Bill Blass will launch a fifth fragrance in the Bill Blass Couture series (see Couture 1, 3. 6 & 7) this coming February. The fragrances were all inspired by designs from the Blass fashion line, which is currently undergoing a change in ownership.
The newest fragrance was inspired by a colorful red floral-print dress shown in Blass’ fall 2008 presentation…
Bill Blass has introduced Bill Blass Couture, “timeless couture translated into a luxury modern fragrance collection”. The first four scents in the series are:
Couture 1 ~ Includes white tuberose, mandarin zest, peach blossom, clove and orange blossom…
“More than 300 perfumes are released each month,” says scents wizard Pierre-Constantin Guéros. How does he know? “I try to smell each one.” As one of a trio of Tribeca-based noses for Drom, a multinational to-the-trade fragrance house, Guéros and fellow French natives Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel and Delphine Jelk keep tabs on their competition.
