Mediterranean Breeze by Elizabeth Arden
Sweet sparkling fruits and delicate florals combine with sensual woods and addictive musks to create a scent reminiscent of a warm breeze on a summer day. An inviting, and in fact truthful, description for Elizabeth Arden's latest fragrance, Mediterranean Breeze.
If you're attending High Fashion High Tea during Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW), look out for a sample of this delicious new fragrance in your gift bag, courtesy of The Perfume Connection.
Agyness Deyn for Jean Paul Gaultier's Madame
Looks like her jeans aren't the only thing that Agyness Deyn is taking her scissors to. In this TV spot for Jean Paul Gaultier's Madame perfume Agyness takes to not only cutting up her wig but also ripping up her clothes too.
As for the inspiration behind the fragrance Jean Paul says: "It's my type of woman — at the same time fragile and strong, like a tomboy that is a little androgynous in attitude so, you know, she can cut her hair if she wants". Well if that doesn't suit Agy to a tee we don't know what will.
PS: I love Agyness with a fringe.

Christmas Desires: Paul Smith Rose perfume
My penchant for Paul Smith is hardly a secret, so when each Christmas comes around I get quite excited at the prospect of a new scent from the quintessentially British designers. Sadly Christmas 2007 doesn't herald a new men's fragrance. But for the fairer sex Sir Paul has released Paul Smith Rose.

Trouble for Kate Moss perfume launch
Late last year we brought you news of a Kate Moss perfume being on the horizon, some six months later and Digital Spy is suggesting that the upcoming launch might be a point of contention between the hypermodel and Coty, the company behind the deal.
