Repetto is the latest footwear brand to venture into the realm of fragrance, following in the footsteps of Jimmy Choo and Nine West.

Launched in 1947, the French ballet shoe company’s signature ballerina pumps have become eponymous with Parisian chic across the globe, and its more recent developments into handbags and high-end accessories have proven successful.

As the label continues to expand with 22 new stores set to open internationally in 2012, a partnership with fragrance company Inter Parfums, whose other perfume licenses include Burberry, Van Cleef & Arpels and Paul Smith, has been announced.

Model Chanel Iman unveiled what has been dubbed the world’s first million-dollar fragrance bottle in New York on December 5.

The 21-year-old was accompanied by bodyguards to present a specially designed version of the latest fragrance Golden Delicious at DKNY’s New York flagship store.

Inspired by the New York skyline and designed by jeweler Martin Katz, the bottle is adorned with 2,909 rare jewels from across the globe, including 2,700 white diamonds, 183 yellow sapphires and a 2.43-carat yellow canary diamond.

Dolce & Gabbana have launched the Velvet Collection, a series of six haute parfumerie scents, each inspired by various parts of Italy.

The scents are a masterful mix of amber, citrus, floral, woody and spiced essences which recreate the Mediterranean mood.

The names of the fragrances are: Velvet Vetiver, Velvet Patchouli, Velvet Wood, Velvet Desire, Velvet Sublime and Velvet Love.

Emily Blunt is starring in Yves Saint Laurent’s F/W campaign, shot by Patrick Demarchelier, for the fashion house’s iconic Opium fragrance.

Blunt, who follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Sophie Dahl, will “unveil a fiery, almost reckless woman with magnetic seduction, that nobody or nothing can resist.”

The star said that she found it “really exciting to embody a fragrance which has stood the test of time without its allure ever being diminished.”

La Colección by Loewe is “an exquisite collection of four fragrances created to reflect the elegant luxury of the house of Loewe”.

The scents are named Loewe 1, 2, 3, 4 and were composed by perfumer Emilio Valeros. The new range is exclusive to Harrods for six months.

Model and actress Elisa Sednaoui will be the face of Roberto Cavalli‘s signature fragrance, which will be released in early 2012.

“Elisa is self-confident and she has an amazing personality. She has got this animal side, she is enthusiastic, really sexy with a stunning body and hypnotic eyes.”

“She is the woman every woman would like to be, so she is the real Cavalli woman,” the designer said of his house’s new spokesmodel.
