Badgley Mischka will launch their second fragrance, Fleurs de Nuit, in October. The new limited edition scent was inspired by a moon garden in India…
Covet has that vibe…
"I really like vanilla perfumes -- Covet has that vibe -- but couldn't wear them when I was engaged," she says. "I just broke up with my fiance. He didn't like me wearing Angel by Thierry Mugler, so I may go back to that." She touches up her pink lipstick in the mirror. "He was so controlling."
"This smells like ... you know when you work out all day and have that really bad scent? Not exactly that, but maybe something more pungent."

This year’s entry was created by perfumers Jacques Cavallier and Olivier Cresp, and features notes of mandarin orange, bergamot, black rose, patchouli, amber and French vanilla.
The fragrance is fronted by actress Eva Green, best known for her recent starring role in Casino Royale:
Green said she dislikes what she considers strong “old lady” scents and often goes without fragrance, but noted she’s smitten with Midnight Poison. “It’s quite fresh compared to the other Poisons – it’s younger, fresher, like the commercial,” she said. (via Women’s Wear Daily, 6/1/2007)
