Eva Longoria Parker, the actress and L’Oreal Paris front woman, has delved deeper into beauty with a signature women’s scent, called Eva by Eva Longoria.

The eau de parfum, which was developed by Falic Fashion Group, is due to launch in the U.S. in spring.

“I have always been somewhat allergic to all perfumes and really wanted to create something that every woman could wear,” said Longoria Parker. “So I decided to create my own fragrance that is light, fresh and unique. I think the scent of a woman is extremely sexy and this scent will prove that.”

The scent was composed by Takasago and features top notes of citrus, neroli, bergamot tea and aldehydes. The heart of the fragrance includes sheer jasmine, muguet, violet and freesia, and the scent dries down into notes of skin musk, amber and sandalwood. The bottle, intended to resemble a feminine silhouette, was designed by Wilhelm Liden at Paul Meyers & Friends and manufactured by Bormioli Luigi.  [Click here to read full story]

New Lancôme Spokeswoman: Julia Roberts

According to WWD.com, Julia Roberts, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, has been tapped as the “global ambassadress” for Lancôme.

“By her remarkable personality and career, Julia Roberts is an emblematic woman of her time,” said Youcef Nabi, president of Lancôme International. “Her exceptional talent, her radiance and her strong commitments perfectly echo Lancôme’s values. We are convinced she will embody the brand in the most sublime way possible.”

Lancôme executives declined to give further details on the relationship between Roberts and the brand, including the amount the actress is being paid to sell the products, the length of her contract and specific duties, saying more would be revealed early next year.

Roberts is the latest in a string of Hollywood A-listers entering the beauty realm — and one of the industry’s biggest “gets” in years. Demi Moore was signed to a similar deal with Lancôme sister brand Helena Rubinstein, as the face of its Wanted fragrance, earlier this year.
