Singer Christina Aguilera had already previously released an eponymous fragrance with a retro flair in which she was dressed in an emerald-colored dress looking very much like her model, Marylin Monroe. A new perfume also called Christina Aguilera will launch in October of 2007, which explores the pin-up theme anew and seems inspired by the sexy dress with black lace made by Marcel Rochas for Mae West, which appeared on the Femme packaging afterwards. Christina Aguilera explains that for her jasmine is a symbol associated with old-style Hollywood glamor and so she wanted this note in her perfume from the very beginning......

Gap, one of the temples of ready-made wear for the young and the slightly less young (portraits of actors Liev Schreiber and Ken Watanabe in the store's men section added a touch of maturity to the brand's image as we noticed in passing), has launched two new lines of fragrances. The one we are reviewing today includes six eaux de toilette which are called Lavender Tea No. 362, Coconut Tuberose No. 821, Mandarin Jasmine No. 094, Velvet Bloom No. 695, Washed Cotton No. 784, and White Amber No. 541. The other one is conceived more as an after-the-bath line and proposes a range of body mists. Over the past, Gap has launched several lines of easy-to-wear fragrances, which were always laid-back, unpretentious, fun, and often better than expected. The popular yet discontinued Gap Grass for example has generated a discreet cult following and can now be found for upwards of a $100 on auction sites and Ava-Luxe offers a Gap Grass type of scent.......

Molinard is one of the oldest French perfumeries in existence, established in 1849 in Grasse, in the ancient European capital of perfumery for raw materials. Jasmin is a jasmine soliflore, whose first embodiment appeared in 1860 at the time when Molinard, following the fashion of the times, was building its reputation thanks to its eaux parfumées and soliflores. The scent is part of the collection Les Fleurs de Provence (Flowers of Provence), which to this day continues to propose a range of soliflores. It continues a cultural tradition that associated the personality of a woman with her particular bloom of choice. Like a medieval lady exhibiting her personal colors, a 19th and early 20th century lady would have left her signature trail of violet, heliotrope, rose or tuberose........

He has created a line of four eco-friendly organic fragrances, which includes three women's scents, Floriental, Potion d'Amour, Méditerranée, and one men's cologne, Rhapsodie under the brand name Sharini: Parfums Naturels.

Kate Moss' new perfume started selling yesterday in the UK and already it is number 1 at Superdrugs, topping Stunning by Jordan aka Katie Price. The celebrity perfume culture seems so alive in the UK! Anything to do with the equally alive British tabloids? You can watch the launch party for Kate Moss in Morocco with excerpts from the TV ad. More info available at Female First.
Gwen Stefani L and Dior Midnight Poison -- we hesitated between categorizing them as "New Perfumes" or "Fragrance News". Technically speaking they are 2007 new launches, but the real news are not that they are new perfumes but rather copies of previous fragrances poured into new bottles. This is going to make our task easier but less fun also if all we need to do is type an = sign between two different packages. Alfred de Musset once famously wrote "Qu'importe le flacon pourvu qu'on ait l'ivresse!....." calling attention to the effect wine has as being more important than the bottle containing it......

Hubert Maes is a French indie perfumer based in the north of France, in Lille. He has created a collection of three perfumes, each telling a story of a different woman, called Histoire d'Un Rêve (The Story of a Dream), Histoire Charnelle (The Story of the Flesh/Carnal Story), and Délicieuse Histoire (Delicious Story). His creations are going to be more widely distributed in the By Terry boutiques........

For almond perfume lovers, L'Occitane en Provence has a scent that is both pretty and comforting. It feels as comforting as a drink of Turkish sahlep sipped in misty autumnal Istanbul. The fragrance is called Blossom Dew in English and Rosée de Fleurs in French. The packaging gets high marks from us as the flacon is charming with the perfume itself offering a lovely milky and opalescent color due to the use of almond proteins in it........
