NEW Fall Fragrance Launch: Life Threads by La Prairie.

La Prairie debuts its next chapter in the fragrance story, a provocative portfolio of scents: Life Threads.

Deemed Silver, Gold, Platinum ($125 / 1.7 FL OZ EDP), Life Threads come together to represent the various roles, stories and threads of our life.

SILVER: a floral woody with notes of bergamot, tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, sandalwood, solar musk and peppery moss
GOLD: a spicy Oriental with notes of tangerine, plum, clove, pepper, cinnamon, rose, lily of the valley, cedarwood and vanilla
PLATINUM: an elegant and edgy chypre floral with notes of plum, violet leaf, jasmine, rose, leather, patchouli, vetiver and oakmoss

From scent to sound…Life Threads comes alive with a partnership with acclaimed NYC singer/songwriter Lucy Kaplansky, who penned a “Life Threads” song inspired by the fragrances and the emotions they evoke. You can experience true retail-tainment with Lucy’s in-store performances at select La Prairie doors nationwide, as she performs “Life Threads” and other hits. With the purchase of a Life Threads fragrance, you will get a signed Lucy Kaplansky CD. See www.lifethreads.com  for details on Lucy and retail-tainment events.

Inspired by entrepreneurial powerhouse Leslie Blodgett’s dynamic life, Leslie Blodgett Perfume Diaries is a limited edition fragrance collection, created exclusively for Sephora, that revisits and evokes pivotal moments in Leslie’s life. Having kept journals since she was a young girl, Leslie has captured the essence of every trip she has taken through the pages of her journals.

Bare Skin, the first scent in the series, is reminiscent of an experience during a trip to Mexico, where Leslie cart-wheeled fancy-free down a sunny beach while emanating true, unbridled joy. “When I have an experience, I like to have a scent behind it. Bare Skin, which is what Mexico reminds me of, is the way you feel when the sun is beating down on you during the day, but then you go out at night and you’re still sizzling from the warmth of the day which mingles with the night air and the music.”

By her own admission, Kim Kardashian’s debut fragrance has been a long time coming.

“When I was little, my sister Kourtney and I tried to make our own perfume by picking flowers and putting them in the blender, because that’s how we thought fragrances were made,” Kardashian said with a laugh during a phone interview Tuesday. “Our parents thought we were crazy — and it smelled totally gross!”

She’s come a long way since throwing jasmine in a blender: her first fragrance, with Lighthouse Beauty, is due in February.

Want to know what’s Marta’s signature fragrance: It’s Dolce & Gabbana The One. I experiment with many perfumes all the time, but this one feels ‘the one’ for Marta. People always tell me I smell so good and ask to know which perfume I’m wearing. This is why I’m excited about Dolce & Gabbana’s latest perfume addition to ‘the one’ family: Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One. I haven’t smelled it yet, so a trip to ULTA or Sephora is in the plans. The ad campaign starring Scarlett Johansson, isn’t she gorgeous!

Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One: a beautiful new epoch for Dolce&Gabbana the one. In a spirit of high romance, Dolce&Gabbana invites you to become part of a ravishing new chapter in the story of the one. Represented in the sensual form of screen goddess Scarlett Johansson, rose the one is warm, freshly alluring, a playful capturing of pure femininity.

Not great news for all the Prescriptives beauty junkies out there. Estée Lauder announced last week that it would close the global wholesale distribution of its Prescriptives brand by January 31, 2010. The brand plans to continue to sell online for United States shipping at www.prescriptives.com  to help service consumers for replenishment of key products, while inventory lasts. Prescriptives products are currently sold in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia.

“We believe that the difficult decision relating to Prescriptives will allow us to redirect our resources to key strategic imperatives where we see the highest growth potential,” said Fabrizio Freda, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Estée Lauder Companies. “Ultimately this action allows us to focus on those areas which we expect to benefit the Company, our shareholders and business partners. We intend to work closely with our retail partners and continue to communicate with our consumers to ensure a seamless transition.”
