Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue

Andy Warhol Lexington Ave
$195 for 100 ml, $135 for 50 ml

Did you know that a pre-pop art Andy Warhol apartment-hopped along Lexington Avenue in New York designing ultra-imaginative shoes, including buttoned boots and exclamation point pumps (that I can totally see stomping down a Marc Jacobs runway)? In honor of the 80th anniversary of the artist's birth, Bond No. 9 released the third fragrance in the Warhol series, Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue, that dares to "link two of the most ultra-feminine commodities a woman can own: fragrance and footwear."

Like many of the women Warhol surrounded himself, Lexington Avenue screams independence and confidence, with a strong sex appeal. It's bold huskiness has a masculine feel but an elegance remains, giving you the essence of a woman.

Add a dab of this with some Edie Sedgwick-inspired duds and just wait for admirers to ask to snap your picture! Either that, or ask you who you are for Halloween. :)

And speaking of the upcoming holidays, limited edition bottles are to feature four Robert Lee Morris sterling silver shoe pendants of original Warhol shoe designs on a sterling silver chain.

Erykah for Tom Ford's White Patchouli

I'm in love! The newly knocked up Erykah Badu looks absolutely amazing in black and white for Tom Ford's new fragrance, White Patchouli. Isn't it oh so appropriate that Mr. Ford hired our favorite neo-soul eccentric for a patchouli based scent?

Says Ford: “For this project, I wanted to reinvent patchouli, (…) I loved the idea of mixing patchouli with white florals. We used patchouli orpur, which takes out some of the darker, smoky notes of patchouli. We mixed that with peony, bergamot, and jasmine. Additional notes include rose, coriander, and ambrette seed.”

All that is well and good but let's get to the point of this post. Erykah is serving up some Diana Ross-esque glamour here! Bone structure for days. She's radiant! Work for that money, b*tch!

The next set of photos are slated to be released in September in lifestyle mags like US Mag, to coincide with the release of the fragrance. Can't wait!

It's Friday, you aint got sh*t to do...

...so Elle's gonna get you high today! Fresh's Cannabis Rose, an intelligent marriage of rose notes and the essence of dried marijuana leaves, will have you floating on a cloud of fragrance. According to The New York Times' T Magazine, "The resulting perfume is insanely good, essentially perfect on every level: a darkly mesmerizing scent, technically excellent and beautifully structured. Glazman has taken rose, viscerally reinvented it and aimed it at the reptilian brain."

A feminine, floral version of Fresh's uber-popular Cannabis Santal, Cannabis Rose bravely combines Bulgarian rose, pomegranate flower, bergamot, cannabis accord, sheer jasmine, dark chocolate, white musk, patchouli and oolong tea to make a truly complex fragrance that is sure to intrigue.

Cannabis Rose was developed by perfumer Jerome Epinette and is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum ($75), 300 ml Bath and Shower Gel ($28) and 200 g Body Cream ($65).

Feel free to inhale.
