Chantelle Eau de Désir, Eau Sensuelle, Eau Elégante, & Eau Libre (2008) {New Fragrances}

Parisian lingerie brand Chantelle, which was established as far back as the 19th century in 1876, have introduced for the first time a collection of four fragrances together with a range of beauty products (more details about those in a separate post) to create four new rituals of beauty. The four perfumes are: Eau de Désir, Eau Sensuelle, Eau Elégante, and Eau Libre. The eaux de toilette were created by perfumer Delphine Thierry. To each perfume and range of body products corresponds a different color-coded universe of seduction. Women can either sample quickly the products by sliding open the Cosmetic Bar found in the Chantelle boutiques or head to the Beauty Room to test them more at leisure together with an advisor.

Eau de Désir is symbolized by red and announces an universe of "daring seduction". The perfume is described as a gourmand and sensual fragrance. Top notes are fruity with notes of yellow plum (mirabelle) and mandarine followed by a tender core including notes of chocolate, incense, rose, benzoin, and cumin. Base notes are amber, patchouli, cedar, and a soft vanilla....

Downy Radiance Collection Inspires Fashion {Fragrance News} {Home Fragrances}

In an original move, Downy have decided to partner with Gen Art to ask three emerging fashion designer talents to create clothes that will be inspired by the scents of the three new Downy fabric softeners in the Simple Pleasures Radiance Collection. This initiative inscribes itself in a movement that aims at developing the interactive arm of marketing. Consumers will be able to chime in with their ideas on the Mood Board.

Perfumes in the Downy line are said to have been developed by the perfumers who created fragrances for Valentino, Escada, and Lacoste, which is also an interesting way to develop perfume-culture awareness and make consumers be more conscious about the skills that go into designing home fragrances, including laundry detergents or softeners...

New French Edition of GQ: Masculin, Beau, Intelligent {Beauty Notes}

The No. 1 issue of the new French version of GQ is now available. You can visit their site; there is a comic video ad for the launch of the magazine that tries to answer the question: "does the ideal man exist?" (the 2 mn version on the right hand-side is funnier).

Lancement du premier numéro de la version française de GQ ou Gentlemen's Quarterly. Pub marrante à savourer sur le côté droit du site (la version longue de 2 mn est plus drôle ou plus lourde, comme on voudra!).

We reported last fall about the launch of a new Italian line of fragrances called Memento. Here are some more information about their first creation bearing the title 22 Settembre 2007, Ore 8, Vaporetto Per Il Lido Venezia, which reads like an excerpt from a personal diary.

Agent Provocateur Strip Gets Real {Fragrance News}

Agent Provocateur plays marketing hardball with the help of Jen Dawson desnuda in Selfridges

As the Brits say, model Jen Dawson sat in that Selfridge's window on Thursday February 21st "startkers. Starkers"... to help call attention to the new perfume Strip by Agent Provocateur. It is a very good perfume, but rather than to spray it on the passers-by they decided to offer visual stimulation to potential customers and onlookers. Did they remember to buy the perfume for their wives and girlfriends?...

Hermès Un Jardin Après La Mousson (2008) {New Fragrance}

Hermès after Un Jardin En Méditerranée (2003) and Un Jardin Sur Le Nil (2005) will launch the third of the Jardins series in May of 2008 titled Un Jardin Après La Mousson (A Garden After The Monsoon). It was inspired by the Kerala region in India in that period which follows the upheaval of the monsoon. Hermès stress that instead of going for a spicy interpretation of India, in-house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena decided to bring out the cooler, quieter facets of this country which seems to be doing a comeback in perfumery if you think of Rose Kashmirie, Sahlini, Kenzo Amour Indian Holi...
