Jennifer Aniston To Pour Her Anger (lina) into a New Perfume Instead of Drinking It...Just Kidding - Update

As reported back in 2007, the rumors then started circulating of a possible upcoming perfume signed by Friends icon Jennifer Aniston. Three years later, it seems that the rumor has been confirmed by a source close to the actress. The romantic comedy cutie has reportedly been working diligently and discreetly for 20 months on a fragrance development project.

Initially, the brand Elizabeth Arden had been attached to the project although Arden said in July 2009 that they were concentrating on beauty products and were not looking to expanding their perfume portfolio. But this does not preclude the carrying-on of a fragrance development underway, if that is the case at all with Elizabeth Arden...

Initially reported by Dossier Journal who got the scoop thanks to in-the-field alertness walking by Moto in Brooklyn, it is now confirmed that the greatest amongst the greats Martin Scorsese will apply some or all of his genius to the new Chanel men's fragrance ad to debut in September 2010. Chanel have reportedly been pursuing this particular collaboration for quite some time.

Laura Tonatto Notte a Taif (2010) {New Perfume} E Duse is Back & New e-Commerce {Fragrance News}

It is with pleasure that I am able to report that independent Italian perfumer Laura Tonatto has now a new website which functions as an international e-commerce. It was until recently difficult to come by her fragrances unless you were in Rome or Turin.

To make the news even more delightful, I see that the lovely violet composition that is E Duse, a perfume which is a homage paid to the great actress Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) is back in her catalog.

One of Tonatto's specializations which is conducted through her workshop Naso e Parnaso is historical interpretative work in compositions inspired by famous historical figures or even works of art. In 2005, for example, she created a perfume based on the painting The Lute Player by Caravaggio for the Hermitage Museum...

The Best Perfumes of 2000-2009 in Poetry by Cinquieme Sens {Fragrance News} {Perfume List}

Cinquième Sens (Fifth Sense) a Paris- and New-York-based perfume school open to all (not just professionals) who wish to take classes to train their sense of smell and knowledge of fragrance history and marketing (check out their website for a list of workshops) took their quills to pen down two poems in French about the best or most representative landmark perfumes in their views for each year since 2000 in fragrances both in the masculine colognes and feminine perfumes categories.

I thought the lists were so neat, I asked if I could publish them on the blog and in return even got the suggestion that maybe I could translate them into English? Absolutely!

Pears' Soap New Smell Put on Trial on Facebook {Fragrance News}

Long-time consumers of Pears' Soap the first transparent glycerin soap created by Andrew Pears in 1789 - 221 years ago - had been noticing lately that its scent seemed to have changed and apparently not for the better (I have an unused Pears soap but bought a year prior to the reported change.) Complaints range from its smell giving off strong notes of tea tree oil, frankincense and just being downright "horrible." Being what it is, a modest yet serious institution of British and international hygiene, consumers who have been using it for 40 - 50 years and can recall their ancestors using it before them became irate. A Facebook group was formed called 'Bring Back The Original Pears Soap.' An eloquent passage is provided by Lyn Westerman,...
