“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.
As I sit in my dressing gown backstage at La Nueva Escuelita awaiting the second show at midnight, I am in utter anticipation of this product’s launch. This opens up so many horizons for new character developments and expands them to aromatic levels of ecstasy! I am no lownger limited to my Britney, JLO and Tabu fragrances and reserve a place, next to them, on my dressing table for the arrival of The Beautiful Voice. A Fleming scent which will give voice to my mystic art of illusion and allure — lipsynching the tearful strains of all Belgium women.
I want a bottle of that…
I wanna mix it with Coty’s Celine Dion fragrances and then perform.
“Sempre libera YOOOOOOUUUUU’RE HEEEEEEERE degg’io folleggiare THERE’S NOOOOOOOOOOOTHING”
Warmed brie smells just like come. Really. Tastes good on a cracker.
which… the brie or the c
Every time I come to that “lily of the valley” bit I can’t help but remember Vivian Vance in the operetta episode of I Love Lucy. “La Voce Ethel Mertz” – now that’s a scent I would buy!
High C’s: I heard Mauriuz at the Bowl on Sunday as Escamillo. Ah, be still my heart!
If Gheorghiu had a perfume, would the bottle be bottomless?
I feel I am about to be beheaded a la Blanche de la Force but here goes:
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE RENEE FLEMING’S ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITELY GORGEOUS VELVET VOICE.
There I said it!
(Shhhhhhhunk!!!)
Re the perfume and its description: I’m kind of fuckin’ speechless. But the Christian Lacroix dress is a riot.
arepo: I, too, love Renee’s “absolutely exquisitely gorgeous velvet voice.” However, I just wish that, for once, I could actually make out one single syllable of the words she is singing!
