Alexander McQueen will launch MyQueen this fall:
The fragrance has been developed around four, instead of three olfactory levels, signed Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion of IFF. Suave notes of sweet almond and violet open the scent, which settle into an accord of orange flower absolute, white musk, heliotrope and white flowers. This leads to notes of patchouli, cedar and vetiver ending on iris and vanilla accords. (via cosmeticnews)
Alexander McQueen MyQueen is available in Eau de Parfum (35, 50 and 100 ml), Parfum (15 ml), Shower Gel and Body Lotion.
Coming this September, limited edition packaging of J'Adore by Christian Dior called Adoration en Or. Same juice, new bottle. (via parfumessence)
My Queen: ah, the old four olfactory level trick. hrmph.
I'm not a fan of Anne Flipo's and Dominique Ropion's creations but it will be interesting to smell if they are indeed able to isolate the iris and vanilla for the drydown without the patchouli totally contaminating the iris.
Let's hope this one does not smell like sweat! LOL!
Hope you are well, R.
Hugs!
LOL!!!
Now I like both of them, but I detest patchouli, so we shall see. Love the bottle!
Hi R! Just looking for a nice sweat-free summer, LOL 🙂
I'm intrigued by this new McQueen scent – can you guess why?!? I was hoping to get to try it at Saks this weekend, but alas, I did not.
Did someone say “patch hag”?
On a more serious note, did Saks expect to have it in store?
I thought we'd get a “sneak preview” of this, just like the Stella Rose Absolut.
BTW, did you hear what's happening tomorrow at Sephora – Union Square
June 24
7 pm Meet Alan Cumming, Tony Award winning actor and author, as he signs bottles of his new signature scent, Cumming. A provocative new approach to fragrance, Cumming is smart, witty, versatile, and very sexy – both the scent and the man.
*Purchase of fragrance is required for an autograph
I'm tempted~~! wanna meet me there?
Ah, gotcha. BTW, how was Stella Rose Absolut? I haven't heard a peep about it.
And — seething with jealousy!! You should absolutely go, he just sounds like a gas!! And ask him, what is the “Cumming of Age” product listed as “coming soon” (excuse the pun, it is unavoidable with this fragrance!!) on his website?
Gotta have this just for the bottle! I'm the queen of purple!
Same!!! Still bummed that I didn't like Mandragore, I really wanted that bottle.
Oh those bottles… lovely, both the McQueens and the J'Adore. Purrrrty. I'm helpless to resist the purty bottle. Thanks for sharing those.
Beautiful bottle! I hope the juice is worthy of it.
I also loved the Truly (Birmingham) teal laydown bottle, and if I had come even close to liking it, I would have bought that one. But I didn't.
I like pretty bottles too!! Can't always tell from a picture but I'll be interested to see these in person.
The Truly bottle is lovely. I haven't yet tried the juice but not hearing raves so far.
