Justin Bieber to Unveil Perfume

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

As if nail polish wasn't enough. Justin Bieber is launching his own fragrance. The "Baby" singer, who recently revealed plans to sell his own line of dolls, is teaming up with Etoile Nation Beauty to create wristbands and dog tags imbedded with a unisex fragrance and said he has been involved in choosing the new scent. 

"They actually brought me a bunch of stuff to smell today. One of them smelled too young, too fruity. One was really good," he told WWD.

The new perfume will be priced at $10 and is described as having "a combination of top notes of bergamot, lychee and pomegranate, a heart of cedar glimmers and a dry down of musk."

"This Justin Bieber juggernaut is never going to end. Justin is a total grassroots phenomenon," said Etoile Nation Beauty president Michael Ferrara. Michael thinks that the My World collection - which will feature four different designs including Icon, Energy, Tour and Web - will be successful because fans will be able to "to stack, mix and match, trade and take the scent on the go."

Which celebrity fragrance does Justin favor? "I actually like the Britney Spears perfume on girls. It smells good."

Tamara Mellon is to launch a Jimmy Choo fragrance.

The shoe tycoon is to launch the perfume next year after having signed a 12-year contract with Inter Parfums, the company responsible for the scents of fashion houses Burberry, Lanvin and Paul Smith. Rumors of a Jimmy Choo fragrance have been circulating within the fashion world for some time, and Mellon has made no secret of the fact that she believes that a perfume is an “integral part of the modern wardrobe.”

Jordin Sparks is launching her own affordable perfume. The 20-year-old singer has revealed she decided to create the scent titled Because of You, because she thinks celebrity perfumes are too expensive for ordinary fans.

“When I was starting this project, I really wanted it to be affordable. I looked at some other celebrity fragrances, and they were like $80. Even now, I look at a fragrance that’s $80, and I can’t bring myself to spend that much. In this economy especially, my fans deserve a high-quality, reasonably priced scent.”

The Sugababes are launching a fashion range.

The girl band - made up of Heidi Range, Jade Ewen and Amelle Berrabah - are bringing out their own clothing line hot on the heels of their perfume last month.

“We’ve just brought out our perfume and, yeah, we have something coming out soon, basically a fashion range. We’re excited about it! All the details will be confirmed soon,” Jade said.

The group recently launched three fragrances - Tempt, Tease and Touch - although insisted they weren’t a reflection of their personalities.

“There are three different scents, they are not specific to each of us but we thought as women you like to wear perfume for different occasions and for different times of the day, so we covered all areas,” Heidi said.

Amelle added, “We were really hands on with the development of these three scents.”

Actress Eva Longoria Parker thinks that her perfume is the perfect way to attract a man.

The Desperate Housewives star launched her debut fragrance, Eva by Eva Longoria, in April, and believes men all over the world will love the scent and want their partners to wear it all the time.

“I want him to devour the woman that’s smelling my fragrance. If he smells my fragrance he should jump on that woman.”

One man who is definitely impressed with the fragrance is Eva’s husband, basketball player Tony Parker: “He loves it. He also is not a very big fan of overpowering scents and so he loves it because this one is really light and subtle.”

Eva says she was keen to create the perfume - which blends citrus notes, jasmine, violet and amber - because she hadn’t worn fragrances for years as she was allergic to them. “I was always envious of my friends who could always wear all this perfume.so that’s when I decided to create Eva,” she said.

Gwen Stefani Struggled With Perfumes

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,

Singer-turned-fashion designer Gwen Stefani admits she found it hard to create five perfumes at once.

The No Doubt front woman, who already has own successful fashion line, L.A.M.B., is to release the Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Collection in November but says it was tough coming up with smells that would fit the different personalities.

“I think perfume, in general, is really quite challenging. It’s so abstract. And you like something right away, but then you wear it and you’re like, ‘Oh my god, it’s bugging me!’ I think doing five at once is even worse, especially knowing you have the personality of each girl that you’re trying to fit in the perfume and make it as true as possible to the personality of each name of the fragrance. So, yeah, it’s crazy. But it’s super fun. And it’s also the greed in me. I love being able to say, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got five new perfumes!’ And they all kind of work together. They’re all about being sweet and happy . I think they turned out really good this time.”

Gwen recently revealed she is surprised by how successful her fashion line has become, after launching it eight years ago: “I never thought it would turn out this good. I’m really spoiled. These jeans are as good as anything I have.”

Calvin Klein Launches New Brand

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,

Calvin Klein is to turn its CK One fragrance into a global lifestyle brand. The fashion house is keen to attract a younger customer base so will launch jeans, underwear and swimwear at more affordable prices, thought to be around 15 to 20 percent lower than Calvin Klein Jeans and Underwear.

“I think it could be bigger than CK Calvin Klein. CK is our bridge division in apparel and accessories, which we operate only in Europe and Asia at this time. By the price positioning of bridge, there is some limitation on how big that business can be. The focus and concept of ck one is young and sexy, and to some degree price-driven. The price points are lower than in bridge, and this is a global launch, which gives CK One the opportunity to be a much bigger business over time,” said Calvin Klein Inc’s president and CEO Tom Murry.

VIDEO: Taylor Momsen Sort of Fronts John Galliano Perfume

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News, Videos,

Gossip Girl star-turned-stripper-rocker Taylor Momsen was hired by John Galliano to front his perfume campaign for Parlez-Moi D’Amour. This came as quite a shock, considering Galliano seems like he’d want someone with more class (and perhaps less eyeliner) to become the face of his high-end beauty product.

The first promo for the product (seen in the video above) for which Momsen was hired doesn’t actually have the actress in it. Well, not her face, anyway. Instead, the actress lends her vocal chords to a tune much softer than what her bandmates are used to playing. All in all, it’s not so bad, but who would honestly know that it’s her? Seems like some wasted money on Galliano’s part.
