Created by Daphne Bugey, Roma Uomo Green Swing is a fragrance with a fougere heart (geranium, violet leaves, and tonka bean) animated by the light freshness of fruits and a delicate spicy touch of cardamom.

The same colors with silver writings are also on the case with a material effect and are found in the image of the visual campaign.

The green flacon in the foreground is resting on a white surface. Behind it a golf iron that reflects the intense color of the glass and a white ball like the cap. All framed between two different shades of Green, which give an idea of the upcoming Swing to the masculine.

Laura Biagiotti Roma Uomo Green Swing is available in 40 and 75ml Eau de Toilette at seleceted stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Laura Biagiotti.

Oh! The Origin is the feminine half of its

 

Spanish, Catalan, jewelry house was founded in 1920. Sinds then Tous always transmits emotions to us. With each of this creations the brand seeks to amaze us with details and in this case seduce us with a new fragrance.

With these fragrances we wanted to offer something to the men and women who value everything classic, but who have the personality to adapt this to our time, to turn it around, adding a personal touch, and update it.

Rosa Tous

Oh! The Origin is inspired by the seduction and flirting of getting dressed up to go out. It’s aimed at young, sophisticated women who are sensible but fun, and has a casual but elegant touch. A fragrance that will make you feel confident. Oh! The Origin is the feminine half of its masculine homonym.

Some examples? Men who wear traditional loafers, but in yellow; they reclaim the bow tie but wear it with an outdoor shirt or sports jacket, and hang out in classicstyle modern barbershops. Women who match their grandmothers’ embroidered tablecloths with designer cutlery; they handwrite elegant invitations to informal brunches at home, and customise family pearls with a fun brooch.

The woman who wears Oh! The Origin fragrance shows initiative and a strong character. She is creative and a dreamer, but she has very clear ideas: she knows what she wants and she works as hard as she can to achieve it. The TOUS woman is someone who is loving, fun and young at heart.

Rosa Tous

It’s the new classicism, the new dandy, the new lady. A return to the traditional, but with a highly crafted touch. Sophisticated-vintage, it was formulated from its masculine counterpart, Tous 1920 The Orgin created last year by the same perfumer, Daphné Bugey

Created by Daphné Bugey, the opening of Tous Oh! The Orgin is crowned by the vivid and spicy accords of pink pepper and sparkling and juicy notes of tangerines, lemons and blackcurrants, while the heart notes reveal the powdery elegance of rose and precious Iris. The base notes include musk, followed by tanka bean, ambrox and vanilla.

Top notes: Pink pepper, Lemon, Blackcurrant, Tagerine
Heart notes: Rose, Iris
Base notes: Tonka bean, Vanilla, Musk

The flacon is made from elegant and highquality glass, which makes the fragrance a luxurious addition to the dressing table. Its size, with smooth and rounded curves, gives it a feminine and sensual touch. The rose gold metallic lid is especially eyecatching and makes it stand out, as a trademark of the brand, bearing the emblem of the Tous fragrance house.

Just like a piece of jewellery, the glass flacon comes in a matte box with a suggestive blush tone which has been created by adding a pink pigment to a nude base, which evokes the blush colour produced by the redness of the skin. It has a similar texture to that of linen paper, which gives it a hand-crafted touch and which is accentuated with a printed name, which seems to be engraved by hand, and once again reminds us of a jeweller’s since it has been created in a very popular tone; rose gold.

Tous Oh! The Orgin is available as 30, 50 and 100ml Eau de Parfum.

Tribute to the English spirit: Penhaligon’s Portrait Collection

 

Penhaligon’s presented their new Portrait Collection. The new line which includes four fragrances with such dramatic names: The Tragedy of Lord George, The Revenge of Lady Blanche, Much Ado About The Duke and The Coveted Duchess Rose is a tribute to the English spirit; between establishment, humour and provocation. In fact… it reveals the secrets of the British aristocracy.

 

 

Penhaligon’s The Tragedy of Lord George (for men)

 

Lord George is a wealthy and respected man, the archetypal patriarch. He seems to embody the noblest values of the aristocracy: virtue, respect, loyalty and faithfulness.

Deceptively traditional Lord George. Lord George is a perfect reminder that one should be aware of appearances. He himself maintains that one should never be able to divine what a man is thinking. This ability being, of course, the key to a happy marriage. Honourable, to a tee, his fidelity to King and Country is resolute. His penchant for muttering ‘the flesh is weak’ over the breakfast kippers is entirely without explanation.

Top notes: Brandy
Heart notes: Shaving soap
Base notes: Tonka Bean

His fragrance reflects his essence; seemingly traditional, yet with hidden secrets. A woody amber fougère from perfumer Alberto Morillas, with rum, tonka bean and ambrox.

 

Penhaligon’s The Revenge of Lady Blanche (for women)

 

A darling of London Society, and one of the most influential ladies in Britain. Her aloof beauty, mysterious past and blazing passions are scrutinised by all from shop-girls to Royalty. She would do anything to climb the social ladder still further. Her latest scheme is to poison her husband, Lord George, inheriting his wealth and burying his secrets for ever!

Lady Blanche is a picture of devotion, charm – and criminal intentions. A social butterfly with a dangerous bite one might say. Shakespeare did try to warn us ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’. Indeed, a woman does always know. Lady Blanche wishes, oh how she wishes! that she did not. The real crime you see is the inelegance of not having kept all of this where it belongs – in the dark, with the lights off! (Cross her at your peril).

Top notes: Powdery orris
Heart notes: Narcissus flower
Base notes: Hyacinth

Her fragrance reflects her very essence. A green floral narcotic, created by perfumer Daphné Bugey. – Charmingly dangerous.

