House of Fraser Launches Jimmy Choo Fragrance
London, England (PRWEB) February 25, 2011
Home of Fraser, the UK’s premium department store, has launched the first fragrance from luxury accessories adjudge Jimmy Choo.
Jimmy Choo was one of the first labels to realise the selling power of the red carpet and has been offering celebrities, and especially Oscar nominees, customised Jimmy Choo heels for their huge nights for many years. The brand is now synonymous with the red carpet and the celebrity A-List – including appearing in hit fashion movies Sex and The City and The Devil Wears Prada. The luxury footwear adjudge – which launched almost 15 years ago – has since expanded into luxury handbags, designer sunglasses and now, its first perfume (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Fragrances+Perfumes/101,default,sc.html ).
Tamara Mellon – the brand’s founder and chief creative officer – is particularly passionate about this expansion into the fragrance (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Fragrances+Perfumes/101,default,sc.html ) arena. She stated of the launch: “Fragrance has always been part of my vision for Jimmy Choo. To fully extend the Jimmy Choo lifestyle, enveloping the woman with the sensuality and essence of the brand. I have always loved wearing perfume; it’s part of my identity. Now to create a signature fragrance for Jimmy Choo expressing an aura of strength and beauty is my eventual dream.”
The Jimmy Choo perfume (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/null+Jimmy+Choo/jimmychoo,default,pd.html?cgid=101 ), Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum, is a modern fruity Chypre, which is the French term for Cyprus, with a citrus top note and floral heart. It is inspired by modern women – strong empowered, beautiful, seductive and alluring with a confident sexuality. The scent blends exotic Tiger Orchid, with sweet toffee and heady Indonesian patchouli.
The bottle and box are symbolic of the luxury at the heart of the Jimmy Choo brand and reflect Tamara’s individualized taste for antique and modern objects. The facetted bottle is inspired by jewel-coloured Venetian Murano glass and is reminiscent of Jimmy Choo’s many crystal encrusted shoes.
Tamara continued: “It was very important to me to create a beautiful and precious bottle, which is an goal of desire that women will want to keep forever.”
The box features Jimmy Choo’s signature glamorous snake skin print in a fragrance-friendly shade of pink.
Even the ad campaign has Tamara’s individualized vision of modern women ingrained into it. It features the founder herself wearing, a pink off-the-shoulder dress with a print that matches the snake skin of the perfume’s box, clutching the perfume bottle. As a mother, style picture and business woman, who superior embodies the style, confidence and dynamism key to the Jimmy Choo brand than Tamara? The campaign was shot by leading fashion photographic partnership Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh.
The fragrance is acquirable now at Home of Fraser stores and online on its website alongside Calvin Klein perfume and Yves Saint Laurent fragrances (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Fragrances+Perfumes/101,default,sc.html?prefn1=brand&prefv1=Yves%20Saint%20Laurent&fix&spcl ).
