Parfums Regine's has launched Zoa Night Perfume, a new fragrance to mark the brand's 20th anniversary. The original Zoa perfume from Regine's launched in 1992.
Zoa Night Perfume is an ambery-powdery floriental developed by perfumer Emilie Coppermann. I will update with notes later if I can find them.
Parfums Regine's Zoa Night is available now at Colette in Paris in 30, 50 and 100 ml, concentration unknown. Regine of Parfums Regine's will be at Colette on Saturday, June 13 from 4 to 6 pm to greet customers and sign bottles. (via colette, additional information via fr.fashionmag)
Did someone say ambery-powdery floriental? YUM! That’s right up my alley. BTW, I LOVE the girl’s lipstick. Chanel used to make a similar color 20 or so years ago…
Get yourself to Paris by Saturday then
I agree with ST: Ambery-powdery floriental sounds fantabulous! The bottle is a little goofy, though.
Interesting advert. The models aren’t the cookie-cutter type of the majority of today’s advertising. The main model is beautiful – and I love that lipstick, too! SmokeyToes, are you referring to Chanel’s Vamp? All of this is kind of reminiscent of the mid-90s….including that bottle. I’m still on the fence about it.
I was thinking mid-80s!
Doh! You’re right. My mind is going. For some reason I the ad made me think of Cacharel’s LouLou when I saw this. I thought that came out mid-90s but in fact it came out in 1987. It’s a sad day when one starts confusing decades!
LOL…nah, I do that all the time.
I was going to say Vamp, too! I think that was a bit darker, but I HAD to have it. I always wound up with it smeared all over everything – Chanel lipstick is/was so gooey and has that stupid violet smell. I finally got rid of it but I think I still have the nail polish somewhere.
I wish nice-looking young men would come up and kiss the back of my neck when I sprayed perfume on…. sigh.
LOL…see, I thought it was creepy. Very 1980s disco stuff.
Regine… !
That’s a blast form the past!!!
I didn’t know that there was anyone left alive that remembered her, let alone that she had a whole perfume company
Ok, you got me, who is she?
Regine (Zylberberg) was born in 1929 and she had a… very minor singing carreer (one of her “famous” song was La Grande Zoa).
In the early 50′ she began to appear as a DJ in nightclubs and became known as “the Queen of the night”.
In late 50′ early 60′ she opened “Chez Regine” which became THE parisian nightclub of choice (“a place to be seen for playboys and princes”–the French equivalent of Studio 54)
She has/had a chain of “discos” throughout the world–which made her very very rich.
I guess the new launch is to coincide with the release of her new CD (Régine’s Duets: featuring Boy George, Fanny Ardant, Jane Birkins, Julia Migenes etc…)
So your comment about the add being very 1980s disco stuff was actually dead on!
Thank you so much for the detailed reply — I have (vaguely) heard of her but don’t know her music & had no idea this was the same person.
