Chanel No 5-Wang-Guangyi.jpg

I have been keeping track of some recent art on Chanel No5. Here is another Chinese example (see ceramics here) of the ease with which this symbol can be displaced and still be recognizable and arguably meaningful to people who come across such a painting...

Paris Hilton Sultry Santa Pitches Siren {Perfume Images & Adverts} {Celebrity Fragrance}

Paris-Hilton-Santa-Siren-B.jpgBeguiling: men will lust after you if you wear this fragrance

Paris Hilton visited Macy's in Glendale, California on December 3, 2009 to help boost the sales of her latest fragrance Siren. Always ready for a change of persona and ever the savvy attention-getter she donned a sexy Santa suit.

Even if it's a far cry from the gilded siren imagery of the original advert, it's still about Paris Hilton's chameleon ability to re-invent her appearance and make a photo call worthwhile for everyone onlooking.

A siren sometimes has to let her inner naughty elf come out...

Scarlett Johansson Replaces Gisele Bundchen as the Face of Dolce & Gabbana The One {Fragrance News} {Perfume Adverts} {Celebrity Scents}

johansson-The-One-Dolce.jpg
The winter shopping season 2009 sees a new advertising and spokesperson for Dolce & Gabbana The One previously advertised with model Gisèle Bündchen who is an expectant mother.

Scarlett Johansson was recently seen as the face of Dolce & Gabbana's new makeup line and of Rose The One, their first soliflore. She now appears bathed in the same champagne-rosé light as in the Rose adverts but wearing deep coral red lipstick on a golden brown background. The men's version of The One (see review) with Matthew McConaughey shows a similar background in the advert. It is used as a visual cue to help pair the duo.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Billboard in Paris Fall 2009 {Perfume Images & Adverts}

Le-Male-2009-Billboard-B.jpgAs part of the new Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male/Classique advertising campaign, a giant billboard purports to be a showstopper in the Paris landscape during the 2009 Holidays shopping season.

The advertising plays on the ambiguity of a masculine image that is appealing to the gay community for its Querelle de Brest reference but is shown in the TV commercial to be heterosexual.

Coco Chanel Travels in Dream to Shanghai, Sprays No5 {Perfume Images & Ads}


paris-shanghai-chanel.jpgEnsconced in the short 20 mn film signed Karl Lagerfeld called Paris-Shanghai: The Trip that Coco Chanel Only Made in her Dreams is a brief scene with the No5... in 1960s Maoist China.

The story goes back in time evolving through the decades like a series of animated fashion plates to show some of the sources of inspiration for the Chanel Paris-Shanghai 2010 collection which debuted in Shanghai on December 3. As usual, Karl Lagerfeld throws barbs at Coco, relishing in showing her flaws and weaknesses,

- "You made this?"

- "Yyyyes"...

Demi Moore is Launching YouTube Video Contest: What do You Want in a Man or a Woman?


Demi-Moore-Wanted-man.jpg
On the occasion of the launch of Wanted by Helena Rubinstein (see my review), spokesperson Demi Moore who is a fervent twitterer and is internet smart has come up with the idea of organizing a YouTube video contest.

She has already pitched in with her own video which looks like any other video shot with a cam recorder. Talk about a new vogue of internet aesthetics! How more real could she get? Maybe if she had just showered and was doing the pitch in a frayed bathrobe, that might do the trick?

"As Demi named this fragrance "WANTED", she is ready and willing to hear what people have to say about what they really want in a man or woman.  She is asking people to create a short video telling her just that.  She is watching every video to get an understanding of what people are looking for in their significant other. "...
