Queen Latifah

It’s not just Mariah Carey and Gwen Stefani from the music world who takes a great interest in fragrances. Guess who is joining them? It’s no other than rapper, singer, and actress Queen Latifah! Parlux Fragrances, Inc announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement to launch the first fragrance from Queen Latifah. Her fragrance is set to launch in the U.S. in the Fall 2009 and internationally after.

Queen Latifah is a woman who is suitable to launch a fragrance because of her philosophy. According to her “I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: scent expresses a woman's confidence and sensuality; it's how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength."

audrey tautou

I’m wondering what Nicole Kidman might be feeling now that she has been replaced as the face of Chanel No. 5 perfume.
Taking her place is the attractive 29-year-old French actress Audrey Tautou. You might have seen her before in the movie 'The Da Vinci Code'. With this important step, she will be lined up with icons who have modeled for Chanel No. 5 like Marilyn Monroe and Catherine Deneuve.

Where Nicole is blonde, Audrey on the other hand is a brunette. It’s a totally marked difference once the new commercial for the said perfume is launched. Anyway, both ladies are attractive in their own right, no doubt about it.

harajuku lovers

Gwen Stefani is a very busy bee. This time she is spending most her time preparing for new hew line of fragrance. By September of this year, there will be five new fragrances from Gwen Stefani, in partnership with Coty fragrances. I admire her unique sense of style that is why I think the name of her new line of fragrance is quite unique. Gwen calls it the Harajuku Lovers Collection as inspired by her and her backup dancers/singers namely Love, Angel, Music, and Baby.

The Harajuku Lovers collection will have lovely and bright bottles in the shape of dolls. You have to check them out because each of the five scents reflects the traits of the person it represents from the Harajuku Lovers. The price, I think, is affordable ranging from $40 to $60. It’s going to be another line of interesting fragrances. If you feel the same be sure to check them out soon at Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s and Sephora.

Justine Timberlake and Givenchy

I noticed that most perfume endorsements use female celebrities. But I think that’s all about to change because a male celebrity joins the line-up in perfume endorsement. He’s someone you all know about. Justine Timberlake is the new endorser for Givenchy fragrance for men. Justine will be the counterpart of Liv Tyler, who is also the face of the Givenchy fragrance for women. Justine’s fans all over the world will be glad to know that the brand will be releasing its new line of perfume this year.

curious heart

Despite being in another turbulent moment in her life, Britney Spears’ fragrance is out for a new promotion. A limited edition of her famous “Curious” scent came out this January. The limited edition of Curious Heart Britney Spears is just something that teens would love to have. And truth be told, aside from being connected to Britney’s name the bottle itself is quite cool. The packaging is really fit for teens with its pink multi-faceted glass silhouette. And on the rim of the bottle you’ll immediately see the assortment of tiny hearts and flowers. On the middle portion are the hearts with wings spread wide. I especially like the magenta atomizer it has. When I was a child I was fascinated by perfumes that make use of atomizers.

Dior’s J’adore

As humans we are really endowed with senses that we should use to our advantage. The sense of smell in particular is very important, for me anyway since I adore scents! You’ll probably say that’s typical in a woman. Well scents add spice to life. Just imagine what life would be like if we cannot distinguish the different aromas wafting in the air. And it would be a great loss if we can’t experience a perfume like this J’adore Eau de Parfum from Dior, a perfume that’s truly an embodiment of pure femininity. Its scent exudes fruity and floral boquet that will make you think of magnificent and mysterious things.

Possibilities by Ann Taylor

Aside from America’s Next Top Model TV series, one of the reality shows that drew millions of viewers was Project Runway. PR’s previous season had ended way back and now its 4th season is ready to begin with Heidi Klum as host and with fellow judges, designer Michael Kor and Nina Garcia of Elle Magazine. In this season’s fashion competition, 15 contestants will vie for the first prize. 12 of these contestants will be eliminated from the competition and so only 3 will remain and will be able to participate in the New York Fashion Week. The big winner will receive $100,000 in order to start his or her own fashion line.

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.

Angel Caprice de Star

Shoppers usually base their decisions on what they see that is why in all products excellent packaging is very important. The image of that specific product is what will make the shopper gravitate towards it and check out what it has to offer. Well, correct me if I’m wrong of course. But this is what happened when I saw this Angel Caprice de Star perfume made by Thierry Mugler. The bottle itself is really unique, really shaped like a star from the base of the bottle up to its cap. It makes me think of the perfectly shaped star you put on top the Christmas tree every Christmas. Oh, what nostalgia! And speaking of nostalgia, Angel Caprice de Star will bring back childhood memories to you with its essence.

Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom

I know a lot of girls love floral fragrances; I’m one of them actually. I just can’t get enough of the sweet and flowery scent. So when I saw this Euphoria Blossom from Calvin Klein I simply couldn’t resist. The word Euphoria and Blossom made into one product is sure to bring about a great feeling of well-being, inspiration and all good vibes straight from nature. Euphoria Blossom gets inspiration from the fragile quality of a flower coming into its full bloom. Giving it its impression of sparkling freshness and vivacity are pomegranate, dewy green accord, zesty kumquat, orchid, pink peony, blossom, amber and sheer musks.

Vera Wang Fragrance

Dreaming is free and it is for everyone. In dreams we can be anyone or anything that we want to be, even be a prince or princess if we want to. Uugghh…Reality always bites. Want to stay in the princess fantasy longer? Do so with the Vera Wang’s Princess perfume. This particular fragrance was created for women who embody playfulness and independence, in short, the adventurous women. The combined flavors make this fragrance sheer and tropical in nature, definitely delicious if I may say so.

Jennifer Hudson

New endorsement contracts are getting signed everyday between big companies and celebrities. Previously, H&M signed up Madonna followed by pop superstar Kylie Minogue as endorsers of some of the clothing line. Well this time the big thing is with Avon signing up “Dreamgirls” singer-actress Jennifer Hudson to be the spokeswoman of the Imari line’s new scent.

Avon the world’s largest direct seller of cosmetics will release the new line Imari Seduction in August. This new fragrance line is a fruity oriental type with flavors of plum and purple orchid, vanilla, amber and musk.

Michael Kors

Yearning to experience the tropical atmosphere but do not have the means to get there? The how about the next best thing, like acquiring a fragrance that closely resembles the atmosphere of the place that you yearn for the most? Like the summery scent of Hawaii. Since summer is just around the corner the Michael Kors Hawaii Eau de Parfum will be quite perfect.
