Faith Hill to Launch First Fragrance

Faith Hill’s new perfume is scheduled to launch in October 2009 in coolobrotaion with Coty Inc.

“I’m pretty picky when it comes to fragrance — I don’t wear a lot of it, and I haven’t worn a lot in the past. I wanted to be able to create this scent, to be involved with the lab, choosing the notes, and everything. Talk about an awakening as to how it’s all put together — the subtlety and difference that one drop can make. I wanted it to be clean and sensual, but last for a long time.”

David Yurman’s Must-Have Sensual Summer Scent

David Yurman Eau de Parfum was recently nominated for a 2009 Fifi Award in the Women’s Nouveau Niche category!

The juice is a linear formulation, meaning no group of notes of individual note stands out above the rest. This sumptuous scent is a floral chypre, which includes notes of mandarin, fresh green petals, cassis, peony, water lily, natural rose otto, patchouli, exotic woods and soft mask.

I’ve tried David Yurman Eau de Parfum and it is a very elegant, regal, sultry perfume, and I consider it a classic. I like to wear it when I go out for a nice dinner or a party. And I can even imagine a bride wearing it on her wedding day. If you are the adventurist type, day time is OK too because notes mellow down over time:)

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon for Avon

Reese Witherspoon is taking on a new role this fall — that of perfumer.

The Academy Award-winning actress has teamed up with Avon Products Inc. to launch her first fragrance, called In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon. While Witherspoon has spent the last two years serving as Avon’s global ambassador and brand spokeswoman, creating a fragrance marked something of a new endeavor for the 33-year-old.

“It was a unique experience for me because I had no idea what goes into making perfumes,” said Witherspoon, who sat down at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills last month to discuss her new scent. “I thought you just pick a fragrance and it’s easy. But there were all these different levels of creating a scent that were new to me, but really fun and exciting.”
