angel liqueur de parfum

Thierry Mugler, the mastermind behind fragrance greats Angel and Alien, has a new perfume innovation just in time for gift-giving season.

Mugler's Liqueurs de Parfum combine two luxury concepts into one -- haute perfumery and perfectly aged liqueur. Similar to the distillation process of fine cognac, the perfume was "aged" in specifically chosen wood barrels for eight weeks, which allowed for the notes to mature in a way not possible within traditional perfumery.

For Angel lovers (and there are a lot of them out there), this aging process brings a new dimension to their favorite scent. Angel Liqueur de Parfum was distilled in a cherry wood cask, which brought out a candied fruit and honey overtone, and also added richness to the woody patchouli base note.

Alien Liqueur de Parfum was aged in an oak cask, which added depth to the subtle almond note and gave a more sensual feel to the amber base.

The perfumes are limited edition, which makes them a perfect collector's item for the fragrance lovers in your life. Look for them them now at Saks Fifth Avenue and thierrymugler.com.

Don't be surprised if the next time you walk into your favorite store, you feel oddly compelled to buy fragrance.

A company called Prolitec is providing retailers, such as Bebe, with a discreet way to introduce shoppers to their perfume with something called "ambient scenting," reports WWD.

According to WWD, Bebe uses an easy-to-hide, 5-inch cube that disperses the essence of the scent around visual displays to help introduce the fragrance.

This kind of innovative thinking may just be what the struggling fragrance industry needs to shake things up a bit. "I think we're at a point with scent where music was 10 or 15 years ago," Roger Bensinger, executive vice president of marketing at Prolitec told the paper.

"Now you wouldn't think of going into a store without hearing music."

While no hard data exists showing what sampling does for sales, the Scent Marketing Institute reports it can result in double-digit sales, according to the source.

Carb counters beware! Prolitec also provides grocery stores with the scent of a loaf of bread, reports WWD. (We're hungry just thinking about it.)

Read up on other perfume pumpers.

We finally got to sniff Reese Witherspoon's "In Bloom" fragrance from Avon, (which launches next week, by the way), and we're loving the soft floral scent.

For those who wonder just how involved the busy mom and actress was in the development process, sweet Southern Reese (wearing a gorgeous L'Wren Scott dress, shown here) explains how the process has been a long time coming:

"My mother always wore gardenia perfume, so I've always been attracted to white flowers," Reese said.

"A large part of my childhood [in Tennessee] was spent in my front yard in a gigantic magnolia tree. So I knew it had to have magnolia blossom in it."

Aside from those two feminine notes, Reese explains, "We mixed it with peach tea lives, and it created something a little bit softer but still very sophisticated."

The best part? The soft, girly eau de parfum retails for just $34.

"Avon is incredibly responsible with the prices on their products, and they have great quality products," Reese told StyleList. "Its a way of having luxury items that people can really afford. It's nice to be part of a company that bears that in mind."

So does that mean Reese's friends and family can expect to receive a bottle for the holidays this year?

"Everyone I know really wants it, " she laughed. "Maybe they're just being nice!"

Cult-favorite fragrance brand Demeter (known for their cheeky scents like Dirt, Gin & Tonic, and Sex On The Beach) is still going strong after 13 years.

In fact, while other perfume brands struggle to make sales, Demeter is actually expanding.

They recently launched the Sephora-exclusive Vintage Naturals collection (a 100% natural fragrance line) and most recently announced distribution into over 175 Duane Reade locations.

So what's Demeter's secret to success?

"For one, our fragrances are fabulous," CEO Mark Crames told StyleList. "If we didn't make great smells we wouldn't be here."

More than dollars and scents: L'Artisan Perfumeur's pricey perfumes. Photo courtesy of L'Artisan Perfumeur

Is $10,000 too expensive for perfume?

Apparently, for one Parisian shopper, the answer is no. And for that $10,000, this shopper bought fragrance #2 from L'Artisan Parfumeur which will be his or hers exclusively, forever.

If you wear perfume, you know having a scent that is exclusive to you is certainly alluring. And now, as we know, expensive.

