Perfume Facts #9

Your Nose Doesn’t Know: Apparently, your nose gets used to your signature fragrance, and you can only smell it when it’s first applied or when you consciously pay attention to it. Lesson: do not over-spritz for the sake of those around you.

Bethany Mota New Fragrance, Magazine Cover and Road Travel

Bethany Mota has become one of the most popular and well known Youtubers to date. And what comes with that is a schedule so hectic it would make a normal persons head spin. Mota has had a number of exciting announcements this week. Starting on Saturday, Mota announced to her channel that she would be doing a ten day road trip across the United States to promote her brand new “Bethany Noel” perfume with Aeropostale.

On Monday, Mota kicked of her road trip at Aeropostale in New York City. The event was a meet and greet and launch party for the newly released fragrance. This is the second of Mota’s fragrances with the clothing store, her original perfume was a self titled number. “Bethany Noel” features scents of “lemon meringue, dewberry, maple syrup and vanilla crystals, and it has an intriguingly addictive finish.”

Mota has done plenty with the Aeropostale in recent years. This past month she released her series of home decor with them which included fun bedding and pillows and wall decor. Along with that Mota has a featured continuous clothing line with the brand as well as jewelry line.

Mota’s road trip will hit five cities at a meet and greet in a local Aeropostale. The locations will all be revealed here on the Aeropostale site. You can also follow along online as Mota shared in the announcement video that the tour would be filmed as well.

This week Mota also shared shots from her cover photo shoot for Latina Magazine. Moto will be  featured on the cover of the September issue to discuss “redefin[ing] style for millennials”, according to the cover.

Mota shared, “”I had really bad anxiety. I would have panic attacks every time I was around a lot of people. I didn’t even want to hang out with my family members.” Mota’s struggle with anxiety and depression came after a fake MySpace profile was created under her name and was used it to criticize her body as a preteen.

“It got to the point that I didn’t think I could ever shake this. I thought, ‘My God, this is going to be my life forever,” She added. “Clearly, talking about it still brings up painful memories. … I was scared to express my opinion or talk because I was afraid of judgment. I thought, ‘I’m always going to be too scared to live life.’ That’s when I knew I had to do something, and I started doing the videos.”

Those videos have now gained Mota nearly 10 million subscribers on Youtube, she’s interviewed President Obama, and was on “Dancing with the Stars”! Moto has in fact usurped original Youtube beauty icon Michelle Phan who currently has close to 8 million subscriber. There’s no stoping her there though, no doubt we will be hearing of another endeavor from Miss Mota soon!

Perfume Facts #8

Strange Beginnings: Ambergris is one of the most valuable raw materials in perfumery, used as an ingredient with a smell that’s described as ocean-y and sweet. It also happens to be produced in the intestines of sperm whales—who knew whale vomit could be so fragrant? Nowadays, perfumes like Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue Escape to Panarea ($75) include synthetic versions of this rare ingredient.

COZYWAVE Releases “Blood Blockade Battlefront” Perfume

For those of you who are a fan of anime or manga, great news! Cozywave is releasing a series of 5 fragrances inspired by the characters of Yasuhiro Nightow’s manga & TV anime, Blood Blockade Battlefront.

The Zapp Renfro perfume has a “spicy, marine” scent. (I think it should smell like pizza and ambushes.)

The Steven A. Starphase perfume has a “citrus wine” scent.

                                                   The Sonic perfume has a “floral” scent.

The Klaus V. Reinherz perfume has a “floral herb” scent.

                               And the Leonardo Watch perfume has a “floral, woody” scent

Each bottle of perfume contains 50 milliliters (1.69 ounces) of fragrance and retails for 5400 yen ($43.64 US) including tax. The perfume is available for reservation until August 20, 2015, with the final product scheduled to ship in late September of 2015. For more information, check out perfumeslosangeles.com

Deluxe label Montblanc reveals Lady Emblem, as the ladies version of its latest Emblem fragrance series. Lady Emblem is presented as a classy and feminine aroma with a shiny floral, radiant fruity and warm woody character.

The concentration begins with red currant jam, pink rose and peach while the heart is striking and impressive, along with accords of sandalwood, patchouli and rosewood. In the closing trail, the composition reflects solid tastes of musk and raspberry.

The bottle style is inspired by a faceted precious stone colored in a soft pink hue similar to a scarce pink diamond.

Look for the new perfume Montblanc Lady Emblem in the 2nd half of 2015 and discover it in sizes of 30ml, 50ml and 75ml in Eau de Parfum formulation.

Go to PerfumesLosAngeles.com right now to make sure you are on the mailing list about updates on the fragrance.

Rihanna Announces Brand New Perfume With the Most Perfect Name

Rihanna made a huge announcement Tuesday night — she’s got a brand new perfume coming out soon.

The “Bitch Better Have My Money” singer has already gifted the world with such scents as Rogue Love, Rogue, and 777 Nude by Rihanna Diamonds and lots more  (as a professional celebrity perfume hoarder, I have many of her fine fragrances and they are all fantastic). Rihanna just announced she’s not done with creating new perfumes yet and unveiled the name of her latest creation: “RiRi.” Oh, hell yes.

“Excited to announce my newest fragrance ‘RiRi’,” she said on Instagram.

It’s the perfect scent for those of us who enjoy going to work in our silk designer pajamas and fuzzy kitten heels. It’s a perfume that says,

“I adopt puppies in the middle of a night of clubbing.” It’s what you dab on your wrists before you kidnap a bunch of people and blindfold them to take them to a video screening. It’s “RiRi,” OK?

KATY PERRY LAUNCHES TWITTER POP-UP FOR NEW FRAGRANCE

Katy Perry knows a thing or two about the influence of Twitter (she did just put in her two cents over the Taylor Swift–Nicki Minaj feud, after all). So with that, the singer — who has 72.9 million followers — is selling her new fragrance, Mad Potion, through a Twitter pop-up shop called @KatyPerryPopUp.

Followers who want to smell like their favorite pop star can purchase the scent directly through Twitter’s Buy Now card for $30, starting Wednesday.

Perry first announced the launch of her magical concoction in June on — where else — Twitter. Perhaps Rihanna will take note when the time comes to promote and sell her upcoming RiRi perfume.

Gal Gadot Announced as the Face of Gucci’s New Bamboo Fragrance

Ever since Alessandro Michele took the helm of Gucci, we’ve witnessed his aesthetic take effect within months of his debut of the Fall 2015 mainline campaign. With the unveiling of Gucci’s latest fragrance campaign, however, we see signs of Frida Giannini‘s sexy, mysterious and sensual Gucci women. Gal Gadot was tapped for Gucci’s newest scent entitled Bamboo. The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actress got the Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott treatment and appears as sultry as ever before their lens, making for a captivating image.
