You know it's the 8th of March or International Women's Day today. In honor of this date, I decided to turn to the myth of Eve hiding behind the ensemble cast of Desperate Housewives to see what kind of perfume they might have inspired. Perfumer Richard Herpin of Firmenich created the scent in 2006 together with Coty, Inc. The company saw it at the time as a conceptually innovative celebrity fragrance because it did not correspond to just one personality but to a whole TV show. Efforts were made to include representative perfume notes of the characters "spicy black pepper for Gabrielle, apples for Bree the baker, romantic jasmine for Susan, sexy sandalwood for Edie and wisteria for their street" (Cosmopolitan, Sept 1, 2006. ) What Forbidden Fruit is officially is a fruity-floriental. The inner workings of the fragrance composition reveal more than that, that it is also study on impressions of femininity, sensuality and more to the point and more originally, on lust...

Spike TV Guys Choice Awards, June 2010 Actor George Clooney was reportedly only mildly interested in making a fragrance line under his name in collaboration with Coty, Inc, which specializes, among other things, in celebrity scents. They are the people behind the upcoming Lady Gaga scent. Only, he wanted a good paycheck to make it worth his while before he rolled up his sleeves. In exchange, the star was willing to commit to a several-year contract which would guarantee public sightings of the Clooney at the perfume counters for throngs of adoring (male? female?) fans...

Lady Gaga, after revealing that her upcoming perfume by Coty will contain controversial notes of blood and semen, is offering further details. First of all, and in a welcome twist, some would say (who?), the blood note is reportedly based on a sample of her own. It would have been headspaced, analyzed and reconstructed for inclusion in the juice. I had said when reviewing Beyoncé Heat that "Personally, I am still waiting for the celeb scent with a headspace capture of the aroma of the celebrity's belly-button," We're in the realm of reality now, although the updated status is that I am still awaiting now for a celeb fragrance based on her or his emotional chart reconstructed thanks to sensor captors, like it's been done in Shanghai...

The brand, which is known for its edgy, futuristic and on occasion monumental visual universe, chose the sprinter who lost his two feet because "he opens the way for a new style of modern hero: an atypical personality which asserts itsefl beyond everything one could have imagined - it is in perfect adequacy to the vision of Thierry Mugler."...

 Floris Est. 1730 wanted to partake of the upcoming revelry on April 29th 2011 celebrating the marriage of Prince William to Catherine Middleton (you are officially not allowed to use the short form "Kate" anymore.)

 One of the most talked about celebrity fragrances last year was Jennifer Aniston Eau de Parfum. It was great to take a peek at the launch which took place at Harrods of London, but it was frustrating for many across the pond not to be able to purchase the perfume in the United States where the actress is most famous, admittedly. Finally, Sephora snagged the exclusive. You can buy it online for now. Wait until the end of March 2011 to find in the boutiques of the chain store...

 Nine d'Urso is the eldest daughter of ex top model Inès de la Fressange, who recently went back to the Chanel runway for a short stint. The 17-year old adolescent has recently been showcased in the book of advice her mother authored (with Sophie Gachet) last fall 2010 called La Parisienne which is to come out in English soon as The Parisian Guide to Chic.
I remember reading an interview of Nine d'Urso's mom explaining that her daughter does not particularly like to play top model (she refused to do an Elle cover) and is much more passionate about her classical studies...
