Celebrity
Scents: Which One Is For You?
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
To the celebrities, getting their names on
a fragrance is pretty much like getting their names on a movie
marquee -- its a matter of getting their names into your head
so that they can demand larger paychecks. To the multi-billion
dollar fragrance market, however, these celebrity names
mean profits, in the short run, but in the longer run it means an
increasing interest in their beauty products.
Many stars have now launched their own signature scents most
have some flowery scent (orchid, peony, violet) mixed with
spicy or woody scents.
Britney
Spears' entry is called “Fantasy.” It is depicted
as a very sweet fragrance that is reminiscent of pastry; that's
an appropriate since its key scents are Red lychee, kiwi, cupcake,
jasmine, white chocolate orchid, creamy musk. The scent is
not overwhelming, its rather subtle and is aimed at teenagers.
Flowery, just a bit of the orchid scent to balance out the
pastry. Cost: $45.00 for 1.7 fl. oz..
Jennifer
Lopez' fragrance is called “Live.” This is a concoction
of Sicilian lemon, Italian orange, pineapple, peony, violet
and sandalwood. It's mainly a fruity fragrance with quite a
bit of a flowery scent thanks to the peony and violet notes,
and is also a light fragrance. Cost: $39.50 for 1.7 fl. oz..
Sarah
Jessica Parker has introduced “Lovely;” that's appropriate
for the lovely star. Sarah Jessica's fragrance has mandarin,
bergamot, rosewood, lavender, patchouli, orchid and white ambers
in its formula. Its depicted as flowery, spicy and woodsy --
a little seductive but mostly playful. Cost: $48.00 for 1.7
fl. oz..
Celine
Dion's new fragrance is “Parfums Belong.” This is a
blend of red pepper berries, bergamot, pineapple, orchid, peony,
cotton flower and Hinoki wood. Very floral and well balanced
with fresh, very flowery and fruity notes that give it a subtle
sensuality. Cost: $35.00 for 1.7 fl. oz..
Donald
Trump, yes THE Donald has introduced
a fragrance that is appropriately called “The Fragrance.”
Donald's formula contains
citrus, cucumber, mint, black basil, pepper, "luxurious,
exotic woods." Sounds and smells rather woodsy with a
lot of character. No it looks like the Donald isn't sending
you flowers but he is taking you on a trip through the woods.
No piker is Donald, the cost for 'The Fragrance' tops the celebrity
fragrance charts at $60.00 but it's a big 3.4 oz. bottle.
Paris
Hilton has hit the market with her fragrance called
“Paris Hilton.” This combination of Fuji apple, peach nectar,
tuberose, night blooming jasmine and pheromones has a flowery,
fresh scent that will be a hit with the younger crowd. The
jasmine and pheromones combination sounds right up Paris' alley
and may send you up a few new avenues. Cost $39.00 for 1.7
fl. oz..
Perfume industry profits have been down for the past few years,
probably due to the world's understandable preoccupation with
survival taking precedence over the focus on beauty products,
so its not surprising that the industry has hooked its wagon
to some stars in an attempt to boost profits. If it will be
a successful venture only time will tell.
People have also changed in other ways! In the past, a woman
would stay loyal to “her” fragrance of choice for many years
but now it seems that we all feel freer to experiment with
scent and tend to follow the latest trends. That's not a bad
thing, a mindless loyalty, even to a perfume, is still a mindless
loyalty and experimentation is almost always healthy.
Not just a matter of taste! Whatever scent you choose, you
can't choose it on name value alone or even by perusing a list
of its contents. You need to try it and see if it works for
you.
There are certainly many, many perfumes available that will
provide you with many hours of beautiful scent. Its a matter
of taste, of course; which scent appeals to YOU and which one
is preferred by those close to you. Its also, however, a matter
of expense! The best French perfume will be prohibitively expensive
and out of the question for those without a lot of money to
spend on beauty products while many perfumes (as well as other
scented products) will be well within their reach. That's the
beauty of these Celebrity scents, they are not way out of reach
to even a modest budget and, as a bonus, you get to “associate”
with the stars -- or at least sample their tastes.
