Tamara Mellon, co-founder and president of stiletto mecca Jimmy Choo, is now bringing us another fabulous accessory: perfume.
This latest accessory, following handbags, sunglasses and scarves, has been on the cards since a 12 year worldwide license agreement was signed with Inter Parfums, who also distribute Burberry and Paul Smith perfumes. Tamara features in the ad herself and describes the scent as "feminine and empowering, with a lot of sensuality to it".
The new stylish scent is described as a fruity fusion of green top notes, exotic tiger orchid and orange blossom, with a touch of toffee to add a twist. Sounds gorgeous!
The textured bottle, inspired by Murano glass, is tres pretty but simple and I would even resent throwing away the purple snakeskin box! I'd like the large bottle that she's clutching in the ad please! Unless The Hubby decides to treat me to a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes (unlikely!), I would be very happy with this instead! Much more affordable since prices start from
£38.50.
Rumour has it, Tamara is also intending to expand into jewellery, watches and men's "choo's". This woman has serious ambition! Her shoe and handbag empire is already worth
£500 million, has been made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (whatever that means!) and an ambassador for UK business.
BTW,
loving the Jimmy Choo Uggs:

Way out of my price range - maybe I'll just experiment with a few embellishments on my cheapo ones instead... ;-)
So Hubby - if you're reading this: you have no excuses for not knowing what to get me for Valentine's Day!
