Celebrity perfume news round-up 2008, part the eighth

Want to spend a day with Paris, Nicky and Kathy Hilton? Earlier this year they held a contest in conjunction with the launch of Kathy Hilton’s debut fragrance, My Secret, and a mother-daughter duo won a trip to Los Angeles to do just that. You can watch the results online:

Arriving this week to the web will be an exclusive mini-series, “A Day with the Hiltons,” starring Kathy Hilton and her two daughters, Paris and Nicky…the series follows Kathy, Paris and Nicky, as they talk about beauty, family and much more while they visit a salon, attend an intimate brunch and spend the afternoon shopping.

The first installment should be available at the TVGuide channel at YouTube later today. (Update: here is the first episode) The press release also points to the historic import of Kathy Hilton My Secret:

This is a unique fragrance and event as no other mother has launched a perfume the same year as her daughter, regardless of celebrity status. It is truly a rare and special happening in the fragrance and celebrity market.

    I know this is off topic but in this month's W magazine, there is an interview with David Yurman and his wife on their new fragrance. It is sort of interesting to read. I live in Dallas and David Yurman is EVERYWHERE; consequently, I can't stand it. So, I doubt I will be swayed to try the fragrance…still it seems like maybe he had a hand in it. And, it is sweet that they have been married 30 years.

    They might be everywhere here too — I know they have a boutique in my local mall — but I didn't know the name until the perfume was announced. The notes don't excite me, but perhaps it will be great, who knows?

    As long as Josh Hartnett is in the new Armani ads, the moms and daughters can do whatever they damn well like! ;-0

    “Want to spend a day with Paris, Nicky and Kathy Hilton?”
    Well, actually, NO! Maybe the first prize should be NOT having to spend any time with these vapid creatures!

    Just to echo what's already been said: Would that be a PRIZE or a punishment?

    But who the h is David Yurman? off to Google….

    It's a variation on the old joke: first prize is a day with the Hiltons. Second prize is two days with the Hiltons.

    I don't know him! I even looked at his picture, still no idea who he is.

    Jeweler, and that is all I know except that according to Wikipedia he uses lots of celebrity models. And he has a perfume coming :-)

    OK, I was curious – I went over to the KH site to check out the new perfume. The scent seems to be some amalgam of Body by Victoria and Vera Wang, but the thing that inrigued me was the “jewel-like” bottle. How is it supposed to work? Does it lie on your counter or dresser like a paperweight? If not, how does it balance on the point of the heart? Why oh why is the atomizer on the side? This doesn't bode well – for me, anyway.

    Never saw either…and his picture did NADA for me — young I can manage, but he didn't seem very handsome. (runs away)

    Do you by any chance live in Le Havre? I can see why it might have set him off!
