Dead Ringer

An American company is formulating a line of fragrances. The range, called Antiquity, is based on the DNA of dead celebrities including Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe and even Michael Jackson.
The company, which also makes individualized scents based on a customer’s cheek swab, says it’s using hair clippings provided by celebrity hair collector John [...]


Singing Scent

WWD has reported that in Spring 2010, Beyonce will be releasing her won fragrance, after signing a deal with Coty.
“For me, fragrance reflects a woman’s attitude and unique sense of style. While I love various perfumes, I haven’t found a scent that truly personifies me as a woman. Working with Coty, I was able to [...]


UFO

Can you guess what this is? There’s a clue in the bottom left corner – ‘Kenzo’. Yes, this strange object is in fact a perfume bottle.
The limited edition bottle is for Keno’s new fragrance UFO (Unidentified Fragrance Object) and there are only 1,000 in existence. Ron Arad, who also has an exhibit at MoMA in [...]


No Go

Beauty and fashion star of the moment, actress Emma Watson, has made her views on celebrity fragrances and fashion houses be known in an interview with WWD.

Black Out

Black Afgano is created by Nasomatto, headed by [...]


On My Knees, Lola

I’m a sucker for a snazzy perfume bottle. For the past year, John Galliano’s scent has been my weapon of choice. The bottle is an intrinsic and beautiful design which I am proud to stand on the bathroom shelf, lucky for me it also smells incredible.
I think that it may have a new contender for [...]


Staying Power

Perfume isn’t the most affordable beauty product, particularly if you choose good blends and quality names. So, it makes sense that you want the fragrance you spritz yourself with to last a bit longer than the time it takes to put your makeup on. Most of us think that the more you spray the longer [...]


Work and Play

I am obsessed with candles; I love how lighting a candle can completely change the mood in a room. Being fortunate enough to work from home means that I can often light up a candle and use the aroma to change my attitude. Here are my favourite scented candles for working and why…

Icon

Audrey Tatou has been chosen as the face for the iconic perfume Chanel No.5; I think she fits the bill perfectly with her classical looks and pretty, romantic style.
Here’s a short clip about why the director chose her for the role.


Perfume Snob

I hate to admit it, but I’m something of a snob when it comes to perfume. I almost always choose fragrances created by design houses – right now I own John Galliano, Narciso Rodriquez and Salvatore Feragamo. I also adore the scents created by the real parfumiers though they are always a little out of [...]
