Lady Gaga Fame Perfume: What Does It Smell Like? Why Release Photos Early?
June 15, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Samples of Lady Gaga’s Fame perfume are being sent to beauty editors along with embargoed product information. One of those editors, Lisa Tant, from Canada’s Flare Magazine, leaked a grainy, unflattering photo of the bottle on Twitter after which the tweet was deleted. But it had already spread. Soon after, Gaga released slightly better but still grainy Instagram photos of her own bottle (you can see her cell phone in the reflection) in reaction to Tant with the caption: ”Looks like photos of my perfume are being leaked. Oh fashion editors I could just crinkle my hands at you!”
The bottle is clear, and through it you can see the liquid made with “black water technology” that sprays clear.
In January, Gaga suggested this would smell like blood and semen. She posted another tweet Wednesday showing the ingredients on the back of the box: “Here’s what it smells like!” listing “tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea, a black veil of incense, the combinative essences of saffron and honeydrops, pulverized apricots.”
And today Gaga’s people have released an official promotional photo and information about this “fantastic innovation of patent-pending fluid technology… Lady Gaga Fame is the first ever black eau de parfum that sprays clear and becomes invisible once airborne.”
The innovations in Lady Gaga Fame go beyond the black-to-clear fluid: The olfactory structure itself is also very rare for the fragrance industry.
Traditionally, perfumes have a pyramidal structure; a hierarchy of sorts with top, middle and base notes. This fragrance, on the other hand, has a unique structure called the “push-pull” technology, where the ingredients interact together to highlight different olfactive aspects of each note at the same time, without any hierarchy. All of the notes were crated [sic] to work together harmoniously thanks to the complimentary properties of each ingredient, which allow for a true metamorphosis of the scent when worn on skin.
The scent is built around three main accords: dark, sensual, and light. The dark accord was inspired by Belladonna, the deadly nightshade possessed by haunted beauties since the 18th century. From this darkness, the fragrance evolves to a sensual accord of opulence, a fusion of dripping honey, saffron, and apricot nectar.
And, lastly, the light accord whispers magnificence. The rich floral layer of crushed tiger orchid & jasmine sambac embodies timeless beauty. The accords work together to create a fragrance of floral and fruity elements, with the star ingredient inspired by Belladonna leveling out the whole fragrance and giving Lady Gaga Fame its signature as a scent. – via Lady Gaga’s Official Site.
