Shania Starlight by Stetson, Roger & Gallet Cedrat ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 23 May 2007 9 Comments

Shania Starlight by Stetson perfumeRoger & Gallet Cedrat

Stetson will launch a second fragrance fronted by country music star Shania Twain this September. Shania Starlight by Stetson follows 2005's Shania by Stetson, and is intended to "show off a different side of Twain...aiming for a more feminine scent not so closely associated with country music".

Developed by Givaudan's Caroline Sabas, the fragrance is described as a "fruity floral" with top notes of mandarin and lemon, apple blossom and white freesia; a heart of star magnolia, dewy gardenia, night blooming jasmine and musk, and a drydown of creamy sandalwood, cashmere woods, sugi wood, tonka and amber.

Note that perfumer Caroline Sabas also created Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy and J Lo Miami Glow.

Shania Starlight by Stetson will be available in 15, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching body products. (quotes via Women's Wear Daily, image via casatwain)

Roger & Gallet is modernizing their packaging, and has introduced a new unisex fragrance, Cédrat Eau fraîche parfumée, based on the Cedrat lemon (also known as citron). The notes for the "dazzlingly fresh and luminous scent" include citron, grapefruit, water fruit, cardamom, basil, mint, ozonic notes, musk, cedar, white amber and vetiver.

Roger & Gallet Cédrat Eau fraîche parfumée is available in 100 and 200 ml spray, or 200 and 500 ml splash. (quote via osmoz, additional information via cosmeticnews, beaute-addict)

    A fruity floral. How novel! I'm sure it will be completely different from the other several million fruity florals on the market.
    How can there be room for all of them? They can't all be selling enough to survive. I just don't get it. Even in the Eighties, when the zeitgeist was all about potent, room-filling shoulder-pad scents, there were all kinds of different scents available: they weren't all exact duplicates of Giorgio or Obsession (though there were of course plenty of clones of those).
    The Roger et Gallet sounds gorgeous, though. At least someone is bucking the trend.

    You know, there just can't be room for the avalanche of product this year no matter what fragrance family they choose! But yes, the industry is going way overboard on the fruity florals. I think that is all young people will buy, and guessing that like most celebrity scents, this one will be bought mostly by young people.

    And wish I knew of a store near me that carried all the R&Gs, I still haven't smelled their last 2 releases.

    Good gravy, another Shania??? I guess I was so underwhelmed by the first Shania that I am shocked that Coty would try to persist with her as a brand. Well, shocked is not really the word for it. Befuddled, maybe? I saw her first fragrance and the ancillary products on clearance in various stores only mere months after its relase!
    Weirdly, I feel a little disapponted that R&G is trying to “modernize” their packaging. Not that the actual quality of a product is not important, but I always felt like there was a sort of charm to their old-fashioned, slightly Edwardian packaging that transcended the pop-culture obsession with “newer, sleeker, faster” that so many other brands seem to embrace. Well, that old school style packaging got me to buy their stuff anyhow, heh! There's something really lovely about opening up packages of soap that are are wrapped up in such an old world presentation.

    I was very surprised too! Shania 1 must have sold MUCH better than I thought it did.

    And completely agree about R&G — their appeal was in the vintage packaging & feel of the line, and if they had asked me (HA!) I would say the new bottles are a huge mistake. Hope they won't be messing with the lovely boxes the soap trios come in.

    I think you all need a reality check. Shania by Stetson sold a greate amount and was one of the top sellers in 2005-2006.

    It was reported to be selling like hotcakes and was one of the best debut perfumes in history.

    And fool knows anything with Shania's name on it sells a ton. And this new perfume,Shania starlight, will also sell a great amount.

    I find it funny that those jealous of Shania make stupid comments about the product and make stuff up.

    The facts are that Shania has been a huge brand name worldwide for over a decade and anything she puts out sells lots.

    Coty was smart to have a long relationship with her and her massive fan base. Coty is smart and thats why they will have many other great selling Shania products on the market in the future.

    Not sure if I see why you think anyone here made comments because they are jealous of Shania. I don't know a darned thing about her except that I didn't think the scent was all that good. To each his own 🙂

    Well, everyone in the world knows SHANIA and her music so I don't believe you when you say that. MAN I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN and THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH and YOUR STILL THE ONE are just a few of her huge worldwide hits.

    Shania is the biggest selling country female of alltme and a brand name worldwide.

    So I hardly think it is any surprise that when a huge megastar like Shania puts her brand name on a product that it will sell excellent.

    Coty isn't making Shania into a brand, Shania has been a brand for a decade.

    So I am just putting things in perspective.

    Yes, there are alot of people jealous of Shaina because she keep her life private and lives in Switzerland and in New Zealand and she is worth 500 million on her name alone.

    As for the smell of the perfume. By all accounts it was a huge successful not only commercially but also was nomintated at the perfume awards in New York for fragrance of the year in 2006.

    I don't suppose there is much point in answering you if you already don't believe what I say.
