Lulu Castagnette Les Petites Folies, Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Now 2010 ~ new perfumes

Posted by Robin on 19 February 2010 24 Comments

Lulu Castagnette Les Petites Folies

Lulu Castagnette will launch Les Petites Folies, a new fragrance for women:

Lulu Castagnette’s new fragrance line, Les Petites Folies takes you into its colorful universe for a true adventure. A floral oriental fragrance with milk, almond and licorice notes.

I will update with launch date, sizes and concentration when I can find them. (via dutyfreemagazine.ca )

Update: Les Petites Folies is actually two fragrances, sharing a common almond note and advertised as "Sixties-inspired and resolutely regressive".

00:10 (shown above) ~ "a Floral Oriental fragrance with Milk, Almond and Licorice notes, created by Karine DUBREUIL." Additional notes include hawthorn, star anise, love apple, jasmine, lily of the valley and vanilla.

20:15 ~ " a Powdery-Musky Floral fragrance with Pear and Almond Tree Flower notes, created by Corinne CACHEN." Additional notes include bergamot, peony, iris, white wood, amber and powdery musks.

Lulu Castagnette Les Petites Folies 00:10 and 20:15 are in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. (via tfwa)

Very Sexy Now 2010Victoria's Secret has launched the 2010 version of Very Sexy Now:

A lush, limited-edition mix of frangipani nectar, jungle lily and purple orchid.

Sorry, that's the whole description!

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Now 2010 is available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum ($49), 250 ml Sheer Sexy Mist ($24) and in matching body lotion. (via victoriassecret)

    I don’t know anything about the Lulus, and the notes are not really my thing, but those bottles are cuuuuuuute! The VS ones, not so much.

      I agree – the notes aren’t really appealing to me, but I covet that bottle!

    I’m with you guys on the bottle. They remind me a little of the Nanette Lapore bottles with an atomizer.

    The notes of the Lulu sound like something I like to sell… if I liked it and ever bought it, I promise I’d let you all duke it out for the bottle. :D

    The Lulu sounds like a Hypnotic Poison/Lolita Lempicka hybrid. I like licorice as a note! I’ll probably like it, but not buy it because it would be redundant in my wardrobe.
    Re. the Very Sexy Now, if the VS folks came out with new bottle designs and ditched the completely overdone Very Sexy fume line, I might be more interested, because I love a good tropical floral. Like if this one came in a cute little compact, flowery bottle. It’s, like, easily forgettable unless you’re totally into that line. But then again, I don’t know about their marketing stats.

    The Very Sexy line actually isn’t half bad – I have Very Sexy Dare somehere at home, and it was quite good. Decent prices too. I just hate the name and the packaging. Now if they could only put their juice into a botttle like the Lulu….

    Milk, almond, and licorice sounds like a trifecta of awesome. I’m all over it.

    I just bought the very sexy now, actually… it is really a fun spring/ summer fragrance. The bottles are pretty awful, and they’re huge so hard to carry around in my purse. This is the first victoria’s secret perfume i have liked enough to buy in a while though. I wish it weren’t a limited edition.
