Christophe Laudamiel creates scent for Amanda Lepore

by Grant Osborne, 25 November 2008

Christophe Laudamiel has created a fragrance for Amanda Lepore in conjunction with Artware Editions. The fragrance is named Amanda, is encrusted with 1,000 Swarovski crystals and will sell for $950. Only 5,000 bottles will be made.

Amanda is the first fragrance from Amanda Lepore. According to the press release:

Mr. Laudamiel was inspired to create a fragrance that captured Ms. Lepore’s soft elegance, glamour and formidable strength. Her voluptuous and iconic red lips are suggested by notes of red lipstick and succulent strawberry; soft and strong woods capture the grace and ardor of her personality; shiny fruits and yellow mandarin evoke her blonde hair; and a dash of real Cristal champagne summons the glamour of this nightclub hostess and pop diva.

A limited edition booklet featuring new photographs by photographer Nico Iliev will be signed and numbered by Lepore and included in each black, custom gift box.

The Amanda eau de parfum will be available at Artware Editions as of December 6, 2008 and will retail for $950.
