Joining the flotilla of celebrity fragrances on the market, today both Kimora Lee Simmons and Celine Dion premiered ads for new scents, respectively called Dare Me ($17) and Pure Brilliance ($16). This isn't the first rodeo for either lady — Kimora's now on her fifth perfume, and Celine's launched a whopping eight scents — but they both promise their new entries won't disappoint.

Both fragrances are, as might be expected, fruity florals. Dare Me is a tropical scent with coconut and magnolia notes, while Pure Brilliance has pear, apple, and "green leaves." Both fragrances have honeysuckle floral hearts and woody drydowns. It's interesting to see honeysuckle popping up in drugstore perfume this season, but clearly flowers, warm woods, and fruit are a popular scent combination. Are you intrigued by either, both, or neither?

Enchanting by Celine Dion

Another celebrity, another fragrance.

Another celebrity, another fragrance. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on celebs capitalizing on branding themselves, but I just can not get over the sheer quanity of perfumes out there from singers, actresses and models. The latest launch comes from Celine Dion and it's called Enchanting.

Developed by James Krivda of Givaudan, Enchanting contains a sweet blend of osmanthus, red berries, cyclamen, diamond orchid, gardenia, freesia, mimosa, sandalwood, amber and tonka bean. It is packaged in a tall, multi-faceted glass slender glass bottle and the outer packaging is dark navy with gold floral lattice detail.

The Enchanting product range includes four eau de toilette sprays ($20–$48) and a body lotion ($12). All purchases also come with a promotional CD. (I'm sure that last bit will be joyous news to my father, who—for years—has endured my mother's habit of putting Celine's duet with Barbra Streisand on "repeat" in the CD player.)
