The luxury fashion brand introduces its first women’s fragrance with this artistic Bruce Weber film starring Nine D’Urso, daughter of Ines De La Fressange.
Bottega Veneta, the luxury leather manufacturer has unveiled their first fragrance, conceptualized by Thomas Maier, the creative director at Bottega in collaboration with Coty Prestige.
Maier explains his inspiration for the project as a mental picture of a “room with old wood floors, library walls and leather-bound books with the windows open wide, the breeze coming in and cut grass, hay, moss, garden flowers, growing through the room and everything mixing up”.
The result is an alluring blend of oak moss, Brazilian pink peppercorns, Indian jasmine sambac, Indian patchouli and Italian bergamot. All these special scents are captured in elegant bottles made by Murano glassmakers.
The perfume will only be found in one of the 165 Bottega Veneta boutiques around the world, at 395 $ (about 275 €) for 3 oz, along with other beauty products will be available together with the new fragrance are body lotions, body creams and shower gels.
For the ad campaign, Bottega Veneta chose the image of Nine d’Urso, the eldest daughter of Inés de la Fressange, the renowned French fashion icon. “I chose Nine to introduce this fragrance because there is something classically elegant about her, yet she is totally modern. She conveys a sense of heritage worn lightly but with respect”, Maier said. The pictures of young Nine for the fragrance campaign will be taken by Bruce Weber. On July 17 the first launch of the new fragrance will take place at Harrods.

There are more and more fragrances created especially for summer, as limited summer editions. Whether these fragrances are the best solutions for summer, the market and consumers will answer. The consumers rate each fragrance by quality, longevity, uniqueness and personal inclination for designers.
It is difficult to answer this question. Summertime asks for lighter notes to refresh us and to accompany us in summer days and evenings. Relaxing notes of aromatic and citrusy compositions are an excellent choice for summer temperatures, as well as aquatic versions leaving a pleasant trace. Men can choose between aromatic, green and aquatic notes with a bit of sweetness and sexy spices.
Summary: Summer Fragrances are lighter and fresher and should be stored in a dark and cool place. Do not apply the perfume on the clothes as it may get stained. Also do not apply too much of perfume. The most popular summer perfumes are citrus based scents that chill the skin or floral perfumes which make you smell like blossomed flowers.
Eva Mendes is delighted to be the new face of Thierry Mugler’s Angel fragrance because she ”grew up” with the scent which she associates with femininity.
Eva Mendes “grew up” with Thierry Mugler’s Angel.
The 37-year-old actress is delighted to be fronting the new advertising campaigns for the 19-year-old perfume – which will be joined by an eau de toilette version in August – because she has always associated it with femininity.
She explained: “I grew up with Angel. I remember thinking, as a child, ‘That’s what a woman smells like.’ I’m the baby in my family by 10 years, and my sisters wore it. It comes full circle now that I’d be the face of Angel.”
Eva was chosen to front the campaign because of her versatility.
Joel Palix, president of Clarins Fragrance Group and director general of the Mugler company, explained: “Eva can be demure one minute and sensual the next.”
The ‘Hitch’ actress also admitted she would consider releasing her own fragrance – but only if there was a good reason to do so.
She told WWD: “I’m Cuban, and it is a rite of passage to be doused in Les Violetas, a baby perfume, whether you like it or no.
“I tend to not jump into things right away, unless I have an emotional connection to it. People can really sense whether or not something is authentic. When you’re just slapping your name on something, it shows.”

It is a personal gift straight from his heart, giving fans a chance to get one step closer to Justin. It’s a fragrance he can’t get enough of and can’t stay away from, making those who wear it irresistible.
Kirsten Dunst has been named as the new face of Bulgari’s new women’s fragrance.
The ‘Marie Antoinette’ star will make a guest appearance at the launch of the Mon Jasmin Noir scent at a Mediterranean Eden themed party during Milan Fashion Week later this month.
In addition to launching the perfume, the party will also preview the Italian fashion house’s new collection of 2011-2012 accessories.
Kirsten, 28, is no stranger to the fashion world, having previously appeared as the face of fellow Italian range Miu Miu, although she was later dropped for French beauty Vanessa Paradis.
She initially replaced troubled actress Lindsay Lohan in the job. She has also appeared in campaigns for geek label Band Of Outsiders, sold at Joseph and London’s Dover Street Market.
Despite her beauty, Kristen is best known for her private life – she has previously dated Jake Gyllenhaal and British musician Johnny Borrell from Razorlight, and she was treated for depression in early 2008.