 

Penhaligon’s The Coveted Duchess Rose (for women)

 

Daughter of Lady Blanche and Lord George, Rose married a Duke to escape the stifling rigidity of her family and to become the Coveted Duchess Rose. At first, naively romantic, she has now become disillusioned and frustrated in an unsatisfactory marriage.

A fresh, sweet Rose – ready for the picking. Ever since her recent marriage (anything but a bed of roses) our demure Duchess is urgently desirous of desire. Her bosom is aching for release from the corsets of Victorian life, she dreams of nothing but Paradise Regained, again and again. When one’s husband is at the theatre every evening, one does become terribly bored…

Top notes: Mandarin
Heart notes: Rose
Base notes: Musky wood

Always looking for fun and frivolity (and perhaps love affairs), her fragrance is a not so innocent fresh rose. A woody rose from perfumer Christophe Raynaud.

 

Penhaligon’s Much Ado About The Duke (for men)

 

Conforming to the expectations of his class, Duke Nelson married the most coveted girl in London: the Duchess Rose. Yet the Duke is eccentric and unusual, his whimsical airs set society tongues wagging. Rumours abound that his marriage is yet to be consummated!

Who could say if it was the evenings spent at the theatre that gave the Duke his ravishing, ravished air. A slight perfume of intrigue engulfs him nevertheless. Exquisitely ubiquitous, a decadent dandy, an utterly charming chap, virulently ambivalent, a thoroughly ambiguous first son-in-law – hearts throb wherever he goes, but not the ones you might think. His wife agrees that the theatre is no place for a Duchess. Sometimes she longs not to be a Duchess…

Top notes: Peppery rose
Heart notes: Gin
Base notes: Leathery wood

His perfume is as ambivalent as he is: a floral yet masculine woody fragrance. A spicy woody rose from perfumer Daphné Bugey, with rose, gin and cumin.

 

The four Penhaligon’s Eau de Parfums come in 75ml stylish bottles with gold-plated animal heads as stoppers, priced at £178 ($218).

Come into the wonderful world of Penhaligon’s.

 

 

 

WILD BY DSQUARED2

The Dsquared2 WILD 2014 campaign showcases the fragrance in an exceptionally angular manner. Model Silvester Ruck is at the center of the advertisements that feature little apparel aside from a low riding pair of unbuttoned jeans.

In spite of the lack of accessories and embellishments present in these Dsquared2 images, photographer Steven Klein made the production appear incredibly intense. Dark purple shading was used to embellish snapshots of thick angular lines, each one criss crossing directly above Ruck’s body.

Designer: Dan & Dean Caten
Photographer: Steven Klein
Art Director: Giovanni Bianco
Model: Silvester Ruck

For us fragrance has an emotional connection to who we are, it uncovers a long-held desire or dream, which is why the concept of Wild has such an intrinsic link to us and the ideology of Dsquared2. The ultimate authentic expression of self is to live with complete freedom of speech and mind, we are fascinated with this concept especially in today’s society.

Dean and Dan Caten, Dsquared2.

Released in September 2014. This masculine fragrance symbolizes freedom, speed and pride, presented by photographs of wild stallion and model Silvester Ruck, signed by Steven Klein. 

 

A rife sense of masculinity abounds this production. Klein’s work speaks to the serious nature of the product, a feature that will certainly be appreciated by fans of the Dsquared2 label in addition to cologne aficionados.

It’s a raw roll in the hay, the whole idea is to be a bit raw. Even the bottle is kind of harnessed

Dan & Dean Caten, Dsquared2

Dsquared2 Wild, described as a fragrance for the contemporary and self-sufficient man, is an evolution of Dsquared2’s olfactory journey inspired by and founded in the elements of nature. Building on a pathway forged by debut scent He Wood and follow up Potion, Wild is a fragrance chapter for Dsquared2 that explores man’s desires and his connection to the natural and urban world that surrounds him. This enigmatic and covetable concept is also at the heart of Dsquared2’s DNA: the freedom for a man to express his sensuality and his deepest desires. Wild materializes Dsquared2’s passion for the avant-garde and unorthodox approach to fashion.

Aromatic Santolina with tones of Resin are evident, while notes of Opoponax mixed with Ambery accents of Neolabdanum express virility, strength and force. Vegetal Amber is combined with deep notes of Humus to round off the scent. An overwhelming perfume that announces a free and wild soul. The woody – earthy fragrance is created by Daphne Bugey and Annick Menardo.

Top notes: Unexpected Ride: Suddenly the air is filled with the aromatic freshness of Santolina with evocative and vibrant tones of resin: mandarin, cardamom, polygonum
Heart: Riding free: Distinctive and intense notes of Opoponax, mixed with modern ambery accents of Neolabdanum, express virility, strength and forcelavender, geranium, ozone
Base: Free your Passion: The sensuality of Vegetal Amber expresses a sillage full of character. Combined with primitive and deep notes of Humus this fragrance exudes the discovery of the unexpected.cedar, patchouli, amber

Availble in three sizes: Eau de Toilette 30ml, 50ml and for the real stallions 100ml.

Elegantly shaped with soft lines that gently curve into rounded shoulders, Wild’s clear glass flacon is tall and refined. Finished with a diminutive shiny black cap, the bottle is symbolically harnessed with supple black leather that draws inspiration from stallion bridals, saddles and bondage style straps. This bold design element, conceived by Dean and Dan Caten, underscores the contrast of the untamed concept of the scent that is captured within. The flacon uniquely transmits Dsquared2’s philosophy, by translating uninhibited sex appeal into an ultra chic and modern design.
