Spanish designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada has launched Oh La La, a new fragrance for women:
What is an Agatha woman? Perhaps a woman who is amusing, bold, original, striking, in a word, different...
A woman who, when you see her passing by, makes you splutter "Oh la la"!
The fragrance notes for the fresh fruity floral include blood orange, pink grapefruit, cherry, rose, jasmine, passion fruit, sandalwood, cedar and vanilla.
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada Oh La La is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. (quote via puig, additional information via condenast-profesional.es)
Too bad she isn’t going for something more whimsical or crazy to match the design aesthetic.
I’ve never smelled any of them, but that’s a great ad — do hope the scent itself is at least fun.
Considering the ad, ya gotta hope for fun. But pink grapefruit and cherry? add some gingerale and sherbet and I’d think I was at shower.
Hey, add some gingerale and it *would* be fun! (Thinking Demeter’s wonderful Gingerale)
Yum. Sounds like fruit salad in a bottle. I’m in for some of this next summer. Spritzing some on straight from the fridge in August would be wonderfully refreshing.
Maybe so!
If only websites were scratch-n-sniff, as they promised in the mid-90’s.
Don’t we wish!
Oh if only! I’d likely save a lot of money and eliminate the odd unsniffed purchase that way.
Wasn’t there a scent called “Oh La La” by Azzaro back in the 90’s?
Yep! Don’t know if they trademarked the name though.
I believe the Azzaro was called “Ohlala” or possibly “Oh lala” (it’s hard to tell from the typography on the box–the kerning is odd and the capitalization is non-standard), which may or may not make a difference, trademark-wise.
I thought that name was particularly apt and clever since Azzaro’s initials are LA, so the name is a sort of pun–“Oh, Loris Azzaro, Loris Azzaro!”
Looks like it was probably Oh La La. From WWD, 7/16/1993:
Azzaro asserted that he’d been “very involved” in the development of the product.
“I’m the one who found the name,” he said. “I wanted an interjection; there hasn’t been one as a fragrance name in a while.
“Oh La La is perfect — every American says it and is convinced he’s speaking flawless French,” he continued.
