Beauty | Tom Ford Lavender Palm Eau De Parfum
Harry Rosen has recently launched (earlier this week) Tom Ford Lavender Palm the latest fragrance from the Tom Ford Private Blend Collection. Inspired by California, Lavender Palm perfectly captures its sparkling sunlight, natural blossoms, and expansive coastlines.
With the interplay of two types of lavender, Lavandin and Lavender Absolute, Tom Ford Lavender Palm is a creative take on the free-spirited ethos and chic elegance that defines California. Surrounded by bright citrus notes, moist palm leaf accord, clary sage, sensual woods and smooth tonka bean, this stylish remix of the earthy lavender note is sparkling, sensuous and surprisingly refined.
The packaging for the Tom Ford Private Blend Collection is inspired by the dark brown glass colouring of the apothecary bottles used in perfumer’s work rooms. The 50 ml flacon is created to be weighty in the hand and has the sleek architectural look of a chess piece.
Tom Ford Lavender Palm is available in the 50ML bottle ($215 CDN) at Harry Rosen in Toronto (82 Bloor Street West), Calgary (TD Square), Montreal (Les Cours Mont Royal), and online at HarryRosen.com

Black XS L’EXCÈS and Black XS L’EXCÈS for her; powerful, rhythmic, glamorous, impetuous, sensual and vibrant… to excess. They are the expression of a sophisticated, creative and excessive Rock world. In the limelight, caught between the dream of stardom and Rock reality, Black XS L’EXCÈS holds the appeal of a fantasy.

Pioneers in the genre; fragrances, bottles and commercials shook up the international perfume scene - The Black XS duo has successfully imposed a new style, winning fans the world over. Now, from love to passion, Black XS is creating L’EXCÈS. A Black XS L’EXCÈS world that we find in a commercial directed by Jonas Akerlund (I’ll blog once it’s out, I do have the behind the scene stills, but wait until the video is out).
Black XS L’EXCÈS
An incredibly powerful woody aromatic with a striking trail. Smelling it is like walking on stage. Guitar notes: a burst of exuberant freshness with Calabrian lemon and lavender; a beating heart: an ozonic, cypriol and cistus accord; drum swell, extreme trance, a deep and sensual amber woody base.
Eau de Intense Spray 50ML $65.00 CDN & 100ML $78.00 CDN
Black XS L’EXCÈS For Her
An excessively sensual oriental floral. A fusion of energy, the first notes of neroli and black pepper are electrifying; at the heart of the fragrance they pulse over a profusion of jasmine Queen of the Night and rose absolute. Mysterious and voluptuous, the base casts an addictive spell with an intoxicating overdose of cashmere wood.
Eau de parfum spray 50ML $75.00 CDN & 80ML $86.00 CDN
Two talented perfumers create these fragrances and depict “excess”: Emilie Coppermann for Black XS L’EXCÈS For Her and Fabrice Pellegrin for Black XS L’EXCÈS.
Black XS L’EXCÈS, two bottles styled to the extreme. The two clearly identifiable Black XS L’EXCÈS bottles play the Rock stars, virile, black lacquer and silver for him, with voluptuous garnet ombré curves for her. Evoking the rebellious, Rock attitude direction, the skull features as a glossy watermark on the black matte packs, and on the bottles in the form of a piercing for him and in a charm version for her, paired with the rose.
Black XS L’EXCÈS will be available April 2012 at Shoppers Drug Mart, Sephora and other fine drug stores across Canada.

Beauty | Kristen Stewart for Balenciaga Fragrance
Just finished reading the press release announcing that Balenciaga’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière has chosen Kristen Stewart to be the face of the house’s fragrance.
What’s his justification for such a lude act?!
Kristen Stewart embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence. From her early appearance in ‘Panic Room’ to her independent choice of ‘Welcome to the Rileys,’ I’ve always sensed her progressive character. In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga.
Sensibility and intelligence? What, have you not heard her in conversation, or lack of conversation?! |The blank slate (and I don’t mean that face) that is her personality is void of anything! This is suppose to add validity to your brand? Or fragrance? So disappointing, the brand is perfect, the fragrance spectacular but this choice - a failure. Sorry. I’m still in disbelief!
I would love to hear your comments and remarks to this! What do you think?

An overtly, and I mean OVERTLY sexual & incredibly homoerotic short film for PAG - A Fragrance For All Creatures features models, Alon Levi and Yotam Peled Daniel Don.
The Israeli-based brand enlist, Roy Raz to direct the video and I’m so thankful they did, because honestly - I’ve never seen something so borderline inappropriate to air. I freaking love it!
