Hello Kitty Noir ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 21 September 2011 26 Comments

Hello Kitty Noir

Hello Kitty Noir is the new limited edition follow-up to the Hello Kitty fragrance that was introduced earlier this year at Sephora:

Like a more concentrated version of the signature Hello Kitty scent, you'll smell rich floral accords and a wink of warm vanilla. A little hint of musk is present in the base notes, adding a touch of glamour to a twinkling fragrance created especially for the young at heart. This fragrance is part of the alluring Noir collection, which evokes a sense of cinematic romance. Captivating vintage designs and dramatic looks will have you hypnotized and wanting more.

The notes include cassis sorbet, mandarin, apple, magnolia, freesia, orange blossom, tonka bean, vanilla and musk.

Hello Kitty Noir is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum ($69, shown) or in a "blinged out" 10 ml rollerball ($22).

    Yeah, nothing says “noir” like Hello Kitty.

    Not that I’m not tempted by the blinged-out rollerball, mind you.

      It’s really a crack up! And it isn’t cheap, either. I still want this though:

        Oh god, the Hello Kitty Sweet Collection bottles would be just the things to arrange on a shelf around my Hello Kitty Yahtzee game (which is contained, of course, in a giant plastic Hello Kitty head). Provided that I was okay with my fiance moving out.

    I like that bottle. Let’s face it, every woman needs a blinged out roller ball too.

      LOL — I gotta admit it’s not calling to me, but I *did* buy the plastic Harajuku Lovers doll heads, so I’m not on any high horse here!

        I’m right there with you. I got the Harajuku Lovers solid perfumes because the characters were so darn cute. Those solids had barely any scent but I had to own them anyway. My niece ended up guilting me into giving them to her.

    It’s absolutely necessary that I own this adorable bottle. They could probably fill it with Lysol, and I’d still want it on my dresser. The first HK fragrance was actually not bad, just a mild citrus/vanilla combo. If they just sold these as empty refillable bottles, I’d be in heaven.

      If I had one of those filled with Lysol, I’d probably clean my bathroom more often.

    I had the first Hello Kitty and everyone thought it (the drydown) smelled like pipe tobacco. Weird right? Can’t imagine what this one smells like, but I like the idea of filling it with some other product! Next one will be Hello Kitty Oud.

      Hello Kitty Oud! That would be so priceless; I’d have to buy it.

        Reminds me of when you got everyone riffing on flankers for Poison. Baby Poison was my favorite. Or was it Poison Baby?

    Hello Kitty noir is like Dashiell Hammet writing Hannah Montana episodes.

    I am also totally in love with the bottle. I am not a huge Hello Kitty fan, but this bottle really appeals to me.

    OMG, I’m laughing so hard I’m crying and my stomach hurts. There seem to be so many flankers lately that we could go on in this vein almost forever: Hello Kitty for Him, Hello Kitty Jasmine, Hello Kitty Nude, etc. ;-)

      Witty! For HK Nude I can picture an ad with a hairless Rex cat.

    OMG! want. I have a mini of the original one and it’s so cute. I will have to check out the rollerball, too. I hate to say but some of the Hello Kitty stuff has been really hard to resist – they had some makeup in packaging called Memoirs of a Kitty.

    Hello Kitty Noir. Fail. Who was in the marketing meeting when THAT idea was kicked around?

      Maybe this signifies the end of noir! I’ve been grousing about the overuse of that word/concept for months and months now.

      I’m guessing Hello Kitty Nitey-nite was rejected and this was the alternative.
