Bond No. 9 and Swarovski have teamed up to create three shiny, sparkling crystal encrusted bottles.

I want one, not for the perfume, but to wear it around my neck like a true ODB, phrase to your motha.

It’ll be available on Mother’s Day in the three scents, Nuits de Noho (vivid sapphire), The Scent of Peace (rich amethyst) and Chelsea Flowers (golden topaz) at Saks.

Bond No. 9 is certainly not new to experiencing the tribute to Andy Warhol. Coming in on their third round, the fragrance titled “Lexington Avenue” celebrates some of the first days Warhol spent in New York City. The perfume was released in commemoration of what would be Mr. Warhol’s 80th birthday. The company is certainly proud of their mission:

“Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue celebrates the fashionable, sophisticated, and successful women of New York City through the whimsical lense of Andy Warhol and his artwork.”

I think it’s been made clear that the, often overrated, work of Andy Warhol is becoming widely used and revealed; however, until this stops, we’ll keep on telling you. Brands across the board refuse to stop the sale of designs featuring Warhol’s images; in fact, some designers are just joining the pack! What is this? The long list of designers and stores include Diane Von Furstenberg, Levi’s, Burton Snowboards, The Gap, Sphinx, Seiko, Royal Elastics, Loop, Paul Frank,  Bond No. 9 and Barney’s. Some of the designers are new to the Warhol scene; however, some just keep at it. Barney’s featured Warhol images in 2006 and recently they’ve swapped the images for “inspiration quotes” on Warhol’s behalf.

It is official, Christina Aguilera is coming out with her own fragrance, and I officially lost all respect for the fragrance industry. Guess what it’s called? Inspire.

“Singer Christina Aguilera has channeled the spirit of another American pop figure, Andy Warhol, and melded it with one of the hippest influences in the contemporary world — Tokyo — to produce Inspire, her first women’s scent aimed at the U.S.”

Really, do we need another Warhol inspired product? Bond no 9 already did a perfume. Also, is it called Inspire because it is inspired by a pop icon or because Christina thinks she inspires her audience? Either way, it’s just another bottle at Sophora.
