Perfume in the magazines, August 2011: Allure, Details, Elle, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar & W

Posted by Robin on 6 August 2011 2 Comments

Perfume coverage in the August issues of Allure, Details, Elle, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar and W; please comment on any fragrance-related coverage you’ve seen in other fashion & beauty magazines:

Allure

Cover: Jessica Alba (under her name on the cover — I am not making this up — it says "Please Stop YouTubing Her Butt").

Scent strips: Versace Bright Crystal.

Editorial coverage: The Beauty Reporter section includes the Caudalie Vignes trio under the "Editor's Favorites" (p. 34); "Scent Remixes" (p. 35) is a quarter-page on four recent flankers (Coach Poppy, Chanel No. 19 Poudré, Dior Addict to Life and Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude); this month's Smell This feature (random passersby comment on a scent, p. 40) is about Guerlain's Jasminora. "Fanning Favorites" asks Dakota Fanning, face of Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola!, about her favorite beauty products (p. 42).

Paul Marciano: 10 Things Every Woman Should Have includes (not surprisingly) Guess Seductive Eau de Toilette (p. 60).

French Lessons by Judy Bachrach is a 2 1/4 page article outlining the 7 perfume rules of French women (p. 110). Rule No. 1: There is only one reason, if you're French, to wear perfume.

    Robin (and others!),
    Shape this month has listed under “The Hot List” scented sneakers from Adidas. Apparently “each pair comes in a bright color with a coordinating fragrance (for example, the purple ones emit a subtle grape aroma).” Eww, but how could I not share! 🙂

    Weirdly, I tried to find a link, and I can’t find them anywhere online. . .so maybe they haven’t be released yet. Anyway, if someone’s interested, they are listed in Shape as “Adidas Fruit Salad Boat CC Lace shoes.”

      Thanks so much! I will have to keep an eye out for those. Bet you’re right and they’re just not out yet.
