Kathy Hilton (Paris Hilton's mother, for anyone else who had no idea, and if you must know more, here is her Wikipedia entry) has launched her debut fragrance, My Secret:
Elegance. Sophistication. Words synonymous with My Secret by Kathy Hilton, a captivating light, clean, floral fragrance that captures the mysterious secrets of life through a blend of pure, natural ingredients. Perfect for day or night My Secret by Kathy Hilton was inspired by the delicate aromas experienced through her travels around the globe and delicately fusing them together to give you in an intimate and personal scent.
The fragrance features notes of mandarin, freesia, peony, rose, star jasmine, apricot leaf, sandalwood, vanilla musk and gilded amber.
Kathy Hilton My Secret is available in 50 and 100 ml spray Eau de Parfum*, 7.5 ml "vintage roller-ball purser", Body Lotion and Shower Gel. (quote via macys, additional information via kathyhiltonfragrance, found via beautyaddict)
Note: Kathy Hilton's website says it is an Eau de Parfum; Macy's says it is an Eau de Toilette.
Someone. Please. Make. It. Stop.
I know when I think elegance and sophistication I think a heart shaped bottle.
LOL! It kind of reminds me of a chicken. A faceted, pink chicken.
Ugh.
Ain't gonna happen, sorry!
Eshellmoyer, exactly, LOL!
Oh dear, now I see it too.
I've just completed Chandler Burr's Wonderful “The Perfect Scent”, so I shake my head at the list of notes. Pure and natural, huh?
When is Dina Lohan's scent coming out? I love these parents who feel they must live vicariously through their celebrity children. Although, why they are celebrities in the first place is beyond my comprehension.
The “pure and natural” cracked me up. I love natural “gilded amber”!
*sigh*
I just finished reading “Be My Guest”, Conrad Hilton's memoir of his life and business in the hospitality industry. He seemed to be an honest man with integrity, and still down to earth even with all his success. He might be rolling over in his grave at the image his family is portraying today.
Kathy, did anyone ask you to share your secret with us — nooo, so for pete's sake, enough already! Who's next, Paris's dog accesory?
Um, also you'd expect this highly sophistiqué bottle and juice to contain a wee bit more delicate/exotic notes, I mean she does claim to be well-traveled, right? Shoot, I can't even get the irony right, can I, LOL?
And why does *Kathy Hilton* have an entry in Wikipedia?! That's it, I'm off to write up my own!
No doubt he is rolling over in his grave!
LOL — she is in Wikipedia because she's got money, I guess! And has a perfume for the same reason.
I know nothing, of course, but can't see this selling. Young women buy Paris Hilton's scents because they want to buy her lifestyle. I don't think young women are lusting after Kathy Hilton's lifestyle, and I don't think older women buy celeb perfumes in such huge numbers. We'll see!
And if this isn't joy enough for one lifetime, she's also launched a skin care line.
Is it just me, or does that bottle look horribly similar to Vera Wang's Princess?
Or a chicken,as WinterWheat spotted.
I thought exactly the same V. re Vera Wang Princess.
Kathy Hilton vs Vera Wang.
The bottles are the same & the perfume notes sound very similar.
Possible lawsuit on the way???
Obviously, the “fruity floral” is now intended to appeal not only to those in Paris's age range and younger, but also the age range of her mother. I really don't have much of a problem with Paris's “persona” (viewed in the context of a long history of “socialites”)… but what woman would really aspire to smell like Paris Hilton's MOTHER, for goodness' sakes!?
But hey, at least it's available in a “vintage” roller ball….
What in the world…Now everyone and their mama has a celeb perfume!!!! LOL
Oh dear. This just makes me giggle!
Oy vey. You'd think a woman as experienced and worldly as Mrs. Hilton would choose a more sophisticated bottle, let alone more sophisticated notes. I can't wait to see this stuff stocked by the hundreds at my Marshall's.
And yes, I'm being sarcastic. Very. Sarcastic.
They are very enterprising, those Hiltons
I'm stuck on K's chicken now, I'm afraid, that is all I will ever see when I look at that bottle.
There are surprisingly few copycat lawsuits, I suppose because they are so hard to prove. Haven't smelled them yet so don't know how similar they really are, but kind of doubt this one will be as “youthful” as VW.
LOL — the “vintage-ness” of the roller-ball is another crack up. My grandmother always used a roller-ball to apply fragrance
Paris's sister can't be far behind!
Yep!
Obviously they are going for the lower end of the aspirational market!
C'mon now. She's captured the SECRETS OF LIFE. Just for YOU.
Oh trust me, she's already gone there! Excuse me, I have go to the corner and cringe now *gritting teeth*
Surely she must have a granny? All that silver money out there…
I got my underwear in a real twist a couple years ago when Trina (some rap wannabe person) came out with Diamond Princess, because the ad copy was pretty much word for word (and note) a copy of the previously launched Alfred Sung Paradise for Women. DOn't believe? Here's the two
Trina Diamond Princess, copy from http://www.urb1.com:
The top note is composed of Dewy Tropical Greens and Tagete Absolute, interwoven with Juicy White Peach, lending and initial spark of playful whimsy. The heart note glows with Night Blooming Jasmine, Gardenia Buds and Rose de Mai petals. The airy soul of the fragrance evolves into plush happiness, blended from the notes of Delicate Orchid, Vanilla, Exotic Sandalwood and Cashmere Musk.
and Alfred Sung Paradise Women, copy from imagination perfumery:
Alfred Sung Paradise has dewy notes of tropical greens and juicy white peach mix with mid-notes of night-blooming jasmine and gardenia buds, creating the perfect balance between delicate orchid vanilla, sandalwood and cashmere musk.
okay. I suppose RIviera Concepts, who are behind Paradise could be connected with Beauty and Fashion Creation Inc, but even so, really now.
LOL!
Wow, wonder if they smell exactly the same? They sure sound like they would.
Now for a scent from Paris Hilton's chihuahua!!
and scentiments descrip adds in the rose de mai and tagetes which are also in the Trina copy (I do remember seeing them in the copy when it was first at nordstrom, but it isn't there anymore). I can understand similiar smelling scents with similiar note listing, but these are identical. You can see this really irks me! LOL Maybe it's just one of those funky coincidences of the universe.
I'm sure there must be a few housefrau living in the middle of no-where who will want to wear this “sent” in the hope that their offspring will one day bring in fame and fortune…. and/or complete disgrace.
Certainly doesn't sound like a funky coincidence, but don't know if it is copying either — could be something closer to “cooperation”. I just don't know.
This one actually made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
And I sure as hell don't find the words elegance and sophistication to be synonymous with anyone in the Hilton family.
I have not tried it, but have to agree that I don't assume it is elegant…
