Marlene Dietrich Parfums Grès Collection: More Info on the Cult of the Dead {New Perfumes} {Scented Images}

Parfums Grès Colletcion.jpg

We previously reported on the new collection by Grès which features a trio of perfumes dedicated to the memory of Marlene Dietrich. They illustrate yet another sub-category of celebs fragrances (see also WAGs' fragrances), the posthumous celebrity fragrances, also an angle explored by the new Dior Passage collection which combines homages to living and dead celebrities.

If we were wondering whether perfume has become completely separated from its religious roots, the answer would be a resounding "no". Just like incense used to be burned to deities and unfurl in the sky to communicate with the divine in ancient times, perfume flacons are now more than ever being filled with juices that waft more or less subtly towards a pantheon of celebrities who have passed away.......

Davidoff Adventure TV Spot with Ewan McGregor {Scented Images}

You can check a previous post about the Davidoff Adventure cologne and ad print here. This is the TV commercial directed by Seb Edwards and shot in Brazil. McGregor said at a press conference about his love of adventure and motorbiking that, "There's something that appeals to the little boy in us to go out and not wash for weeks," [...]"You have no responsibilities except to have petrol in the tank and a vague idea of where you're going."(quote via Women's Wear Daily)

Kelly Brook Eau de Toilette.jpg

We already reported on the new Kelly Brook fragrance here. The launch took place today at Superdrug in London and since it is a celebrity perfume it is hard to dissociate it from the form of the inspirer, Kelly Brook the woman........

New Stetson Original Ad with Tom Brady {Scented Image} {Celebrity Fragrance} {Fragrance News}

Tom Brady Original Stetson Ad2.jpg

We have some great pictures to show you today, thanks to Coty who just released the much anticipated new advertisement for Stetson Original fronted by Tom Brady.

Interestingly, the photographer captured a somewhat melancholy (yet seductive) air on Tom Brady's features, which might be a smart move and be interpreted as a diplomatic gesture extended to that part of the potential audience for Stetson Original and followers of celebrity gossip news who resent his escapades. See our previous post here that elicited some strongly worded comments regarding Brady's private life. Another pic here taken from behind the scenes of the shoots at a farm in California.

Tom Brady seems to be saying in the new ad "I know what you think of me, I am not that proud about it myself........but hey, it's not going to keep me down for ever. Life may be confusing sometimes, but it's still good at the core."

And here is the full spread......

Can Can by Paris Hilton: The Ad {Scented Image} {New Perfume}

Paris Hilton Can Can Ad.jpg

OMG!! I can't close my jaw I am so stupefied by the kitschy character of the advert for the new Paris Hilton Can Can! Actually I finally managed to, but I am still experiencing a cramp of disbelief in my jaw muscles.

This is her 4th women's fragrance (she also released at least one men's fragrance) and this time the aesthetics for the promotion images seem to be a cross between the universes of a beauty contest show for little girls + Valentine Day Chocolate box + Moulin Rouge as seen through a touristy snow ball + a Barbie doll package......

Hugo Boss XY & XX Human Nature Video {Scented Images} {New Perfumes} {Free Samples}

 

XY XX Hugo Boss.jpg

 
As previously announced, Hugo Boss is launching a duo of perfumes called XY and XX. The advertising campaign is in full gear and you are now invited to watch the short movie accompanying the perfumes on YouTube (not the commercial with Jonathan Rhys Meyer). Honestly, we initially thought it was a spoof, but the PR representative confirmed to us that it was part of their campaign. It is a parody of the early nature shows, say in the style of the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom series......

The Ruby-Red Shoe & The Cobra at Harrods {Unscented Yet Cool}

The British have a reputation of eccentricity to defend and they just did that very well. What better way, one must acknowledge even genius way, of guarding a pair of bejeweled haute couture shoes but to hire a flesh-and-blood cobra to do the job?......

Les Sept Parfums Capitaux by Jovoy 
 
Jovoy Paris, a Parisian perfume house from the Roaring Twenties that has recently been resurrected by a trio that includes a sister, brother, and a cousin: François Henin, Henri de Pierrefeu, and Marie-Laure de Rodellec, has launched a series of 7 perfumes called Les Sept Parfums Capitaux in a humorous reference to the Seven Deadly Sins. It also means "the seven very important perfumes" as "capital" in French means "very important" or "critical".

Jovoy was initially founded by a woman, Blanche Arvoy in 1923, and lasted into the 1960s then experienced an eclipse although it met with great success in the US in the post World War II period under a different brand name, Corday, in particular with its set of 3 fragrances called Tzigane, Jet, and Fame that were available in samples put together in the shape of a street gas lamp as found on the rue de la Paix in Paris where the Jovoy headquarters were........
