 The new trend in this beginning of 2012 is to take your pheromones (see Booty Parlor, Loverdose). Erox is funnier than some of its counterparts thanks to the unexpected combination of eroticism with a plainer argument about "social warmth" which is precisely incongruous for this type of scent. The perfume is, of course, more efficient than the competition. They are using two human pheromones and a supplementary molecule, commercialized for the first time: Muricin Aglycone, not a pheromone...

 Actress Kristen Stewart will be the new face of Balenciaga parfums with a "second-chapter" women's fragrance to come out in the fall of 2012. The house's art director Nicolas Ghesquière said,
“Kristen embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence,“From her early appearance in ‘Panic Room’ to her independent choice of ‘Welcome to the Rileys,’ I’ve always sensed her progressive character. In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga.”...

 In 1956, wearing loud perfume for a man and especiallly one of the blindingly bright, sparkling kind like Liberace was, was thought to be a sure give-away of his homosexuality which he tried to conceal from public knowledge at all costs all his existence despite giving out all the easy, contradictory visual cues to doubt his professed standard sexual orientation.
Actress Betty White who was his confidante and "beard" de service, confirmed in an interview only in 2011 that Liberace was indeed gay. But the fact remains that the King of pastiche and Kitsch did not wish that piece of information to float its way to the headlines or be debated in public. In 1959, he however engaged in a libel suit to counteract the claim that he was less than straight, a thought, which as it turns out, dawned upon a journalist like a semi-confirmation as he was smelling his heavy perfume-wearing in an airport in Paris. It alluded to his gayness and was felt to be a give-away and code-word for his actual erotic preferences. Better still, we see Liberace balk when he reads himself being described as being "fruit-flavored" thought to be an implicit reference to his homosexuality in a newspaper article of the day...

The new Shine Get It Guide from Yahoo! asked us to collaborate on their Insiders' posts. This week's topic is Celebrity Fragrances and here's the list we came up with to complement their own selection which is based on the most popular queries appearing in Yahoo search engine. We already reviewed two of those in the past: Jennifer Aniston and Beyoncé Heat. For this article, I picked three perfumes from the recent crop of celebrity perfumes that I think people will enjoy wearing and three that I'm particularly looking forward to checking out. Heidi Klum Shine Supermodel Heidi Klum, whose father worked in the beauty and fragrance industry in Germany, must have kept some great connections because her debut perfume is super professionally made. Co-created by perfumers Jean Guichard, son Aurélien Guichard and Olivier Pescheux of Givandan, this is an all-woman perfume which wafts on and on to surprise you with its different facets throughout the day. I would recommend it both for married women and single women. It's sexy, joyful, with a warm personality and offers an enduring charm. Notes: mandarin, OrPur, pear williams, pink peppercorn, mimosa abs, muguet, sunflower, vanilla, tonka bean and Cosmone musk....

 Following up on an earlier announcement, Coty Prestige released more news about the fragrance venture signed "Madonna." The perfume will be the prelude to the launch of a lifestyle brand called Truth or Dare by Madonna. The singer is said to have confessed that,
"I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me but that other people could relate to as well: something honest, and yet daring, hence the name Truth or Dare," Which in French gives (Coty France release) (you knew that Lourdes goes to the French school in London, right?) « J’ai toujours été obsédée par l’univers des parfums », a confié Madonna à Women’s Wear Daily. « Cela fait des années que je rêve de créer une fragrance personnelle, qui soit non seulement l’expression de moi-même, mais que les autres puissent également s’approprier. Un parfum sincère et audacieux à la fois, d’où son nom, Truth or Dare*.”...

 With recurring references to scents and that of Bella in particular, the Twilight Saga creates at times a sense of disquietingly perceptive olfactory sensations.

 If you buy a celebrity fragrance for the celebrity and not the jus, then it must be because you want to purchase a piece of them. Madonna herself was inspired by the charisma of her own mother seen through her child's eyes and the memory of her fragrance to create her upcoming perfume, Truth or Dare. Although she doesn't say what compositions her mother wore, she picks out the notes as being those two great American pop icons, gardenia and tuberose,
“She always smelled like gardenias and tuberose, an intoxicating mixture [that was] feminine and mysterious. I wanted to re-create this scent, but with something fresh and new about it as well. Something honest and yet daring — hence the name Truth or Dare.”....
