I know the title of this post sounds like an order, but Look is actually the name of the new Vera Wang Scent.  Thats right, the new one - the well known bridal designer has several.   I have been vocal in the past about my lack of enthusiasm for the Wang scents.   I just about lost it when I heard about the Men's launch.. ???  I can just see a guy trying that pick up line.. "Wanna smell my Wang?".. and what was that song.."If I could have Wang in a bottle.... YOU CAN!!".   Ok, I know thats too much.   I just don't get it.  (previous blog about Celebrity Scents)

The press release says that the new fragrance contains : mandarin, lychee, misted greens, heart of lilly, freesia, jasmine, and a vanilla-chypre dry down.  Wow... sounds like you might need a can of OFF along with LOOK.   

I must give Vera credit.   She keeps smart people around her to grow that business.   They launched fragrance.   They launched Jewelry - but that didn't go so well.    They then launched Ready-To-Wear... I know.. you just want her wedding gowns..   Then they launched Lavender - a bridge line.   If it sounds familiar, your probably thinking of Purple Label - but that is one of Ralph Lauren's collections for men.   Did I forget to mention, Vera worked at RL before launching her own label.. uh huh.   Then they launched Simply Vera at Kohl's.   I guess there was just not enough Vera Wang out there?  Well, lets look on the bright side.   It could be worse - the house of Wang could be launchiing a.... C.D.    Smelling Vera Wang is way better than listening to her speak..   Trust me, its nails on a chalk board.

Look is available at Bloomingdale's
