New fragrances from Yves Saint Laurent, Hilary Swank to be new face of Guerlain

Posted by Robin on 17 February 2006 6 Comments

Hilary SwankHilary Swank will be the face of the fall fragrance from Guerlain, the name of which has yet to be announced.

Update: the fragrance turned out to be Guerlain Insolence. See Hilary Swank's ad for the fragrance, or a review.

Coming this spring, the yearly crop of limited editions from Yves Saint Laurent.

First, look for a Sephora-exclusive special edition of Baby Doll called Lucky Game..."which combines the original scent's signature grapefruit and rhubarb with notes of lily of the valley, black currant, grenadine and white peach".

YSL Paris Roses des Vergers fragranceIn April, look for the the yearly special edition of their iconic Paris fragrance. This year's version is Eau de Printemps Roses Des Vergers (shown). The notes include cherry blossoms, roses, blackcurrant, cyclamen, pear tree blossoms, sandalwood, Rhodes wood and musk. Roses des Vergers will be available in 125 ml Eau de Toilette.

Also coming soon from YSL: Opium Eau d'Orient

    Babydoll has too much of a grapefruit smell. Which is of course a nice smell, but it should drydown to a floral rose smell and on me it doesn't, but does on my daughter.

    I will be interesting to see what the new version smells like.

    I am always mixing up Baby Doll & In Love Again. I think Baby Doll is the sweeter of the 2, right? Since even In Love Again is sweeter than I like, I have a feeling Lucky Game won't appeal to me.

    This is so odd—I've been wearing Roses des Bois for the past two days! This new Printemps sounds beautiful, too. Hillary Swank seems an unlikely face for Guerlain at first blush. Wonder what the new scent will be??

    L, agree, she isn't what I would have expected. Maybe they are trying to change their image?

    I saw “pear tree blossoms” and had to comment. Sounds lovely, but pear blossoms actually stink (nothing like apple blossoms)! Well, at least every blossoming pear tree I've ever sniffed has; maybe there are some varieties that smell good.

    I'm sure you're right, they are probably using “artistic license” to describe a note that smells like what pear blossoms *ought* to smell like.
