Chanel have just released their latest ad for their iconic No. 5 fragrance. Nicole Kidman has been replaced by Audrey Tatou, which is pretty obvious seeing that the French actress plays Coco Chanel in the upcoming biopic. The ad is awesome taking place on the Orient Express, where a boy and a girl meet. The happy ending comes very soon:)

Chanel’s iconic No. 5 bottle has been reinterpreted by 25 artists and designers. The exhibit was held at Al Sabah Art & Design, and the concept was to to take the bottle and customize so as to depict the personality of the artist. After only a few hours of being on display, 90% sold out with prices ranging between $300 and $500.

We’ve already showed you the ad, and yesterday I got a chance to see it (and smell it) in person. If you have yet to try it, give yourself some olfactory pleasure and head down to your local perfumery. It’s fantastic.

The bottle’s art work harkens back to Warhol’s designs of shoes. The perfume releases in September. The 100 ml will go for $195, while the 50 ml will run you $135. There will even be a limited edition bottle releasing this Holiday season featuring four silver pendants by Robert Lee Morris based on original Warhol designs.

Kate Moss will be releasing her second fragrance in the near future. Called Velvet Hour, the new perfume will debut this September. There is already an ad which was done by Mert és Marcus featuring Kate Moss in a blue silk dress. The perfume will cost €49 for the 100ml, €39 for the 50ml, €29 for the 30ml, and €17 for the 15ml. Let’s just hope this new fragrance is better than her previous one.

Bond No. 9 have taken three of their most popular fragrances, Bryant Park, Bleecker Street, and Nuits de Noho and have gotten together with Swarovski to give their bottles a face lift. The bottles are covered with thousands of little crystals, each bottle a different colour. They turned out great, but Swarovski crystals are not cheap. The 50ml bottles go for $650.

They also created Swarovski Stars Bon Bons, which is a pack of 4 fragrances (the three already mentioned plus Eau de New York) each coming in 6ml bottles, which will sell for $700. The perfumes will be out just in time for Mother’s Day. Great gift idea if you have 700 bucks lying around your apartment. If you do, you’ll be able to purchase the fragrances at Bond No. 9’s website, and at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Harajuku Lovers has gotten together with Coty and Gwen Stefani on a collection of perfumes. They created a total of five fragrances which are enclosed in small toy-like bottles. The bottles are made in the form of Gwen’s backing vocalists, Love, Angel, Music and Baby. Gwen also provides a description of the singers on the bottles. Naturally, the fifth bottle is of Gwen herself. The perfumes will be available in two different sizes 30 mil ($45) and 10 mil ($25).

I am looking for a new perfume. I didn’t think I’d be having such a tough time though. I’ve never been too attached to any perfume. On one hand it’s great because I like variety, but on the other hand, it sucks not having a scent to call your own. But now I’m lost in a myriad of scents and fragrances. As you can see from the photo above, I spent some time at a shop earlier spraying samples onto bits of papers and jotting down which is which. I’ve narrowed it down to a few, but if any of you have a perfume you’d like to suggest, I’d love to hear from you. Drop a line to juicy@mashkulture.net, and maybe you’ll help end this predicament once and for all:)
