NYLON - May 2008 - (Page 92) ALL THE REEL GIRLS L’EAU YES In my mind, Diptyque can do little wrong. The French company has been quietly producing exquisite candles and fragrances since the early ’60s, and, in the process, has acquired a plethora of famous fans from Catherine Deneuve to P. Diddy. Philosykos, a scrumptious fig, and Baies, an intriguing blend of blackcurrant and Bulgarian rose, have been up until now the stars in Diptyque’s crown. But with the launch of the brand’s first three colognes––their previous fragrances have all been the slightly more concentrated eau de toilettes––those classics can expect some new competition. L’Eau de L’Eau is a sheer, sparkling blend of lemon, ginger, and orange blossom; L’Eau de Neroli a marriage of citrus zests and flowers; and L’Eau des Hesperides a sexy, spicy scent undercut by fresh green notes. And unlike their eau de toilette cousins, the cologne is meant to be splashed on generously, so bottoms up. DIPTYQUE COLOGNES, $145 EACH, AT BARNEY’S NEW YORK. THIS MONTH’S BEST NEW BEAUTY PRODUCTS STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT. BY FIORELLA VALDESOLO. BOULEVARD OF DREAMS What could bring Demi Moore, the sisters Olsen, and Cat Power to the same Santa Monica airplane hangar? Why, Chanel, of course! Because while L.A. may play host to a plethora of red carpet events, it’s rare that haute couture hits the West Coast. So when Karl Lagerfeld descended upon Los Angeles last May to stage his resort collection on an, ahem, actual runway, the celebrities came out in droves to support him. This May, to celebrate the opening of its very first Hollywood boutique, Chanel is launching a quartet of nail colors named after their new address, the Robertson Boulevard Collection––Melrose is a bright Pepto pink, Rodeo Drive a creamy lavender, L.A. Sunrise a canary yellow, and L.A. Sunset a warm orange. Expect fanfare. CHANEL ROBERTSON BOULEVARD NAIL COLOUR COLLECTION, $25 EACH, AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT CHANEL, L.A., AND ON CHANEL.COM. http://CHANEL.COM
