Fancy Jessica Simpson ~ perfume review

Jessica Simpson Fancy perfume advertJessica Simpson's debut fragrance, Fancy Jessica Simpson, is due to launch officially later this month. If you read here regularly, you already know that I'm pathetically out of it when it comes to pop culture — I don't read People, I don't listen to the radio, and I don't watch much “live” TV — and so Jessica Simpson is as mysterious to me as the rest of them. I don't know a darned thing about her personally, although I take it from prior comments here that she sings. But I do know one thing about her that is arguably more germane to this discussion anyway, and that is that she used to have a line of scented body products under the name Dessert Beauty.

The Dessert Beauty line, a collaboration between Simpson and Clean's Randi Shinder, featured products like “Belly Button Love Potion Double Dip Fragrance” (in scents called “Juicy” and “Creamy”) and “Deliciously Kissable Hot Body Topping” (in “Maraschino Cherry” or “Caramel”). If those sound appealing to you, Fancy might be right up your alley…

Courvoisier L’edition Imperiale ~ fragrance review

Courvoisier L’edition ImperialeFor several years, I’ve been mourning the discontinuation (and disappearance) of a favorite fragrance, and I’ve searched high and low for it. A Perfume Detective is on the case. (I won’t reveal the perfume’s name till I secure every bottle remaining on the planet. Yes, greed!) Last summer, in Padova, Italy, I smelled a fragrance that was the closest I’ll probably ever come to my beloved, but discontinued, perfume — unless it’s reissued — but I could not get the name of the fragrance since the two people I smelled it on got lost in the crowd: a beautifully dressed woman walking her two dachshunds (also nicely appointed) and a man scurrying by my table as I had lunch at an outdoor cafe. I shared the pain of these close encounters with lots of people and one of those people, a Now Smell This reader in Europe, Dusan, said he would keep a nose out for the fragrance after I described it to him. I made one assumption about the mystery fragrance since I smelled it on a man and a woman in the space of a few hours: the scent must be new, circa spring/summer of 2007. About a month or so ago, Dusan recommended I sniff Courvoisier’s L’edition Imperiale; he felt it came close to the descriptions I gave him of the discontinued fragrance and the Padova perfume…
