GIVENCHY ADDS EDGE TO VERY IRRESISTIBLE
KATE WALSH CREATES PERFECT “BOYFRIEND”
Since 2003, Very Irrésistible Givenchy and its veritable m u s e L i v Ty l e r , h a v e represented a unique and ongoing story of love at first sight between t h e H o u s e a n d i t s i c o n . Taking the relationship to a new level, Liv Tyler is revealing a new facet, that is still irresistible, but more assertive and charismatic—Very Irrésistible Givenchy L’Intense. Created to express the seductive allure of a resolutely contemporary woman, this new fragrance represents her journey through life as she becomes more self-assured in the choices she makes. Highlighting the iconic rose, this eau de parfum captures a new aspect of the flower, in plum-like shades of purple that take on a deeper, more voluptuous radiance. The fragrance opens with notes of juicy plum and develops into middle notes of Turkish rose that emanate the spirit of Givenchy elegance and femininity. By combining
Actress Kate Walsh, best known for her role as Dr. Addison Montgomery on the television series Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, marked her first foray into the beauty industry with the launch of her own company, Boyfriend LLC. With the desire to tell a story, and a lot of dedication, came the idea for the modern, sexy and sophisticated fragrance called Boyfriend. “After a past breakup, I missed the scent of my boyfriend but didn’t want to wear a purely masculine fragrance that would overpower me,” said Walsh.

KATE WALSH CREATES PERFECT “BOYFRIEND” -Continued from Page 17
“I had an idea to create something that would balance femininity and masculinity, and create a feeling that so many women could identify with.” To create that balance, Ms. Walsh worked with Givaudan perfumer Marypierre Julien to craft a scent that combines rich notes of amber and woods with a vibrant floral aroma. The mix of bright muguet floralcy with dark plum results in a poised contrast that perfectly captures “his scent” with a wearable feminine twist. “When working with Marypierre, I was really drawn to the smell of sandalwoods,” said Walsh. “It was important to me that the fragrance have that addictive quality.”
Chad Lavigne was enlisted to produce the packaging, and designed a custom-tooled bottle based on a classic Chanel-type shape, with men’s names printed on the back to represent “boyfriends.” “I wanted classic lines with a luxe-feel,” said Walsh. “For me it’s all about bringing luxury back to fragrance and making it chic, but accessible.” Wi t h t h e h e l p o f c o n s u l t a n t Pamela Vaile, Ms. Walsh was able to generate a marketing plan, including prominent air-time on HSN and an exclusive deal with Sephora that just launched last month. “HSN gives me the ability to connect with consumers, and I love telling the story about the brand,” said Walsh. “I am doing the Today’s
Special on Valentine’s Day…who doesn’t want a ‘ Boyfri end’ on Valentine’s Day? I want women to embrace romance once again.” With the upsurge of viral marketing, Kate created and produced “webimercials”—comedically-oriented shorts illustrating different “boyfriend” scenarios—that can be seen on select Internet sites and yourboyfriend.com. “In the end, I want the company to be about the boyfriend story and the brand itself, not the celebrity affiliation,” said Walsh. “But of course it would be nice if fans of the show embrace the fragrance as well.” Boyfriend is available at Sephora in a deluxe set, which contains a miniature-sized 0.5 oz. eau de parfum, 0.16 oz. pulse-point oil, 1.0 oz. dry body oil, 1.6 oz. body crème and a votive candle in a red train case for $95.00. The complete line of products is also available in fullsized formats, including the 1.7 oz. eau de parfum priced at $65.00. “Boyfriend is an exciting launch for Sephora’s fragrance category, bringing a creative and innovative approach to women’s scent,” said Margarita Arriagada, senior vice president of merchandising at Sephora. “Kate’s passion and inspiration are evident in this launch and we look forward to more enticing introductions as the brand evolves.” With hopes of success, Kate has envisioned thoughts of expansion, possibly into the home or cosmetics categories. “We’ll see how it goes,” said Walsh. “The stakes are high, and I’m all in.” ■CW

“Customers have repeatedly asked year after year for skin care,” said Simon Cowell, chief marketing officer for Bare Escentuals. “Our brand is a story, and after Chapter 1: The Makeup Revolution, we have decided to enter Chapter 2: Complexion Redefined.” The new skin care line’s proprietary ingredient, RareMinerals Active Soil Complex, is composed of the earth’s most natural soil, containing a comprehensive blend of 72 beneficial macro and micro minerals. When extracted through a unique method, these minerals yield a densely rich, efficacious concentrate that is capable of transformational skin-renewing benefits, and have an antioxidant capacity greater than a pomegranate or blueberry. Each product formula includes the complex, which has been clinically proven to deliver faster cell turnover, noticeably smaller pores, increased luminosity and smoother, younger-looking skin. “We dedicate our lives and our time to making a positive difference in women’s lives,” said Cowell. “We love changing the way women feel about their skin.” With a balanced assortment of cleansers, moisturizers and treatments, this collection delivers solutions for all types of skin.