Summary: Kirstin Dunst is reported to be the new face of Bulgari’s forthcoming women’s fragrance, Mon Jasmin Noir.
Kirsten is set to make an appearance as guest of honor at the launch of the new perfume during Milan Fashion Week.
The event will be a Mediterranean Eden-themed party held at the Bulgari hotel in Milan on February 25, where Kirsten will be introduced as its new face, alongside a preview of the brand’s jewelry and accessories collection for autumn/winter 2011-12.
Mon Jasmin Noir is due for international release in April.
Kirsten, who is known for her great style sense, was spotted wearing an orange lip color and gold barrette at a Bulgari party last month.
And now, she’s just inked a deal with the brand. Starting this April, Kirsten will be the face of Bulgari’s new scent, Mon Jasmin Noir.
No details on what the juice will smell like — except for the obvious note of jasmine — but perhaps it will be a nod to the brand’s sensual scent Jasmin Noir ($25 to $68).
What do you think of this latest celebrity spokesperson announcement?
Purr by Katy Perry eau de parfum begins with the aroma of peach nectar and forbidden apple, evolves with a distinct floral bouquet of jasmine blossom, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid, and slowly reveals accents of creamy sandalwood and musk.
Like the singer herself, Purr is playful yet sophisticated. Katy Perry transcends barriers with her music—so does her new fragrance.
Summary: I am not usually a fan of star inspired perfume, they usually tend to be more marketing than substance, but this new scent by Katy Perry has both the cutest bottle ever with the cat and its charm necklace and the scent is complex and romantic.
I normally separate my fragrances by season either summer or winter, and this is a winter fragrance for me. The scent is a strong rose and vanilla at first, but will mellow to jasmin with spice- the description says sandalwood and musk.
A little goes a long way, so the price for the fragrance makes it appealing as well.
I recommend this perfume if you like fragrances that have a bold floral (rose/jasmin) and vanilla/cinnamon (spice) top note with a floral/spice body which lasts well.
Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has just announced her third fragrance arrived to stores August 2010! Capturing elegance in it’s simplest form, introducing Reveal by Halle Berry perfume for women!
This new woody-floral reveals a luxurious blend of exotic fruits and summer floral that entail secrets of modernity. Berry says, “I had an understanding of a direction I wanted it to go.
With each one, the goal is to make them different, yet the same in that it’s reflective of who I am. I wanted this one to be a little more floral, but the inspiration was still about keeping it classic and easy.” She continued, “I’m a mother now [daughter Nahla is 2], and when you become a parent, you just look at the world a little bit differently.” (See)
Reveal perfume begins with tantalizing top notes of red berries, peach, mimosa and honeydew melon that accentuate a heart of decadent florals of plumeria flower, iris blossom and neroli petals.
Its bottom notes express an aromatic diffusion of vetiver, cashmere wood and skin musk, exploiting this lingering fragrance as captivating. Since Halle Berry is no stranger to the fragrance world, it’s no wonder she can develop such a sexy fragrance aimed towards all women.
Her second fragrance, Pure Orchid, was this years #1 best seller for January and February, and #3 in March. According to Women’s Wear Daily, there’s even talk about a fourth fragrance!
Steve Mormoris of Coty Beauty commented, “In the case of celebrity fragrances, I think they work best when they truly are a creation of the celebrity who has the intrinsic talent for creating, Halle is an actress and a very emotional person — she loves art and beauty, and she’s a great creator.”
Mormoris added that Berry’s fragrances “resonate with the consumer much more than we thought…we are double in size what we thought [we would do with the fragrances.]“
Created by Richard Herpin of Firmenich and bottle design by Jane Tarallo, Reveal for women will be available in a 1 oz and 1.7 oz eau de parfum spray. Accompanying body products including a 6.7 body lotion and 75 ml deodorant natural spray. Reveals unique bottle shape has a glamourous yet, reserved feel; decorated and wrapped within a gold ambiance. Reveal yourself this Fall…
Halle’s final comment about Reveal reflects on how motherhood has greatly influenced this fantastic fragrance: “[Motherhood] challenges me and makes me question myself and who I really am all the time.
So for this [fragrance and campaign] to come along at this time in life just seemed kind of like it goes together. This is a part of expressing who I really am — for the good and the bad, it’s about being comfortable with myself as a woman, and sharing secret parts of myself.”
The complete Halle Berry fragrance collection includes Halle, Pure Orchid, and now, Reveal. (Buy now)
