“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.
A totally random point- is the 2011-2012 don carlo (the second one, after the maazel one, in italian) the same london production as the year before, or the old one? Is the old production totally gone, or just in hiding?
pavel- I didn’t know le Teddy was doing B Budd before he is doing it here in October? with Philip Langridge. I thought it was a role debut here but I won’t mind if you get it first. It’s always good to have a practice in the provinces first
I see Maestro Dali is now earning supplementary income as a box designer, how interesting.
is it not possible to talk about anything else than renee related topics? gosh this it turning into an obsession on this site… reminds me of an inverted marschallin with her absolute studer glorification, just in a negated form. we get it, la cieca and many doesn’t like renee. YAWN!
though obviously most of you must be smitten with renee at the same time, as she keeps your minds occupied. clever lady i say!
This perfume exemplifies the Renee process. She starts off thinking it’s all in exquisite taste, then it gets worked over so many times that it ends up being overblown kitsch.
Nothing to sniff at
i always liked her ebony bottom . . he . . he.. he; looks like the beautiful voice has got some junk in the trunk
hab mir’s gelobt- well said! I’m told this is the kind of stuff that destroys sites like these – and it does seem we have begun to lose contributors.
What’s the problem with overblown kitsch on a site like this? The same part of me that loves Cher’s overblown outfits and exquisite designer face is so going to get me some eu de Renee.
La Voce Renée Fleming resembles the scent of my vomit after a visit to Matt Moran’s ‘Aria’ restaurant in Sydney.
All that’s missing is the scent of Balmain Bugs on the turn!
Chocolate Mousse = What a pile of shit!
Sorry , make that fragrant shit.
