The Scoop: Pop singer and actress Jessica Simpson will launch her debut signature fragrance on August 15, 2008. It is called Fancy.
Love the black-and-white-cinema effect of this image (the ad is not released yet; it is the PR image communication image for now. This is the initial teaser folks). Very iconic. Think Marylin Monroe in the Misfits, the all-American open road etc. They are cultivating her America's sweetheart image.....

This year Jean Paul Gaultier dreams of Africa and proposes scented variations of Classique and Le Mâle bottled in the usual anthropomorphic bottles decorated this time with African adornments, "She is a queen, a sensual temptress wearing an ornament of wood and glass beads. He is a manly, sensitive Maasai warrior sporting a solar talisman." .....

Unforgivable Black and Unforgivable Woman Black by Sean John are the two latest additions to the Sean John perfume portfolio. His debut scent was Unforgivable for Men in 2006 which was a commercial success earning the brand $150 million globally. Last year Sean Diddy Combs also designed a women's version of Unforgivable, which he noted had nothing to do with the original men's version except for a subtle "synergy note" of bergamot as he wanted the feminine scent to stand on its own. He told Women's Wear Daily,
"I didn't want to take the easy way out as far as just making a feminine version of the men's. Women and men are totally different. I like a woman to smell like a woman, and a man to smell like a man."
After everyone has had time to take in this statement and digest it, we can point out that this time the Black duo takes the synergy route that was rejected the first time around. The two perfumes are very much two birds of the same feather but this time they seem to belong to one of those species of birds where the male's plumage is more colorful than the female's one due to male active sexual competition over female mates......

The lingerie brand Victoria's Secret has launched a new limited-edition perfume called Isle of Pink meant to evoke the folly (added) of a spring break in the Carribean. To bring home the concept of the line, the perfumes are displayed on an island-type table that looks like a mound of pink. Walking past the door of one of their boutiques, it is hard to miss the pink aura from the corner of your eye. A few feet away from it near the entrance, the boutique smells of, essentially, cotton candy. I took a mental note and decided to take the plunge the next time around. But here's their tantalizing invitation....
