Daisy Fuentes So Luxurious, Guerlain Vol de Nuit Evasion ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 15 June 2007 19 Comments

Daisy Fuentes So Luxurious perfumeDaisy Fuentes will launch So Luxurious at Kohls this July:

...So Luxurious has top notes of wild honeysuckle, beach flower accord, mandarin and watery quince; a heart of magnolia, orange flower and Living Glorious Flower of Cuba accord, and a drydown of driftwood, amber and honey. "So Luxurious actually has its roots in the development process for Dianoche," said Fuentes. "It was born from a finalist for Dianoche..."

Daisy Fuentes So Luxurious will be available in 75 ml. (via Women's Wear Daily)

Guerlain Vol de Nuit Evasion perfumeGuerlain will launch Vol de Nuit Evasion in September. Like last year's Lights of Champs Elysees, Vol de Nuit Evasion will be a travel-retail exclusive sold only at Aelia duty free stores:

Vol de Nuit Evasion is another highly feminine fragrance with a very striking design. The theme of travel and escape is particularly well suited to the travel-retail market.

No word yet on what it smells like. Guerlain Vol de Nuit Evasion will be €46 for 50 ml Eau de Toilette. (via moodiereport) Update: Vol de Nuit Evasion is a "velvety scent that opens with rose, peach and jasmine, and evolves into a trail of ambry iris wrapped in woods and vanilla". (via osmoz)

    Speaking of travel retail, I guess Guerlain must have pulled any thoughts of adding Vetiver Pour Femme to the regular market? I haven't seen it in a couple? years now in duty free. And that Evasion better not be a fruity floral, I would cry.

    I kept hearing that VPF would get added to the regular line too. Guess either not happening, or else they're in no hurry about it.

    Agree on Evasion!

    *puzzled look*

    But why is it in the Mitsouko/LHB bottle?!?

    Seriously, though, this had better not have raspberries or ozone in it.

    Not feeling very confident about what might be done to my beloved VdN.
    Beach flowers? Not finding that in any of my plant books. And watery quince as opposed to what? Dried out quince? Rotting quince? Quince jam? OK, clearly I got up on the wrong side of the bed, but it really does grate on me when companies give dumbed down lists of notes written by their marketing peoples and not the perfumers. Oh, and I looked up Cuba's national flower. Apparently it's White Butterfly Ginger or Hedychium coronarium. That would have given me a much better idea of what direction the scent is going in than Living Glorious Flower of Cuba accord. Back to jump in bed and see if I can get up on the right side. :-)

    Vol de Nuit Evasion? They should leave the sacred name of VdN alone. As for “Evasion”, that's exactly what I'll do to it. Evade. Just on principle.

    LOL — raspberries & ozone in that bottle would really be a travesty.

    Travel, escape, evasion, duty-free …. um, I'm thinking fruity-floral (did I miss the notes listed somewhere?) Probably with lychee.

    I'll be evading with Angela. We'll be wearing something obnoxious instead, because we can. Angela, care to join me in some Femme reorchestrated? On the plane to Cancun? Heh.

    Just to be clear, all those notes are in the Daisy Fuentes, not the VdN. You probably already knew that, just making sure :-)

    Don't know the notes, and not sure I'll ever see them since this isn't going into regular release. But this is somehow way more upsetting than “Lights of Champs Elysees”.

    Yeah, I knew that. If they had been in VdN there would have literally been smoke rising off of the computer screen as I typed my thoughts on it. :-)

    LOL — yep, I can picture that! They might be best off leaving that one in travel retail.

    Vol de Nuit Evasion?! This sounds scary!
    The only thing that comforts me about this is that it is only in duty free shops. Hopefully this means that the real Vol de Nuit will remain (even if probably not smell quite the same).
    Aren't sequels just plain awful?
    Well, in this case it's considered sacrilege in my book. Just the idea makes me shudder, without even knowing what the notes might be.

    Some do seem more like sacrilege than others…as I said above, Lights of Champs Elysees didn't make me bat an eye. Vol de Nuit is another matter :-)

    A Vol de Nuit flanker with pink juice?!?!? Oh, the horror!

    And that bottle? Screams “we are cheap, soulless opportunists.” I certainly hope that this is a total dud sales-wise and lives to see the light of day for as little time as possible. if Guerlain (make that LVMH) were to try and systematically make it clear to all that they have absolutely no sense of integrity, they couldn't find a better way to do it.

    Okay, now do you want to know what I really think about it? :-D

    This is the EDT version of Attrape-Coeur. I feel like the haziness of the naming here is worthy of Narciso Rodriguez. That said – it’s nice that there’s a potentially-obtainable version of attrape-coeur out there!
