Elizabeth Arden Red Door Velvet, Van Gils Tendenza, Cerruti 1881 Black & Parfum d'Empire: new fragrances

Elizabeth Arden will launch Red Door Velvet (shown at right) in December: “The juice is a rich floral blend, complemented by notes of Earl Grey Tea, musks and vanilla.”

Dutch fashion line Van Gils has launched Tendenza for her in Europe:

Tendenza for her is described as a sheer but intense fragrance, boasting feminine floral notes. Delicately floral, it contains a blend of colourful and fruity inflections of refreshing grapefruit and green apple. South African freesia, rose from Turkey and Indian jasmine give a warm and powdery touch, while warm undertones of vanilla from Madagascar give its deep, sugary and slightly spicy aroma.

Cerruti will launch Cerruti 1881 Black for men this fall:

Cerruti 1881 Black is a fresh, woody oriental developed by Michel Girard of Quest. Key notes include black pepper, bitter orange, marzipan and precious woods. (via cosmeticnews)

Cerruti 1881 Black is an Eau de Toilette, and is available in 25, 30 and 100 ml bottles and in Shower Gel.

Parfum d’Empire is preparing to add two new fragrances to their line: Iskander, a chypre, and Cuir Ottoman, a fragrance with incense, leather and benzoin. (via abc-luxe) Update: see more detailed information on Iskander & Cuir Ottoman here.
