Christina Aguilera to launch a new fragrance named Secret Potion

By Andrea Petrou on March 9th, 2011

Christina Aguilera is set to launch a new fragrance named Secret Potion.

The ‘Burlesque’ star – who also has a series of other perfumes including Christina Aguilera, Christina Aguilera by Night and Royal Desire – took part in a photo shoot for the scent last week and brought her three-year-old son Max along.

A source told Life & Style: “He wasn’t feeling good, so she wanted to take care of him and make sure they were together. She’s trying to spend as much time as possible with him while she works, so Max brought his toys and played with his little cars while she did the shoot.”

Christina’s previous scents have been inspired by her mother’s love of “sensual” fragrances.

She said: “Growing up, I used to play with all the fragrances in my mother’s vanity. She had a taste for musky, sensual scents.”

Although she has a hectic schedule juggling a singing and acting career with being a single mother to Max, Christina has previously revealed she never lets her beauty routine falter.

She said “Stay hydrated, moisturise and get enough sleep. I never go to sleep with makeup on and always moisturise my face and lips. I also try to condition my hair as much as possible.”

Lara Stone has barely been out of the spotlight this year due to her high profile campaigns for Louis Vuitton and a number of magazine spreads.

And her personal life has also caused huge waves with the model announcing her engagement to funny man David Walliams last month.

However, today she’s racking up the column inches for her modelling and acting work starring in the new advert for Versace’s Versus fragrance.

The 30-second clip shows her dancing in a room full of mirrors with flashing pink and purple lights in the background. Sounds like our ideal Friday night.

Comme des Garcons release limited edition fragrance

By lotte on November 19th, 2009

Comme des garcons Glitter.jpg This is definitely a case of buying a fragrance just for the bottle. For the lead-up to Christmas, Comme des Garcons have released a special edition version of their most popular fragrance. Comme des Garcons 2 ‘Glitter’ comes in a purple glittery bottle, and although all of their fragrances are puportedly unisex, we think this one would look nicest on our dressing table.

With notes of amber, cumin, incense and cedarwood, it’s not subtle, and would suit someone who wants their fragrance to get them noticed – and who likes their perfume bottles to stand out, too. The 50ml eau de parfum costs £44.50, and is available at major central London department stores (and the Leeds Harvey Nichols).

Reese Witherspoon launches Bloom perfume for Avon

By Andrea Petrou on October 30th, 2009

reese-witherspoon.jpgAnother day and another actress brings out a fragrance. This time it’s American favourite Reese Witherspoon.

The Legally Blonde and Home Sweet Alabama star has created Bloom for Avon, which is said to have notes of Georgia peach tree leaves, magnolia, gardenia and jasmine. According to Reese the fragrance is also symbolic of where she is in her life right now.

“I’m feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. [In Bloom] truly captures that feeling – it’s very sensual, very romantic and alluring,” she said.

We wonder if wearing this fragrance will bag us a Jake Gyllenhaal too.

If you want to test it out head to the Avon website now.
