The New Limited Edition Banana Republic Classic Perfume

Banana Republic is reintroducing a limited edition of it’s iconic fragrance: Classic.

I must say, Classic fragrance by Banana Republic is one of my favorite fragrances as well. Classic is so fresh and easy to wear, so I’m quite excited about the new Classic Limited Edition by Banana Republic.

How do you reinvent a classic? Banana Republic sought to answer this question by updating the brand’s iconic fragrance: Classic.

Launched in 1995, the unique, citrusy fragrance was an instant favorite. Now loyal fans of the fragrance and newcomers alike will have the opportunity to experience a more sensual, intense, feminine twist on the essential scent.

As part of Banana Republic’s celebration of its 30th Anniversary, the beloved Classic fragrance has evolved into a more sophisticated scent. For the first time, Classic is formulated as an Eau de Parfum rather than an Eau de Toilette, creating a stronger, richer scent with higher fragrance concentration. Moreover, without changing any of the scent’s core notes, Banana Republic has brightened and freshened the fragrance by rebalancing the top and mid notes. The new Limited Edition Classic is formulated with increased cedarwood and teak wood notes to add body.

The original Classic packaging is redesigned with an elegant BR monogram grid on the back, housing the revamped fragrance in a modern, feminine bottle.

The new Classic is infused with the same crisp notes as the original: TOP NOTES: bergamot, grapefruit zest, mandarin citrus, and green leafy notes. MID NOTES: lavender, honeysuckle, silver sage and syringa flower. DRYDOWN: cedar wood, ginger, musk and teak wood.

Limited Edition Classic is $48.00 for 100mL. The fragrance is available online at www.bananarepublic.com and in Banana Republic stores nationwide for a limited time only, from August-December 2008.

Patrick Dempsey Unveils his New Fragrance Unscripted with Avon

Avon Products, Inc. announced yesterday the debut of Patrick Dempsey Unscripted, the signature men’s fragrance the company created with award-winning actor Patrick Dempsey.

The unveiling of the fragrance took place at an exclusive cocktail party hosted by Avon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Jung at The Skyloft Penthouse in Tribeca.

The fragrance tagline, “Follow Your Passion,” captures the true essence of Patrick and his belief that each individual should develop and write their own script for life. Patrick Dempsey Unscripted will launch in November of 2008 in the U.S., with a global launch following in 2009.

Dempsey played a leading role in the development of Patrick Dempsey Unscripted and was intimately involved with the concept, name, package and olfactive notes. The end result is a true reflection of the man behind the fragrance. The partnership felt like a natural fit to Patrick as his wife, Jillian Dempsey, has worked with Avon as the company’s Global Creative Color Director for the past two years.

“Collaborating with Avon to create Unscripted has been such an exciting journey for me,” says Dempsey. “I enjoyed the opportunity to play a different creative role by working on this fragrance from start to finish. Unscripted is about loving what you do and doing it in your own unique way.”
