No James Bond 007 movie is complete without a Bond Girl, the modern-day epitome of enticing empowerment and serious sex appeal. Women want to be her; men want to be with her – she’s impossible to resist! Now with a little help from Avon and their seductive new fragrance, Bond Girl 007, every woman can feel like a Bond Girl-smart, empowered, resourceful, confident and sexy.

To create Bond Girl 007, Avon collaborated with the James Bond entertainment franchise; the result? An irresistible cocktail of glamour and mystery. The new fragrance will debut this fall in conjunction with the release of Quantum of Solace, the latest film in the Bond series. British actress Gemma Arterton, who plays the role of Agent Fields in the upcoming film, will be the face of the new fragrance. A smart and sexy Bond Girl, Agent Fields is sent by MI6 to bring James Bond back to safety. In this role, Gemma embodies the glamour and power that is quintessential to Bond Girls.

Bond Girl 007 is an alluring blend of velvety florals, cool freshness and warm woods featuring top notes of white peach and orange blossom. Mid notes include jasmine, calypso orchid and freesia, followed by a drydown of amber, cashmere wood, patchouli and musks.

“Bond Girls have always embodied a sexy mix of femininity and cleverness,” says Gemma. “My character, Agent Fields, is determined, empowered and sexy. It’s so exciting to share a piece of her through the Bond Girl 007 fragrance.”

Like Gemma’s Bond Girl alter-ego Agent Fields, the new fragrance reflects a modern take on the classic Bond bombshell icon. With Bond Girl 007, every woman is as irresistible as the famous femme fatales for which the scent is named.

Housed in a sleek, curvaceous silhouette-shaped bottle, complete with a sophisticated James Bond-inspired cap, the fragrance evokes the glamour and sensuality of the Bond Girl appeal. Remove the cap to trigger this explosive new fragrance.

Gemma Arterton was scheduled to appear globally in print and television advertising for the Bond Girl 007 fragrance beginning in October 2008.

The unveiling of the fragrance took place at an exclusive cocktail party hosted by Avon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Jung at The Skyloft Penthouse in Tribeca. The debut of the fragrance follows the announcement of the multi-year partnership agreement Avon made with the actor in May 2008.

The fragrance tagline, “Follow Your Passion,” captures the true essence of Patrick and his belief that each individual should develop and write their own script for life. Patrick Dempsey Unscripted will launch in November of 2008 in the U.S., with a global launch following in 2009.

Dempsey played a leading role in the development of Patrick Dempsey Unscripted and was intimately involved with the concept, name, package and olfactive notes. The end result is a true reflection of the man behind the fragrance. The partnership felt like a natural fit to Patrick as his wife, Jillian Dempsey, has worked with Avon as the company’s Global Creative Color Director for the past two years.

“Collaborating with Avon to create Unscripted has been such an exciting journey for me,” says Dempsey. “I enjoyed the opportunity to play a different creative role by working on this fragrance from start to finish. Unscripted is about loving what you do and doing it in your own unique way.”

Patrick Dempsey Unscripted, developed by International Flavors and Fragrances, is a Woody Green scent that expresses the freedom of the open road with fresh, aromatic cardamom and invigorating cracked black peppercorn.

At the heart, a sensual mix of fig and crisp lavender enrich the experience with a warm, sophisticated texture. The drydown reveals an unusual twist – a bold blend of exclusive leatherwood and patchouli heart wrapped in earthy vetiver and rich musk for an authentic, adventurous finish. Patrick Dempsey Unscripted is housed in a simple yet iconic bottle. The outer packaging contains sharp, classic lines that are both modern and masculine. The unique colors of the carton, a rich textured gradient with orange accents, convey Patrick’s overall vision – original and unexpected.

Patrick Dempsey Unscripted will be featured in the company’s brochure, which is distributed to over 5 million representatives around the globe, and will be supported by print advertising. The fragrance will be available for $32.00 in the U.S. beginning in November 2008.
