Since partnering with international fragrance powerhouse Coty Inc. in 2005, Kimora continues to captivate the fragrance world with her bold new fragrance, DARE ME. This captivating and flirty scent is the essence of independence, designed to encourage girls and women of all ages to “own the catwalk and take center stage.” The packaging taps into the fun, edgy and fabulous fashion that is at the heart of the Baby Phat brand. It dares to be noticed.

The luminous floriental fragrance opens with an intriguingly smooth coconut top note that blends into a heart of velvety blackberry crème and vanilla orchid with a sophisticated warm drydown of crème de musk and sandalwood. The fragrance is complemented with unabashed packaging and inspirational messaging that dares women to be fearless, smart, glamorous and sexy.

As a mother, a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist and style icon, DARE ME is the first fragrance to fully express Kimora’s dedication to inspiring young women to play the game of life by their own rules. Kimora noted, “I wanted to create a fragrance that makes women feel like they can conquer anything their hearts desire. To me, DARE ME, is the absolute essence of girl power. I went from being a shy teenager to the woman I am today by daring to be bold, fearless and comfortable in my own skin. My new fragrance embodies all of these aspects of how I want women to feel and I can’t wait to share it with my fans.”

“Over the past 5 years, Coty and Kimora Lee Simmons have been working hand-in-hand to create a fashion-forward fragrance portfolio that embodies Kimora’s natural charisma and over the top lifestyle,” stated Steve Mormoris, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Coty Beauty. “Now, with the launch of her newest fragrance, Kimora offers a new twist on her existing fragrance collection that captures the fun, sexy and youthful spirit of the Baby Phat Fashion Brand.”

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
