And now Oscar
de la Renta is launching his third women’s fragrance, Something Blue, which is a
new bridal fragrance inspired by matrimony….Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue...
Oscar de la
Renta is admits that Calvin Klein’s perfume Eternity has links to the idea of
everlasting love, and de la Renta jokes that he plans to muscle in in its
territory. 
Something
Blue is a fragrance to cherish forever. Inspired by life’s most magical moments,
it is a romantic fragrance, which opens with a sparkling burst of mandarin and
linden blossom and warms to an irresistibly sultry finish with notes of bourbon
vanilla and white musk. The heart is stephanotis with the flowers
picked from de la Renta’s home garden in Punta Cana. Additional notes include stephanotis, lily of the valley and lychee.
Despite the fact
that the scent is bridal inspired, de la Renta and his crew of perfumers insist
it's still a "lifestyle" fragrance—so you don't need to tie the knot
in order to spritz this stuff.
The fragrance was
formulated by perfumer Frank Völkl of Firmenich with Ann Gottlieb.
The bottles are made of transparent glass with a blue
stopper shaped like a ball. A removable
silver ring engraved with the designer’s signature logo is a symbol of Mr. de
la Renta’s abiding devotion to his beloved clientele. The ring itself evokes
the very act of wedding.
Oscar de la
Renta Something Blue will be available in the US on January 17th
2013. At this stage I’m unsure when the perfume will be available in Australia.
I don’t know
about you, but I love the sound of this perfume. Personally I love Calvin Klein’s
Eternity, I wore it on my wedding day, and is one of the very few perfumes that
I have actually repurchased countless times, so even though I don’t plan on ever walking
down the isle again, I will definitely be checking out Something Blue.
What about
you? Do you like the sound and look of Something Blue? What is your favourite
perfume?
