Duff's With Love

PopSugar — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 11:56:56 -0800

Hilary Duff is going undercover in her new perfume ad. The ad is great since it's like watching a music video but we wish she would just appear as the beautiful long-haired brunette girl instead of going for the short black wig look. We kinda don't get it - you're much sexier the way you are Hil. Overall, at least it's better than those perfume commercials with puppies and fields of flowers.

Hilary Is Sassy and Scented in Sydney

PopSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 08:28:00 -0800

Hilary Duff spent her weekend entertaining her Australian fans with her new perfume and a performance. On Saturday she greeted fans and signed autographs to show off her new perfume, Wrapped With Love. Celebrities are loving their trademark fragrances these days, and it sounds like Hilary's newest creation is a good reflection of the starlet's girl-next-door image. She said, "I don't want to eat it, but it's very yummy. It totally reminds me of summer time. It is very sweet." Later that night, Hil heated things up a bit in her super short number at her concert at the Acer Arena. The pop star is definitely getting more in touch with her sexy side lately, but we have a feeling that Hilary is still just a good girl at heart.

With Love, From Hilary Duff

PopSugar — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:10:35 -0700

Another week, another celeb is dropping their scent. Hilary Duff has partnered with Elizabeth Arden who are the same folks who brought us the many successful Britney perfumes. Ms Duff's perfume, called With Love, will be in department stores in September. She spoke to Jane about developing the perfume. Here's more:

I wanted this scent to be different but still appeal to a lot of people. Moms and daughters can both wear it.
I made sure I was involved in the entire process. The head perfumers gave me a lot of freedom to take risks with the notes. Like cocobolo wood and mangosteen fruit--those are very unusual ingredients.
We went through 115 changes to get to the final fragrance. It's a layered fragrance and it develops on your skin.
On the bottle, "I wanted it to be antiquey. It was inspired by one of my favorite vintage rings. The outer carton is light blue with gold scroll, so it looks like a beautiful present waiting to be opened."

Hilary's Dignity, Coming Soon

Molly — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 08:25:04 -0800

Hilary Duff (you know, the sweet starlet) recently celebrated her newly-singleness and newly-released single by hitting the town and speaking loudly about female anatomy (while thankfully not flashing hers, she has standards, people). Ironically, the same week that Duff showed the slightest bit of undignified behavior, she's out promoting her upcoming album titled, wait for it, Dignity. Here's more:

Duff was on the KIIS-FM program to debut the song "With Love" from her upcoming record, Dignity. She said the title for the record came from her experience living the showbiz life.

"I feel like dignity is something that you can't just have, you know, you have to work on having," she said. "And I feel like I have it a little. ... The album is so personal and talks about so many experiences I've had – good ones and bad ones – and (dignity) is something I always hope to have and strive to have."

Dignity hits stores April 3rd, and you may remember the sneak peek of the single from when we wrote about it debuting as part of her With Love perfume commercial. For bigger versions of Hilary hitting Hyde just read more

Hilary Duff's Girly Sisterly Saturday

Molly — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:30:16 -0800

Hilary Duff steered clear of all the Grammy madness in LA this weekend, instead just taking it easy with her sister. Somehow Hilary always seems to wear things that would look trashy on anyone else, but seem to work okay on the starlet. With all the traveling around the world showing off her perfume and performing, I can't blame Hilary for wanting to skip out on a red carpet or ten. Maybe she'll even find some time to get back in the front row at the rink to watch her boy play.

Inside the World of Celebrity Scents

BellaSugar — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:00:07 -0700

Eighty-four percent of you say you're sick of celebrity fragrances, but you must be anomalies-because celeb perfumes are selling like crazy. Some of the interesting bits from the story:

There's big bucks in this business. Euromonitor International, a Chicago-based market research firm, reports that worldwide sales of the top seven celebrity scent lines-just the top seven!-totaled $353.6 million last year.
Diddy's sitting pretty. A lot of you find his Unforgivable ads cheesy, but the scent is doing just fine. Last year, it did $74.9 million in sales.
Inside the contract: Fragrance companies such as Coty and Elizabeth Arden produce and develop the fragrance, then the star's name goes on the bottle. Contract details are kept private, but the industry standard is to give the celeb 5–10% of sales, with a possible signing bonus.
Jennifer Lopez has made many cents out of scents. Forbes writes: "In 2006, Lopez's net worth was about $110 million, according to Forbes' list of the 20 richest women in entertainment-but her last CD was a flop, as were her last several movies. Sales of her fragrances, including Glow and Live Luxe, totaled $77 million in 2006."

What I'd really like to know-and what the story doesn't reveal, unfortunately-is the extent to which celebrities are involved in creating their scents. I've heard that Hilary Duff had a lot of input and feedback on hers, and I can see Gwen Stefani knowing what she wanted for L. Somehow, though, I'm not convinced that Britney Spears was actively involved in making Believe-at least, not with all of her personal drama this year.
