Dita Von Teese Unveils Details of Her Fragrance

After working on her fragrance for a year, burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese is revealing details about it.

After working on her fragrance for a year, burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese is revealing details about it. Set to launch in Europe this October, the eponymous eau de parfum will arrive on US shelves in 2012. The scent will be a rich floral with peony, bergamot, and pepper top notes, a heart of rose and jasmine, and a musk and incense base; it's supposed to invoke the ideal "femme totale" Dita has envisioned.

The bottle, which has lots of vintage touches like a black silk tassel, vintage-style ball atomizer, and "nail polish red” pearl inset, was also a big part of the fragrance design for Dita. "I have always been a passionate collector of rare perfume bottles from the 1920s and 1930s," Dita said in a recent press statement. “My perfume’s flacons need to be the absolute embodiment of my dream of glamour, mystery, beauty, and the femme fatale."

What Are Your Deal-Breaker Perfume Ingredients?

In February news broke out that Dita Von Teese would be launching her first perfume.

In February news broke out that Dita Von Teese would be launching her first perfume. And while she has yet to reveal the name of the scent, we do know what the juice will not include. Dita recently revealed, "There's no fruity vanilla bullsh*t . . . A lot of celebrity fragrances are fruit, vanilla, and I wanted something for grown-up girls."

Gourmand-type scents aren't exactly my favorite either; give me anything that smells like cake or cookies, and I'll instantly feel ill. What about you? What types of fragrances and notes do you tend to avoid?

Gisele Bundchen and Katie Holmes Get Together For Beauty Culture

Katie Holmes and Gisele Bundchen shared a red carpet last night to celebrate the Beauty Culture exhibit, which opens tomorrow, at the Annenberg Space For Photography in LA.

Katie Holmes and Gisele Bundchen shared a red carpet last night to celebrate the Beauty Culture exhibit, which opens tomorrow, at the Annenberg Space For Photography in LA. It's a collection of images from various photographers, including a snap of Gisele herself, designed to make viewers question the pursuit of beauty. More Hollywood stars came out for the event, including Halle Berry, Ali Larter, and Amber Heard. Supermodel Gisele wrote that she was home in LA after a quick trip to the Amazon, where she was able to do the environmental work that's close to her heart. She posted on her blog, "What a magical place the Amazon is, and so full of history and legends . . . I’m here, sharing my special experience and feelings so we can all think about it. We need and we want to develop, but not at the cost of damaging the planet." The visit was one of philanthropy and fashion, as there was a Gisele Bundchen bikini sighting in Sao Paolo when she took the runway for the Hope Valentine's Day special collection show last week. Katie, meanwhile, is back on the West Coast after a stop in Chicago to honor Oprah and a stint in Florida. She got some swimsuit time in as well when she hit the pool with daughter Suri at her Miami hotel, near where husband Tom Cruise has been working on Rock of Ages.

Dita Von Teese Is Working on Her Perfume

The rumors seem to be true: the glamorous Dita Von Teese is developing her own fragrance.


The rumors seem to be true: the glamorous Dita Von Teese is developing her own fragrance. While working in the French countryside with her perfumers, she tweeted about the process. Don't expect a fruity floral from the burlesque star, who counts Quelques Fleurs and Dior's Passage No. 4 as favorites. "No fruit, no vanilla, no candy," she insists. "Velvet sensuality with a dash of vulgarity! I want to evoke passion with fragrance: intense love/lust and distaste/fear rather than merely popular acceptance." No word on an official launch date, but if we had to guess, we'd predict late Fall or early 2012.

Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis Are Ballet Buddies at the LA Black Swan Premiere

Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis attended the LA premiere of their movie Black Swan on Thursday during the AFI Film Festival. Natalie looked stunning in a floral dress by Rodarte, who also created her ballet costumes, as she smiled for pictures with Mila and their costar Winona Ryder. The actresses play arch-rivals in the film, which I caught at the London Film Festival and recommend, but they gushed at the screening about working with each other. Also in attendance was choreographer and Club Monaco model Benjamin Millepied, who is Natalie's boyfriend, though the two once again avoided posing together.

If You Could Dedicate a Room to One Item, What Would It Be?

Dita von Teese loves to accessorise her looks with headwear, so much so that she has dedicated a whole room of her house to hats!

Dita von Teese loves to accessorise her looks with headwear, so much so that she has dedicated a whole room of her house to hats! She told Vogue,

"I have a huge collection of hats - I have a whole room dedicated to them so that's a lot of hat. You have to be brave to wear a hat. Wearing a hat says: 'I have confidence and I don't mind if people are looking at me.'"

Most of us don't have the luxury to dedicate that much space to clothing, but I would love to have a room full of shoes! This got me wondering, if you could have a room for one item – which item would it be?
