Judith Leiber Exotic Coral ~ new perfume

Handbag & accessories designer Judith Leiber will launch Exotic Coral, a new fresh fruity floriental, in April. Notes include clementine, key lime, rum, sea breeze accord, jasmine, violet leaves, tiare, sandalwood, coconut milk and heliotrope. Exotic Coral will be available in 40 and 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

Like the other four fragrances of the brand Judith Leiber, Night, Amethyst and Topaz, the flacon mimics the shape of one of their richly bejeweled art-deco evening clutches for which they are famous among the glitzy and public-life set...

In the image of their ornate evening bags, the perfume promises to smell on the opulent side.

The fruity-floral oriental was developed by Firmenich. It opens on top notes of clementine, key lime, rum, and a sea breeze accord. The floral heart features jasmine, violet leaves and Tiare flower. The creamy base notes include sandalwood, coconut milk and heliotrope.

Expect to see it from April 2013. Available in 40 ml and 75 ml.

007's New Caribbean-inspired Fragrance

Underwater agent: 007's new Caribbean-inspired fragrance

Whether he's driving his Lotus Esprit S1 into the water off the coast of Sardinia or emerging out of the ocean in La Perla swimming trunks in the Bahamas, Bond is no stranger to tropical tides. So it comes as no surprise that the spy's latest fragrance takes inspiration from the sun-drenched seas surrounding the Caribbean. The new edition of their long standing line of fragrance hits the stores and it comes with an oceany twist.


The bottle is probably the coolest thing about it. It comes in a steel mesh kind of design with a mesh cap attached around it, I'm guessing this is to represent a gun. You open the top by twisting the sides which slides the mesh cap down to reveal the nozzle. A very cool bottle cap in my opinion. I believe I will buy this in the gold version because like Bond, it seems classy and masculine with a sweet "twist"

The apple is so obvious and the whole thing reminds azzaro silver black. The other perfume that this reminds as time goes by is la nuit de l'homme, with its lavender and sweetness.

The sillage and longevity are above average and the price very reasonable. It is a nice job but nothing ground breaking or classy at the extent of James Bond. The perfume is masculine and has something old fashioned but in the modern masculine way and is not powdery at all. For the lovers of Hugo Boss perfumes, the lovers of la nuit de l'homme and Silver black, worth checking out this one...


With fresh top notes of lime, aniseed and bergamot, Ocean Royale's masculine undercurrent is anchored with a base of teak and cedar woods, tonka bean and Jamaican coffee. Light and versatile, our only criticism is that the bottle doesn't convert into submarine.


Available now exclusively at Harrods. £32 for 75ml.

The Skinny On Laurence Dumont Eau de Parfum, Vanille Bourbon

This was blind buy, and its the best perfume I have, so far. I was looking for a long lasting gourmet vanilla without florals, green or fruit notes. Vanille Patchouli represents a travel in the Indian Ocean. The fresh top note includes citrus fruits, neroli and geranium, leading to patchouli and peru balm. The base notes include tonka bean and vanilla.

This a is a lovely vanilla scent. Uncomplicated yummy vanilla. It does not smell cheap or plastic. And the delivery was super fast. Great seller and great product. Perfect, spray 5 sprays in the morning, can still smell it at night. Its not overpowering at s all, light and warm. Love it! Smells so yummy

It's a vanilla that smells like the essential oil. It's a very warm scent, no alehydes. So comforting to wear. I really like it and it lasts well too. Bottom line, sweet and spicy, with a touch of floral and citrus to lighten it up. Great for the price, and definitely unique.
