The successful results of the cooperation between designer Christian Lacroix and cosmetics company Avon, where the designer managed to find his place on the mass-market and the house enriched its offer with a prestigious name, are reflected in fragrances Rouge and Noir from 2007 and Absynthe and Absynthe for Him from 2009. The same team throws a new edition in Autumn 2011 in the form of a women's fragrance named Nuit.
Christian Lacroix Nuit is described as an intoxicating and mysterious forbidden fragrance fantasy that awakens passions and excites the senses. The composition is rich oriental– floral opening with fresh notes of bergamot, neroli and honeysuckle. Sensual flowers of jasmine, tuberose and narcissus are located in the heart of the perfume, supported by the luxurious base of amber, incense, musk and woody notes.

The Black Eyed Peas singer is releasing her debut fragrance Outspoken - developed with cosmetic firm Avon - in September and said the name was of prime importance as it had to reflect her attitude as well as being original.
Fergie - real name Stacey Ferguson - told WWD: "I didn't want to call it Duchess, or Glamorous, or Fergalicious, or something that I've already done.
"strong and empowering but not cutesy""I didn't want it to be so cutesy. I wanted it to be strong and empowering, something that represents me as a whole woman, a fearless woman.
The scent mixes notes of starfruit, tuberose, jasmine, and passion flower with base notes like black leather and smoky vetiver, and has already won over one person, Fergie's husband, actor Josh Duhamel.
He said: "I didn't like what she was wearing before, but I never told her. But this is good. It just works with my nose, I think."
Outspoken by Fergie will be launched in September in the US and sell at $28 a bottle.
