 Coty Beauty have launched the latest David Beckham perfume called Homme. The company see the new fragrance as a return to the masculine roots of the brand and as a strategic launch.
The image of the soccer star has been revamped with an ambitious commercial borrowing sleek, imaginary-architecture codes from the movie industry, a bit in the line of Inception.

 A new, limited-edition collection of three perfumes titled Sancti, Fortis and Tumultu in the equally new Les Liquides Imaginaires series (The Imaginary Liquids) have been released under the art direction of French designer Philippe Di Méo, the founder of RESO, a multidesign agency.
For Di Méo, this is a comeback in the world of creative perfumery. Clearly obsessed, he is once again thinking in terms of a triptych of scents and around the symbolism of water, while pushing the boundaries of classic perfumery. Last time we heard of his perfume ideas, they were called Larmes, Salive and Sueur (Tears, Saliva, Sweat.)...

 The long-awaited unveiling of the debut fragrance by burlesque icon Dita Von Teese has finally taken place. After a corner of the veil was lifted at the beginning of the month, the full details have been revealed. The name of the fragrance is like a feminist manifesto in reverse, Dita Von Teese, Femme Totale. There won't be any copying of male behavior here, but a full-on embrace of femininity.
"Her new perfume is just like she is as a woman: glamorous and mysterious, self-confident and seductive. Dita Von Teese created a scent for the type of woman that she embodies like no other: the Femme Totale. She is a vamp and an innocent beauty, provocative and unattainable at the same time. She knows what she wants, and how she will get it – with style, class, and elegance."...

 DSquared2 are going for a new twist for their fragrance portfolio and an ancient obsession with their latest release called Potion for Man. The term "potion" refers to the esoteric art of the love potion, although the design label prefers to use it explicitly in reference to the art of seduction dubbing their new perfume for men, "the scent of seduction." This is of course nothing earth-shatteringly new. In fact, it looks all trite, all by itself. But the fact that the word "potion" was chosen to sell the fragrance and is stamped on the bottle, shows something like a major focus and a confidence in their main idea....
