Tirzah.jpg

 

Vancouver-based independent natural perfumer Ayala Moriel of Ayala Moriel Parfums has launched a new fragrance for linden blossom lovers called Tirzah (Hebrew for "linden"). It is composed as a soliflore and is part of "The Language of Flowers" collection. Ayala Moriel explained that "The timing for the launch of Tirzah couldn't be better: linden blossoms are in full bloom throughout the month of June, emanating their delicate, honey-like aroma in the air. And what more - Tirzah is particularly suitable for a heat wave, with its top notes of green lemon zest and the cucumber-like mimosa, chilling heart notes of iris roots and a clean woody base of Fokienia with a hint of hay."......

S2 by Shilpa Shetty {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrance}

Shilpa_Shetty_S2_Perfume.jpg

 

Following her spats with her Big Brother  "inmates" (it looks awfully claustrophobic in there), Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is back, not exactly with a vengeance, but rather with a signature perfume called S2 (pronounced "S square"). After having suffered at the hands of Jade Goody who was accused of being racist towards her on the TV show Big Brother and who saw her own perfume Shh....withdrawn from the shelves as a consequence of her attitude, Shilpa Shetty, it seems, is pointing the spray bottle back at her so to speak.......

L'Instant Magic by Guerlain {New Perfume} {Scented Thoughts}

L'Instant_Magic_Guerlain.jpg

Guerlain will introduce a new feminine fragrance called L'Instant Magic on September 1 2007. As reported by the brand, the new perfume has no filiation whatsoever with the original L'Instant except for a sensation of freshness that cuts across the whole fragrance.

Wouldn't it be more exciting to give it an altogether new name then? Apparently the needs of branding have overcome. Not only are the juices becoming more stereotypical, but the names of the perfumes are following that trend as well. Although please note that in this case, the perfume will be different, but the name will be confusingly similar to the original L'Instant........
