It is the second entry in the line from perfumer Celine Ellena, and includes notes of grapefruit, cardamom, Bourbon geranium, lovage, Haitian vetiver, patchouli, iris and ylang ylang.

Update: see a review of Estee Lauder Pure White Linen.

John Varvatos will launch Vintage, a seasonal variation on his first scent, in late summer. It is...

...described as having a "darker and [more] gentlemanly-like" feel than the first...Rodrigo Flores-Roux of Quest International blended Vintage, which is described as an aromatic chypre. It blends top notes of Moroccan coastal plants, rhubarb and quince paste; a heart of oakmoss, patchouli, balsam fir and floral notes, and a base of rare woods with tonka beans, tobacco and suede.

John Varvatos Vintage is an Eau de Toilette, and is available in 125 ml.

And Revlon will launch Flair this July as it attempts to reenter the prestige fragrance market. It was created by perfumer Annie Buzantian, and...

... is described as a modern chypre. Its top notes are of passion fruit and black currant; its heart is of peony, lily of the valley and ylang, and its drydown is of patchouli, plum and praline.

Update: the launch of Flair was postponed until 2007 following serious financial difficulties at Revlon; we shall have to see if it ever appears. Update 2, 7/07: Revlon has finally launched Flair, but in mass market rather than prestige. Revlon Flair is being sold in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, or in 15 ml Eau de Parfum Rollerball.
