Sarah Jessica Parker Does Not Release New B.O. Per...


sarah jessica parker sjp nyc perfume ad 

One of the top celebrity perfumes for 2010 will surely come from Sarah Jessica Parker. After creating the hit Sarah Jessia Parker Lovely, famous for its rich chord of sweet musk, Sarah Jessica Parker has been keeping her next perfume project under wraps. While fans wait with abated breathe, some perfume gossip recently spilled out from the celebrity rumor mill: Sarah Jessica Parker wants to make likeable B.O. perfume.

Though that came as no surprise, fans who loved Lovely just want another celebrity scent that is true to its creator’s personality, as well as  timeless and beautiful—not a personal hygiene problem. And though Sarah Jessica Parker’s interest in animalic notes were made well-known by journalist Chandler Burr, fans thought she would only explore musk as much as she already has—not offer to bathe people in it.

But, wait, don’t panic! Apparently, Sarah Jessica Parker hasn’t whispered another word about the B.O. scent. And, get this: Coty recently announced that the latest Sarah Jessica Parker perfume would be SJP NYC, a breezy, super-girly fragrance. This show stopper is intended to capture the Sarah Jessica Parker’s characterization of Carrie Bradshaw, the fun, fabulous and flirty lead of Sex and the City.

 

Oh, and, this just in, Sarah Jessica Parker is sorry to disappoint, she’s not sure if this perfume project, unlike her first two projects, truly represent her as an individual. It’s definitely a Carrie Bradshaw perfume, not a Sarah Jessica Parker perfume.

 

So it’s definite, girls: this perfume holds none of the notorious stank Sarah Jessica Parker has been threatening to put in your perfume!

 

But Sarah Jessica Parker does walk away from this perfume project debacle with some grace. She states she’s really pleasantly surprised how well strawberry combines with her one and only true scent, musk.

Sorry, Sarah, you’re awesome and all, but no one’s really disappointed about missing out on your B.O. perfume!

 

The other notes in SJP NYC are mandarin, white osmanthus, strawberry, gardenia, honeysuckle, mimosa, rose, sandalwood, vanilla, rum and creamy musks. Now, let’s see if this fruity perfume can challenge the top Yves Saint Laurent  perfumes and Dolce & Gabbana perfumes just as SJP Lovely did.

New Celebrity Perfume: Eva by Eva Longoria...


eva longoria eva perfume ad

Another celebrity perfume to join the ranks of popular greats like Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds and Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely is Eva Longoria’s perfume. …Ok, we’re totally joking. Announced at the end of last year, Eva’s perfume release is much anticipated! …Ok, maybe not for the talent of its namesake, and certainly not for the campaigns Photoshopping magic, but maybe for Eva’s glittering star power.

 

Let’s face it: Eva’s kinda cute, and she’s kinda funny on Desperate Housewives. But, let’s admit it: her voice is grating, and her acting isn’t all that amazing. So she has a fabulous Latin vibe, and her husband is a celebrity sportsman. But really, how many people want to smell like Eva Longoria.

 eva longoria natural shot

What’s that? Ooh, ok. So, apparently tons of people want to smell like Eva Longoria. Well if you make up a piece of one of those tons, then step right up and grab a bottle of light airy florals.

 

Eva by Eva Longoria includes citrus, neroli, bergamot tea, aldehydes, sheer jasmine, muguet, violet, freesia, skin musk, amber and sandalwood.

 

For more ambitious celebrity perfumes check out Hilary Duff With Love, Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, or Mariah Carey M. They may not offer an insightful nature walk or an intellectual exploration through history, but for what they are (amazingly sweet perfumes with some nuance and depth) they are great!

Elizabeth Taylor Charms with New Violet Eyes Perfu...


elizabeth taylor white diamonds ad 

Elizabeth Taylor, the first lady of celebrity perfume, ventures again into the world of perfumery. After winning the first celebrity scent FiFi award (the olfactive Oscar’s) for her dazzling White Diamonds, this violet-eyed veteran is heading into the fragrance labs once again. As White Diamonds continues to bring in the big bucks, what else could Elizabeth Taylor be seeking with a new perfume? Cultural relevance it seems. Oh, and to show those other celebrities what being a top dog is all about.

 

White Diamonds, a smooth blend of white gardenias and creamy powdered woods, was possibly the most prominent perfume of 1988. Launching in an era dominated by heavy, syrup-oozing orientals like YSL Opium, White Diamonds presented a soft retouch of a classic scent: powdered florals. White Diamonds is the longest running celebrity perfume success.

 

But now Elizabeth Taylor enters the ring once again, this time with Violet Eyes perfume. This perfume is reported to includes notes of jasmine, sweet peach, rose, violet, peony, and musk. And from the clips extracted from the Violet Eyes press junket, it seems like Dame Taylor has her heart in the right place.

 

“My philosophy for designing perfume is like everything else in my life, ruled by love and passion. Always give your heart and make the world more beautiful. So many people place their name on products that aren’t intrinsic to their soul. I think that’s a little sad. I have to care about everything I do.”

 

Don’t you enjoy that little dig she gives to all the other fly-by-night celeb-o-scents? Slap a little celebrity on it, and by magic it’s salable! Ahem, not quite.

 elizabeth taylor new perfume

Elizabeth Taylor created a celebrity fragrance when fine perfumes were the hottest thing on the market. In an innocent perfume world that was yet to be infiltrated by celebrity overload, Elizabeth Taylor was a rare gem. Taylor says that she truly feels a connection to gardenia and jasmine, and other bold notes like spices. She goes on to say that perfume bottles are objets d’arts, “jewelry for your dressing table.” She sincerely speaks from an era where women cherished a lavish bottle of something special. It’s obvious that Taylor bring us that genuine luxury with Violet Eyes, a perfume that’s not created in code like other celebrity scents (sassy plus sexy, equals fruity).

