The lukewarm reception of Cher's first scent had little to do with the scent itself and more to do with the fact that people didn't really seem to get it. Celebrities weren't attaching their names to products quite yet, and it was even before endorsements became commonplace. People were still shopping at department store counters and looking for luxury in the places they'd always found it. Consumers didn't yet know how to contextualize a celebrity scent. I didn’t realize she’s released another scent Portia! I was another one of those kids who watched the Sonny and Cher show and loved the glamorous Cher with her amazing costumes, fabulous wigs and great singing. I’ve always liked her acting best. If it's anything like her next level bedazzled outfits, we 'Believe' it's going to be epic. At present there isn't a firm release date for the perfume, but instead Cher has said it will launch 'when I'm ready'. The ’60s is a mix of Chypre Flora with notes of Bergamot, Rose Damascena, and Patchouli, representing the nostalgia, peace, and love era. I wanted a heavy scent," Cher explains. "Not that I wanted people to run out of the elevator, but I wanted to be sure it lasted beyond the first spray."

Women are the future. We're not going to be taking crumbs anymore; we're going to take over, but not in a mean way. Because I think we're much better than that. I think that if women were in politics, we wouldn't have all this bullshit stuff that's going on. We wouldn't have had Trump and his merry band of criminals, you know? So I think that women are taking over things that they never were allowed to. Frederic Malle perfume has been around since slightly before 2000. Founded on a philosophy of giving the perfumer a very broad idea of what they wanted, then letting the perfume create it. Then, the almost always unseen, unknown perfumer got… Continue Reading →...I was like, "Just think of a madras bedspread." There was this feeling of the '60s—all fresh and breaking out, but not like Charlie, you know what I mean? I always wanted to stay away from that, even though it was the most popular scent of the time. But I didn't like it. I thought it was for good girls. I wasn't one. I have not, but this post makes want to watch Mermaids again. Clove, vetiver, and vanilla orchid sounds like Charlotte, and all the rest is Rachel 🙂

I can't say exactly why it took four years," Cher tells me over the phone. "Nothing ever took me four years. I just knew when I had it. A few times, I thought I had it, but a few days later, I changed my mind. It was kind of like, you know it when you see it." Corden continues: “You know what I think the best smell for a man is? A man that smells like a fire — a log fire. Would you agree with that? … A man who can build a fire, a caveman.” The ‘90s with a floral scent and notes of peach nectar, heliotrope, and sandalwood, representing grunge and pop escapism. I was inspired by movie stars and by freedom. There's so many things happening around you—and they inspire you. I used to watch old movies in the afternoon with my mother. Audrey Hepburn, and both Hepburn girls, Katharine. All the old movie stars, like Lana Turner. Hedy Lamarr! Oh, my god, I was so crazy about her. For me, she was the deep, dark, seductive—she was the bad-girl perfume. You know, there was, like, the good-girl perfume and the bad-girl perfume. I always kind of gravitated to the bad-girl perfume.As this Cher perfume further warms, it teases and shows off a more romantic side with its lovely floral heart notes of jasmine, rose and orange blossom that lurks beneath those fearless powerful notes. You feel its softer beauty taking center stage now dominating your attention, counteracting some of its rebellious nature that gives in better balance. Her most recent, Eau de Couture, is a flirty meets sensual blend, with notes of bergamot (Corden wasn’t totally off base!) and neroli. Frederic Malle Promise is the latest release from the line. Inspired by the Middle East market, like Night, but without that high of a price tag, it has notes of rose, apple, rose, pink pepper, rose, clove, rose, patchouli, rose,… Continue Reading →... There's a way women can be powerful, and it's not breaking down the walls. We've got these chips in the wall, and at some point, men are going to move over, and we will be able to take care of things that they've screwed up. At some point, that's going to happen, and it's already happening in many ways in many cities. Speaking to Women’s Wear Daily about the scent's effect on the wearer, Cher described it as 'very touchy-feely. It makes you want to hold onto yourself.'

I often wonder if we are living in the last era of true living legends. Of people who just are stars, point blank, without relying on or playing into the endless news cycle, fresh social media platforms, and viral content. Madonna. Janet. Celine. Tina. Diana. Their icon status is non-negotiable. Who would we deem untouchable from today’s group of girls? Britney, of course. Without question, Beyoncé, who is arguably the last celebrity to maintain an air of mystery while consistently being at the center of the conversation. Now I have to go find some of this, as I do love 22. Not as much as I love 5 (how could I?) but I do love it. We are thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with the iconic Cher.

Sure I bet there are bits of these notes but what I read here is a generic, safe, modern nothing of a fragrance with nothing even slightly challenging. Far from the reality, far far. Hey Posse! Cher! One of the queens of style. An icon who has managed to stay relevant and popular through highs, lows and a fair smattering of mediocrity. Her original 1987 fragrance Uninhibited was a direct CHANEL No 5 descendant, all fizzy aldehydes and fruity space flowers over woodsy vanilla. One of my besties is a complete Cher aficionado who follows her concerts around the world and I found him a small bottle of it in the early 2010s, he has loved and cherished it. So, weirdly, in 2019 she decided that the world needed a new Cher fragrance, enter Eau de Couture.I haven’t heard of this; however, I haven’t been to a store in forever! Is this a perfume you would wear Portia? I adore No 22. I used to love watching the Sonny & Cher variety show!

I don't think in terms of genders," Cher says. "I didn't specifically want to create a 'genderless' fragrance. I created it for people who like it. I've worn men's fragrances. Val [Kilmer] used to wear Kouros, which was a men's fragrance, and I liked how it smelled and wore it sometimes. I've also worn Canoe and Taboo, though my mom didn't think Taboo was for 'good' girls."
