“this doesn’t smell like come to me…”
At long last, scent-lovers who want a perfume container that looks like the powder room chez Alberto Vilar will get their wish. The packaging for “La Voce Renée Fleming” has been unveiled!
Of course looking at anything associated with The Beautiful Voice is only half the fun. Naturally everyone wants to know exactly how “Renée Fleming” smells. Well, wonder no more:
The top notes introduce aromas of passion fruit and mushroom sort Tuber magnatum (white truffle). The heart encompasses jasmine and lily of the valley, while the base notes include chocolate mousse and accords of ebony.
“La Voce Renée Fleming” will retail for $200 per 1.7 ounce bottle, with profits (when, as and if) going to the Metropolitan Opera.
“Discovering that music and fragrance have harmony and even individual notes in common has taken me on a delightful journey. How wonderful then, that Coty is enabling the Metropolitan Opera to benefit, combining luxurious scent and sound,” commented Fleming.
“Hey Renee, nice box!”
At first glance, it looks like a gilded cheeseburger. Maybe I’m just hungry.
PHEW!!!! What a waste of $$$$$$$$ for NOTHING
This is a joke right?
Maury: perhaps you should treat yourself to a nice dinner of passion fruit, white truffles and chocolate mousse.
In a related story, parterre.com has obtained an exclusive sneak preview of Christian Lacroix‘s design for Fleming’s Traviata gown to be seen at the Met’s 2008 opening night.
Estrano very freakin estrano!
It also looks like the console of a cinema organ.
Love those pipes, Renaaaay.
(But from that description, it must smell like a brothel.)
I heard that the package also includes a sound chip. Everytime you uncork the bottle, oops, flacon, Madame will entertain you with a little ditty. Not sure about this, but a variety of choice tunes may be available. It’s a multi-sensual experience!
The Accords of Ebony allowed me to do joint concerts with that older diva now on the Michigan public payroll…
I hope it looks better ‘live’ than it does in a picture. It looks cheap and tacky.
I can hear the retorts now – let them come. (I adore Renee – hate this particular PR stunt.)
