Taylor Swift Is Coming Out With A Second Sparkly Fragrance
Every pop star needs a fragrance. Justin Bieber has one, Adam Levine has one, and Lady Gaga’s is about to hit shelves. Taylor Swift already has one, but she isn’t just any pop star, so naturally, she should have two!
6 Things We Would Like Louis Vuitton’s First Fragrance To Smell Like
We’re not fragrance experts like Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, the guy Louis Vuitton hired to create its very first mass-produced fragrance, but we do like things that smell nice. And because we have that very distinct skill, we would like to give Mr. Cavallier-Belletrud a few pointers on what we as consumers would like the new scent to smell like whenever it reaches Vuitton’s 461 boutiques worldwide.
America’s Next Top Model Is Getting Its Own Fragrance
Just when you thought that maybe America’s Next Top Model was about to stop being a thing, the licensing geniuses at CBS came up with a way for it to stay alive for at least another year or two. This January, Tyra Banks and company will introduce Dreams Come True, ANTM’s first fragrance.

Justin Bieber Is Launching A Perfume For The Ladies
We could sit here and lightly poke fun at Justin Bieber’s new women’s fragrance all morning, and we we’d actually entertained the idea of doing just that. But then we asked ourselves, what would be the point? Bieber’s new scent Someday is destined to be an olfactory business phenomenon the likes of which we’ve never seen before, and there is nothing we can do about it.
GIVEAWAY: Warm Up With A Bottle of Calvin Klein Beauty
Unless you live in another hemisphere (or in the deep South, or the lower half of California, or some fantasy region we have yet to discover) it’s about to get real cold. And one of the ways we here at Styleite intend to remember the glory of springtime is to smell like a bucket full [...]
You’ll Never Guess Where They Used To Make Chanel No. 5
Why is Chanel No. 5 still one of the world’s most important fragrances? Apparently, it’s a Jersey thing.

Kate Walsh’s New Beauty Line Is Inspired By Her Ex-Boyfriend
Breakups suck. But if our breakups went like Kate Walsh‘s, we’d probably be a little more receptive to the idea of ending a relationship. Why? Walsh, of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice fame, was inspired to launch Boyfriend LLC, a company that makes a line of beauty products, after parting ways with a beau five years ago. HSN thinks the products will hit the best-seller lists in no time flat.
Katy Perry Dons A Latex Catsuit (With Tail) For Fragrance Ad
If there’s one thing that can be said about Katy Perry, it’s that she loves kitsch. The shorter, the brighter, the sillier, the tighter: we’re pretty sure that’s her M.O. Which probably explains why we weren’t at all surprised to see that the ad campaign for her new fragrance, Purr, features Perry dressed in a pink and purple latex catsuit, complete with leopard spots and a somewhat creepy plastic tail.
