New Fragrance Launches : Guerlain
2008-02-25 09:14:00
After discussing the elusive scent of figs yesterday, I was surprised to open my issue of Cosmetic World and discover a mention of an interesting new launch from Guerlain . Figue-Iris was created by Jean-Paul Guerlain in collaboration with Sylvaine Delacourte, Guerlain's creative director. As Ms. Delacourte described in the article, "Today, fig is very well known and popular... I wanted to contrast it with something very chic." Figue-Iris combines the green freshness of fig with warm, powdery iris.Laurier-Réglisse was created by Firmenich's Marie Salamagne and it combines "the sweetness of licorice wood and the freshness of laurel with bergamot, orange blossom, violet, galbanum and amber." Both Figue-Iris and Laurier-Réglisse will be launching in April of 2008, priced at $52 for 4.2 oz.

What would you...
2008-01-09 01:22:00
“Hmmm, this is good, isn’t it?”, said the perfumer enthusiastically, nose wide open.“Well… that’s the one you showed me yesterday”, replied the W.-factor somewhat annoyed. He was wrong. “No!”, I go, “it may be somewhat close, though. You probably get the roses. Good, ain’t it?” the perfumer again.“Well… “, the W.-factor goes, “there is something about it, I do not get along with. It is for women.”“It is a chypre!”, the perfumer replied , somewhat disappointed already, and continues: “You do not like chypres, that’s it! I know. You did not appreciate Chypre by Coty. The gold standard! But imagine coming across this scent somewhere on the corridor! A woman wearing it passed by. You smell her perfume. This perfume! What would you do?”The perfumer w


Perfume of the Day
2008-01-02 08:20:00
Versace previous scents were very middle-of-the-road for me. I didn’t love, or hate them . All that changed with the release of Versaces Infusion. Versaces Perfume . It couldn’t be more different from the ambery richness of Versaces's original perfume. On application, there’s almost nothing. It takes about thirty seconds to warm to the skin, and start up with a clean floral/citrus topnote. It’s bright, it almost purrs, and eventually the benzoin (this note reminds me of Kenzo Flower), incense, and galbanum notes emerge. It’s more of a winter scent and I can see myself considering the fullsize at that time. It’s not a classic Iris scent, nor is it particularly similar to a recent perfume of the day, Equistrius. Available at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. At very low pri

Perfume In The News
2007-12-28 04:20:00
"I really like vanilla perfumes -- Covet has that vibe -- but couldn't wear them when I was engaged," she says. "I just broke up with my fiance. He didn't like me wearing Angel by Thierry Mugler Perfume , so I may go back to that." She touches up her pink lipstick in the mirror. "He was so controlling.""This smells like ... you know when you work out all day and have that really bad scent? Not exactly that, but maybe something more pungent."— Suzanne on Sarah Jessica Parker Covet and Joe on Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, respectively, from What It Takes To Drive Them Wild, an article in The National Post in which reporters plant themselves in the rest rooms of a Toronto nightclub and ask random passersby to test perfumes.


A New Opinion About The Body Shop: Vanilla, Eau De Toilette
2007-12-26 06:18:00
I very rarely go in The Body Shop. I used to back in the day when it was all the rage but now there's so much competition for them that to me the place is outdated and overpriced and although I love the concept and what they do I much prefer lush and ranges that are available in Boots at sometimes a lot less than The Body Shop.However, I was talking to my best mate Pink who is a mind of information who was enquiring if I was still single (I was worried she was on the turn or summat lol). Anyway she had a solution she reckoned. I thought oh know she ain't gonna try fix em up like I'm a saddo is she?! No. Her solution was to get me to go to The Body Shop and spend me pennies on this stuff.She has too much time on her hands and reads many magazines and in one there was an article about Vanill
