GUERLAIN REJUVENATES SHALIMAR In 1920, Jacques Guerlain created what is now known today as a legendary fragrance, Shalimar. Today, Guerlain is introducing a fresh scent, Shalimar Parfum Initial, to offer a new gateway into the original enchantment for those who are too young to remember.

T h i e r r y Wa s s e r , Guerlain’s perfumer, says the fragrance was inspired by his young niece, who was rather intimidated, but nonetheless fascinated by the historic masterpiece, and asked him to compose “a Shalimar just for her.”

“It was a real challenge,” said Wasser, “allowing the perfume to evolve in time, 85 years after its creation, without distorting it and retaining the alchemy that makes it so desirable. I had to lighten but not disown the fragrance, transpose but not betray it. Create the future while honoring the past.”

The amber-floral fragrance was crafted on the basis of four ingredients that have been favored by Guerlain perfumers throughout the decades— centifolia rose, Italian iris, vanilla and tonka bean. Calabrian bergamot and hedione were added for a touch of freshness to complement the light aromas of caramel and warm fruit, and to support the vanilla in place of the original leathery accents.

The advertising campaign, photographed by Paolo Roversi, features an elegant, nude portrait of Natalia Vodianova with a luxuriant tumble of hair and hint of smile. The bottle keeps true to the Baccarat crystal original designed by Raymond Guerlain, who was inspired by a Mughal fruit basket, like those that can be seen on the marble of Indian palaces. The bottle also retains the sapphire cabochon and silk fringe of the first, but the tassel is now grey blue and The ad campaign. the juice is a new shade of soft, powdery rose.

Shalimar Parfum Initial is available this month in select specialty and department stores, and is priced at $119.00 for 3.4 oz., $84.00 for 2.0 oz. and $67.00 for 1.0 oz.

GREAT LASH CELEBRATES 40 YEARS of beauty -Continued from Page 189

As the official cosmetic sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Maybelline New York has partnered with three renowned fashion designers—Max Azria, Tracy Reese and Vivienne Tam—to create the limited edition collection. Each designer took inspiration from their own collections to create fresh takes on the original pink and green tube.

“Great Lash mascara is a timeless product; every woman knows the iconic green and pink packaging,” said Tracy Reese. “I was excited to design limited-edition packaging in celebration of the 40th anniversary and chose a graphic floral print that exudes fun and femininity, and complements the signature colors of the brand.”

With a history embedded in fashion—designer Lily Pulitzer inspired the colorful tube in 1971— Great Lash is returning to its roots.

“Great Lash has always been a favorite among leading makeup artists and industry insiders, whether they are working on a celebrity client or backstage at Fashion Week,” said David Greenberg, president of Maybelline New York-Garnier-Essie.

“The designs of Max Azria, Tracy Reese and Vivienne Tam represent the spirit of the Maybelline New York woman—modern, confident ■CW and chic.”

even lead customers to the nearest window to use natural light.

Faced with this challenge, Estée Lauder began a search for better instore lighting for its makeup counters in several department stores in the U.S. and Asia. Philips had conducted extensive research on shoppers and retail lighting, discovering that customers want lighting that is flattering, looks natural, and that resembles the setting for a particular occasion or time of day. They also studied the degree to which skin tone and cultural backgrounds impact lighting preferences, and as a result they were able to create a system that can instantly adjust the lighting to set the proper scene based on a diverse range of settings.

“Philips understands how color, temperature and brightness affect skin tones,” said McKay. “They displayed an understanding of our customers and their needs. What Philips designed made sense, and was exactly what we were looking for.”

The collaboration was unveiled at the Estée Lauder Beautiful Skin Studio,

a unique experience that features a personal consultation by a beauty advisor using lighting technology from Philips. The private studio space— first available at Lord & Taylor’s flagship store in New York City—enables customers and beauty advisors to choose the right foundation for the right lifestyle situation. The lighting solution is embedded in the studio’s mirrors and provides different levels and shades of white light—from very cool and bright to warm and cozy. The beauty advisor selects the desired scene for the customer—daylight, office light or evening light—by simply touching a button on a pre-programmed iPad. Based on the success of the initial installations—renovated counters have experienced a significant increase in sales—Estée Lauder has now implemented the new Philips Lighting-based Beautiful Skin Studio in three U.S. department stores, along with additional stores in Australia and Hong Kong, and have plans for many more.

FRAGRANCE FOUNDATION FORMS ‘INDIE’ COMMITTEE

The Fragrance Foundation has formed a specialized committee dedicated to developing the recognition, understanding and appreciation of indie fragrance brands and their creators.

The “Indie” Fragrance Committee mission statement and purpose is to support the excellence, talent and artistry of indie perfumes, celebrate their individuality and craftsmanship, give a voice to the indie brands, and address any issues and concerns that are important to the group as a whole.

“While niche fragrances have always been recognized at the annual FiFi Awards, we are keen to find a way to encourage more niche/ independent submissions by reaching out to the smaller, successful, entrepreneurial brands not supported by a large company,” said Rochelle Bloom,

president of The Fragrance Foundation.

To fulfill the mission statement, Rochelle Bloom and Foundation vice president Mary Ellen Lapsansky reached out to a group of fragrance experts to form the “Indie” committee, enlisting their collective insight and experience of the niche/independent fragrance culture to contribute as an ongoing source of advice, judging criteria, overall support, future potential of the indie category and more.

“Each and every committee member is absolutely in tune with this world, knows their needs and understands their dreams,” said Lapsansky. “We thank them for their support.”
