What Is Your Favourite Perfume?

Posted on 04 Feb 2010

It seems that most women and men are obsessed with perfumes.  There are also so many quotes about perfumes by famous people.  Fragrance is like a cult product now. And what do you think about perfumes? How many do you have? Which one is your favourite? For some reason I don’t wear perfumes a lot, only when I am in a mood for it.  Moreover, I don’t like it on most people – maybe they are using the scent which doesn’t fit them or they use way too much.

Right now my favourite perfume is Very Hollywood by Michael Kors. I would never thought that I may like  because the bottle and the promo photo is really not my style. But I’ve tried this perfume just of curiosity and I was very surprised that I really liked it. So now most of the time I use this perfume but I know that soon I will be tired of it so I need to find something else for myself.  Something fresh that smells like “Spring”. Any suggestions?

The Very Hollywood scent is described as sophisticated, seductive and luxurious. The notes are mandarin  bergamot,  gardenia, jasmine,  amber, white moss and vetiver.

Eva by Eva Longoria. New Perfume

Since I made a post about Sex and The City 2 I should also make a post about my favourite Desperate Housewives ;)

Looks like we have one more perfume from celebrity. This time Eva Longoria created a perfume called… Eva. How original I must say! Don’t get me wrong  – I like Eva but I am so tired of all these perfumes created by celebrities.

This is what Eva told  WWD:

“I have always been somewhat allergic to all perfumes and really wanted to create something that every woman could wear so I decided to create my own fragrance that is light, fresh and unique. I think the scent of a woman is extremely sexy and this scent will prove that.”

Featuring top notes

  • citrus
  • neroli
  • bergamot tea
  • aldehydes

heart  notes

  • sheer jasmine
  • muguet
  • violet
  • freesia
  • skin musk
  • amber
  • sandalwood

Thye perfume comes in a bottle that looks like feminine silhouette. Eva by Eva Longoria will be available in April 2010.and will come in a 1.7-oz. $45 and a 3.4-oz. for $58.

Scarlett Johansson Talks About Makeup And Skincare And Shares Her Top Beauty Products

(this is a promo photo of the new perfume by Dolce and Gabanna – Rose the One)

I am sure that you all know that Scarlett Johansson  is a spokeswoman for Dolce and Gabanna. Have you seen their Fall 2009 and Holiday 2009 Collections by the way? And did you know that this September their new perfume Rose the One will be available ! It’s all about roses but also blackcurrant, ambrette seed, lily of the valley, pink grapefruit, mandarin, Madonna lily, litchy, peony, sandalwood, musk, vanilla. It will be available in 30, 50 and 75ml

Platinum, brunette, or strawberry blond? The red carpet chameleon always keeps Hollywood guessing

Scarlett Johansson

Over the course of their careers, most actresses will log more hours in the makeup chair than in front of the camera. But inquire about their personal beauty habits, and nine out of 10 will cop to little more than a wimpy slick of ChapStick and that old chestnut, “Lots and lots of water.” Scarlett Johansson, on the other hand, swaps makeup tips with a junkie’s enthusiasm (and lingo): eye shadow compacts are “quads”; a favorite lipstick is “creamy, not too slippery, but really opaque”; premieres and awards shows—where most actors play it safe—are the perfect excuse to “switch things up and try something new.” Who better to play a modern Marilyn in ads for Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up? The predictably luxe, high-wattage new collection fairly screams, “ChapStick? Puh-lease.”

First things first: that skin.

I’m 24, so I have the same breakouts as everybody else. I never go to bed with makeup on, even if I come home at 4 a.m. My skin’s sensitive, so I have to use things without fragrance, like Cetaphil. And I clean my makeup brushes once a week. People don’t realize how dirty their sponges and stuff are! Bacteria—that’s what makes you break out. And I never really use moisturizer.

Excuse me?

Yeah. Someone once told me that it’s better to not use creams every day and just let your skin do its thing. I do use masks, though. I alternate between Jurlique’s Purifying Mask, which feels kind of leafy and organic but is really good, and a hydrating one like the Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Mask.

What if one of these alleged skin problems strikes?

scarlett-johansson

Ugh, gosh. It’s always such a disaster. If it’s a swollen blemish or my eyes are puffy, I use whatever’s in my freezer. It’s not uncommon to see me before a premiere with a bottle of Ketel One stuck to my eyelid!

Does the recent brunette make you feel more serious?

With the hair color, I got a college degree! It comes in the bottle! [Laughs] No, it doesn’t make me feel any different. But (more…)

Paris Hilton puts a playful spin on the myths of sand and sea to embody a mermaid – captivating, seductive, and irrestibly charming – for the launch of her newest fragrance, Siren launching in time for summer fun. Posing in shimmering golden scales against a backdrop of ancient ruins, Paris Hilton brings sophisticated, modern glamour to an iconic image in the Siren ad campaign shot by Mark Liddell.

“Siren is all about being sexy in a playful way. I feel irresistible as a mermaid, “ says Paris Hilton. “And I love that the idea of Siren comes from long ago legends but is still super modern. What girl doesn’t want to have fun being a fantasy creature that men can’t resist? (more…)
