CoCo Chanel Enters the FiFi Hall of Fame

CoCo Chanel, the design house of one of the most classiest fragrances, has finally been entered into the FiFi Hall of Fame. On this year, the 40th Anniversary of the FiFi Awards, the fragrance foundation proudly awards the life and times of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, a style icon for many ages. 

CoCo Chanel will be inducted into the 2012 FiFi Hall of Fame on May 21st.

“It is quite astonishing that in the year 2012, a fragrance introduced in 1921 and simply named Chanel No 5, prevails as one of the most enduring and iconic symbols of style, elegance and modern scent creativity the world has ever known,” says Jill Belasco, chair of The Fragrance Foundation. “Chanel fragrances have reached near mythical status thanks to the vision of Coco Chanel, her enduring commitment to in-house master perfumery and an uncompromising commitment to luxury and quality. To this day, men and women everywhere delight in wearing fragrances marked by the entwined double C’s of Chanel.”

“We are very pleased that The Fragrance Foundation is recognizing Coco Chanel for her lasting impact and ongoing influence over the world of fragrance, and we thank The Board of Directors of The Fragrance Foundation for this significant recognition,” says Christine Dagousset, US executive vice president, Fragrance & Beauty, Chanel, Inc. “Mademoiselle Chanel is a guiding inspiration in all we do at Chanel, and we are proud of the infinite contribution she has made to the worlds of modern fashion, beauty and fragrance.”

Kate Walsh Launches Second 'Boyfriend' Fragrance

Givaudan perfumer Mary Pierre Julien has worked with Kate Walsh, Grey's Anatomy actress, in creating both Boyfriend and Billionaire Boyfriend fragrances.

For the first fragrance, Boyfriend, Walsh wanted to capture a boyfriend's scent that lingers on. New fragrance, Billionaire Boyfriend puts the focus on a rich boyfriend, Walsh told WWD, “This is a story of fun, indulgence and decadence. The sky’s the limit,”

Her thoughts on the new fragrance?  "Nobody wants to buy a fragrance called Husband. I think the idea of Boyfriend connotes fun, a kind of frivolity and romance. Anything can happen as opposed to with a husband or a fiancé, where things get serious and heavy and possibly end in lawsuits,” she said, adding, “It was really about a nod to these guys. Now, we don’t have to necessarily get married, [but I felt like saying,] ‘Hey fellas, we really like you, and we love romance. We like the simple things like wearing your shirt or your jeans.’ These are the kind of romantic, sensual things that I wanted to give a shout out to.”

Selena Gomez Unveils New Kissable Fragrance

Seemingly following in the footsteps of her boyfriend Justin Bieber, after his fragrance launch of Someday last year, Selena Gomez has just unveiled her signature perfume, Kissable. After working almost over a year on her signature perfume and months of online consultation with her fans, the unveiled bottle of Selena Gomez Eau De Parfum looks like a bouquet of shiny lips on the cap of a pretty purple glass bottle.  The bouquet of metallic lips express the main concept behind the fragrance, that it is "absolutely kissable".

The top notes of the eau de parfum are orange, pineapple, peach and rasperry.  The three main notes, which were voted on by her online fans were rasperry (55% of votes), purple freesia in the heart (52% of votes) and vanilla in the base (72% of votes).

Gomez said, "I have three favorite smells in the world: raspberry, vanilla, and freesia, Vanilla just makes me feel cozy and yummy. Raspberry is fun without being too sweet. I love how feminine freesia is. It was important to me that anyone who smelled it found it enticing. I wanted it to be absolutely kissable."

The perfume was developed by Givaudan and launches in mid May 2012.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's Secret Fragrance Tip

Ladies, ladies, ladies...do we have it all wrong? Jennifer Love Hewitt recently revealed to US Weekly that she has a way of attracting the fellas, and it may be tasty tip to try for yourself!

The celeb says, "I carry McCormick's Pure Vanilla [in my purse] -- the baking kind -- and dab it on my neck... Men are attracted to the scent! One time, I put it on and four different guys were like, 'You smell amazing!'"

Talk about smelling amazing, who can resist a scent that smells like sweet sugar?

Not only does she carry McCormick's Pure Vanilla, but with what she further told them that she carries in her bag will have you thinking she's about to bake a cake, really!

She also carries baking powder (for anti-perspirant) and brown sugar (as an exfoliant and body glitter).

Does anyone else think she should take a trip to a beauty supply store and not the supermarket for her beauty needs?
