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 luxurious packaging of Christian Lacroix Noir is distinctive of the house of Lacroix, reflecting a passion for embroidered motifs with the bold use of black.

The renowned style maker has created two new fashionable floral scents exclusively for Avon, available from April 2008.

Flower by Cynthia Rowley is feminine and flirty, yet sophisticated. Every note was hand-picked by Cynthia herself, creating a bouquet of florals surrounded by warm woods and musks. The notes include: Casablanca Lily, Freesia, Cashmere Woods, Warm Vanilla, Skin Musk, Velvet Woods, and Sandalwood. Price: $30 for 50ml.

“I wanted to capture the essence of our collection and the women we dress in this fragrance,” says Cynthia. “I think we can associate the elements of design-texture, shape, color-with these scents that embody our sensibilities. I like that the fragrance is complex, with so many disparate notes, but has such a simple name-Flower.” -Cynthia Rowley.

Petal by Cynthia Rowley is the bud for the grownup Flower by Cynthia Rowley and captures the innocent, youthful blush of freshly bloomed Lily of the Valley. It is a natural extension of Flower, similar to the inextricable bond between mothers and daughters. Petal is lighter than Flower, with a more carefree sensibility, and was made to be worn by young girls as well as women who are young in heart. Price: $15 for 30ml.

“The scent of my mom’s fragrance, which she would wear on special occasions and spritz on me before going out, is one of my favorite memories from childhood. I wanted to make something that I could share with my daughters-only with their own fragrance notes.”-Cynthia Rowley.
