Prada Infusion d’Iris: Since its arrival in 2007, Infusion d’Iris has redefined the rules of contemporary perfumery through its delicately balanced mix of tradition and sensuality: an inspiring and joyful vision of what it means to be a woman today. Infusion d’Iris captured the attention of the market, opening up a new space within the Prada Parfums portfolio for fresher scents, within the context of Prada’s vision of timeless heritage fused with uncompromising modernity. Now, Prada Parfums has launched a new advertizing campaign that brings these qualities into a fresh alignment.

Shot by Steven Meisel, creator of many of Prada’s most striking images, and featuring model Lara Stone, this print media campaign creates a compelling vision of the unique qualities that make Infusion d’Iris an inspiring, unforgettable experience.

Lara Stone lies on a marble check floor, the same emblematic floor found in the original Prada store at Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Her gaze, both alluring and inquiring, holds our attention for a moment, but soon our eyes are irresistibly drawn to the object before her: an outsize flacon of Infusion d’Iris.

Sensual and evocative, this image reconnects the viewer to Prada’s heritage represented by the historic Prada crest that graces the bottle of Infusion d’Iris, the true protagonist of this campaign.

A celebration of the timeless Prada heritage, brought into a sharp contemporary focus.

Burberry represents a tradition of prestige and performance heritage. On the heels of the Winter Olympic games in Vancouver, the timing couldn’t be more appropriate to launch the newest fragrance collection by Burberry, Burberry SPORT for Men and Women – hitting stores in mid-March 2010.

Burberry SPORT, the newest scent designed in alignment with Burberry’s Sport Fashion line, combines sporting attitude with an energetic spirit. Inspired by the British outdoors and the brand’s iconic performance trench coat history, Burberry’s Creative Director Christopher Bailey designed the two new scents as a natural extension of Burberry’s technical, functional, and fashion DNA.

Christopher Bailey’s inspiration for SPORT is realized in an energizing fragrance that combines confident notes of red ginger, sea salt, and cedar wood at its heart and base. The packaging reflects Burberry SPORT’s iconic color scheme of winter white (for women) and black (for men). The packaging – rubberized case on the glass bottle, and red rubberized Burberry Sport wristband, embossed with the Burberry logo which encircle the exterior packaging for both the women’s and men’s scent – capture the all-weather, outdoor essence of the Burberry SPORT brand.

Burberry SPORT Collection:

Women’s EDT 1.0 fl. oz. – $48
Women’s EDT 1.7 fl. oz. – $58
Women’s EDT 2.5 fl. oz. – $78
Men’s EDT 1.0 fl. oz. – $47
Men’s EDT 1.7 fl. oz. – $57
Men’s EDT 2.5 fl. oz. – $72

A new facet of CHANCE is born — the third generation of the CHANCE Fragrance family. CHANEL Master Perfumer Jacques Polge has created a new fragrance constellation that is a whirlwind of tender and vibrant notes.

Last fall, Jo Malone presented Vanilla & Anise, the fragrance inspired by the floral landscape of Madagascar, capturing the fleeting moment that the rare vanilla orchid blossoms. The fragile cream and white flowers found on the vanilla vine are a precious discovery: only one or two appear in the morning and seemingly vanish by late afternoon. To enhance your fragrance ritual, in addition to Cologne, choose from the new Bath Oil, Body Crème and Home Candle. Your senses and your home will be infused with this comforting scent.

Vanilla & Anise blends notes of bergamot, neroli and star anise to create a touch of spice sparkling above transparent layers of delicate vanilla orchid and frangipani. The warmth of vetiver, white amber and the subtlest hint of clove complete this unexpected, modern story of vanilla.

Fragrance Combining Tip:
To fragrance combine, spray one Jo Malone Cologne, let it dry, and then spray a different Cologne on top to create your unique signature scent. Or, try a Body Crème in one scent layered over a Bath Oil in another.

Combine Vanilla & Anise with Black Vetyver Café to add a rich intensity and smoky depths to this exotic, sparkling scent.

Top Notes: Sicilian Bergamot, Tunisian Neroli, Wild Fennel Flower, Star Anise
