 Britney Spears will release a new fragrance in August 2009 called Circus Fantasy in reference to her current show tour and her Fantasy portfolio developed with Elizabeth Arden. It comes right after Hidden Fantasy. The singer already managed to insert the name and vaunt its allure in a joke on the Letterman Show in the Top-Ten segment the other night (see after the jump). Luscious fruits, tempting
florals and creamy musks capture the magical atmosphere of the show
with a colorful illusion of fun, sexiness and glamour...

 Esteban is proposing a new fragrance called Esprit de Thé (Spirit of Tea) in their Le Bain (The Bath) collection which is usually a charming and laid-back library of scents. In 2006, there was a little commotion over Sensuelle Russie which was a more complex brew than expected. This year we have a musky-floral eau de toilette centering on pure green tea while resting on a floral heart and a woody base. There are so many tea scents nowadays that it would be surprising if this composition brought a particular, noteworthy nuance to the table, but who knows?
 Thierry Mugler is not making wine or cognac (yet) but he is turning perfume into a heir to the great traditions of liqueur-making by borrowing and adapting centuries-old methods of aging. One empirical conundrum was finding the right type of wood to impart desirable notes to the parfum of La Part des Anges, the first scent that was made using this technique. Now, Thierry Mugler is offering Alien and Angel in Liqueur de Parfum...

 The fashion house of Carven which gave in the past the legendary perfume names of Ma Griffe (1946) and Vétiver (1957) will resurrect an authentic version of the classic 1950s men's Vétiver based on the original formula which is now called Le Vétiver, The Vetiver meaning the famous one, the real one, to distinguish it from less qualitative versions still floating about in the market.

 Donna Karan will launch a new, " enhanced" luxurious edition of the American classic, Cashmere Mist. The perfume was created 15 years ago by popular demand and is directly inspired by the scent of Donna Karan's bath and body line at the time. People reportedly just fell in love with the scent, would stop her on the street, write to the brand to request a personal perfume be developed from the bath and body products, and so Cashmere Mist was born. As its name indicates it is also based on the idea of reproducing the sensation of wearing cashmere wool on bare skin, Donna Karan's favorite material. 15 years later, the perfume is the fourth best-selling fragrance in America according to NPD...

 Bath & Body Works are extremely prolific and they are right to be so because the whole idea behind their lines is to play with scents and products without thinking too hard about your finances. From the brand come two new perfumes inspired by the island of Tahiti, Coconut Vanille and Tiare Flower in the collection Ile de Tahiti. Coconut Vanille is described as a beach scent, Beach in a bottle. The tropical scents of Coconut and Bamboo
float within White Iris and Musk, transporting the senses and the
imagination. Getaway is now everyday...

 After Shock comes Cosmo, another perfume by Italian cosmetics brand Rubino Cosmetics whose star ingredient is precious ruby dust. Cosmo is said to be inspired by Cuba. I cannot resist the temptation of drawing a parallel with Guerlain Homme inspired by a Mojito cocktail tasted in a Cuban bar, Narciso Rodriguez Essence, a twist on a perfume first smelled in Cuba by Rodriguez, and L'Artisan Parfumeur Havana Vanille also taking inspiration from the same locale...