 

Gushing with more genuine feelings she states, “I want every woman who wears a House of Taylor fragrance to know she’s beautiful, desirable and loved.” And then she ends with a little teasing quip, “In my life, after my bath, it’s my perfume and then my jewelry — and sometimes nothing else.”

 

There’s sass in you yet, Dame Taylor!

Natural Smells Attract Opposites...


powers of attraction

Hold the phone, it’s no longer attractive to smell good. Good in the normally accepted sense, that is. And scientists aren’t joking. They have long speculated that natural smells and pheromones played a part in attracting the opposite sex. And surprise, surprise: scientists recently discovered that these theories are correct! Lucky for you, bottled B.O.  and pheromone perfumes have been long been available. So run, don’t walk, to your nearest discount perfume e-tailer to snatch up your bottle of au naturel aromas.

 

lovely sarah jessica parkerAnimalic perfumes are perfumes that maximize the natural musky smell secreted by animals. Civet, musk, ambergris—these are common scents that you could find secreted by animals. While musk is quite light and common, civet is a little more difficult to swallow. Ambergris, in its true form, is now difficult to access. Original ambergris and soft amber (a synthetic scent that mimics this precious aromatic material that’s excreted from whale’s glands by mixing resinous labdanum and vanilla) are warm, earthy, resinous scents. The soft, sweet glowing amber is a popular basenote in most woman’s perfumes. Popular musk scents are Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely, her upcoming B.O. perfume, and Kouros (a popular Yves Saint Lauren cologne). The daring civet scent is prominent in Jean Patou Joy, Guerlain Jicky and Paco Rabane La Nuit.

 

But if a natural smell is not enough to get you feeling sexy, try pheromones. But who the heck bottles hormones that aren’t perceivable by the sense of smell? Well, loads of perfumers have recently jumped up to brave that fourth dimension of scent. Realm by Erox (also known as Human Pheromone Sciences) and Paris Hilton Women are the popular leaders in this category. What you get with these perfumes is a typical enjoyable perfume, minus the screeching of animalic notes. Underlying all the aromatic chemistry, another type of chemical attraction is brewing. These added synthetic pheromones mimic the strings of natural attraction.

ysl kouros bottleHave your doubts about natural body odors and pheromones playing a part in attraction? Well, a recent study revealed that men found the T-shirts of fertile women more pleasant smelling than those of non-fertile women. Dr. Miller of this experiment says this demonstrates that men’s testosterone levels are kicked up when they smell a woman natural odors. Another recently released study declares that pheromones pump up the “baseline frequency in romantic attention.” Glynis Gould, a researcher on this project explains, “According to the research we’ve done, pheromones will lure someone to you even more powerfully or at least as powerfully as appearance.”

 

So next time your looking for a perfume that attracts, consider some natural smelling options or some pheromone-filled fragrances. Scentiments.com carries all the above-mentioned natural and pheromone perfumes at great discounts.

Top Princess Perfumes...


Modern-day princesses live glittering fabulous lives, jet-setting to lush locations or simply waltzing about Rodeo Drive and 5th Avenue. Far from exuding the culture and charm perfected by the crowning elite of yesteryear, the princesses of today, instead, master the art of being seen, with over the top handbags and miniature canine accessories in tow.

 

For some, celebrity arrives on a silver platter. And this is the image to which the young female market aspires. And that is what the perfume industry knows this too well.

 

In 2009, the perfume market has witnessed a rise of princess-image laden fragrances. Since the release of the overly fabulous and intensely popular Vera Wang Princess in 2006, everyone else has now jumped on board to grab a piece of the princess pie.

Jennifer Lopez Deseo...


Deseo by Jennifer Lopez is a fragrance inspired by “a midnight walk in her garden.” Deseo is meant to cater to the mature market which is quite a deviation from most celebrity-themed fragrances. It projects more sophistication and less of the youthful character which is ostensibly a favorite marketing strategy of mainstream celeb fragrances. Created by perfumers Ellen A. Molner and Jim Krivda, this fragrance from JLo separates the women from the girls.

deseo

It starts out as fresh, a green-floral kind of freshness, then develops into something tropical – a mix of freshly cut grass, wet flowers, some coconuts and ambery-musk undertones. The notes are bamboo leaf, yuzu, freesia, Sicilian bergamot, orange blossom, rose geranium, mimose, star jasmine, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, musk, oakmoss and atlas cedar.

Deseo is almost (but not quite) comparable to Versace’s Crystal Noir. The depth and the sexiness parade itself effortlessly. You can sense its olfactive allure but it’s not in any way overwhelming. It’s the subtlety that makes it attractive. The warm woods in the dry down are aplenty. This somehow brings out the distinct mature appeal it promises.

The bottle is like a diamond in the rough. Even if the shape of the flacon looks as though it’s tilted, it is able to stand on its own as opposed to Thierry Mugler’s Angel and Kenzo’s Unidentified Fragrance Object where it’s impossible to make these fragrances stand.

Deseo’s sister, Deseo Forever, was launched in the same year. The flanker is a lighter version and the notes are the same. Coty should have instead, created an EDT variant than release a flanker that doesn’t do much justice to the parent. The sillage is also weaker which is not surprising at all. Having said that, it appears that Deseo is a better choice over its flanker, Deseo Forever. It has  richer base and a more powerful sillage to boot.

What is Blake Lively’s Favorite Perfume?...
