized Cuir in 1939 to de-politicize and soften its message......

Tuberose Gardenia Private Collection is the latest perfume launch by Estée Lauder. It was composed by perfumer Harry Fremont. The perfume is a personal homage on the part of the grand-daughter of the founder, Aerin Lauder, to her grand-mother Estée Lauder, to her sense of the rare and unique, but is also a strategic move in the current market context where more and more exclusive collections of scents are being released by houses wishing to demonstrate that they can be as niche and reveal as much discriminative taste as small perfume houses specializing in the creations of fragrances made with high quality ingredients. In the Estée Lauder context, one might also see this as going back to the roots of the company's history as well as constituting a subtle reminder that the Estée Lauder brand is not following but leading this trend in a sense, as the "Private Collection" concept came about long before either Tom Ford's Private Blend or Armani Privé saw the light of day.......

 Raffy Dolbakian is the owner of Parfums Raffy, which is both a brick-and-mortar perfume boutique located in Sherman Oaks, California, and a discount online store. His careful selection includes both meaningful design and niche fragrances, including for the latter the full ranges of (discontinued) Crown Perfumery fragrances, Creed, Montale, and Amouage perfumes. In French, a "parfumeur" can mean both a "nose" and a perfume store owner and in this case Dolbakian happens to be both as he was formally trained in the art of perfumery. He composes fragrances that can be custom-ordered. He is also the perfume expert on the MTV reality show, "My Super Sweet 16". This summer, there was one clear favorite for both women and men, Creed Virgin Island Water, which made the tops of both top-ten lists at Parfums Raffy......

Sarah Jessica Parker has launched her new fragrance Covet and rather than to dissect the notes in the new jus, she has preferred to stress that her ideal comfort fragrance would be to bottle up the scent of her four year old son James' bedroom.....

 Armani has released its newest fragrance called Emporio Armani Diamonds. It comes right in the wake of the success of Armani Code for Women, which ranked 9th on US Mother's Day and amongst the top five bestsellers in several European markets (Germany, Italy, UK). This launch is seen as an effort to vitalize further the Armani brand name in the realm of women's fragrances. To that effect, singer Beyoncé Knowles has been enlisted to be the face for the fragrance advertising campaign....

While Britney Spears is preparing to launch her latest jus, Believe, an ad campaign of sorts has already started on the net with pictures of the Elizabeth Arden press release circulating. Fans and others are wondering whether or not an all-too-obvious idealization process has taken place? The question may appear futile, but it is not, really. What are at stakes are ethical issues regarding body representation and the power of images in our society.

We are continuing our world tour of trend-setting perfume boutiques founded by people who are known for their exceptional dedication to the world of fragrances. Today we visit Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie located at the Urban Retreat at Harrods in London. The Haute Parfumerie is one of the most select venues for fragrance discovery, education, and shopping in the British capital city but also probably in the world. It is the brain-child of Roja Dove (pronounced like Roger), a perfume expert of international renown. He has been active in particular in bringing back long-gone masterpieces of perfumery and has recently launched his own perfumes called Scandal, Unspoken, Enslaved......
