Britney Spears In Control Curious, new fragrances from Armani, Hugo Boss and more

Posted by Robin on 20 January 2006 28 Comments

Britney Spears In Control Curious perfumeBritney Spears will launch a limited edition fragrance in April, In Control Curious:

The juice, concocted by Quest's Claude Dir, features a top note of loquat fruit; a heart of midnight orchid, crème brûlée, black vanilla bean and tonka crystals, and a drydown of sugared sandalwood and musk.

Britney Spears In Control Curious is in 100 ml Eau de Parfum only.

A few more details on the upcoming Armani Code for women:

Code for Women has top notes of orange, a heart of orange blossom and jasmine and a drydown of vanilla and honey. Carlos Benaim, vice president and senior perfumer at International Flavors & Fragrances, blended the scent over an 18-month period along with Dominique Ropion, senior perfumer at IFF, and IFF perfumer Olivier Polge. (both above via Women's Wear Daily)

Hugo Boss will launch the Hugo Duo for men in February, a limited edition...

...two-in-one fragrance spray, which on one side has the original grapefruit, green apple and pine needle-infused Hugo jus and on the other side has the citrusy and woody Hugo Energise fragrance.

Davidoff Summer FizzDavidoff will launch the Summer Fizz collection (shown) this spring, with limited edition summer versions of Cool Water, Cool Water Woman, Cool Water Deep, Davidoff Echo and Davidoff Echo Woman, each "updated with a dash of citrus and mint in the top notes". (via moodiereport)

Lacoste Cool Play, another limited edition, will also launch in February:

The jus itself is based around the aroma of gin and tonic. The gin accord is created with juniper berries, while the tonic effect is achieved with coriander leaf, green sap and violet leaves. (both above via cosmeticsinternational)

    Sorry to confess but the new Britney sounds good. I thought the first was well crafted too, I'm just not that big on magnolia.

    V, if they don't overdo the sweet fruit, it might be nice! Do find the black bottle vastly preferable to the old blue one.

    I am into the scents, not the label. Britney or not, it's a delicious fragrance, right up my alley. Hate to put more money in her pocket, but I love this fragrance. I also got an adorable hot pink bag with it, so I am pleased. 🙂

    I was really interested in In Control fragrance when it came out and I wanted to try it. But I couldn't find it in any shop (I live in a little country in Europe). So I decided to take a risk and order it from Internet without smelling it first because I liked the reviews and descriptions about it. And I have to say that the risk was worthwhile – I absolutely love this perfume. It's not my favorite but it's still something I could use every day. I'm not a big fan of very sweet scents but I have to admit that all Britney's sweet perfumes are really pleasant. This one is the sexiest and suits me the best.

    I smelled it very quickly on a card, but I wasn't able to get a sample so I never tried it on skin.

    You are so kind! But it isn't even made anymore so I'm not likely to review it. And you know I did not adore Curious!

    yeah me neither! its to synthetic! and it doesnt have a long shelf life at all. im still amazed at how well its done and is doing still! but i just adore in control. its completely different from the original and usually flankers cant compete with the original but this one out does curious. BIG TIME!

    It's rare when flankers are better than the original! Glad you love this one, & hope you stocked up on it!