For that $10,000, the person receives a "certificate of authentication" along with four 100 ml bottles, four 50 ml bottles and four 15 ml bottles of perfume #2.

This buyer also has the right to order more of perfume #2 at the going rate of $450 per 100 ml bottle anytime in his or her lifetime, and can will the certificate, hence ownership, to his/her heirs or can simply give it to someone else.

If you're looking for something special to buy for the holidays and have money to burn, the good news is that there are still seven more of these exclusive fragrances available at L'Artisan boutiques around the world, including the only one in the US, at Henri Bendel on New York City's Fifth Avenue.

For most New Yorkers, going to Duane Reade is all about stocking up on toilet paper and toothpaste and then waiting an hour to check out--not exactly a luxury shopping destination.

But all that is about to change.

Today marks the opening of the New York City drugstore chain's 14,000 square foot, two-story stab-at-prestige beauty retailing in Herald's Square, reports WWD.

The new beauty department, called Look Boutique, boasts 5,400 square feet of upscale brands, including Too Faced, Lierac, Pop Beauty, and La Roche-Posay.

The new Duane Reade is no slouch in the fragrance department either. The store now stocks Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers, Juicy Couture, Burberry, and a Demeter Fragrance Library, reports the paper. Other beauty bells and whistles include a Ramy brow-shaping station, where for $30 you can get your brows done by the makeup artist staff, and a physician-manned health clinic.

According to the source, the chain will open 30 more new or renovated stores next year, half of which will contain the Look Boutique. Duane Reade's chief merchandising manager Joe Magnacca told WWD: "It's a big step up for drugstore beauty."

Another bonus, the new Herald Square Duane Reade is open 24 hours should you have a 3am lip gloss craving.

What do white flowers, independence, and steamy southern nights have in common?

Reese Witherspoon was inspired by each while creating her exclusive new scent for Avon, In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon.

In the behind-the-scenes video below, she talks candidly about the new perfume, which launches on November 1st. Here's a peek:

"In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee," she explains. "We had a great big Magnolia tree in the back yard, and it's that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume."

Sarah Jessica Parker didn't have to look too far for the inspiration behind her newest fragrance.

The uber stylish "Sex and the City" star chose her equally fashionable counterpart, Carrie Bradshaw, as the muse for "SJP NYC," her new perfume which is slated to launch in February 2010.

"A large part of the inspiration is what I now understand to be people's impressions of seeing Carrie Bradshaw walk down the street and what feelings that evokes for her and for them -- a real sense of freedom and possibilities, a love for the city around her, and, of course, fashion," Sarah Jessica Parker told WWD.

The perfume's ad campaign, shot by Solve Sundsbo and styled by Elle's Joe Zee, features SJP looking as ravishing as ever in a one-of-a-kind Oscar de la Renta gown.

Fergie will develop Avon's next celebrity fragrance. Photo: WireImage

Fergie already sings "The Make Up Song," but perhaps her next smash hit will be "The Perfume Song."

Avon announced today that they're tapping Fergie to create their next celebrity fragrance. Joining the ranks of Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey, Fergie's perfume is in development now and will launch in the US in November 2010, and be available exclusively through Avon representatives.

Fergie plans to be intimately involved in the development of the fragrance, including the scent, packaging, name and campaign.

"I'm so excited to partner with Avon to develop my first-ever fragrance," Fergie commented. "I'm always seeking out new ways to express myself, and fragrance is the perfect opportunity to share my originality and confidence with my fans, and the Avon consumer. I couldn't be happier to be working with a brand with such a strong reputation for supporting women."

The singer will make her first appearance on behalf of Avon on October 27th at the upcoming Avon Foundation for Women Annual Gala Event in New York City, where she will perform in support of Avon's charitable efforts. The annual event celebrates champions who are changing women's lives.

"We are thrilled to partner with Fergie and feel she will resonate strongly with our Avon Representatives and customers both as a fashion/style icon and a bold, multi-talented woman," says Jeri Finard, Senior Vice President and Global Brand President, Avon Products, Inc. "Fergie is a strong, confident and unique woman who stays true to herself and her beliefs. She inspires others with the empowering message that anyone can make theirdreams come true - a message that is at the core of the Avon brand."

