The Jewel Alfred Sung bottle resembles a sparkling crystal |
CANADA. Riviera Concepts has introduced three new women’s fragrances inspired by three international fashion designers – Jewel Alfred Sung, Cynthia Rowley and Cast a Spell by Lulu Guinness.
Created by Canada’s leading fashion designer Alfred Sung, the bottle for Jewel Alfred Sung was designed in conjunction with bottle specialist Jerome Dinand to resemble a sparkling crystal. No two bottles are exactly the same. The platinum-like spray-through cap is designed to hold the bottle from the bottom, emulating a fine jewellery setting.
The juice contains fresh neroli flower and fruity sparkling pear and blackcurrant in the top note. The floral bouquet comprises jasmine, orange flower and frangipani petals, while the base contains creamy coconut milk, with acacia wood and plum said to impart warmth.
The outer packaging is aquamarine in colour, with accents of platinum and a navy logo.
Said Riviera Concepts President Adrian Ellis: “We are extremely excited to introduce Jewel Alfred Sung and feel confident that Alfred’s customers will embrace his newest offering. It is sophisticated, unique and precious, and the beauty of the bottles is reflected in the beauty of the fragrance.”
Launched in September, the line comprises 30ml parfum spray, retailing at US$95.00, 100ml edp spray at US$64,50ml edp spray US$49.00, 30ml edp spray US$35, 200ml Luxurious Body Lotion US$32.00 and 200ml Luxurious Hand Cream US$20.00.

The first women’s fragrance from acclaimed American fashion designer Cynthia Rowley |
Riviera Concepts has also introduced the first women’s fragrance from US fashion designer Cynthia Rowley.
Launched in Fall 2005, the juice opens with clean, crisp notes of verbena and bergamot with white cyclamen and fruity redcurrant. The top note has a floral heart comprising pink honeysuckle, neroli, muguet and freesia, said to exude a feeling of femininity, while warm undertones of heliotrope, white musk and amber provide sensuality and longevity of wear.
The fragrance is said to evoke Cynthia Rowley’s adventurous, free-spirited designs that appreciate the past. The tall, slim bottle has an iridescent finish over a modern, transparent blue which signifies the open sky. A detailed gold drawing is said to bring vintage flair to the bottle in contrast with a small pink bird taking flight. The cap is inspired by an antique 1920s doorknob, inviting the user to enter Cynthia’s fragrant world, according to Riviera Concepts.
The understated, elegant box incorporates the designer’s passion for art with a feeling of great drawing paper. The sky-blue box features a pink bird and decorative gold framework, and a lime green ribbon wraps the box as a finishing touch.
The line comprises 1fl oz parfum spray, retailing at US$160.00, 3.4fl oz edp spray at US$78.00, 1.7fl oz edp spray US$58.00, 6.8fl oz Flirtatious Body Lotion US$42.00, 6.8fl oz Flirtatious Body Cream US$68.00, and Flirtatious Hand Cream US$28.00.

Cast a Spell by Lulu Guinness is inspired by fairy tales, enchanted forests and magic love potions |
Cast a Spell by Lulu Guinness is inspired by fairy tales such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, enchanted forests, magic love potions, and “the dance between light and dark, cold and warm”, according to Riviera Concepts.
The modern chypre juice is an intoxicating blend of woodland berries, such as dark berries, frosted blackberry pulp, mulberry and redcurrant. The bouquet is iced lavender, lilac petals and davana blossoms, mixed with black velvet fig. Amber, rich bourbon and white patchouli are also incorporated.
The bottle is dramatic, reflected its silver and black colours. A clear, crystal ball-like window is surrounded by a thorns-and-leaves wreath offering a view of a castle. A silver cap crowns the bottle.
The striking box is in the designer’s signature lilac shade, accented with silver lace embossed in an all-over pattern.
The line comprises 1fl oz parfum, retailing at US$160.00, 3.4fl oz edp spray at US$78.00, 1.7fl oz edp spray US$58.00, 1.0fl oz edp spray US$38.00, 6.8fl oz Magic Touch Body Lotion US$42.00, 6.8fl oz Magic Glow Body Cream US$68.00, and 200g Magic Dust Bath Crystals US$32.00.
