Josh Hartnett is Armani's Latest Face

His appeal is rather lost on me but scruffy young actor Josh Hartnett has been chosen as the face of Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men, the latest men's fragrance by Giorgio Armani. The new scent will be unveiled in June during the Spring Summer 2009 Men's Fashion Week in Milan and will be on sale worldwide starting in August. Armani is quoted as saying that Hartnett has "a charm and charisma that is magnetic. His individuality, allure and nonchalant way of being are all qualities which inspired me in the creation of this new fragrance." The face for the female version of Emporio Armani Diamonds is Beyonce Knowles.

Yu, by Mane: A $5,000 Fragrance

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

How much would you pay to smell like rain at any given moment? $5,000? Mane is hoping so, as they've launched their newest fragrance, Yu, with just such a price point.

I don't know that any perfume is worth that much, no matter how good it smells, unless it comes in some kind of jewel-encrusted bottle. But it's been impressing critics, with New York Times fragrance expert Chandler Burr saying "You can smell the money in it."

Personally, I think money smells funny.

Estee Lauder Goes After Mustang Men

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Cosmetics and Fragrance

Autoblog shot us an e-mail about this fragrant little story, and frankly, we're surprised this product didn't come around earlier. Estee Lauder's Aramis division has created a fragrance that mustang owners will no doubt want to keep in their glove boxes -- Mustang, the new fragrance for men, set to launch in July.

The Ford Mustang joins the ranks of brands teaming with the fragrance designer for cross-promotion purposes, including Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger and Coach. Their marketing folks no doubt had a meeting as well, because the fragrance is described as "bold, daring and legendary," words Ford's marketing people also associate with the vehicle.

The bold scents are lavender, ginger and lemon, while the daring is pipe tobacco and cedarwood. Legendary, represented by amber, fir balsam and patchouli, finishes off the scent.

The base model of the fragrance, so to speak, will be the cologne and aftershave, both of which will start at $20.

They even keep their packaging as streamlined and minimal as possible, although they maintain a traditional feel to maintain a look of masculinity instead of going for an ultra-modern look. The Los Angeles Fragrance is sexy and carries an air of comfort. It has notes of citrus over a spicy, woodsy base made up of ginger, clove, cardamom and sandalwood, brightened with a bit of peppermint and green tea. Price: $80.

Limited Edition John Varvatos Vintage Cologne

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

The new Limited Edition Vintage Cologne from John Varvatos is a classically masculine scent that has been updated with a subtle infusion of spices. It has its base in a woody and vaguely leathery scent, as is typical of many men's colognes, but smells less like a lumberjack biker and more like an urban sophisticate with a bit of mystery. Does that sound complex? It should, because the scent decidedly is. The smooth fragrance has notes of rhubarb, santolina, quince, silver absinthe, marine fennel, cubeb peppers, juniper berries, white lavender, cinnamon Leaves, jasmine, patchouli, oak moss, fir balsam, ashwood, Tonka beans, Turkish tobacco, madras wood, and suede. Price: $70.

SM Novella Citt� Di Kyoto

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

Cittá Di Kyoto is a perfume made by SM Novella, one of the oldest pharmacies in the world, that blends Italian and Japanese scents and sensibilities. It was released to commemorate the 40th anniversary (in 2005) of the twining of Florence and Kyoto, which are considered to be sister cities. The fragrance is very complex, with a floral head of jasmine, hawthorne and ylang-ylang, followed by fruit and iris notes, and closed with a musky, woodsy undertone, which lingers on the skin. The goal of the scent is to be sweet and sensual, and everyday perfume for some and an elegant evening fragrance for others. Price: $85/100mL.

It makes sense for Kylie Minouge to have a fragrance and even Danielle Steel isin't much of a stretch but Derek Jeter? WWD reports the captain of the New York Yankees will be creating his own fragrance with Avon. The fragrance is called Driven. The fragrance will launch in November and will eventually include a personal care line that include deodorants. The scent has top notes of grapefruit, oakmoss and spice. Details of the deal weren't released but it's certain Jeter will be well-paid (he always is).

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

We already learned that you can smell like the Daytona 500 and there are also fragrances from Hummer and Ferrari among others so a Lotus fragrance is no big surprise. The scent for the fans of the car has notes of Calabrian lemon and elemi with a heart of violet, lilac, geranium and lavender, and base notes of papyrus and moss and is meant to evoke the feeling of driving the car along the Mediterranean coastline. WWD reports that the scent was launched at the U.K.-based Perfume Shop in March. Playboy model Joanna Krupa is the spokeswoman for the fragrance which coasts around $50 and should launch officially in the U.S. sometime this fall.

Bond No. 9 is famous for their scents which celebrate New York neighborhoods but now they have taken on a global challenge by creating The Scent of Peace. The fragrance, which is unisex, has grapefruit and black currant notes with cedarwood and musk. The scent which launched this month costs $195 for the 3.4 ounce bottle and Bond No. 9 will donate $2 for every bottle that is purchased to UNICEF. intriguing idea, but I wish they were throwing a little more than $2 in UNICEF's direction.

I'm loving the brand synergy going on in the luxury field. My favorite motorcycle manufacturer Ducati is at it again. This time partnering up with Ermenegildo Zegna, the makers of men's fashion to create a new bottle for the Z Zegna cologne. The bottle is done in black lacquer with a laser-cut racing stripe and the Ducati name up the side. The scent is a mix of Sicilian bergamot, rosemary and the casoar fruit from New Guinea. The limited edition can be picked up for $60 at Sephora.

Daytona 500, The Fragrance

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

Smelling like a raceway isn't the most appealing option in the world but Elizabeth Arden is making a go of it, teaming up with the International Speedway Corporation to create a Daytona 500 fragrance. The cologne is for men and has notes of tarragon, sage, bergamot, nutmeg and sandalwood. Bottles sell for $30 and $40 and have a car-tire-like metallic and rubber top that is embossed with the Daytona 500 logo. If only they had put a little sound chip inside so that it would make race car noises when you opened it...
