Morgane Le Fay has launched a new fragrance collection consisting of four scents for women: Yellow, Rosa (Pink), Green and Blue.
Four initial fragrances, capable of interpreting female temperament in some of her more enigmatic guises.
Only a chromatic note distinguishes them, because it is nameless, in the same way as personality is recognised by its unique nuances.
Morgane Le Fay Yellow ~ “Her strength and loyalty are unwavering and her voice conveys calm and serenity.” Featuring notes of bergamot, blue hyacinth, lemon, jasmine, peony, lotus blossom, iris, oak moss and musk.
Morgane Le Fay Pink ~ “This perfume is dedicated to the woman who longs for an encounter with the magical.” Including notes of bergamot, sweet orange, fig leaves, gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley, osmanthus, ylang-ylang, tuberose, clove, iris, musk and vanilla.
Morgane Le Fay Green ~ “The green scent represents the spiritual independence of a woman with a strong character and a distinctive self-confidence.” The notes include freesia, rose, cucumber, coconut water, apple fructose, iced mango, amber, musk, vanilla and heliotrope.
Morgane Le Fay Blue ~ “The blue fragrance is dedicated to the quiet and balanced side of the female personality.” With notes of pink pepper, galbanum, lily of the valley, white jsmine, rose, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, benzoin, musk and incense. [Note: there is a previously released Morgane Le Fay fragrance called Blue in a similar "beaker" bottle, and I do not know if this is the same juice.]
The Morgane Le Fay Collection 2008 fragrances are sold in handblown glass beakers, available in 15 ml Parfum, 50 or 100 ml Eau de Parfum. (first quote via intertradeurope, subsequent quotes via first-in-fragrance, additional information via luxgallery.it)

I wonder why no one ever designs a fragrance for a woman who is out of control, frazzled, and completely lacking any kind of self-assuredness.
There MUST be one. But can't think of it offhand.

Sort of anti-aspirational perfumes, as it were.
The juice could be horrid and I would still want one of each and two of the one I really like. I'm not sure why, but I am so enamored of those bottles. The actual perfume sounds rather sweet (and the whole “types of a woman's personality” is verging on hokey) but could be okay. I feel an impulse purchase coming on if they're not obscenely expensive.
I agree they are cool bottles. . .they look like little test tubes. . .you want to swirl it and say hmmmmm. . .
What color is Miffed By Marketing?
Love the bottles.
Are they spray or splash? They're seriously cute, though. Yellow sounds most appealing but they all sound interesting. Do you know where they'll be available?
A sort of bilious green.
I know this is off-topic, but is it possible to email one of you experts with a question? I'm desperately trying to find a fragrance from the 40s or 50s. There's a bit more I know, but maybe I shouldn't post it here.
Also, it was first smelled in Eastern Europe. Isn't one of the contributors also from E.E.? Maybe you could also tell me availability would have been.
Many thanks.

You can email me (nowsmellthis at comcast dot net) but I'm hardly an expert, and no, no contributors from EE.
LOL!
First in Fragrance has them. Luckyscent had some of the line, so maybe they'll get these too.
I don't mean to offend…but to me this line seems to want to appeal to the teenage “witchy” type, as in the TV show Charmed. Potion bottles in (nearly) primary colors. And a catchy name from the old british isles Arthurian legends.
By the way, the “handblown” part–all laboratory glass is handblown, so it is really not anything special.
I would love to be proven wrong about these–anybody tried them, or any others from the line?
Or a fragrance for women who suffer from nasty PMS or who are struggling with menopause?
What about Smiley?
I remember seeing the blue bottle on Luckyscent and thinking it was hopelessly tasteless, but now when I see them all together… ooh, they're potions, how cute! Too bad the scents sound really blah, and the prices, yikes, €60 for the 15ml ones!! I'll pass and wait for the Severus Snape fragrance collection…
Blue Blood – for the man who is haughty and proud and won't tolerate an insult from anyone (with notes of potash, ink and murky castles…)
Yellow Bile – for the man who really hates his students, his job and everything (with notes of bile and gallstone…)
Blood Red – for the man who will meet a bloody death (with notes of cold steel and fly agaric…)
Poisonous Green – for the man with poisonous intent (with notes of mandrake and wormwood…)
I kind of think fly agaric and cold steel would be neat…earthy rotting scent held up by a clean, construction metal tinge…maybe add in some of the wood from the chest where Mad Eye was kept…yeah, I'd buy it. It'll compete with BPAL, anyway.
I don't know enough about the MLF line, but from the clothes, I wouldn't have thought they were going for that demographic at all.
I tried the original Blue, and thought it was nice. Not a complete thrill, but nice — a sort of lightly spiced rose-y scent. Not “young”, at any rate.
Alas, I would be sued out of business before I sold my first bottle! Even BPAL with all their cultural references are careful about copyright, mostly desecrating dead authors…
Yesterday morning I had a thought about how it would be good to try and match perfumes to colours. Then I logged on and saw this and thought I must have had a premonition!! I was thinking what perfume could be “purple”? There are lots of one for “green”- Oyedo or Eau de Lierre, What would be “black”?………………
Black makes me think of Black Cashmere, but I guess that's too obvious!
Yes if we tried to do it, how much would we be influenced by the name and the packaging as the makers must think of all of that? I realise that I must be obsessed by perfume to be thinking about this while I was cleaning my teeth!!! Obviously some would be multi coloured.
True. I don't think any fragrances really smell black though. Dark grey, maybe, and that probably more properly describes Black Cashmere. Any church incense would be that color too.
