Elle’s Beauty Breakfast

Elle is hosting a panel discussion at Barneys next week called “The Mystery of Perfume” —apparently it’s fragrance week here at Fashionista. The theme of the event instantly made me think of the book Perfume, though I doubt a scent-driven murderer will be discussed at all. Though I highly recommend the novel. But fragrance and [...]

Behind the Valentino Scene

It’s easy, while flipping through magazines and seamlessly perfect luxury advertisements, to forget what kind of work goes into building such perfect little worlds. So here’s a peek behind the scenes of the shoot of Valentino’s latest fragrance ad starring a kohl-eyed Siri Tollerod, Erin Heatherton, Marloes Horst and a mirror. The song is, of [...]

Like I Love You?

Mr. Timberlake will be gracing our magazines come September in the ad campaigns for not one, but two Givenchy men’s fragrances: Play and Play Intense. The suits at LVMH told WWD that they were looking for a new face for fragrance that would be recognized around the world. “Most importantly, we needed to find a [...]

Solid Perfume: A Love Story

Until about a year ago, I didn’t give solid perfumes a second glance. Why would I pay $30 for a half-dollar sized tin of fragrance balm when I can get a full bottle for just $10 more? But then I stumbled across the quirky French fragrance brand Crazylibellule and the Poppies. One swipe of their [...]

Marc Makes a Spash (Again)

For some people, the first hint that spring is on its way is jumping ahead an hour for Daylight Savings. For others, it’s that first day you really contemplate busting out that sundress you ordered on Shopbop three months ago (we miss you already balmy Sunday). For me, I get ready to break out my [...]

Naomi and Mario Make a Commercial

The finishing touches are being added, as I type, to Naomi Campbell’s new fragrance commercial, recently shot by legendary photographer Mario Sorrenti in a London Studio. The ad is said to be a new look for the supermodel who already has an impressive seven fragrances under her belt, all mostly released in Europe. The name [...]

Narciso, Encore

Alongside information that the Narciso Rodriguez company has grown 20% every year except 2008 in today’s WWD, was a much more pleasant piece of info, too: Narciso’s launching a new fragrance this January. His only women’s fragrance, Narciso Rodriguez for Her (there’s also a Narciso Rodriguez for Men) will be a tough act to follow [...]

Jil Sander Smells

Jil Sander’s launching a new fragrance for fall. Scent 79, for both men and women, will debut stateside exclusively at Neiman Marcus in November, (it’s been available in Europe for almost a year). It’s allegedly crafted “like haute-couture clothing,” combining notes of peach and cranberry with base notes of leather, wood and musk. The minimalist [...]

Rumor Mill: Kirsten + Guinevere + Agyness = CK One Ad?

Are you sitting down? Because what we just heard might knock you off your wedges: 1. Calvin Klein is re-releasing Ck One, presumably to pick up on the 90′s vibe everybody’s really feeling now post-The Wackness. 2. And, instead of getting Kate and Marky Mark to pose topless, they’re getting 90′s favorite Kirsten Owen, who’s [...]

Stephen Jones Fragrance Out

When we heard last Fall that Stephen Jones was collaborating with Rei Kawakubo to make his own fragrance, our reaction was kind of like, “Oh boy.” But WWD has the results of the project this morning, and we have to say, it looks rather special. The bottle has a certain heft in its look that [...]
