 Picture © MayerLady Gaga has already registered a few trademarks in the perfumery category but the latest one might be The One for her debut fragrance to see the light of day in spring 2012 as reported earlier on. According to TMZ, the name "Monster" has recently been trademarked by "the fragrance company behind Gaga's upcoming scent" which would be Coty Inc. as opposed to her own company Ate My Heart Inc. which reserved a few trademarks already...

 English pop singer Peter Andre, after launching his debut scent in 2009 called Unconditional pour Femme followed by Conditional pour Homme in 2010 is returning to his female fan base with Mysterious Girl pour Femme named after one of his hit songs. While Unconditional was reportedly a smashing success, being the
bestselling celebrity scent at The Perfume Shop in the UK in 2009 with
a bottle sold every 45 seconds, Conditional elicited more lukewarm
reactions some hypothesized due to the bum tabloid rap about the singer
and ex-wife Katie Price aka Jordan, as if this could not be an asset at times....

 After Faith Hill, her debut fragrance launched in 2009, country singer Faith Hill did not wait long before following up with a second perfume last summer called True introduced with the tag line, "The new fresh fragrance." " Inspired by casual sensuality and spirited femininity, Faith Hill True embodies a woman's incredible sense of self - pure, honest, and unabashed. Opening with a burst of exotic citrus, Faith Hill True weaves a breezy floral middle and finishes with a woody base of warmth and subtle sexuality."...

 TV personality Jordin Sparks who won Season 6 of American Idol, sang the national anthem for Super Bowl 2008 as well as for the soundtrack of Walt Disney Beauty and the Beast (you can see perfume bottles in her video after the jump) will launch her debut fragrance this month. she says this is out of deference for her fans. The perfume could have been called Giving Back but Because of You was probably thought to be more loving and grateful-sounding. Foremost on Sparks' mind is the imperative to offer both a qualitative and affordable fragrance which will be priced at $9,50 the first month of its launch at Dots then go up to $14,95 on November 1, 2010, "In this economy especially, my fans deserve a high-quality, reasonably
priced scent," ...

 Kim Kardashian has reportedly provoked the ire of Sephora by breaking off early from her exclusive distribution contract with them for her debut fragrance Kim Kardashian Eau de Parfum. This is a semi-news-, semi-rumor trail which we were not able to confirm fully as when we asked Sephora about the tension at the beginning of the month, they answered on September 1, 2010 via email that " As for Kim Kardashian, Sephora has no comment at this time."...

 Following up on the news of the launch of John Galliano Parlez-Moi d'Amour, here is more information about the jus itself and the ideas behind its conception. Created by perfumer Aliénor Massenet of IFF, Parlez-Moi d'Amour (Talk to Me about Love) aims not only to be a wink in the direction of La Môme Piaf's eponymous song, but also to be a reference to a forgotten genre, the love letter written with ink on paper, in an era when the Gen Y members prefer to communicate via SMS, email and Skype. The new scent primarily targets young women aged 16 to 25 years old. The eau de toilette, to satisfy Galliano, had to be romantic, glamorous, rock 'n roll, classic, young and sparkling all at the same time, to reflect its muse, 17-year old singer and Gossip-Girl actress Taylor Momsen...

 The latest John Galliano women's fragrance launched yesterday on September 13, 2010 in Paris at historic restaurant Lapérouse facing the Seine in the 6th arrondissement. Outside the culinary hot spot which had been commandeered for the perfume launch, there was a huge open-sided bus to host a concert by The Pretty Reckless. Momsen performed with her band that evening singing Factory Girl, Make me wanna die, Since you're gone. If you were following her tweets you would have got the invitation to meet up at the crossroad of the Quai des Grands Augustins and the rue des Grands Augustins. The new fragrance has started to be unveiled. The Eau de Toilette is called Parlez-moi d'amour (lit. Talk to me about love) and is aiming a younger demographic than the eponymous John Galliano edp and edt. But as Galliano quickly added, there is no age limit for true love...

 Picture © GranitzThis time it's for real. It's finally official folks. Women's Wear Daily just announced in breaking news tonight that pop priestess Lady Gaga is now set to launch her first fragrance with Coty, Inc. in the spring of 2012. Was it easy to get that piece of information? Hmmm, rather complex we'd say. When initially announced, the rumor had been quickly followed by an official denial from the giant company which has been developing a stable of celebrity perfumes over the years. The match made in heaven was not to be, we were told. But then a member of the naughty blogosphere unearthed a perfume and beauty trademark by Lady Gaga. Something was in the air...  Picture by R. Kisby: Lady Gaga jumps into the
crowd during the performance of Semi Precious Weapons at Lollapalooza
at Grant Park on August 6, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois.

 The veteran of the celebrity-perfume industry and a pioneer, who revealed celebs scents could be really popular and lucrative a venture, we have named Jennifer Lopez, has released yet another fragrance in the Glow series called L.A.

