Luxist Review and Giveaway: Paris Hilton's Tease Perfume

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance


Paris Hilton has quite the perfume empire. The indomitable heiress is releasing her tenth scent this month. Tease was inspired by another showy blonde, Marilyn Monroe. The box features a black and white image of Paris posed as a blonde bombshell. The pictures were shot in Los Angeles by Tony Duran. "I am all about being alluring, but with a wink, and a fun, fresh take on all that is enticingly feminine about a woman today," says Hilton in a press release.

Tease is a good name for this scent, it's not a sugar slam like many of her other scents. Sure, the fruity sweetness is there but it comes on soft in a powdery whisper. The scent starts with fruity notes of fresh Fuji apple, sunny sea mist accord, white peach nectar and Sparkling Bergamot. The heart is full of white florals: frangipani petals, night-blooming jasmine and creamy tuberose. Even the base is soft, winding up with golden amber, blonde woods and warm sand accord. It would be hard to dislike this one, Hilton has called the scent sweet and flirty and it is but like a flirt it disappears before you have time to really consider it, leaving behind just a fluffy warm memory.

The scent was created for Parlux by Steve DeMercado who has spent 20 years in the perfume business.

Luxist Review and Giveaway: With Love... Hilary Duff

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

with love by hilary duffThis one came out years ago but a bottle recently came my way so I thought I'd share it and my thoughts with you. Like its namesake, With Love... Hilary Duff with most likely resonate with someone a bit younger than myself. The scent from the popular singer and actress is aimed at teens and young women and has that familiar vanilla sweetness associated with dewy youth. But there's a little bit more going on here.

Amidst all the sweet amber, sparkling fruit and everpresent musk there's just enough spice to make it interesting. That may be why it became so popular when it launched a couple years back. The fragrance billed as an effervescent oriental has top notes of magnosteen fruits with a hint of spice. A heart of cocobolo wood and a base of amber and musk ground the scent in familiar territory. Right out of the gate it was one of the top sellers at department stores and it was nominated for Best Celebrity Women's Fragrance in The 8th Annual Basenotes Awards (it lost out to M by Mariah Carey).

I'm giving away the 1.7 ounce With Love...Hilary Duff Eau De Parfum Spray, valued at $45.
