BOP News - Blog on Perfume News

Boutique Perfumes has recently developed a new look for its perfume site which sells many perfumes and fragrances including Annick Goutal and Serge Lutens. The site has now developed a more modern feel and look with ease of navigation and product discovery.

Boutique Perfumes has also introduced a sister-site Boutique Perfumes News, which is making an impact on the perfume scene with its information database of perfumes.

We currently live in an age largely dominated by fashion and lifestyle. These are in turn largely dominated by celebrities. Celebrities are, well, dominated by nothing or no one.

So naturally, we want to look like celebrities. We want to wear like celebrities, speak like celebrities, act like celebrities, etc.

But what about SMELL?

Believe it or not, I do find that it is a factor of celebrity-appeal that is hardly ever mentioned when it could be. Of course, in the past, perfumes were always appreciated according to just how good they smelt, how attractive they were, and how generally up-market they appeared. It has, however, now become something of a custom for the younger generations to follow perfumes which do not bear the name of their perfumer - but bear the name of a celebrity. Examples of celebs who have released perfumes include Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and of course, David and Victoria Beckham.

In fact, sales of celebrity perfumes have gone up 2′000 percent since 2004, confirming that we are currently in an age of celebrity perfume popularity.
