Halle Berry Closer (2012) {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrance}
Actress Halle Berry will launch a new perfume under her name called Closer by Halle Berry. It borrows from a traditional masculine genre, the fougère, and reportedly aims to bring it to a new level of perfection for the exclusive benefit of women. The ultimate goal is not so much about the progress of perfumery however, as about designing a perfume in the tradition of sexual elixirs, love optional. The tag line is "The new scent of attraction for her".
You can expect to catch a familiar trail of barbershop freshness mixed in with a generous helping of florals. The composition is signed by perfumer Jacques Cavallier, the newly promoted in-house nose for Louis Vuitton...
The concept of a cross-dressing fougère is still a novel idea, but it is not the first time in recent memory that a fougère has been earmarked as feminine. In the past, Sarah Jessica Parker attempted to break through the perfume glass ceiling of machismo (regarding fougères) with her Covet,. More recently this year, Fergie also proposed a ladies fougère called Viva by Avon.