 The Beckhams have expanded their franchise of scents with a new duo called Intimately Yours Women & Men. In keeping with the original inspiration of their fragrance venture, which is to pretend to allow the media to open a special vista onto their couple's intimacy, they reenact for us what might be a typical quickie-in-the-elevator for them, in-between two public commitments, the bane of a celebrity's life. Despite the aim of proposing a suggestive advertising, the images remains just that, lightly suggestive rather than constituting a heroic piece of anthology. If the commercial is anything to go by (see after the jump), the perfumes will smell like a cleaned-up act of sensuality, G-rated in order to reach a wide public...

 Aventus is the latest fragrance composition by Creed
est. 1760, first as a tailoring house in England. Later they became one
of the chosen few to have the privilege of belonging to the exclusive
French syndicate of Haute Couture as a felicitous consequence, further
down the road, of their transplantation to Paris in 1854. They are now
better-known for their fragrances as well as longevity as a
family-operated business for 6 generations with Oliver Creed and Erwin Creed as the latest representatives of the dynasty.
Once
more, as is their consistent tradition, the establishment-oriented
perfume house turned their sights to a historical figure, Napoleon Bonaparte this time (see also Jackie Kennedy), to inspire their creation, which "...honors traits of virility,
power, strength and vision, inspired by Napoleon, the man who crowned himself
emperor of France and all Europe, a self-made king who waged war, peace and
love on terms he set."...

 Fragrance expert and perfume collector Roja Dove has partnered with British tabloid The Sun to create a fragrance inspired by the paper's favorite celebrities called Buzz. The tag line is "Entertainment bottled." "Buzz is the glamour of a film premiere, the rush of the red carpet, the fun of an after-party, the scent of bottled entertainment."
Conspicuously present behind the ad copy are repressed chuckles and giggles...

Mary J. Blige My Life by Carol's Daughter is one of the latest celebrity fragrances to appear on the market and certainly the one which was most talked about in recent memory for its record-breaking sales on HSN on July 31st 2010, the day of its exclusive on air and online introduction. According to Harlem World, During the first 6 hours, 10 000 bottles of perfume were sold each hour. 20% more customers tuned in. 10 000 people signed up for regular shipping of the fragrance. And all this was based only on Mary J. Blige's charisma, the link her fans feel with her and perhaps a phenomenon of instant, real-time mutually encouraging shopping spree and unfolding popularity. As the media commented again and again, the bestseller's takeoff was solely based on intangibles such as trust and love for the person behind the scent as no one could tell for sure what fragrance would come out of the heart-shaped flacon gilded with the words "My Life." The one note that was released in advance must have been the most laconic press preview ever: expect tuberose. Then 4 days before the HSN launch, Blige unveiled a little more saying that My Life was for women "who love tuberose, love jasmine, love fruit," she says. "It's all there." The name comes from one of the singer's albums, the one through which Blige says her fans have most connected to her. The decision to launch My Life on HSN was deliberate and bold. Next to nothing filtered prior to the official introduction and there was a strategic reason for it. According to the Associated Press,
"A year ago, we were strategizing and asking, `What could we do to
differentiate ourselves in the beauty business?'" adds HSN CEO Mindy
Grossman. "The whole experience of buying fragrance now: I don't find
it compelling. I think it's a big opportunity. ... Buying a scent is
buying a smell, but you're also buying what it means to you, what went
into it."....

 As previously said, Bang is the new Marc Jacobs scent for men after an 8-year lapse in masculine perfumery since Marc Jacobs for Men. Coty reportedly approached Jacobs with the idea of a new men's launch. While the fragrance is not officially a celebrity juice it was conceived in a similar spirit, in my view, by a company which specializes in this type of autobiographical fragrances. No perfumer names are given except the name of company Givaudan and that of fragrance developer Ann Gottlieb whose name is behind many commercial successes in perfumery. Added: The fragrance was actually composed by perfumers Yann Vasnier and Ellen Molner.
A dedicated Bang website has been set up.
The main olfactory idea behind Bang - and not just its starting point as I found out - relies on the effect of showcasing Marc Jacobs's personal taste in fragrance. The designer explained himself that,
"I wanted to do something that I would love," said Jacobs. "I particularly like spice notes, especially pepper, so that became a starting place."
Smelling Bang is discovering, as befits the genre of celebrity-wardrobe-fragrance (see Fergie Outspoken), a remix of favorite scents worn by Jacobs already available on the market, but condensed, blended together.
Notes: Pink, black and white peppercorns, "warm primal masculine woods", elemi resinoid, benzoin resin, vetyver, white moss, patchouli...

 Kate Moss has launched a new perfume called Vintage Muse; the tagline is " Kate Moss is the ultimate muse," a reference to a line heard at the well-publicized event of the MET gala which took place last year entitled "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" where Moss wore an Orientalist-cum-Grecian one-shouldered lamé dress with a turban to play the role of the muse. The Eau de Toilette is a flanker to Vintage (2009), which was an attempt to capture a certain retro atmosphere and reflect Moss's taste for nostalgia. Vintage Muse is, "Sophisticated and memorable, Vintage muse is a beautifully elegant yet sexy fragrance that reflects Kate's multi-faceted charm."...
