 Following the recent launch of their first fine fragrance composition called Pearls, bath and body brand Carol's Daughter, who might be looking to emulate a brand like Fresh purveyor of both bath and body and fine perfumes, is preparing to launch their first celebrity perfume inspired by singer Mary J Blige and named after her album entitled My Life. The artist has been working as one of the brand's celebrity spokespersons and is apparently thrilled by the project as she confesses to being a hard-core beauty junkie, "I am Carol's Daughter and my fans are Carol's Daughter users so it
just made sense to partner," Blige said in an interview last month.
"Ever since I was a child, I loved buying products that made me feel
beautiful and clean," said Blige. "I'm a total beauty nut -- you should
check out all the junk in my bathroom." (Via WWD)

 The brand My DNA Fragrance, which already came into the market with a biological twist on the familiar concept of the unique, perfect-fit fragrance, blending scents incorporating a finger-print signature based on your DNA sample, has now introduced a limited-edition celebrating the new president-elect of the United States, Barack Obama. The unisex fragrance is called POTUS 1600 and was created by Dr. Diva Verdun in November 2008. The tag line is " Fragrance you can believe in"...

 The new ad for Dior Hypnotic Poison with actress Monica Bellucci. The tag line is Dior est mon poison (Dior is my poison). An advertising that plays to the stereotype or archetype of Eve. The bottle of Hypnotic Poison becomes or rather suggests the (red) apple Eve bit into as she was seduced into it by the serpent in the garden of Eden. After Eve/Monica Bellucci gets expulsed from Eden she takes on the attributes of the snake in order, in her turn, to ssssseduce unwitting men. However Dior in their kindness have posted a big enough community warning sign. Monica Bellucci thus becomes that multi-secular female public enemy # 1 figure at the very same time that her husband Vincent Cassel is playing the role of public enemy #1 Mesrine in his latest movie. Nice synchronicity.
 Lanvin have announced that tennis champion Rafael Nadal will be the spokesperson for their upcoming new line of men's scents called Lanvin L'Homme Sport.

  Actress Sarah Jessica Parker is expanding further the lure of her Lovely Collection with three new perfumes meant to mark three different periods of the day: Dawn, Endless, Twilight. In other words it is an invitation to stay longer with your Lovely choice. The original Lovely was launched in 2005 and was followed by a Liquid Satin version. Coty Prestige reportedly intends to develop this franchise still further in the future. Regarding the time-of-the-day concept, Lisa Hoffman, Dustin Hoffman's wife, already had the idea not too long ago with her Variations Collection. According to WWD, Coty Prestige was inspired by their other fragrance-development venture, Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers, a set of five perfumes...

 To fête the 20th anniversary of their label, team Badgley & Mischka have concocted a new juice meant to embody the dreams and glamor that their company was able to foster. The idea is simple: as Badgley puts it " One zip -- or in this case, one spritz -- and you're glamorous!". It is a lighthearted reference to the much more arduous preparation stars go through to get ready for their big day or evening on the red carpet. Called Couture, the scent was inspired by a roster of feminine celebrities, and even icons: "Teri Hatcher, Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Eva Longoria Parker and Sarah Jessica Parker"...

 Britney Spears at the MTV Awards in Los Angeles in September 2008
The embryo of a news has started circulating whereby we learn that Britney Spears will release a new scent on December 2, 2008 called Hidden Fantasy to coincide with the release of her album Circus. According to Celebrity Wonder, an Elizabeth Arden insider revealed it features notes of cherry and vanilla and that the bottle is the same as the two previous Fantasy fragrances but colored red this time.
 Parlux Fragrances know about the media-attention capital Paris Hilton possesses and that's the main point, "Katz takes a wide-gauge view of the Hilton business. To him, a
fragrance launch is a process of bringing news to the Hilton customer.
Whether it results in the sales of the new fragrance or stimulates
sales of an earlier scent is of little consequence. The object is to
energize the customer base and whet its appetite."...

 Björk as seen by Jean-Paul Goude
Jean-Paul Goude reveals in the October issue of Votre Beauté what his signature perfume is, as well as what scent one day made his head turn around, leaving him with an unforgettable olfactory memory. He confesses to having personally adopted for good the scent under the label of his friend Andrée Putman, Préparation Parfumée, composed by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti. He is also sensitive to the freshness and sensuality of the Mojito cologne, Homme by Guerlain, for which he recently directed the commercial featuring a masculine icon very close to the animal state. He adds that in doing so he was trying to avoid the images of the "city man" and "metrosexual"...

 The MotivationOn September 22, 2008 the launch of a new perfume endorsed by opera singer Renee Fleming will take place at the MET on the occasion of their Opening Night Gala celebrating the 125th anniversary of the opera house. Called La Voce (The Voice), it is a limited-edition scent in full gala attire meant to raise funds for the New York opera house and awareness for a musical genre that is oftentimes considered too elitist to touch a wide spectrum of the population. According to Peter Gelb, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera the action will be beneficial to the institution, "This is part of our initiatives to regain the MET's position in
culture. We don't expect to replace pop culture but think it could be
more popular and be part of society and everyday life than has been in
recent decades. Having a perfume that's publicly promoted and honoring
one of opera's greatest stars is a step in the right direction."...
