Julian Rouas Paris model shoots

I used to like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; that was until I saw their mugs pasted on the PETA website. Turns out the twins like fur... I like animals... so now, the girls suck. But hey, so does their perfume!!!

I have had 2 bottles of perfume by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for quite some time now. One is labeled, coincidentally...One. The other is called Two. Today though, we're going to focus on One.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is actually made by Coty. A designer name that has been popping up a lot lately. I have mixed feelings when it comes to Coty fragrances. I don't love the designer fragrances, nor do I hate them.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, has sad on my desk for nearly a year now. I got both from a friend for my birthday, and ever since first smelling them, I never really used it again.

Bottle:

One comes in a cylinder shaped bottle. The glass is clear with a very slight tint of blue added in. Running down the length of the bottle is the name of the perfume. There is nothing special about the bottle, nor would anyone want to save it once the perfume was gone.

Scent:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty smells like blueberry mixed with hand soap. It is supposed to be a clean, fresh scent. However I got a soapy blueberry bubble gum scent. It's not really that natural, but it is a relatively playful scent.

I liked it. I really did. Even though the scent was not a natural one, or sophisticated one, it was still a pleasant one.

Last:

So I liked the scent... however there is no point in liking a scent that does not last for longer than 5 minutes. That was seriously all I got out of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty. The scent smelled lovely for 5 minutes, and then it vanished; up and disappeared... not a hint, not a trace...just gone.

Recommended Wear:

What wear? There is no wear to recommend wear.

Overall:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a nice scent, it truly is. Sadly though, nice scents are 100% useless if they do not last. For me Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is a waste of natural resources. It's sad that they would release such a suck-o-rama in a bottle.

Pricing and Availability:

You can still see this crummy stick of perfume in local stores such as Walmart, Kohl's and other department stores. The pricing is around $10.00 for the bottle. You can also buy them in gift sets, which would include both One, and Two.

Sadly though, I do not even find One, to be worth $1.00.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a skip in my opinion. It just does not stick around long enough for me to go ahead and recommend it.

Here is the new ad for Jennifer Aniston’s soon-to-be-launched perfume, Lolavie. I’m still disappointed that she didn’t use any of our ingenious names! Oh well. I’m loving this ad though - she looks very pretty with her hair damp and messed up, with sort of moody sunset (sunrise?) lighting. I want her pedicure too. But is the whole “wrapped in a towel, sitting on some rocks” thing a little… weird? Like, I feel like she just washed up on the island and Charles Widmore is going to put her in the sweatshop of electromagnetic death whilst Jacob fights for her soul. Ohmigod, Aniston is a candidate!!! Note: only Lost fans will get that joke.

Anyhoodle, Aniston gave an interview to Women’s Wear Daily (story via Us Weekly) about the perfume launch. Note: Us Weekly can’t even talk about Aniston’s perfume with literally bringing up the uncool Bermuda Triangle.

Jennifer Aniston says there’s “a long story” behind her perfume name, Lolavie, which roughly translates into “laughing at life.”

“And, honestly, it’s too personal to tell,” teases the actress, 41, to Women’s Wear Daily.

The bottle, though, was inspired by Aniston’s affinity for modern architecture, she says — a shared hobby with ex Brad Pitt. (She once deadpanned that she, Pitt, and Angelina Jolie were in an “insane Bermuda triangle.”)

Aniston says her scent, which will cost between $46.50 and $61.95, will smell “sexy and clean… floral, but not too flowery.”

“I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan,” she explains. “I want people to go, ‘What is that? You smell great!’ But most of all, I wanted it to smell natural.”

Aniston says she’s been approached numerous times to create a fragrance but, “Nothing made me go, ‘Oh that would be fun’ until this,” she says.

She has been heavily involved in every step over the past year-and-a-half, from creating the scent to conceptualizing the ads, which were shot at her fave getaway spot, Cabo San Lucas, and will debut this June in British fashion mags.

“It wasn’t just about showing up for a shoot and putting my name on a bottle. I felt like a little chemist,” she says. “It’s turned out to be an extension of myself as opposed to slapping my name on something.”

She doesn’t have plans to expand a beauty line, but she does want to branch out in her career.

“I have a project in development. I’m going to direct,” she says. “After you get enough movies under your belt, you sit back and go, ‘What’s next?’ It’s getting to be the time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction.”

