Another new fragrance bearing Britney’s name

Lucire 2009 | The global fashion magazine
It doesn’t seem that out of place as 2009 begins to see a Britney Spears fragrance—compare this to the situation a year ago. Hidden Fantasy, launched late last year in the US and making its New Zealand début on January 26, is based around Spears’ love of ‘white florals, vanilla and luscious desserts,’ says perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux. ‘Drawing from a cherished memory of my own, I built this fragrance with a heart of sensual jasmine and sweet Napolitano cake. Soft fluid woods and Mexican vanilla bean create an inviting base that is balanced with a sparkling and surprising top note … luminous, mouthwatering, and playful.’ Begins at NZ$59 for the 30 ml eau de parfum spray.

Pink, but not for breast cancer

Lucire beauty

October is a month where we see a lot of pink, to help promote breast cancer awareness. One exception is this débutante from Mariah Carey, a new fragrance called Luscious Pink. It’ll be available for a lot longer, of course. High notes feature Sicilian bergamot, Ocean Breeze accord and Bellini accord. The heart sees Tahitian tiare petals, delicate lilly of the valley and pink peony blended together. The basenotes feature sun-kissed woods wrapped in white musk. Body lotion from NZ$49, eau de toilette (beginning at 30 ml) from NZ$72.
