Lady Gaga Reveals Second FAME Fragrance Print Ad
Lady Gaga recently revealed her second FAME fragrance print ad, the first, of little tiny men crawling over her naked body. This second print ad features a mirror image of Lady Gaga wearing a black latex body suit, prim black lips, and a very large black hat and eye mask. The darkness of the ad fits perfectly with the fragrance, which will be a black liquid that emits clearly when sprayed. Check out Lady Gaga's perfume details here and the video campaigns here.

Fabulous by Isaac Mizrahi Photo By Courtesy Photo; WWD
Isaac Mizrahi, now the creative director of Xcel Brands Inc., has announced his step into the fragrance world. He is set to launch his first women's scent, Fabulous, in November of this year.
Mizrahi will be working with The Cloudbreak Group to develop, manufacture, and distrubute his first scent, as well as other related beauty products he is looking forward to branching out into.
Mr. Mizrahi told WWD taht while he worked on other fragrance ideas before, this is the "first time I'm actually launching one".
“I feel like if you get married too young, it rarely works out. It’s the same thing with this — you get really very few chances at [creating a scent.] You have to get it right. There has to be care taken. That’s what all these years of experience have brought to this. I really want it to mean something and be special. Good perfumes are more cultural than product.”
The fragrance is saiad to have top notes of mandarin, nectarine and bergamot; heart notes of jasmine, tuberose, freesia and peony; and the scent's base notes are sandalwood, vanilla, and cedar.

Vince Camuto Launches Men's Scent
With every great women's scent should come a men's scent, right? That's Vince Camuto's thoughts exactly, or what we prefer to think. Camuto is now following up with a luanch of his first men's scent after a successful launch of his women's scent last year.
Like the woman's scent, the men's product will bear the brand logo and name (it's family crest) and to add a tough of masculinity, the bottle's surface is tightly wrapped in black leather.
The new scent, produced by licensee Parlux Fragrances, is set to launch August 15th.
The fragrance has been said to be one that is boldly fresh, a 'woodsy' blend.

A Weight-Loss Fragrance
We've heard it before, and we're hearing it again, but this time...is it more 'true' than before? Skip the gym and lose weight with a new slimming fragrance launched by French perfume house Robertet and Veld's. The fragrance named Prends Moi, meaning 'take me' in French, promises to slim and trim with pleasure.
How does it work? Apparently the parfum releases B-endorphins in the skin, which you may already know theoretically make you happy, which in hopes, will decrease the desire to overeat.

Other ingredients in the parfum include caffeine, carnitine, and spirulina extract. All of these together formulate into a "slimming complex" that works to activate enzymes involved in your body's ability to break down fat.
Will you choose to diet, exercise, or spray some perfume...that's all up to you...but do tell, which one would you choose? Would you try Prends Moi by Robertet and Veld's?
Sweet Smelling Nail Polish Removers
Now, more than ever, does it feel we are changing up our manicures to try the next trendy nail look. But when it comes to doing the switch-a-roo, we hate the fumes of the nail polish removers, don't you? That's why we were more than ecstatic to find out there are some polish removers that DON'T give off a nasty, alchohol chemical fume odor.
A few favorites include those that smell of floral bouquets, candy, and some fab fruity aromas.
Go ahead, pause, and take a sniff of roses. Deborah Lippmann has a product called The Stripper Lavender Lacquer Remover Twist-Lock Pump that is ever so lightly scented with a calming and hydrating lavender scent.
Essie, well known nail polish brand, has a 'Naturally Clean Purifying Polish Remover' that disgueses it's removing chemical scents with a sweet pea perfume.

New Fragrance: James Bond 007
We didn't have to go undercover for this one, the new James Bond 007 fragrance launches next month at Harrods and aims to "capture the mojo of the on-screen and literary here".
Proctor and Gamble Co. and Eon Productions (the production company behind all the Bond Films) have come together to create the new scent, in perfect timing for the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film frachise? Coincidence? We think not.

The fragrance contains notes of fresh apple, caradom, sandalwood, and vetiver.
According to WWD, “The aromatic feugere fragrance family came to prominence in the Sixties — it was unmistakably masculine — mossy and ferny,” said Bill Brace, vice president of fashion brands for P&G Prestige.
“But that was a while ago, so we wanted to move it on and give it much more modern and sophisticated shell, which is why there’s fresh apple, cardamom, sandalwood and vetiver.”
The fragrance was created in tandem with Givaudan and Eon Productions.
The eau de toilette will be available in 30-ml., 50-ml., 75-ml. and 125-ml. sizes ranging in price from $30 for the 30-ml. bottle to $65 for the largest size.