What does "sex" smell like to designer Henry Holland? Mimosa, suntan lotion and pine trees, with a dash of musk.

That's what Holland's perfumer told us last night at an exclusive gathering in New York's West Village for the launch of the Six Scents: Series Two fragrance collection.

The quirky British designer, who is famous for his "House of Holland" clothing line featuring t-shirts plastered with suggestive catchphrases like "Do Me in the Park Marc" (and his relationship with muse Agyness Deyn) hosted last night's event and designed a fragrance for the collection.

The Six Scents Fragrance Initiative is an annual collaboration that connects six prominent designers and perfumers to develop an exclusive series of fragrances to raise money for a charity.

Series One featured scents by Preen and Alexandre Herchcovitch and benefited Designers Against AIDS. Now in its second year, Series Two is composed of fragrances by designers Phillip Lim, Henrik Vibskov, Damir Doma, Toga, Richard Nicoll and Henry Holland, and a portion of the proceeds goes to Pro-Natura to support their environmental sustainability programs.

In the crowd of stylish New Yorkers and sweet smelling fragrances, we found Givaudan perfumer Stephen Nilsen, who talks to StyleList about his collaboration with Henry Holland.

Mally Roncal is widely known in the beauty industry for glamming up celebrities such as Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum, and Angelina Jolie.

Her cosmetics collection, Mally Beauty, has introduced women to high-performance cosmetics.

And now the makeup maven is breaking into new territory with the launch of an eponymous fragrance.

StyleList caught up with Roncal in New York City to get the scoop on the scent.

After coaxing from her faithful followers, Roncal thought it was time to make a foray into fragrances. And much like her personality, she "wanted it to be effervescent, bubbly, and happy."

Roncal worked with noted perfumery, Givaudan, to create a feminine floral that is clean, yet pretty, and will appeal to all types of women.

Jimmy Choo's strappy stilettos were made for walking.

And that's just what they're doing: The brand is making some major strides in expansion, designing a line for H&M that features not only shoes and bags, but full apparel collections for women and men.

And they're not stopping there: Jimmy Choo is tackling fragrances, and lots of them - the company has inked a 12 year licensing agreement with global fragrance producer Inter Parfums SA.

A favorite of the fashion set, Inter Parfums also produces fragrances for Lanvin, Burberry, Paul Smith, and Christian Lacroix.

"It has always been my vision to fully accessorize the woman, and fragrance is an integral part of the modern wardrobe," said Tamara Mellon, Jimmy Choo's founder and president said in a press release. "Through the association with Inter Parfums, I look forward to bringing this important aspect of my vision to life."

We love the idea of wearing Jimmy Choo from our heads down to our feet. Which brings us to a grand idea for the company's next venture: Pedicures to match you stilettos.

Choo Polish, anyone?

Newly svelte Kelly Osbourne performed a well-received Samba on "Dancing with the Stars" last night, even planting a kiss on partner Louis van Amstel to cap off the spectacle.

But what really had people talking was Osbourne's Twitter page, where she revealed a photo of an angry-looking armpit which she claimed had been "burned" by a popular deodorant body spray.

"Never ever use impulse body spray from the UK i sprayed it on myself and now have really bad burns all over my body gentle on skin my a**!" she tweeted.

Osbourne said she had to alter her "Dancing with the Stars" costume to hide the unsightly marks.

Impulse Body Spray has been on the market since 1972. Originally introduced in South Africa, the "perfume deodorant" is now the UK's "number one female body spray fragrance," according to Unilever.

As for what could have caused the reaction, a study by the CDC suggests that two of the body spray's ingredients could be to blame: "Oxidized limonene and linalool are common allergens in dermatitis patients tested consecutively in Europe," the site stated.

Dr. David Bank, a Cosmetic Dermatologist, says "Fragrance is the number one cause of contact skin allergies, and can certainly cause rashes for some people. Look for fragrance-free of hypoallergenic products to minimize the chance you'll have a reaction."

