Lanvin will introduce its romantic Marry Me, and designer Orla Kiely has her first fragrance in the works. Meanwhile, designer Betsey Johnson plans to relaunch her 1982 debut scent (she is reportedly also working on a cosmetics range).

As for new celebrity scents for women, Kate Moss will release a flanker to her Vintage perfume, called Vintage muse, featuring the rather interesting combination of plum, rhubarb, blackcurrant cream, peony, violet, tiger orchid, white musk, ambergris and chocolate. Halle Berry will also launch a new fragrance in August (even though in the US, it won't be out until next year): Reveal is described as "floral," "classic," and "easy," with notes of mimosa, peach, honeydew melon, red berries, plumeria, iris blossom, neroli, vetiver, cashmere woods and skin musk.

For men, Chanel is getting ready to launch Bleu de Chanel, and Antonio Banderas will present his seventh fragrance, The Secret.
