As fragrance fans wait the April 2009 arrival of Chic--the latest in a long line of popular perfume products from the performer-- Lovetripper takes a look at the superstar's other olfactory offerings:
Like the facets of its oval container, Sensational's pink juice captures the many moods of a woman. The fresh fragrance of freesia, crisp apple, plum and pear glace melt into a heart of romantic mimosa, transparent jasmine, rose, orris, muguet and violet, with the smoldering scent of amber and musk base notes leaving a warm glow.
An olfactory ode to the orient, the slender grace of Enchanting's container holds a scent which starts with the subtle introduction of osmanthus, red berries and cyclamen before the fragrance unfolds, revealing a heart of diamond orchid, gardenia, freesia and mimosa. Sandalwood, amber and tonka base notes offer a sensuous conclusion.
Like the city for which it was named Spring in Paris offers an air of mystery, a certain je ne sais quoi with its unique blend of mandarin orange, cassia and red current, leading to a mesmerizing melange of syringa, jasmine, osmanthus and lily-of-the-valley mid-notes and base notes of musk and vanilla.
Nominated as Fragrance of the Year at the annual FiFi Awards, Belong begins with red pepper berries, bergamot and watery pineapple, a jubilant joining which leads to the heart of scent-- a delicate combination of sherry baby orchid, crystal peony and cotton flower, while the warmth of hinoki wood lingers in the memory as the bottom note.
A symphony of harmonic scents, Notes features a melodic melange of mimosa, nectarine gardenia and water lily before creating a floral fantasy crescendo of peony, heliotrope and orchid. Australian sandalwood, guaiac wood, vetiver and white musk strike the perfect final note.
Like the woman who inspired the signature scent, Celine Dion is a sophisticated blend of red berry, peppercorn, poppy, cyclamen, muguet and water lily, leading to mid-notes of Tahitian tiare flower, mimosa, orange blossom and yellow rose. Amber, blonde woods, sandalwood and musk mingle to create a memorable base.
Chic is scheduled to arrive on store shelves in April 2009. The perfume promises to be a blend of aquatic greens, watermelon, peony, gardenia, lotus flower, green violet, blond woods, sandalwood, amber and musk.
