Lindsay Lohan fragrance, just a rumour?
2007-10-19 01:18:00
It is said Lindsay Lohan told gossips at a party in Hollywood on Tuesday night she’s in talks with beauty giants Coty to bring out her own fragrance.The giants already market celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria and David Beckham’s scents. But could Lindsay’s scent be the next celebrity fragrance that will come out? If you didn’t guess already, perfume manufacturers refused to confirm or deny Lindsay’s claims, saying only: “We don’t comment on rumour s”. Lohan’s representatives neither confirm nor deny the news.Come to think about, the events sounds familiar as a few months ago Lindsay Lohan claimed she is the next face of Chanel and at that time, Chanel representatives also denied the rumour.It is obviously that Lindsay Lohan wants to join Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears, into the perfume business but first she will have to take care of her reputation which suffered a lot recently.


Keira Knightley bares all for Chanel
2007-10-17 01:18:00
As she would be the first to admit, Keira Knightley is not exactly famous for her hour-glass figure.But her latest role - which sees her posing virtually naked to advertise a perfume - makes her look subtly different.Despite the presence of a carefully-placed bowler hat, the 22-year-old actress appears to be just that tiny bit curvier.It's certainly a different image from that presented in such hit films as Pride And Prejudice and the Pirates Of The Caribbean series.Ever since she appeared in a sports bra as a 17-year-old in Bend It Like Beckham, the waiflike actress has done nothing to disguise her lack of cleavage.She once spoke her dislike of her chest, saying: "I don't have any t***, so I can't show cleavage."That's not always something the Hollywood publicity machine has been happy about.While the British posters for her 2004 film King Arthur displayed her natural boyish look, the American ones were a different story.by chinadaily

Gucci Eau De Parfum II
2007-09-22 07:38:00
by sunnyDReview: I discovered this perfume 2 years ago whilst working in perfume retail and it is my all time favorite. Gucci Eau De Parfum II is a very soft perfume, I love it because it is very fresh without being citrus and not sickly sweet like many floral scents. Although it is very feminine it does remind me a little of Burberry Touch for Men, which I also like, but it doesn’t remind me of any other women’s perfumes. It works well with my skin chemistry but because it is very light I like to layer it with the matching body lotion. This scent is perfect for summer wear. I also think the bottle design is beautiful, although the heavy glass top is a little impractical. There is also a purse spray which is more user-friendly but less economic. I would recommend this scent to anyone who is looking for a unique, subtle fragrance.


Christian Dior Fahrenheit 32 ~ fragrance review
2007-07-26 07:55:00
Fahrenheit 32 is the creation of Hedi Slimane (Christian Dior's former artistic director), perfumer Louise Turner, and François Demachy, current director of perfume development at Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy. Fahrenheit 32 is described as a “fresh oriental” and its main ingredients are orange blossom, vetiver and vanilla — with added “fresh notes,” a “solar note” and aldehydes. The only similarity between “original” Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit 32 is the shape of their bottles, so judge Fahrenheit 32 on its own merits. If Fahrenheit was about ‘heat’, Fahrenheit 32, with its name (the temperature at which water freezes), packaging (frosty white and metallic) and advertisements (featuring high altitudes) seems to proclaim its “coolness” — while using rather “warm” ingredients. Fahrenheit 32’s opening is indeed fresh (ozonic) — if a little artificial smelling; a powdery-sweet candy note peeps in quickly and then disappears. The orange blossom in Fahrenhe

The Most Common Perfume Application Mistakes
2007-04-17 22:06:00
Quick TipBelieve it or not, there is an art to applying perfume and mistakes are made every day. If you want to enjoy your fragrance and more importantly, not have everyone moving away from you because of these common mistakes, here is my guideline.-Less is always more. If you are attending a function with a lot of people, you will likely be competing with several other fragrances that are floating around the room. A light spray of scent on a cotton ball that is applied to one of your pulse points is usually enough.If you apply scent to your inner wrists, do not rub them together as this can change the scent noticeably.-Never spray the perfume into your hair. It can react to hair products that you are using with disastrous results. I made this mistake just once. Suddenly it seemed as if I had poured the entire bottle over my head.By the end of the night, I disliked the scent intensely.-Always consider the temperature around you when applying perfume. For travel purposes, this is very i

I'd come across a few magazine samples of DKNY Be Delicious - you know, the foldout bits you rub your wrists on! - and thought 'ooh, this smells good!'So when my boyfriend was bugging me about what christmas pressies I wanted, this perfume was a good choice.The packaging is lovely - comes in a nice littel box - and the metal and glass bottle the perfume is in is gorgeous - looks really smart and modern.The actual perfume lasts a really long time - if I put it on in the morning, although it's faded a bit by the evening, it's definitely still there.It's a citrussy fragrance - not overly heavy or sweet - but light, fresh and young.review by geeekchic

