News: Oldies But Goodies

PENHALIGON’S, the English perfume house established in the 1870s, had Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling as fans. Queen Victoria appointed it court perfumer. Winston Churchill counted its Blenheim Bouquet as his favorite fragrance, and Princess Diana adored its Bluebell scent. Mining its vast archives, the company is releasing an Anthology collection of 12 oldies but goodies, including the latest: Eau de Cologne, a faithful recreation of a classic citrus from 1927, and Orange Blossom, a lush honeyed floral inspired by the 1976 original.
Thierry Mugler, 61, launches new book Thierry Mugler: Galaxie Glamour, and new perfume Womanity, with Clarins. He is also launching a new look with fresh surgery and tattoos. Mr Mugler says: “I am suing them (Clarins) because of that book. They wanted to do a book and I disagreed. Why should we do a book now and open the door to our archives and show even more things so that people can rip us off? I don’t see the point.”
