Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia...

Giorgio Armani presents a new fragrance for women that explores the seductive sea aromas evoking images of a free-spirited woman. She’s strong, serene and and in perfect balance with nature. She is the woman who embodies Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia.

Armani was inspired by his holiday trips in the islands of Pantelleria and Antigua. The natural setting, nature and water, set the stage in the development of the scent. The flacon, according to Armani, is a tribute to the shape of a woman, in the same way the beautiful form the water makes.

The notes combine freshness of mint leaves, lemons with the softness of florals – jasmine, peony and pink pepper while cedar, yellow sugar and labdanum caps off the dry down. Acqua di Gioia is a collaboration of three perfumers: Loc Dong, Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion.

Will it be as successful as its predecessor Acqua di Gio? We’ll find out in June.

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia will be available in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml eau de parfum.

Jo Malone Cologne Intense Collection...

The Jo Malone perfume collection unveils the latest quartet of fragrances inspired by the scents of the Middle East – Amber & Patchouli, Oud & Bergamot, Rose Water & Vanilla and Iris & White Musk – the Jo Malone Cologne Intense Collection.

According to Jo Malone Global General Manager Dominic de Vetta, “this is one of many projects coming up that will open a new chapter in the development of Jo Malone. We want Cologne Intense in particular to be a fragrance collection that goes deeper and richer.” Perfumer Christine Nagel worked with the Jo Malone Creative Studio to create the new quartet. The fragrance house’s commitment to olfactory diversity resonates in these new fragrances.

Some of the perfumery’s oldest and richest ingredients  were given a modern interpretation to make it more appealing to the Western customer.

The Jo Malone Cologne Intense Collection are:

- Amber & Patchouli combines two very different, opulent ingredients into one harmonious whole, according to the brand. A special distillation process has created a patchouli note with a supple, suede-like finish. The end result is a seductive, spicy, woody fragrance.

- Oud & Bergamot is described as a fresh interpretation of the dark, hypnotic scent of oud, derived from the heartwood of the aquilaria tree. Other key ingredients include bergamot and an orange granite accord based on natural extracts of lemon and orange.

- Rose Water & Vanilla is billed as a 21st century translation of the traditional Arabian Rose Mokhalat, imbued with a modern Jo Malone edge. The rose and vanilla are complemented by neroli overlain with the sweet, floral woodiness of petitgrain.
- Iris & White Musk was born out of the desire to create a fragrance around the Iris root – the most expensive ingredient in perfumery. Other key ingredients include musk and Casablanca lily.

Lolita Lempicka Eau de Desir...

Lolita Lempicka takes a break from gourmand and explores the freshness of citrus accords with its latest scent, Lolita Lempicka Eau de Desir.

Or so I thought.

The initial burst of citron is quite tricky. At first impression, you would surmise that Lolita Lempicka Eau de Desir is a citrus-based fragrance. But wait, as the top notes gradually subside, there enters the original Lolita Lempicka, less sweet and more powdery.

This orchestration grows in intensity to a crescendo: an initial burst of cool citron-verbena, structured like a “cologne”, transition to fabulous heart notes of violet and jasmine sambac, which gave way to the languorous charms of musk. - perfumslolitalempicka.com

The flacon comes in the usual vine-embellished theme. This version, however, include gold intricacies in the design. Lolita Lempicka Eau de Desir is available in 100ml eau de toilette.

Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile...

Acqua di Parma will launch a limited edition of Iris Nobile on April 2010. Opulence and elegance best described this new fragrance. The concept is a re-interpretation of the classic chypre accord that melds with the elegant florals.

“The crystalline top notes consist of bergamot, mandarin and star anise. It unfolds in a fascinating middle note with a chord of iris blossoms and ylang-ylang, a rich floral bouquet. Finally, fascinated by the intense and warm base notes of patchouli and oak moss, vanilla extracts and ambrette seeds. (cosmoty.de)”

The flacon is a gold-colored glass with satin lining and gold lining to emphasize the skill that came along in concocting the fragrance. The cap is also gold plated to equally match the golden bottle. Suffice to say, Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile is one of a kind elegance inside out.

Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile Limited Edition is available in 100ml eau de parfum.