Gucci pour Homme by Gucci (2003)
2006-11-23 05:12:00
Tom Ford wanted this scent to be like the classic men's fragrances of the seventies, and with notes of spices, woods, amber and leather - he may well be on the mark.Gucci pour Homme Fragrance NotesTop NotesWhite Pepper, Ginger, Pink Bay,Middle NotesPapyrus Wood, Orris Rhizome,Base NotesAmber, Leather, Vetiver, Olibanum,new nighttime/formal staple for men, but this one's so good I'm tempted to start using it as a casual curveball and during the day - a rainy, cold, steel-gray day would be perfect.Gucci PH is an unmitigated triumph. I was shocked that it was such a recent release, though it's original enough in its composition with the requisite creative touches to SUGGEST manly scents of decades gone by.I made a point in my Azzaro PH review that there isn't anything really new, but now the subconscious becomes obvious - "new" is a very relative measure indeed. The meditative frankincense, the bracing strength of the cedar, the verdant earthiness of the vetiver, the gourmand-inspire

Description of a perfume
2006-11-20 04:27:00
Perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils and aroma compounds, fixatives, and solvents used to give the human body, objects, and living spaces a pleasant smell. The amount and type of solvent mix with the fragrance oil dictates whether a perfume is considered a perfume extract, Eau de parfum, Eau de toilette, or Eau de Cologne.It is impossible to describe a perfume according to its components because the formulas are kept secret. Even if the formulas are known, the ingredients are often too numerous to provide a useful classification. Cognoscenti can, however, generally get a handle on the principal ingredients. On the other hand, it is possible to group perfumes into olfactive families and describe them through the notes that appear as they slowly evaporate. Perfumes can also be classified according to their concentration.Olfactive familiesFragrances can be classified into several olfactive families, by the themes, or accords, of these fragrances.Floral: Fragrances that are domi


Perfume Background&History
2006-11-20 04:17:00
Background Since the beginning of recorded history, humans have attempted to mask or enhance their own odor by using perfume, which emulates nature's pleasant smells. Many natural and man-made materials have been used to make perfume to apply to the skin and clothing, to put in cleaners and cosmetics, or to scent the air. Because of differences in body chemistry, temperature, and body odors, no perfume will smell exactly the same on any two people.Perfume comes from the Latin "per" meaning "through" and "fumum," or "smoke." Many ancient perfumes were made by extracting natural oils from plants through pressing and steaming. The oil was then burned to scent the air. Today, most perfume is used to scent bar soaps. Some products are even perfumed with industrial odorants to mask unpleasant smells or to appear "unscented."While fragrant liquids used for the body are often considered perfume, true perfumes are defined as extracts or essences and contain a percentage of oil distilled in alc

Do's and Don'ts
2006-11-18 12:13:00
Do keep your fragrances safe from extreme cold or heat.Once a bottle of perfume is opened it should be used. Otherwise it will begin to fade or change its character with time. Long exposure to strong sunlight or extremes in temperature can disturb the delicate balance of the perfume and change its scent. Perfume, to last, should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct light, preferably in its beautiful box. Just as books must be read... records played...fragrances must be worn to be enjoyed!Do make it a rule never to try more than three scents at one time when you are shopping for a new fragrance. Your nose will lose its ability to tell the difference. Apply fragrance directly to the skin when you are testing new scents. You cannot get a true reaction to the fragrance from the bottle. Apply a few drops to your wrist. Allow the heat of the body to develop the fragrance on your skin and then sniff. If you would like to test one or two additional scents, apply one to the other wrist


Fragrance Tips
2006-11-18 11:56:00
1.Everyone has a personal "scent circle": approximately an arm's length from the body. No one should be aware of your fragrance unless he or she steps inside your "circle." Fragrance should be one of the most subtle, personal messages you send to those with whom you come in contact.2.For a long-lasting effect, fragrance should be layered all over the body, starting with toilet water or eau de parfum, next in strength to perfume, to build the fragrance foundation. Because fragrance rises, spray or smooth fragrance onto skin from the feet to the shoulders. If fragrance is applied only behind the ears, it will eventually rise and disappear.3.The wearer's diet can affect the way a fragrance smells and lasts on the skin. If the wearer is on a high fat, spicy diet, for example, fragrances will be more intense. A dramatic change in diet can alter skin chemistry, causing fragrances to smell differently4.Skin type will also affect the way a fragrance smells on a person. Fragrance wearers with

Fragrance Review: Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean Breeze
2008-06-04 02:04:15
Earlier this week, I was perusing the cosmetics department at Bloomingdales. I started chatting with a sales rep, and I asked him which brands he's into most these days. He listed off a few that didn't surprise me, and then he added, "And you know, Elizabeth Arden is making a big comeback."I was glad to hear him say this because I've been thinking the same thing. For the longest time, I felt like
