Shiloh…an unusual name right? And one that’s full of controversy. All people in the world know that this is the name of Angelina Jolie’s and Brad Pitt’s baby. But aside from being a baby’s name, Shiloh will be the name of an upcoming fragrance made by Symine Salimpour and her company Hors La Monde. A few months back Angelina filed a notice of opposition in the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office in order to protect her baby’s name. But after 5 months of legal battle, Symine Salimpour can now proceed with the completion of “Shiloh” as Angelina discontinued the legal challenge.
After the Battle, Emerges “Shiloh”
Salimpour said that she started on this fragrance way back 2 years ago, even before Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt was born on May 27, 2006. However, her application for the Trademark did not happen until June 19, 2006. Salimpour chose the name because in Hebrew it means “his gift”. Since she has Israeli roots 5% of the sales profits will go to Israeli non-profit organization.
So after so much controversy, the question now is, would “Shiloh” fragrance be as spectacular as the legal battle it has undergone? How do you think it would smell like? Based on what I’ve read it’s going to be a heady scent with notes of cedar wood, patchouli, trace of citrus and rose petals. But I’m sure there’s more to that. We’ll see about that later this year when Eau de “Shiloh” hits the market.
