Ooh la la! Jennifer Aniston goes topless in ads for her new Lolavie fragrance


Jennifer Aniston has turned up the heat for the debut of her new fragrance.

In a series of sexy black-and-white shots to promote her new scent, Lolavie, the 41-year-old actress looks stunning as she poses topless, covering her chest with just her arms while wearing nothing but a white skirt hung low on her hips.

Aniston is slated to attend the launch event for Lolavie, which roughly translates to "laughing at life" in French, on Wednesday at Harrods department store in London. She will be on hand to sign the bottles for customers, London's Daily Mail reported.

"It's been a year-and-a-half journey," Aniston previously told WWD. "I'd been asked to do things before, and it never felt organic. But when Leon [Falic, president of the Falic Fashion Group] approached me to be involved with the process from inception to fruition, I thought, 'This could be a creative expression.'"

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

Aniston also had a hand in how to promote the product: The steamy ad campaign was reportedly shot in her favorite vacation destination in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Wanting the fragrance "to be a personal library of scent memories," Aniston came up with a smell that she called "sexy and clean … floral but not too flowery."

"I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan," she explained. "I want people to go 'what is that? You smell great!' But most of all, I wanted it to smell natural."

About fragrant beginnings


This article might be very boring lol i couldn't find an interesting one that i haven't already done.. i was also looking for an article on scents maybe which are the most popular/ which scents attract certain ppl, maybe i will have more luck next week.

Visualise this. As the sunlight filters through the windows, the fragrance of incense sticks wafts through the living room. Many people would vouch that this is one of the best ways of beginning the day. Incense sticks are a common motif in several religions across the world. To that extent, incense sticks have religious-aesthetic connotations in many cultures.


Fragrant incenses are made by blending several solid scented ingredients into a paste and then rolling that paste onto a bamboo core stick. These incenses usually contain little liquid scents. Charcoal incense is made by dipping an unscented “blank” into a mixture of perfumes and essential oils.

Tibetan incenses are thought to have medicinal properties.

Their recipes come from ancient Vedic texts that are based on Ayurvedic medical texts. The recipes have remained unchanged for centuries.

Throughout history, various materials have been used in making incense. If sage and cedar were used abroad to make these incense sticks, sandalwood is the most popular among all the flavoured incense sticks in India. It one of the most calming incense ingredients and lends itself to meditation.

Incense sticks are believed to be as old as mankind, which find mention in the Old Testament and New Testament. Frankincense was one of the gifts that the three wise men gave when Jesus was born. Ingredients like myrrh, jasmine, bamboo sticks and sandalwood used to make incense sticks were found in abundance in India.

Sanskrit texts mention agarbattis offered during meditation.

The concept extended to places like Egypt, Japan and China. Monks believed it frees them of negative energy. Once Buddhism became popular in Japan, the demand increased.

Sandalwood, rose, jasmine, cedar, amber, frankincense and myrrh are among the aromas which give spiritual fragrance to agarbattis. At a glance, lavender has a calming effect, sandalwood helps fighting depression, rose radiates energy of love and myrrh uplifts emotions.

In terms of practical usage, incense sticks help in getting rid of odours. Probably that’s why they are used in funerary ceremonies because incense could smother the scent of decay. Incense made from materials like citronella can repel mosquitoes.

Today, manufacturing incense sticks has become a handicraft industry.

Bruce Willis Fragrance to Hit Stores Today


I know you’ve all penned this day in your calendars, I know I’ve been waiting for this day a long time: Today, LR Health & Beauty Systems is debuting squinty tough guy Bruce Willis‘ “signature collection,” which he created in partnership with the German beauty company.

“I personally feel that the new Bruce Willis fragrance is the manliest scent in the world,” said Tilo Plöger, chief operating officer of LR Health & Beauty Systems. The Willis scent reportedly contains notes of grapefruit, pepper, and vetiver.


First announced in April, the collection includes hair and body wash, deodorant, aftershave balm, and eau de parfum–which clocks in at ~15% aromatic compounds compared to eau de cologne’s ~5%–since naturally, badasses need to smell strongly of badasses.

According to United Networker, Bruce Willis told reporters at the press conference in Frankfurt “with great enthusiasm” that “the development of my new fragrance together with the very committed and passionate LR team was really a lot of fun. The products stand for individuality, uniqueness and sustainability. That’s what convinced me, and what unites me with LR.”

The design of the perfume bottle, in the classy yet intrepid, indomitable, macho, rugged style expected of Willis, incorporates a huge metal badge which adorns “the exceptionally high-quality glass flacon,” which apparently is “heavy in the hand,” because John McClane would never use lightweight perfume bottles, damn it! And of course, the packaging mimics “brushed aluminium and embossed riveting
