Avon Bond Girl 007: Interviews with Gemma Aterton, Olivier Cresp + TV Ad {Fragrance News} {New Perfume Advert}

Quantum-of-Solace.jpgOk, so you weren't able to make it to the world premiere of the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace in London yesterday (you wanted to have first dibs on the new Avon fragrance Bond Girl 007 of course).

The next best thing is to listen to Gemma Aterton talking about the perfume, take a peek at the behind-the-scenes and even - surprise! - listen to perfumer Olivier Cresp explaining his ideas for the perfume he helped create. It had to be both attractive and dangerous, says he. I am ready to believe Avon can put the equivalent of some kind of perfumery glutaminate of sodium in their scents because their Wish of Happiness seemed to operate exactly at that level.

So we get the addictive part for the drydown but then he adds that the top notes are sparkling. Is that supposed to mean dangerous as in an overdose of champagne?

 Watch the commercial and then the interviews after the jump and let us know what you think!

F
rom Avon about Bond Girl 007,

"It's a sexy cocktail of velvety florals, cool freshness, and warm woods. It features top notes of velvety white peach and orange blossom followed by mid-notes of jasmine, calypso orchid and freesia. They drydown consists of amber, cashmere wood and patchouli."

The tag line is "Impossible to resist."
