French lingerie line Chantal Thomass will launch Osez-moi! (shown above left), a new fragrance "reserved for very sexy women", this coming May.
Osez-moi! features notes of frangipani, rose, chamomile, peony and vanilla.
Chantal Thomass Osez-moi! will be available in 50 ml, concentration unknown. (via aufeminin) Update: Additional notes for Osez-moi! include musk and vetiver; per Chantal Thomass, “I wanted to create my new fragrance Osez-moi! the way I create my lingerie: with generosity, sophistication, temptation, seduction and sensuality. In the spirit of the boudoir, I poetically and audaciously transgressed codes by combining pink, grey and black to create a coquette and cheeky mix. I played with a masculine-feminine contrast on the packaging, opted for a non-conformist bottle and poured all my character into the fragrance!” (via tfwa)
CO Bigelow has launched Lemon Eau de Parfum (shown above right):
This freshly scented Eau de Parfum is inspired by our most-loved, favorite original formulary, Lemon Body Cream. The pure, sparkling Lemon fragrance blends effervescent citrus notes with green lemon leaves and sensual, creamy undertones of warm white musk.
CO Bigelow Lemon Eau de Parfum is available in 105 ml, and can be found now at Bath & Body Works. (via bathandbodyworks)
I just tried the Lemon EdP, and it wasn’t bad. It did have a tiny little artificial tinge to it, but I’d like to try it again. It could be my allergies.
I wonder where did you get the sample? It is said this band is not easily available. BTW, I am in China.
I tried the sample at Bath & Body Works.
ST: Bath & Body Works makes my head hurt when I walk by in the mall. I like all kinds of perfumes, but theirs kills me. Oohuahua: B&BW isn’t in China? I thought they were absolutely everywhere!
I bought a jar of the COB Lemon cream once, but didn’t love it. Will probably give this one a pass — I’m covered for lemon.
R: would love to know how…what ‘lemons’ do you like?
BBW seem to smell nice when you sniff the bottle for a few SECONDS but end up making my head and stomach hurt if I wear them for even a few minutes. Don’t know why….I avoid the stores too.
The best lemony perfume: PdN Cedrat Intense great stuff! It appeases my occasional need for lemons, yummy and well, intense!
Thanks for the tip, Daisy! I’m always on the lookout for lemon scents, for those 100+ days.
That sounds fabulous! I must try that, I also like CdG Energy C:
Lemon
Carthusia Mediteranneo is still my favorite. I assume it will not make it unscathed through the new IFRA restrictions on citrus though.
Thanks…two more samples to acquire! Not familiar with either of these lines — yet!
What I want to know is, is there a qualification process to obtain the “reserved for very sexy women” Osez-Moi!? Do you have to apply? Who decides whether you’re sexy enough? Is it a velvet rope thing with bouncers, or is it like American Idol with commenters like Simon Cowell?
Sorry. My Snark got away from me.
I thought that same thing, too, mals86. Also, it reminded me of that Morris Day & The Time song from, like, 1984… where he sings, “this dance is just for the sexy people” like who is going to clear the floor because they don’t think they’re sexy?
maybe they have a panel of offensive and completely unqualified judges that hold up score cards and judge our sexiness level that way…oh wait that IS american Idol
or Dancing with the Stars….same difference….
Snark is always allowed 🙂
My snark went right there with you. Guess your self-esteem has to be really high the day you go to buy it. Sounds like it will smell quite girly.
What? You mean you DON’T have a Very Sexy Woman ID card? Oh… so sorry. 😉
I’m certain that my membership card was lost in the mail…..or maybe they saw these sweatpants I’m wearing with the purple paint splotches….nah, couldn’t be that, cuz these babies are HOT!
It’s funny you should say that, since the first thing that popped into my head after reading the “sexy”comment , was the Saturday Night Live skit that featured a spoofing of the Antonio Banderas persona—“Toooo sexxyyy!”
Chantal Thomass is like my goooddddd
to some people sexy is a ~*~*state of mind*~*~
Do you guys even know what Chantal Thomass looks like?

looks stereotypically “sexy” to me…
good God! I think I just got frostbite! lol perhaps she’s a wild tigress when the glasses come off…
although she looks supremely confident and I bet she could kick my fanny right into next week if she wanted to.
As always, don’t know a darned thing about her.
well she’s a lingerie designer, kind of like Victoria’s Secret
So obviously any perfume under her name will be marketed as “very sexy”
Victoria’s Secret even gives their perfumes *names* like Very Sexy
And Sexual Star. Let’s not forget about VS Sexual Star!!
I think the name is terrible…it works well with “reserved for very sexy women”, mind you! By the way, in case it wasn’t translated, osez-moi (pronounced oh-zay mwa) means ‘dare me’….Hahahahahahahaha! Ridiculous!!!
Thank you — was too lazy to bother translating it this morning!
Coincidentally, I got a sample of that Bigelow Lemon Cream recently and thought the texture was pretty nice — now that I know it’s carried by BBW I might go there and check it out. Not sure I need the EdP, but I see on the BBW there’s a whole line in that scent including hand soap. Great price points too: $34.50 for the EdP (which I’m betting is really more like EdT or EdC — which brings up the point of how they get away with that label on so many frags? Assuming there’s no real regulation of the term EdP? It would be like trying to pass of wine coolers as hard liquor).
My favorite everyday citrusy cream used to be Pre de Provence Agrumes.
Joe, for some of us wine coolers ARE hard liquor…..
Joe, I don’t think companies lie about concentration, but EdP can refer to a range of concentrations (and so far as I know, you’re right that there’s no regulation) — you could call a 10% concentration either EdT or EdP and not be lying, I think. And if the materials are light to begin with, even an EdP is going to be light, right?
That makes sense, sure — a lemon EdP is going to be lighter than a patchouli EdP. I just feel like I’m seeing “EdP” slapped on so many things lately, yet so many juices in so many concentrations just feel so “wimpy.” I just expect more “oomph” from an EdP than what I feel I get sometimes.
I know what you mean…the concentration really isn’t as useful a piece of information as it ought to be.
How much pinker and sweeter-candy can get Chantal Thomass I wonder? Her previous perfume, that I had in 2 ml, was mega sweet-pink. A sniff and it was like strawberry syrup pouring down my nose.
Doesn’t sound appealing!
well, I’m definitely one of the no-doubt-about-it sexy women without being a walking cliche’. and I wear glasses and can kick butts into next week.;) will look for the little O.M. someday when my other uber sexy scents have killed off all those who are afraid to wear animal skins and eat meat.
LOL!
