September 20, 2007Queen of the Fire Tassels by Opus Oils {New Perfume} If you love very niche perfumes created in reference to interesting sub-cultures, here is the scoop: Opus Oils is preparing to introduce a new Eau de Parfum fragrance created for strip teaser and exotic dancer Satan's Angel and which is called Queen of the Fire Tassels. If Agent Provocateur Strip might represent the safe fantasy of being a strip teaser under your business suit, this new scent apparently is the real thing. The next question is: when is Dita Von Teese going to launch her own perfume? There seems to be something missing in the logical sequence of events, From the press release: "Hollywood, CA – Sept. 19th, 2007 – Opus Oils, a Perfume Atelier located in the heart of glamorous Hollywood, CA announced today the Official Launch & Release of their new Satan’s Angel “Queen of the Fire Tassels” 1oz Eau de Parfum. Strong and wild like the Lady who inspired it, this sultry, narcotic floral bomb explodes with key notes of Gardenia, Narcissus, Tuberose, Stargazer Lily, Jasmine, Bergamot & Pink Grapefruit, and finishes with a velvet Cypher dry-down reminiscent of glamorous days gone by.......

More Info on the Re-Launch of Coty Stetson Original with Tom Brady {Fragrance News} This is a picture of Tom Brady in Rockmount Ranch Wear which can get us accustomed to the idea that Brady looks good in cowboy gear although he is most commonly associated with the New England Patriots. By the way, Rockmount shirts seem to be particularly sought after and are often used in the movie industry. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, for example, both wore Rockmount shirts in Brokeback Mountain (see their celebrity gallery). Back to Brady. We announced previously that Tom Brady is the new man fronting the Stetson colognes ads (included in the post is a behind-the-scenes pic from the photo shoot). Here is more information about the re-launch of Stetson Original this fall which is currently scheduled for November 2007. No official picture from the advertising campaign yet, but more details can be found in the press release,

New Perfume + Perfume Naming Contest by Bourbon French Parfums {New Perfume} {Fragrance News} This is our first announcement for a new fragrance without a name! Yes, you may have noticed a certain minimalist trend regarding perfume names lately which make these dwindle in size seriously offering sometimes just two letters, "XX" or "XY" or even a single letter, "L", but an unnamed perfume, without even a number, is a first. But not for long. Bourbon French Parfums the old perfumery from New Orleans established in the 19th century is counting on you to provide them with a brand new original name for their new perfume. They are very old, 160 year old, and they need your help. The name, we suppose, has somehow to fit the spirit of the notes. Here's their letter to you,

September 21, 2007Geisha Noire Eau de Parfum by Aroma M {Fragrance News} {New Perfume}
For the holiday season Aroma M is introducing this September 2007 a new alcohol-based version of its oil-based perfume created in 2000, Geisha Noire (Black Geisha), in response to popular demand. The formula remains unchanged but the translation of the original fragrance into an edp makes the new scent more diffusive as it is the very function of an eau de parfum to create a sillage or wake of perfume, From the press release:

More on Shalimar Black, the Christmas Limited Edition by Guerlain {Luxury Perfume} {Scented Quote of the Day} Perfume bottle collectors and Shalimar aficionados can rejoice. As briefly reported previously, Guerlain is issuing for the holiday season a special limited edition of the great classic oriental perfume Shalimar called the "Shalimar édition limitée Noël". The striking transformation is a first and found at the diametrically opposite end of the color spectrum of a previous special edition in transparent Baccarat crystal. The scent, in both Eau de Parfum and Parfum concentrations, is dressed for the occasion in a sumptuous new black outfit that is like an echo of the Black Orloff diamond or again perhaps, the reflection of the moon on peacocks that strut about the gardens of Shalimar at night, according to the press release. Guerlain explain that they want to explore the mysterious side of Shalimar with this new color.......

Scented Quote of the Day, from Arthur Minton: Duke women 1946 Minton writes bout Gallicized perfume names in America as of 1946 (a method applied sometimes quite erratically if you read the rest of Minton's article, which is at times hilarious, especially when he gives long lists of perfume names with funny mistakes in them.) Some of my favorites are: Charme d'France, La Joye, Le Secrét Discret, Mon Spi, De Sir De Toi, Ne Moub Liez Pas, Puré Paris, Mon Ajour, Ro Mantique, La Plus Des Fleurs, Violette Verdue, Rafraichu....I am laughing so much it hurts!!):......

September 23, 2007Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur {Perfume Short (Review)} {New Perfume} Black Orchid Voile de Fleur is one of the latest Tom Ford additions to his house catalog of perfumes. As its name indicates, it is a twist on his previous major feminine launch, Black Orchid. It was originally conceived as the lighter eau de toilette version of the dark heavy floral that is Black Orchid, which is such until its dry-down, which toys with the idea that the best endings should be light-hearted. Voile de Fleur was created by perfumers David Apel and Pierre Negrin..... Continue reading "Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur {Perfume Short (Review)} {New Perfume}" »
