Riccardo Tisci is all set to launch his first fragrance, Dahlia Noir, as a creative director of Givenchy in early August 2011.
While sharing his experience as a creative director of Givenchy, Ricardo said, “When I arrived at Givenchy, I had to start a new identity [while] respecting the DNA of the house.”
However, he did have the idea of what to create but he was a bit scared and worked closely with Francoise Demachy, senior vice president of olfactory development for perfumes at Givenchy’s parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton to bring his idea to reality.
Dahlia Noir describes a woman, who is super sharp looking and superstrong but with a touch of softness and romance engraved in her very bring.
The face to represent this super sharp and sensual fragrance is none other than Mariacarla Boscono, who beautifully reflects the sharp and sensual flower black Dahlia.
The juice encapsulates the notes of rose, iris, mimosa, sandalwood, patchouli and tonka bean giving it a romantic and powdery scent at first, then sharp and sensual.
Dahlia Noir will be introduced on Aug. 7 exclusively in Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. It’s then to be launched in France toward the end of August and rolled out to the rest of the world in 2012.
The new gloss from Bourjois is called Smile Enhancing Gloss, and it is a smart little thing – two products in one. On the one hand, it is a lip gloss, and on the other hand, it is a tooth gel. The gel works wonders with your smile! Just one touch of the applicator – and here is the immediate effect!
Those who have had the opportunity to try this miracle at the presentation of the new items say that, of course, you will not get a white even row of teeth like the Hollywood divas, but there is definitely a certain effect.
The shades of the lip gloss are pleasant as well: soft, natural and warm. They create a good contrast with the whiteness of teeth.
The new item will be available only in October 2011.
The Burberry Body was already announced by creative director Christopher Bailey as the “most exciting launch” the brand has ever produced.
Photographer Mario Testino will provide the shooting side of the campaign, taking pics of various models and celebs. He did a beautiful set of visuals of Huntington-Whiteley wearing nothing but a Burberry trench. The 24-year-old model said it had been “an amazing compliment” to be the first in the series.
Burberry’s Body is to inundate more than 150 countries starting September; meanwhile there are more ads and details coming.
De Lune was created by perfumer Mathilde Laurent who used woody and musky base and added notes of lily of the valley, honeysuckle, juniper berries and pink pepper coming out with a scent of wonderful subtlety.
The fragrance comes in a blue glass bottle with a silver-plated cap that is supposed to symbolize the moon reflected in a lake.
