According to Stylist, the Jimmy Choo is launching their first fragrance, to be sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue starting January 15th.

The fragrance will be called Jimmy Choo.

“We’ve transitioned into a lifestyle luxury brand, and it seemed like the next natural step for us,” Tamara Mellon, co-founder and chief creative officer of Jimmy Choo, told WWD at a London event to launch the fragrance. “Fragrance is such an important accessory for women — I think it will have a very broad reach. Our customer is every woman.”

The juice, three years in the making, was created by Olivier Polge of International Flavors & Fragrances, and it’s a fruity chypre with green top notes, as well as exotic tiger orchid, sweet toffee and Indonesian patchouli notes.

“You have to — fragrance is something that’s very… personal,” said Mellon, to a room full of beauty editors at the New York launch event, where she revealed that her favorites as a teenager included Opium and Anaïs Anaïs. “I love the smell of green fresh notes, they’re in the top notes of our fragrance. I like things that are sensual, so that’s how we came in with the patchouli.”

“We wanted to create something that was an object of desire, that you would be proud to have on show,” said Mellon of the Murano-glass-inspired perfume bottle. She has a history of using the Italian material for chandeliers in some of the first Jimmy Choo stores.

Hot! What do you think of the chest hair? Usually fragrance ads shot bare-chested men. Chris is definitely rocking a hairy chest (which I’m okay with) but many women don’t like a hairy chest! What’s your take?

That’s Evan Rachel Wood pictured drooling on him. You can see her hot ads here!

A new Kim Kardashian billboard has been unveiled next to the famous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood advertising her new fragrance named “Voluptuous.” You can say that again!

The fragrance has been in the works for more than a year and a half but will not be available until February. Sorry Christmas shoppers!

The perfume includes “notes that were chosen to reflect aspects of her personality, with jasmine, tuberose and gardenia evoking her femininity and tonka bean and sandalwood suggesting an even softer side.”

But the decision to take accept the beauty endorsement didn’t come easily.

“To be honest, I had an aversion to selling things,” she explains to Women’s Wear Daily, “and then I realized both that there could be a company that I would be proud to represent, and also that they would really support the things I believe in.”

She says she went back and forth trying to decide whether to commit. “It definitely was a war inside my head for a long time and, finally, I was like, we can actually do something very positive with this, especially given the kind of company Dior is, which is truly elegant. It’s been exactly along the lines of what I had hoped for.”

Portman, a vegan, was also pleased that the French fashion and beauty house took into account what’s important to her. “One of the things that’s been so nice is that Dior made all of the shoes for me with no animals and no leather or anything, because I don’t wear any leather. They remade all my shoes so I can wear Dior shoes without taking lives.”

I was at Macy’s the other day – and I stopped by the fragrance counter, and wanted to try Womanity by Thierry Mugler. I really love this new fragrance!

Five years ago, Thierry released his beloved fragrance Alien. Womanity, the highly anticipated new fragrance, was released in June!

WWD reports that Womanity is “a made-up word meant to associate with femininity, humanity and city.”

“Mugler, buttressed by focus groups, sees the evolving quest of women as a drive to express themselves and their ideas. He created a Web site, Womanity.com, as a platform for dialogue. The more women connected with each other, according to Mugler’s perception, the more creativity is released.”

“In order to create content for the site, one idea is to provide the beginning of a story that will be finished by different women, each writing their own page. A contest will solicit ideas from women for a particular project or cause. The winner will work with Mugler in completing it.”

The pink bottle has an Art Deco-inspired top and is meant to appeal to women of all ages. The juice itself was developed by Mane and combines both sweet and savory notes of fig and caviar. In a nod to the environment, the bottle is refillable and the packaging uses minimal cardboard.
