Salvador Dali will launch Little Kiss, a women's fragrance targeting younger consumers, this coming spring.
The bottle design, inspired by Dali's iconic paintings, was created by French artist Mikael Carriau. The fruity floral fragrance was created by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny, and features notes of davana, black currant buds, red currant, wild rose, peony, tea rose, cyclamen, peach, musk, sandalwood and patchouli.
Salvador Dali Little Kiss will be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. (via cosmeticnews)
Other recent launches from Salvador Dali: Purplelight, Black Sun, Purplelips Sensual.
Coming in March from Jette Joop, Dark Sapphire, a fruity oriental gourmand fragrance for women.
The notes feature mandarin, fruits, green notes, star anise, heliotrope, rose, gingerbread accord, white amber, musk and sandalwood.
Jette Joop Dark Sapphire will be available in 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching body products. (via cosmoty.de)
Update: Dark Sapphire was developed by perfumer Jacques Huclier, and is described by Joop as "very fresh at first and then very sexy at the end". (via Women's Wear Daily)
Help, I love that bottle too! Luckily the notes sound profoundly uninteresting. Mind you, I've been quite taken by a couple of the Dalis, so this may be better than it sounds from all that fruit.
I like the Dali bottle, but it did instantly remind me of Little Shop of Horrors
What a happy lively Salvador Dali bottle..!.. and for sure I will put Little Kiss on my totrylist
I like S.D.s fragrances.
And Jette?? Hmm, who knows. Not sure yet. She is using her fathers name to gain fast fame.
This line must be available somewhere on the counter, no? And yet I've never seen it anywhere but the discounters.
Off topic (please forgive) — Robin I give you a little thank you for your intrepid celebrity scent explorations at the end of my post on PST today. Totally forgot to give you a heads up, so here's a belated one.
I'm a bit surprised that whoever's marketing the Dali line thinks it has to sell this new scent specifically to younger purchasers as if it were some undiscovered and untapped market, since they already have at least two scents which were clearly designed for a younger audience–the unisex Dalimix (hoping to capitalize on the fabulous success of CK One two years earlier) and Eau de Dali, which is extraordinarily light, fresh, and pretty, very much in keeping with products in the 18-25 market while being better than almost any of those scents.
Maybe it's the bottle.
LOL — oh dear, I can see it now too!
I don't see it on counter in the US ever, but perhaps it is carried someplace I don't know about? They do, as you say, usually make it to the discounters eventually, and Parfums Raffy usually has most of the line.
Have not yet made it over the PST today but I will!
Guessing it's the bottle, and the new idea of using other artists to decorate the bottles?
It is a happy little bottle
Am i the only one who doesn't find the Little Kiss bottle attractive?
sounds like many perfumes nowadays target “younger customers”…wonder what they mean by young? or is it just another excuse of using some more predictable fruity floral notes?
Could be. It isn't the first bottle that isn't directly based on one of Dali's artworks (that would be Laguna Homme, which has the shape of the bottle for Le Roi Soleil Homme without the embossed sunburst, or in fact any decoration whatever). That's kind of a shame; those bottles were iconic, particularly the very first one. But not modern enough, perhaps.
This new one is actually kind of plain; it suggests a cross between those Yves Rocher purse sprays and FlowerByKenzo. I don't like it, but maybe the target audience will. Or maybe they don't care, as long as it smells good.
How can Dark Sapphire in that bottle possibly be fruity? *craves the bottle*
This looks way more young/modern to me. Guessing their target market isn't likely to be overly familiar with Dali anyway?
I'm sure you're not the only one! Most perfumes are geared towards women under 25, as they spend the most on perfume. Whether older women would spend more $$ if more perfumes were geared towards them is anybody's guess.
It is true, it doesn't *look* fruity. Maybe it isn't very fruity? The gingerbread part sounds nice.