After wrapping her current film Just Go With It, she’ll next shoot a father-daughter indie project, Buttercup.

“I’m really excited about that one,” she says. “It’s not trying not to make people laugh and it’s not a big tent pole picture. It will be more for me — and for the people who say, ‘You should do something serious.’”

Well, good for her, et cetera. I don’t get how the story behind “laughing at life” is “too personal to tell”. I mean, isn’t it kind of obvious the story involves SPOILER: laughing at life? As opposed to Lolamerde, “laughing at sh-t”. Or LolaTriangle, obviously. LolaGoat? LolaGerBILL?!? I’m out. Now I’m LolaAniston.

Jen's Perfume Smells Like Childless Misery; Justin Bieber Grapples With McQueen's Death

• The inevitable Aniston perfume is, oddly, not titled Desperation and Loneliness but, instead, "Lola V" - which sounds like the name of a Hollywood baby. That she'll never have!


• Celine Dion, meanwhile, presents yet another scent: "Pure Brilliance."

• Kimora, in her latest scent, takes a different approach: "This scent is meant to be a call to action - I am challenging everyone to be bold, inspired and intelligent," she declares. We appreciate the courage of launching a celebrity scent in a world sorely lacking in them.


• Bieber's style: "I'm not a splurger, but I like clothes like G-star and I really like shoes - I wear Supers a lot. I wear a lot of hoodies, but I also like Alexander McQueen. I think he is very original and does amazing stuff. [Interviewer: "Unfortunately, he died recently."] Rest in peace. I didn't know that."


• Jerry Hall calls Botox "hideous," saying, "I'm going to go for the eccentric, wrinkled suntanned look instead. I love the sun. I want to look like a North American Indian - big jewelery and wrinkled, suntanned skin. Much better than the skinny, cut-up look."


• Speaking of the family Jagger, daughter Georgia May is not, as bookies suspected, going to be replacing the disgraced Peaches Geldof as the face of Miss Ultimo. Her agent says she's just too in-demand.


• In a sign that the times they are a-changin', Diane Von Furstenberg is back to expanding her retail empire after a brief, recession-fueled hiatus. May we suggest more discount stores, a la Woodbury Commons? Thanks.


• On the other hand, denim line Rock and Republic has filed for bankruptcy as the denim bubble continues to pop.


• Photographer Todd Cole has shot Rodarte's latest short, a "futuristic film, which featured Guinivere Van Seenus wearing Rodarte's spring/summer dresses."


• One day's not enough for Origins: to celebrate Earth Month, the eco-friendly company's throwing an April 19th concert featuring Macy Gray.


• The appointment of one of the NY Governor's cronies to the board of trustees of the Fashion Institute of Technology is raising well-groomed eyebrows. The non-fashionista's appointment, says one official, "seemed a little out of left field."


• JustJared calls this still from Jesus Luz's Ellus Leather Denim campaign a "Shirtless Easter Treat." We'd call it more, a study in blankness - like a John Cage piece, but it's a person.


• A new social networking site, Fashion Stake, is trying to bring crowdsourcing to the least democratic of media. Says Reuters, "Fashion Stake will allow customers to directly fund fashion designers by browsing on-line collections and buying a stake in a collection in return for credits to buy clothes. Patrons can also share ideas with designers and vote on collections." Either brilliant or doomed!


• We love Garance Dore's dreamy fashion footage: check out her "month in fashion" vid. [Garance Dore via Fashionista]


• In honor of its 50th birthday, Doc Martens has commissioned a digital campaign in which artists like the Stone Roses and Noisette cover classic rock tunes. We were thinking more "The Queen is Dead," but sure!


• The (presumably post-Special K) red dress worn by an actress in a British Special K commercial has elicited so many queries that retailer Marks and Spencer's going to start selling it. And the beachy cotton frock is only £19.50!


• Kelly Osbourne has apparently gotten hooked on fake tan while dancing with the stars. Which is convenient, since she's a face of St. Tropez self-tanner!


• It's Lagerfeld's turn to decorate the iconic Coca-Cola bottle. The kaiser's emblazoned a white Diet Coke with his own silhouette - the svelte version.


• The DNC says that their "Big Fucking Deal" (or, BFD) tees are selling like undignified hotcakes, indeed, "faster than iPads this weekend."


• Speaking of politics! Cast your vote for your favorite American designer in CFDA's "Popular Vote." (Or, y'know, stay out of the whole thing.)
