Introducing Christian Lacroix  the new men’s fragrance created exclusively for Avon.

Captivating. Provocative. Unforgettable. These are the marks of one of the world’s most renowned fashion designer, Christian Lacroix. They are also the defining characteristics of Christian Lacroix Noir, the highly anticipated men’s fragrance created exclusively for Avon available in June 2008.

Christian Lacroix.

Christian Lacroix Noir is the masculine counterpart to Christian Lacroix Rouge, the first fragrance introduced by Mr. Lacroix and Avon. Like Christian Lacroix Rouge, Christian Lacroix Noir captures Mr. Lacroix’s unique and celebrated haute design tradition, a long time favorite among the world’s most famously stylish men. Christian Lacroix Noir offers men everywhere the opportunity to add the sophistication and mystique of Mr. Lacroix’s style to their lives every day, with the simple spray of a fragrance.

“In creating Noir, I wanted to offer men their own fragrance accessory, one that is full of passion and mystery, and will leave both women and men captivated.”-Christian Lacroix.

Housed in a square black bottle (one of the signature colors of the house of Lacroix) with rectangular top, Christian Lacroix Noir is a Fougere Woody fragrance that features the following key notes: Top notes: fresh ginger, exotic saffron extract. Heart: cardamon, textured orris. Base notes: vetiver, driftwood, white cedarwood.

The luxurious packaging of Christian Lacroix Noir is distinctive of the house of Lacroix, reflecting a passion for embroidered motifs with the bold use of black. The pattern on the bottle was inspired by an ornate bull fighting cape Mr. Lacroix received as a gift and incorporated into a haute couture dress. He was so moved by the pattern of the cape, he incorporated a similar design on the bottle of his two Avon fragrances.

Introducing two new designer fragrances Flower and Petal by Cynthia Rowley exclusively at Avon.

The renowned style maker has created two new fashionable floral scents exclusively for Avon, available from April 2008.

Flower by Cynthia Rowley is feminine and flirty, yet sophisticated. Every note was hand-picked by Cynthia herself, creating a bouquet of florals surrounded by warm woods and musks. The notes include: Casablanca Lily, Freesia, Cashmere Woods, Warm Vanilla, Skin Musk, Velvet Woods, and Sandalwood. Price: $30 for 50ml.

“I wanted to capture the essence of our collection and the women we dress in this fragrance,” says Cynthia. “I think we can associate the elements of design-texture, shape, color-with these scents that embody our sensibilities. I like that the fragrance is complex, with so many disparate notes, but has such a simple name-Flower.” -Cynthia Rowley.

Petal by Cynthia Rowley is the bud for the grownup Flower by Cynthia Rowley and captures the innocent, youthful blush of freshly bloomed Lily of the Valley. It is a natural extension of Flower, similar to the inextricable bond between mothers and daughters. Petal is lighter than Flower, with a more carefree sensibility, and was made to be worn by young girls as well as women who are young in heart. Price: $15 for 30ml.

“The scent of my mom’s fragrance, which she would wear on special occasions and spritz on me before going out, is one of my favorite memories from childhood. I wanted to make something that I could share with my daughters-only with their own fragrance notes.”-Cynthia Rowley.

Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon on Tuesday lent her star power to the UN global campaign to end violence against women, pitching a fund-raising drive by US cosmetics giant Avon for that purpose.

The 31-year-old US actress, who is Avon’s Global Ambassador to help promote women’s empowerment, voiced strong backing for a new long-term partnership between Avon and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).

“I strongly support the efforts of Avon and UNIFEM to put an end to” violence against women, she told reporters as she unveiled the “Women’s Empowerment Bracelet.”

“Every purchase of the bracelet will help empower women: 100 percent of the profits will go directly to the Avon Empowerment Fund to support UNIFEM in their work to end violence against women,” Witherspoon said.

“I hope to see this bracelet on the wrists of women all around the world as a sign of solidarity and hope that one day every woman will be empowered and live a life free from violence,” she added.

Witherspoon won an Oscar in 2006 for her portrayal of country music star June Carter Cash in “Walk The Line” and is reported to be one of the top three highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, commanding around 25 million dollars a picture.

Joining Witherspoon and UNIFEM Executive Director Joanne Sandler at the press conference, Avon Products chief executive officer Andrea Jung pledged that the Avon Foundation would match the first 500,000 dollars in sales of the new fund-raising bracelet.

She said the result would be a one-million-dollar donation from her company to the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women, which she described as “the largest corporate grant” ever made to the fund in a single year.

Avon, known for its “Avon Calling” door-to-door sales pitch, is the world’s top direct seller of beauty products.

“Violence against women is the hidden pandemic,” Sandler said. “It is hidden in the estimated 9.5 billion dollars that criminal networks earn from human trafficking, with the majority of those trafficked women and children.”

The three women spoke at a symposium to mark International Women’s Day, which will be celebrated worldwide Saturday.

Academy Award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon will be Avon’s first-ever “Global Ambassador,” announced the global beauty giant on Wednesday at a press conference in Beverly Hills.

Witherspoon, who won as Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in 2005’s “Walk the Line,” will serve as Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation and will also appear in the company’s international ad campaigns as part of a multi-year agreement.

“I feel a great responsibility in my own life to give back to society,” said Witherspoon at a press conference held yesterday in Beverly Hills. “Now, as the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, I am proud to be joining in the great philanthropic work that is already underway.”

The Avon Foundation’s primary aim, and Witherspoon’s new role, is to raise awareness of their work in the areas of breast cancer awareness, domestic violence and emergency relief.

On Wednesday, Avon announced a dip in second quarter profits, earning $112.7 million, or 26 cents a share down from $150.9 million, or 33 cents a share, a year ago.

Increased advertising costs and restructuring charges were part of the reason for this shift. Compared to a year ago, Avon increased the money spent on advertising by 74 percent to $93 million and announced Tuesday they would up their advertising budget to $375 million this year, 50 percent more than last year.
