British culture, which is reputed for being very keen on the Royals, and perhaps by extension, is also particularly appreciative of celebrity perfumes, is creating out of enthusiasm and single-handedly a sub-category of celebs' fragrances, the WAG's (Wives And Girlfriends) celebrity perfumes already represented by Victoria Beckham, Coleen McLoughlin and now Alex Curran, the wife of Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard.
Alex Curran said,.....

The Reception by Frederick John Lewis, 1873 Both modern chypres and rose perfumes are very au courant this season and the new Gucci Eau de Parfum harnesses these two trends in a subtle and elegant manner. Frida Giannini, the new artistic director at Gucci wanted to create a fragrance meant for a strong and feminine woman. The idea of feminine strength is revealed here by perfumer Ilia Ermenidis in a very restrained fashion creating an impression comparable to the effect that gliding water can have on the hardest of rocks overtime. Like that fluid force, Gucci Eau de Parfum is easy to wear and one wants to drink from it as easily as from a glass of water........

If you thought the trend of celebrity fragrances would naturally wane, sputter, and die a slow and forecast death, well we have all heard about impermanence of course, but right now the trend is alive and well. And this is not going to change in 2008 as far as we can tell from the number of future releases and projects that are being announced. In this manner we learn that Claudia Schiffer is planning to release her own fragrance........

Ilaya by Isabel Derroisné, 49 € or US $ 70 (now 29 € or US $ 41.45)
Ilaya is the latest perfume by Isabel Derroisné. It is presented as an incense and coffee perfume offering, "sensual ancestral notes" such as myrrh, frankincense, benzoin and "contemporary notes" such as a moka coffee accord. The scent is said to offer a velvety oriental texture (from our previous post).
The perfume was composed by perfumer Jérôme Epinette of Robertet who has also created recently Fougère and Poudré by Jovoy. Ilaya seems to be a perfect fit for the colors of fall and the quest for hushed-down warmth and sensuality. Past the opening, which feels more like a light hors-d'oeuvre than a real glimpse of things to come with its citrusy, aromatic, yet somewhat crunchy-green notes too of bergamot, ginger, and cardamom, Ilaya offers the feel of a soft amber-y oriental next. It develops along the way a certain reverberative character, lift, and resonant aspect that one associates usually with chypre fragrances. The oriental character of the fragrance is thus a bit dual and more aerial than usual.....
