 He’s the man behind the brand with that iconic white Rhino, a New Jersey boy who went on to found one of the most successful hip hop-infused streetwear brand Ecko Clothing.
Marc Ecko turned his clothing brand not only into various sub-brands — like G-Unit, Avirex and his Cut & Sew collection — but into a full-on production company called Marc Ecko Entertainment, Complex Magazine, videogame products, art, philanthropy and now a fragrance line with Parlux, the company behind Paris Hilton, Andy Roddick and Jessica Simpson celebrity scents.

 The first time I laid eyes on Vincent Cassel was during a movie session with my little sister, who picked up the French film “Irreversible”, which he headlined with real-life wife Monica Bellucci.
Cassel is handsome — in an odd, uneven, Gallic way — and I figure it’s his piercing blue eyes that got him signed as YSL Beaute’s newest fragrance face.

 One of the biggest benefits of attending swanky red carpet soirees — that have to do with fashion — is the perk of exiting said soiree with a serious bag of swag.
My Hollywood Life Style Awards goodie cachet came with the usuals like tees, soaps and gift certificates, but surprisingly my favorite swag was a big bottle of Jessica Simpson’s first-ever fragrance, Fancy.

 What do you get when you pair Matisse progeny with Hennessy progeny?
Fifty bottles hand painted by Sophie Matisse for Killan Hennessy perfumes, of course.
Killian Hennessy takes wafts of scent from his family’s famous cognac and mixes it with the wood barrel smell the liquor is stored in to create decadent fragrances for his olfactory line, By Killian.

 The netherlands of one’s dresser drawers get stale over time. Really stale.
Well, I suppose that’s what poor air circulation, stagnant clothes and varnished wood will do.
Nobody is a fan of musty smelling undergarments, especially if they’re of the La Perla, Agent Provocateur or Kiki de Montparnasse variety (heck, or even Victoria’s Secret). This is where drawer liners and sachets come in majorly handy, like Sabon Rose Drawer Liners ($18). Each chic box of Sabon houses three sheets that can be cut to a specific drawer size and come in three olfactory-seducing fragrances: Bamboo, Vanilla and Rose.

 In unlikely beauty collaboration news, American cosmetics brand Avon teamed up with Ironman to launch a signature men’s fragrance collection.
This Ironman fragrance collection — whose tagline is “Anything is Possible” — consists of an eau de toilette spray, after-shave balm and deodorant, all of which will officially debut just before the big Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona in Hawaii this October.

 Estee Lauder is one of those storied cosmetics brands that evokes memories of grandmothers and gold compacts in the same vein.
Of course, the grandmother is chic and and the compact is gilded.
The brand, over years, reached out to newer, younger demographics but still remained luxurious in its successful pursuit — they did, after all, bring on Tom Ford to helm his Tom Ford for Estee Lauder limited-edition collections.

 On the runways of Maison Martin Margiela in Paris, the models wore wigs and stockings that covered their faces. Let’s hope this is NOT a new hair trend for 2009.
The Cindy Lou-esque hairpieces at Christian Dior took a whopping three days for Orlando Pita to make and were so heavy, model Chanel Iman said it “felt like we all got a three-hour face-lift treatment”. Let’s hope this is also NOT a new hair trend for 2009.
