“I wanted something rich and creamy and sexy, but still youthful.”

Handpicked by Marc himself, Karlie Kloss is the star in this floral inspired perfume ad. Love it or Hate it Indies?

With all the perfumes out there, it’s sometimes easier if we classify ourselves to a specific type to break down the confusion. Maybe you like the subtler scents, the vanilla flavored, angelic fragrances, or maybe you’re more “out there”, you prefer those scents that really state your presence in the room. Kat Von D seems to have found the answer to both of these. Her two perfumes, Saint and Sinner, take a walk on the wild side with Sinner, and give you that angelic touch with Saint. Haven’t tried it yet, but we hear they’re pretty awesome. Pick one up at Sephora stores this September!

Many of us thought Acqua Di Parma threw in the towel when it came to creating more women’s fragrances. After all, the last on released was in 2004, just over 5 years ago. But the company’s back to surprise us all, and after a long time-out they’ve finally released another perfume for women. Magnolia Nobile is the latest in Acqua Di Parma’s collection of vanilla flavors and flowery scents. Pick one up in stores this September!

If you ever dreamt of creating and selling your own perfume, here’s the perfect shot. Video game company PlayFirst has released Passport to Perfume, a game centered around a woman by the name of Sophia who creates her own fragrances and manages a boutique that sells them. I knew their were video games for just about everything, but somehow I didn’t think this would make the list. But hey, I’m not complaining!

News has broken out that a woman in Ft. Worth, Texas caused quite the disaster. Just when the woman decided to spray a bit of her favorite perfume, 34 people ended up hospitalized and 100 others treated at the scene of the spray before they were released. What firefighters initially thought of as a reaction to a gas leak was really a bad reaction to the perfume! Hopefully she’ll be more careful next time.

Daphne Guinness has collaborated with Comme des Garçons on a perfume to be released this September. Daphne said she’s been mixing and matching oils and scents for years just to find that perfect one. “I’ll be in airports or in a taxi and the driver will say, ‘What are you wearing?” she says of the perfume. I guess it must be a hit.

Justin’s fave perfume doesn’t surprise me at all…

“Contrast, ambiguity, duality. Gareth Pugh said about his style: “it’s a struggle between lightness and darkness;” this is what I tried to translate in his perfume. The contrast between different raw materials, masculine and feminine, rough and smooth, dark and light, fresh and sensual.”

Ingredients: Dill, Black Pepper, Nutmeg, Palissander, Black Tea, Amyris, White Amber, Musk

The 50ml perfume comes in its own gift box, each individually numbered between 1 to 2000!

Hopefully this is a big joke, and due to the source it just might be, but British paper the Daily Star is claiming that Amy Winehouse is in talks to launch her own perfume. She would be joining countless celebrities and although I don’t really want to smell like them either, at least they are clean. A namless industry insider seems to agree with me saying: “Frankly, she doesn’t look like she smells that nice, so doing some positive publicity to prove it doesn’t just smell of stale booze and fags would be vital.” Well, I guess if you want to smell like a bum you can begin lining up now. I won’t be joining you, but I was nice enough to pick a flattering picture of Amy.

Diptyque has been creating classic scented candles since 1961 and making my room smell amazing since I first visited their Paris store in 2007. With a sparse black and white aesthetic mimicking the elegant writing on their candles, the Diptyque store is a glamourous haven for amazing smells and helpful employees who can turn any passerby into a scent connoisseur. Asking helpful questions about your favorite scents and recommending something you are sure to love it’s hard to leave the Diptyque store without one of their amazing products. A helpful hint I learned from Diptyqye: the best way to get the true sent of a candle is to knock it out of the glass, and smell the inside of the glass. You can get the Diptyque experience at their New York location (377 Bleecker Street).

Couture Icon and lover of incorporating armor in fashion Daphine Guinness is releasing a perfume with Comme des Garcons. The scent is inspired by her past, which could either mean it smells like a Guinesss brewery or a mixture of couture and diamonds. Daphne herself says, “This has a lot of woods because that’s what I love… also the Seventies and moss.” Sounds like the prefect mixture of both.

A huge fan of classic perfumes, I have always appreciated Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium for both its scent and controversial name (I myself wear Dior’s Pure Poison, a name sure to get a reaction in the same vein as Opium). Although not as famous -or infamous- as their advertisement featuring Sophie Dahl, vintage Opium ad’s are always dangerous, exotic, and richly colored landing them at the top of the my list of perfume advertisements.
