Fame Lady Gaga for women
Lady Gaga presents her first fragrance in collaboration with her own The Haus Laboratories Paris and fragrance company Coty. The perfume, called Fame, comes out on the market in Sept 2012.
Fame is composed in an unusual way; the fragrance does not respect the pyramidal structure of the composition, but uses so-called "push-pull technology” by which the ingredients are mixed to highlight different aspects of each fragrant note at the same time, without any hierarchy.
The fragrance is built on three main accords: dark accord, sensual accord and light accord. The dark accord includes poisonous flower Belladonna and incense, which evolve into the sensual and opulent wave of honey drops, saffron and apricot. A floral veil of Sambac jasmine and tiger orchid embody light and beauty.
The liquid of the perfume is also innovative—it is colored in black but becomes invisible when it touches the skin. Just like the fame itself: "It’s black like the soul offame, but invisible once airborne."
The bottle is designed in collaboration with Nick Knight, and advertising campaign is shot by Steven Klein. The fragrance is available as Eau de Parfum.
Main Accords: honey, floral, sweet, fruity, balsamic.
Personal review: Amongst all the mass celeb fragrance market, I find Fame, by far, the weakest and the least attractive composition.
I cannot agree more with several reviewers below, that Fame, if anything smells artificial and sits on the skin in an irate way, so to speak.I wish, at the same time, to highlight my incredibly high tolerance threshold to celebrity fragrances, I never judge them on the celebrity like or dislike merit, as a matter of fact I am an owner of several celebrity creations that proudly sit in my perfume wardrobe.
Fame will never be welcome to join them.
Poor lasting power and hardly noticeable silage being one of the main reasons, the fragrance could successfully be used as an ambience room fragrance as after 15 minutes it is literally gone.
The combination of notes was interesting enough to attract my attention but after several tests at Superdrug, I was disappointed to decide that it simply did not deliver.
The honey note is artificial. The apricot note appears to be over ripen, nauseating.
The incense is irritating my nostrils to the point of me having to scrub it off my skin.
I was incredibly excited to add Fame to my collection.
It turned out to be a massive disappointment.
The only positive I can find about the creation is the bottle. It isn't a unique design, as the idea strongly reminds me of an Alien by Monsieur Mugler but overall the flacon appeals to me visually.
It is hardly a reason to add it to my collection, therefore I say PASS.
