You have to be Beautiful!

Lynx is launching the Lynx effect to women as well.
Lynx reveals for the first time in its history its latest fragrance, Lynx Attract that will be available both ‘For Him’ and ‘For Her’.

The TV advert for Lynx Attract For Him and For Her, which breaks in the UK on 1st February, sees guys and girls who are wearing the fragrance causing chaos and accidents in a series of situations because they’re so intensely attracted to each other.

There are concerns that the New Lynx Attract fragrances are packed with such irresistible scents that men and women throughout the UK will not be able to keep their hands off each other. The scents are reportedly so seductive they will bring the opposite sexes together creating chaos in everyday life.

Kieran Danaher, Lynx Brand Manager at Unilever UK, said: “This is a historic moment for Lynx as a brand. For the first time in our 27 year history we are launching a male and female fragrance at the same time. Lynx Attract will unleash the full power of the ‘Lynx Effect’ for both sexes and make the mating game doubly exciting.”

Following the phenomenal success of recent fragrances launched, including Lynx Excite and Lynx 2012 The Final Edition, Danaher believes Lynx Attract can really take things to the next level.

“As a brand we’re aiming to push boundaries with creative marketing campaigns this year, and the launch of Lynx Attract is set to do just that and more. With both these scents being so seductive we’re warning guys and girls about the potential chaos in everyday life.”

The mating game has just evolved. Nothing will ever be the same again.

THE CONTEMPORARY EAU DE COLOGNE
The THIRDMAN Contemporary Eau de Cologne fragrance line translates the long standing tradition of scented waters, or Eaux de Cologne, for today: modern formulae with the highest grade of natural essences stored in large bottles and meant to be splashed on liberally, reintroducing a long lost gesture in Fine Fragrance. Both for man and woman, the scents by THIRDMAN, are uncommon and indispensable.

THIRDMAN
THIRDMANs identity is less important than the scents and the new olfactory sensations he spearheads. He is the ghostwriter of a new generation of scents. In an environment crowded with names and brand, THIRDMAN wants to put back the focus on the quality and inventiveness inside the bottle. He creates scents that will become part of the personal journey of the individuals who wear them.

INSPIRATION
The house of THIRDMAN is founded on a clear principle: to reintroduce the original purpose of a scent. THIRDMAN is inspired by the long standing European tradition and craft of the eau de cologne reimagined for today. Beginning in the 18th century, scented waters made with botanical extracts were used primarily for their beneficial tonic-like qualities. These later evolved into the classic eaux which were stored in large bottles and meant to be splashed on liberally.

Refreshing and invigorating, their generous application was as gratifying as their scent. They became an essential part of a daily regimen. THIRDMAN translates their bygone splendor into modern high-end perfumery by designing the indispensable eau de cologne for today.

A wedding day is the most special day of any girl’s life but perhaps even more so when it is being watched by billions of people, so we’re expecting ultimate polished perfection on the big day. While we all rush to get our hats ready for this year’s royal wedding, we wonder what perfumes the perfect pair will be wearing on their big day?

Smell is also the strongest trigger of memory so the royal couples’ choice of fragrance will always transport them back to the day when they took their wedding vows.

In traditional, and we admit a little bit cheesy fashion, we’d love nothing more than Kate and Wills to embrace their inner King and Queen and wear a scent equally as regal as their titles. What could be better than Kate dowsing herself in Vera Wang’s Glam Princess and Wills taking a spritz of Sean John’s I am King? Yes, a little unlikely but it really would make our day!

The couple has been together for eight years now so the royal pairing hasn’t come as too much of a shock. So with such long lasting love we predict a perfume that screams forever. What can be more everlasting than Calvin Klein Eternity for him and her? Both classic and lusciously light, the freshly cut grass and flower infused notes make it the perfect perfume for a summer wedding.

Always one to have her finger on the style pulse, Kate has become an English style icon in the making. Perfectly polished and effortlessly chic Kate is certainly following in Diana’s footsteps. To complement this style on trend scents such as Sheer Stella or Bvlgari Man are the perfect wedding his and hers. Sheer Stella oozes femininity against the clean-cut masculinity of Bvlgari Man, these contrasting scents would perfectly complement the couple’s couture.

Not only has Kate snagged a vintage sparkler with Diana’s sapphire engagement ring but there are talks of vintage gown and crown in the pipeline… so what scents would suit the outfits from a bygone era? Belle D’opium by YSL is the brand new updated version of the Opium classic making it the best way to add a vintage aroma with a modern twist to the bride. Or if they wanted to be in perfect harmony, they could both wear Emporio Armani Diamonds for him and her… if diamonds really are a girl’s best friend, then what better fragrance for these best friends to wear together?

Whatever perfumes Kate and Wills choose to make their summer wedding ‘Scentsational’, The Perfume Shop wishes them the best of luck. If you’re stuck on what to wear for your wedding, visit your nearest store for some expert advice on how to tailor your perfume to suit your special day.

DM Products has formed a new subsidiary for the purpose of creating, manufacturing, distributing and selling prestige fragrances and beauty related products. This newly established division will be led by one of the premier fragrance designers/perfumers in the industry today and backed by a team of highly qualified and experienced individuals.

We were presented with an opportunity to aggressively compete in the highly profitable fragrance and perfume industry and viewed it as one the company needed to actively pursue. Said Kurt Cockrum, President and Chairman of DM Products, Inc.

After a significant period of market research, and meeting with top level personnel willing to join with us, we are excited to make this announcement. We will be releasing information concerning the management team being formed to run the personal care division in the very near future. I am sure our shareholders will be impressed with the credentials surrounding the individuals we have selected. Cockrum added. This fits in perfectly with our vision of expansion and diversification.

The perfume industrys annual sales are estimated to be between $25 billion and $30 billion. The United States alone represents approximately 33% of that market. The personal care products industry appears to be as recession proof as we can hope for. This addition will help to ensure shareholder confidence. With the high profile and proven experience of our new management, we fully expect to be a significant player in a relatively short period of time.

DM Products, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Direct Success, Inc., currently develops, finances, produces, markets, and distributes unique and innovative health, beauty, fashion, fitness and other products for sale through infomercial marketing and distribution channels. The company intends to expand its operations to include the newly formed personal care division, which will be operated through another subsidiary.
