When Makeup Begets Fragrance
November 4, 2009 5:02 pm

With news that prominent fashion brands with fragrances, like Burberry and Michael Kors, are turning to color cosmetics for some good old-fashioned revenue-boosting, it’s perhaps not surprising that well-known makeup visionaries are now launching their own signature scents. We’re all for spreading the wealth, aren’t you? Bare Escentuals founder Leslie Blodgett introduced Bare Skin last month. The first fragrance from her eponymous Perfume Diaries collection, the anise, vanilla, and labdanum eau is based on scent memories of a sun-drenched trip to Mexico. The idea of revisiting pivotal moments through fragrance also fueled QVC darling Mally Roncal’s fruity-floral venture, which officially went on sale last week. Mally Beauty Fragrance pays homage to Roncal’s Filipino roots and uses the country’s night-blooming sampaguita flower as its heart. If only they’d add haircare to their product offerings, they’d have the whole brand-loyalty thing all sewn up.
