AERIN: ROSE DE GRASSE D’OR
Aerin Lauder has announced the launch of Aerin Rose de Grasse d’Or, a luxurious successor of her Rose de Grasse fragrance which opened the exclusive Premier Collection in 2015. The new Rose de Grasse d’Or will only follow the general Grasse rose direction of its predecessor, but will be a completely new perfume, as we were reassured by the Estee Lauder company.
According to Allure, the fragrance be exclusively sold in Saks Fifth Avenue, New York City. The magazine is calling upon their readers to start saving for the luxurious bottle (even if the notes do not seem appealing); the sale starts in June-July of 2017 and will be limited.
Rose de Grasse d’Or, in “a jacket of gold”, is the first super-luxurious fragrance offer from Aerin, although the previous Rose de Grasse was already much more expensive than the rest in the line.
Aerin Lauder started her cosmetic & fragrance brand under her own name and the Estee Lauder umbrella in 2012. Aerin perfumes feature engaging classic fragrant themes, mostly floral, with suggestive names and in a winsome design. Most fragrances of the house have a matching bath & body line and a roller ball mini version.

PERSONAL SHOPPER: FILM
It’s the film on everyone’s lips at the moment. Psychological thriller Personal Shopper – starring Kristen Stewart as a twenty-something American in Paris working as a (you guessed it) personal shopper trying to uncover ghostly secrets – hits cinemas this week. Here are five things to know about the fashion spine-chiller before you see it.
The film was inspired by Kristen Stewart and constructed around her, with the actress evolving her own role. She is in almost every scene and mostly appears by herself. It also might just be her best performance to date.
It is based in the Parisian underground of the fashion world. Director and screenwriter Olivier Assayas – who won the award for Best Director at Cannes Film Festival last year – has said that he has always had an ambivalent relationship with the industry. His interest in it started young – his mother was a designer when he was a child, most notably for Hermès.
Scenes from the film were shot in the press room of Chanel, as well as in the Louboutin and Cartier stores in Paris, to make it as realistic as possible.
Karl Lagerfeld is said to be a fan of Assayas’s films, which is why he allowed for it to be filmed in the prestigious press rooms of the French fashion house.
Unsurprisingly for a film about fashion, there are some notable costume choices. One of Stewart’s standout ensembles is a white silk and silver embroidered Chanel dress from the pre autumn | winter 2014 collection.