Perhaps fellow Unilever brand Dove deodorant would have been better on the star's sensitive skin?

Fans of Nanette Lepore's distinctly feminine designs won't be disappointed with her new signature fragrance - simply called Nanette.

In an intimate gathering at the famous Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa on NYC's 5th Avenue, Lepore shared her thoughts on the new scent.

"The fragrance is rich and lush with a feminine, passionate side and an edgy side," she explained. Lepore worked tirelessly with esteemed perfumer Anne Flipo to concoct the perfect mixture of the fashion designer's favorite notes, and the result is a sensual floral-oriental appropriate to wear every day.

Bottles of Perfume

Three Times a Lady: La Prairie's Life Thread celebrates every woman.

Luxury skincare brand La Prairie is adored by the well-heeled set for anti-aging treatments that incorporate such rarefied ingredients as caviar and diamonds.

But the company is breaking new ground with the introduction of Life Threads, a trilogy of fragrances they're marketing to a broader spectrum of beauty fans.

Packaged in sleek, lucite bottles and wrapped in strands of the various metals, the trio - Silver, Gold, and Platinum - were mixed to take wearers on a sensory journey, honoring the milestones and memories of a woman's life. La Prairie President - and Platinum wearer - Lynne Florio says, "With Life Threads, we aimed to create a provocative portfolio of fragrances that spoke to the different dimensions of a woman."

To bolster the launch with a larger audience, yesterday at an event in New York City La Prairie unveiled a multi-media promotional strategy that weaves in music, film, and social-networking (YouTube and Facebook), and will launch October 1st on their website.

The company collaborated with singer-songwriter Lucy Kaplansky (who penned the song "Life Threads" to resonate the spirit of the fragrances) and New York-based production company MakeBelieve (who translated the sensory experience into nine mini-films) to add visual interpretations, which they've coined "retailtainment," to inspire and connect women.

Saved! Prescriptives' Calyx fragrance will not go down with the rest of the company. Photo: Prescriptives.com

September 17, 2009 was a date which will live in beauty infamy.

We were met with the tragic news that Estee Lauder is shuttering Prescriptives, the beloved 30-year-old skincare company.

In our unofficial survey around the office and on our comments board, the most soon-to-be-missed product is their citrusy fragrance, Calyx. One commenter summed it up well: "Oh lord no...Calyx is my absolute favorite scent. I cannot go on living...oh lord no."

Calyx fans, wipe away those tears - your beloved eau has been saved.

We just received word from the Prescriptives public relations team that Calyx will continue to be distributed through Aramis and Designer Fragrances, and sold at the fragrance bar in fine department stores and online beginning February 1.

So you can stop madly stockpiling your Calyx. But, unfortunately, we can't say the same about our beloved Magic Liquid Powder.

Now if you'll excuse us, we have some hoarding to do.

We sat down with Gwen Stefani for a one-on-one chat about what's new in her stylish world.

The multi-tasking fashion designer/singer/beauty trend-setter/hot mama was in New York City to present her knockout Spring 2010 L.A.M.B. collection during Fashion Week and to promote the launch of her Harajuku Lovers Snow Bunnies fragrance (she's giving the adorable bottles a winter makeover!).

Here, Stefani dishes to StyleList on the new pants she'll be living in, ditching those long, printed maternity dresses (for awhile, at least) and the Harajuku girls' outfit update.

StyleList: What inspired you to give the Harajuku girls a new look?
Gwen Stefani: They're fashion plates (Love's boots are exact replicas of a pair of Vivienne Westwood's) -- they have to keep changing their clothes! Plus, it's winter, they needed to get snuggly.

StyleList: How did you come up with the concept for Harajuku Lovers?
Gwen: It was a line I came up with for a song ("What You Waiting For?"). The line was: "I can't wait to go back and do Japan, get me lots of brand new fans. You Harajuku girls, damn you've got some wicked style." I love Japan and that line is a shout out to all the stylish Harajuku girls.
