UK model Katie Price aka Jordan has launched a new perfume called Stunning:
Created by Robertet UK, the juice features a top note of mandarin, a heart of jasmine and a base of patchouli.
Jordan Stunning is available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. UK readers will have to help out those of us in the US: does this person actually qualify as a celebrity? I've never heard of her. (via cosmeticsint.co.uk, image via thisisnottingham.co.uk)
Err, I guess, if you read the Sun tabloid (let me just say I don't). She's famous for her prodigious chestage – although to her credit I guess she's been savvy enough to keep the money rolling in – she's made quite a pile for herself with the lad's mag spreads, calendars, etc etc.
And that seriously is prodigious chestage!
The prodigious chestage is a source of some concern in the UK – she's had them enlarged about once a year for ages now. If they get any bigger she'll need two seats on a plane (hers, and the one in front). Still, she married the perfect match – Peter Andre famously had a 'muscly' chest generated by transplanting fat from his legs into his pecs! I imagine her to smell of rubber – her name on the bottle would be a big disincentive to me. I expect they think blokes will buy it for their girlfriends…
Oh dear, now I'll have to google Peter Andre, never heard of him either!
And BTW, most of my emails to you have now been returned to me undelivered. If you didn't get my email today or the one I sent over the weekend, you might want to try emailing me with a different email address, if you have one?
Will do. Prepare to see a name you don't recognise!
Darling you are missing so much entertaining trashiness – first the WAGS now Jordan/Katie. Must try harder!!! (You'd enjoy it, I'm sure.)
She's a z-cup, c-list sleb here in the UK. She started out as a topless model in the daily newspapers (there's a tradition of having a mostly-naked girl on Page 3 of at least one of them), and has done a Playboy shoot in the US. She met her husband Peter Andre on a reality TV show where they stick a bunch of slebs in the jungle, make them do vile things and film them 24/7 for a month while the public phones in to vote one out every couple of days. (And people think Britain is classy. Hmm.) She and Peter recently had their second child together (Princess Tiaamii) and the pregnancy was filmed and broadcast as a series. Here's their website http://www.katieandpeter.info/
Peter has his own fragrance http://www.celebrityperfume.co.uk/ Look! The bottle's shape like his six-pack abs! How classy is that?
You've got to love them. And they're trying to break America, just like the Beckhams. Watch out…
Thanks for the scoop! We have plenty of trashy celebs here, but “topless model in the daily newspapers” is not a phrase that resonates in the US.
And I could be wrong, but don't think the Beckhams are having much success capturing attention here yet? Some celeb watcher in the US will need to comment if I'm entirely mistaken.
Happy Spirit sounds good & the bottle is cute.
The name 'Stunning' puts me off Katie/Jordan's. It sounds like it's going to be too strong for me.
LOL — liked “Stunned”? Doubt this one will come to the US, so I'll be spared.
I'm not a huge fan of Chopard scents, for the most part, but some of their bottles are pure genius: the big red tessellated block of Madness, the little Taj Mahal that's Casmir, the faceted blue diamond for Wish. This one is also gorgeous–probably the best heart-shaped bottle I've ever seen.
I'm a sucker for osmanthus (Shanghai is a fabulous and overlooked scent, if anyone else loves this note; it's got it in spades and, despite the name, it's got nothing heavily oriental to detract from its freshness) and I've liked some other Chopard scents, but a shame about the name. Happy Spirit? Sounds like sport socks or a jogging bra!!
You know, I had never thought about it but you're right, they do a good job with the packaging.
I think it is the name of one of their jewelry or watch ranges (?)
Interesting. That would explain it. Scuze my ignorance! I'm not very *up* on things. (Too busy making clafoutis!) In fact, the last two Chopard scents, Wish Pink Diamond and Wish Turquoise Diamond, went right over my head, too. Just saw them here while exploring this great site of yours. Did you like them, in the final analysis? Loved the original Wish bottle, speaking of packaging, although someone had mentioned hers rolling right off her bureau and smashing in a jillion pieces on her hardwood floor. Grrrrr.
Hey, I only know it because I was doing a google search on the fragrance name. I don't buy jewelry or watches. And never tried either WPD or WTD! Ought to. Can't keep up…
'Stunning' is a stronger (it's the jasmine) version of 'Sweet Darling'. 'Sweet Darling' is a weaker version of Angel Innocent'.
'Stunning' is also stronger then 'Angel Innocent'. It's given me a killer headache. I'm going round in circles – is this making any sense?
Haven't tried Sweet Darling, but don't love Angel Innocent so sounds like I don't need Stunning 🙂
Here's the best selling celebrity fragrances of 2007 in the UK:

Interesting, thanks! Just read a different UK list somewhere this morning, but it might have been from a specific UK chain of stores. It showed Aguilera at #1, and Sean John Unforgivable beating Mariah Carey.
I'm getting confused.
Is this list for US sales?
