avril_lavigne_black_star_0309.jpg

Just because you’re a celebrity does not mean you have to launch a fragrance! Or does it?

Pop’s punky princess Avril Lavigne hit London to launch her first-ever fragrance, Black Star, with P&G Prestige. Hosted at the aptly named Punk in Oxford Circus, the star dished about the creative process behind the pink hibiscus, black plum and dark chocolate scent. “I wanted to make sure the fragrance was really me — me in a bottle,” she said. American fans still have a wait to find out precisely what Avril smells like as Black Star won’t launch in U.S. stores until this fall.

New from Vera Wang: Rock Princess!

rock-princess-ad-hi-res.jpg

She’d trade her tiara in for a new guitar, attend a concert instead of the prom—she is Rock Princess, the dynamic new fragrance by Vera Wang. It’s all about the music, the fashion, and the spirit with this edgy yet seductively sweet essence.

Each verse is equally captivating in the dark, fruity scent that channels sultry rock-star attitude. It takes the stage with an exhilarating intro of succulent white peach, bittersweet red raspberry, and an illuminating flash of vibrant bergamot. The chorus reveals itself in lovely layers of ultra-feminine florals. Hypnotic heliotrope, vintage-inspired rose, night-blooming jasmine, delicate lily, and an unexpected riff of sharp, spicy accents. The melody bridges to a finale, cloaking the essence in the warm, sensual glow of plush cashmere woods, smoldering musk, elegant iris, and creamy coconut. You will not forget her.

The Rock Princess bottle is as rebellious and dark as the downtown clubs where she plays. A smoky glass heart steals the show with sharp faceted edges and cool surfaces. The front of the bottle is covered with heavy metal in a pattern inspired by a Vera Wang fabric design. The crown rocks at the top, in a gunmetal finish, covered with rhinestone studs. Set beneath the crown is a matching ring—the perfect jewelry for playing a solo on the bass or hammering away on the drums.

Notes:
Peach, Raspberry, Bergamot, Heliotrope, Rose, Jasmine, Lily, Cashmere Wood, Musk, Iris, Coconut.
Style:
Poetic. Original. Sultry.

Halle Berry launches her own perfume!

77344_22_122_366lo.jpg

Halle Berry wades through the surf in a cotton dress verging on transparent and relaxes in a revealing crochet dress looking every inch the alluring star.

She knows how to play a role – and when it comes to launching your own brand of perfume – that has to be nothing short of stunningly sexy and available.

The 42-year-old becomes the latest in a long line of celebs to promote their own line of fragrance – but hers has taken more work than most.

She has spent two years coming up with the scent, a woody smell and image are meant to evoke memories of the beach.

Halle told the WWDBeauty website: ‘(Before my fragrance) I was mixing other brands that shall remain nameless to make my own scent with fig and mimosa.

‘With Halle, I added olibanum, which is an African root, which brings spice to the fragrance, and sandalwood, which smoothes everything out and makes it yummy.

‘It’s very sensual, very natural, very much reflective of the outdoors.’

The top notes of the scent are Sicilian bergamot, fig leaves and pear blossom. It also contains notes from freesia petals, hibiscus flowers and mimosa.

In between making perfumes and movies, Hall has been caring for her 11-month-old daughter Nahla with her Canadian model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.

Model Kate Moss is pursuing her career as a celebrity-perfume muse with her third fragrance to date, to be launched in April 2009: it is called Kate Moss Summer Time. This limited-edition comes after Kate Moss and Velvet Hour. Aimed at capturing the transient spirit of a season, it is described as a fresh floral offering both a “dynamic” and “timeless” personality…

Kate Moss Summer Time has notes of stimulating neroli and bitter orange blended with cool blackberry and galbanum. The heart rests on a delicate bouquet of English rose, peony, wisteria, bluebell (one of her favorite scents is Penhaligon’s Bluebell, a very musky floral). The base has notes of mahogany wood, tonka bean, and musk.
