Kate Moss Wild Meadow (2010) {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrance}


kate_moss_wild_meadow.jpg
Kate Moss will add a new flanker to the Kate portfolio of fragrances from March 2010 with Kate Moss Wild Meadow. The perfume is inspired by the out-of-this-world English landscape of the Cotswolds, one of Moss's favorite places to be on earth and more particularly the sensual experience of walking through a meadow of wild flowers.

I remember touring the Cotswolds for the first time when I was at Oxford. I almost needed to pinch myself when looking at and stepping inside this postcard-like idyllic countryside with its thatched cottages seemingly plucked out of a fairy tale and as if the whole region meant to teach a thing or two to Hollywood fantasy productions. The area has incidentally been classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) since 1966...

Kylie Minogue Couture (2009): Jungle Musky Floral {Perfume Review} {Celebrity Fragrance}


kylie-minogue-couture-bottle.jpg
Kylie Minogue Couture was launched in 2009 and is the singer's fifth feminine fragrance. She more recently turned to masculine inspiration for a cologne called Inverse. I was asked to give my opinion on some scents for a magazine and so decided to write a full-fledged review on the blog of this one since I had enough notes and had not reviewed it in the past.

Celebrity fragrances suffer from many preconceived opinions and stereotypes. They are easily targeted and ridiculed. Like those figures at the fair that you see kids throw little rice sacks at to make them tumble, celebs seem sometimes to be handsomely payed just to channel the pent-up frustrations and need for derivatives of the crowds and in the meantime avoid a social revolution. For this reason alone, their existence is justified and productive. People tend too often to view only the lucrative aspects of the celebrity-fragrance game but really think about the social coping mechanisms they help set. People can reaffirm their collective purported values by spitting on Paris Hilton and lavishing adulation on the nice celebs...which are??? Wait, let me pause to help clarify the fuzziness of the universe which is in dire need of some clear landmarks. I'll pick Tilda Swinton and her upcoming fragrance: she is not exactly nice but she is interesting at least. Oh no wait, there is Queen Latifah who is nice: you could really tell people wanted to love her fragrance in advance. Fortunately, her jus was up to snuff...

Celine Dion Simply Chic (2010) {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrances}


simply-chic-de-celine-dion_ad.jpg
Celine Dion, who strikes you as someone who could appeal to very different constituencies for different reasons - there is a counter-cultural streak in her despite her classic voice-based diva popularity (unconventional beauty, much older husband-mentor, unusual stage-kid past...) - proposes to draw a consensus on style with her new perfume called Simply Chic...
