Back in April, Jennifer Aniston released the first ad for her new perfume, Lolavie, which in Aniston-speak means “laughing at life”. The first ad image was a bit disconnected from this “I’m laughing, y’all” message, as it featured Aniston wrapped in a towel , sitting on some rocks, looking all alone and sad. Sure, it was a striking image, but there was a disconnect (commenter Sigh theorized, “This what happens when you are even slightly ‘Butlered (If you survive).’ You wake up the next day, half-dressed, shivering, sore, and washed up on the shore of nowhere…note the “WTF?” expression and all.
I shall name this pic ‘The Morning After: Cautionary Tale.’”) So I don’t know if Aniston decided to do away with the first image or if this is an extension of the previous campaign, but there are new (blurry) images from the Lolavie campaign that feature Aniston topless. She looks good… but this looks like every other magazine photo shoot she does, right? It looks like her GQ shoots, her Vanity Fair shoot, etc. Ooh, she’s going to be launching Lolavie this week too!
Jennifer Aniston will be in Harrods this week to launch her new fragrance exclusively at the department store. The Friends star will be signing bottles of her first fragrance, which has the title ‘The Debut Fragrance by Jennifer Aniston’, in Harrods’ Georgian Restaurant from 1-2pm this Wed 21 July.
Jennifer has worked closely with Falic Fashion Group (yes, we had a giggle about that too) to create a signature fragrance that is unique to her.
“I wanted this fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. For example, my love of night-blooming jasmine has lasted a lifetime. Growing up in California, I distinctly remember the scent of jasmine on summer evenings,” says Jennifer.
As well as the US, Jennifer took inspiration from childhood holidays to Greece and days at the beach. “No aroma is quite so…exhilarating. The combination of the salty air and tropical oils reminds me of long sunny days on the beach – pure happiness,” she adds.
The floral fragrance which includes rose, wild violet and Amazon lily dries down to a woody aroma of musk, golden amber and sandalwood. Jennifer took inspiration from the distinct smell of wood fires at friends’ houses on summer evenings as an inspiration for the base notes.
Jen also wanted the bottle to reflect her personality. Her love of architecture (she graced the March 2010 cover of Architectural Digest) was inspiration for the bottle; it references the flow of a Frank Gehry building combined with the fluidity and organic form of a cresting wave.
Jennifer Aniston’s debut fragrance is exclusive to Harrods and harrods.com and will be available in three sizes 30ml £23, 50ml £29 and 85ml £36.
Purchase is necessary to receive Jennifer’s signature and queues will open from 10am on Wednesday.

So it has notes of “rose, wild violet and Amazon lily” and “musk, golden amber and sandalwood”. Jeez, that sounds like a really, really heavy scent. The musk and sandalwood alone is enough for me to pass on this one. As far as Jennifer’s “love of architecture” and the interesting timing of her big perfume launch… well… it’s all very interesting, and let’s leave it at that.
