Sharing this interview because I've always loved Dita von Teese's approach to glamour and this one is all about perfume, beauty and a little bit about lingerie. In this case, it's the shame that the interviewer seems to know very little about vintage perfumes or for whatever reason, chooses not to delve into them, so she is unable to really delve deeply on the topic with von Teese or direct the interview in an organic way. However, we still get to hear a more detailed backstory of von Teese's own fragrances and I loved all the retro references. I also appreciated the interview because von Teese is usually bombarded with the same five questions over and over (Dita, how do you seduce a man?). Interviewers rarely seem to conduct any research or think to tap into her depth of knowledge when it comes to the history of glamour and American culture. I don't know how she manages to respond to these superficial questions with such grace as if she's answering them for the first time.
If you enjoyed this interview, I also reviewed Erotique and her lingerie pieces.

Barbra Streisand, born the daughter of a soprano who failed to follow her dreams of becoming a star, and a high school teacher, first started showing her immense talent at age thirteen. Known on her block as “the girl with the good voice”, it was her biggest dream to be an actress. After years at singing at clubs (she famously entered a competition at The Lion, a gay nightclub in Greenwich village) and acting on Broadway, Streisand’s first film would be an adaption of one of the plays she starred in--”Funny Girl”. It was a success, and thus began the career of this legend.
Barbra’s preferred scent is Vol de Nuit by Guerlain--a fragrance that first debuted in 1933. It is an ethereal and delicate perfume, woodsy and green and very narcissus forward.
Vol de Nuit has top notes of Galbanum, Narcissus, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Lemon, Orange and Mandarin Orange.
Middle notes are Iris, Narcissus, Aldehydes, Vanilla, Violet, Indonesian Carnation, Rose and Jasmine.
The base notes are Oak Moss, Orris Root, Sandalwood, Spices and Musk.

Rihanna's Fenty came as a bit of a surprize to me. I'm not at all a fan of celebrity culture but I found Fenty to be a cut above the average celebuscent. Granted, at CA$185/75ml, it's also a fair bit more expensive than most celebuscents - but still more affordable than the luxury tier. Notably, the nose for Fenty is Jacques Cavallier, the Maître Parfumeur at Louis Vuitton whose past hits include L'Eau d'Issey, Classique (Gaultier), Noir de Noir (Ford), and a number of the Replicas (Margiela).
Fenty is fairly linear, so this opening of a candied, fruity floral rose with a hit of juicy tangerine, patchouli base and clean musks is pretty much what you'll get through the entire wear. However, this is not the saccharine, cliched fruity floral that one might expect. The sultry musk and depth of patchouli tempers the sweetness of the scent a great deal - there are no edges to take off. As well, the drydown does not degrade into a mess of suffocating laundry musks like so many designer scents do these days.
Fenty isn't a particularly daring wear, and despite the musk, it still skews young in my opinion. However, it's not harsh and brash like a lot of offerings I'm coming across these days that are being marketed to the same consumer segment. In terms of quality, it is better than a lot of what you'll find out there being released through more prestigious designer and niche houses. A surprizingly solid offering from Fenty that's worth testing if you are a fan of the genre.
