The one thing that could complement your beauty and make them go on singing about what makes you beautiful? An elegant bottle of perfume! Therefore the boys have come out with their own fragrance - You & I.
Mention One Direction and any girl below 30
would probably know the English-Irish pop boy band from the UK, comprising of
Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Zayn Malik was a
member until he announced his departure from the band on 25 March 2015.
One Direction is signed under Simon
Cowell's record label after finishing third in the British televised singing
competition The X Factor in 2010. The band has four albums to date - Up All
Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013) and Four (2014),
which have set new records, and topped charts in most major markets, and
generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful",
"Live While We're Young", "Story of My Life" and
"Steal My Girl".
One Direction has won five Brit Awards,
four MTV Video Music Awards, eleven MTV Europe Music Awards, and nineteen Teen
Choice Awards.
Following their musical success, One
Direction have come up with a line of fragrances, and launched their newest
fragrance “YOU & I” on 5 August 2014 in New York. YOU & I is the third
in the band’s line of fragrances, following “That Moment” and their debut fragrance
“Our Moment”, which broke records to become the fastest selling female
fragrance in 2013.
The band took a little detour from their
‘Where We Are’, World Stadium Tour, to attend the launch event where they
shared about their involvement in the development of the new fragrance – from
scent tests to the bottle design.
Liam Payne comments: ‘We love coming to New
York, so it means a lot to us that we get to launch YOU & I here. As with
Our Moment and That Moment, we worked hard creating the fragrance and making
sure that YOU & I was different to anything we’ve done before. It’s not
easy when you’ve got five different ideas on what smells and looks better – but
I think that’s what makes the end result so special to us.’
The fragrance is named after this One
Direction song.
YOU & I is a bright, floral scent that
is fresh and uplifting. The fragrance is made up of splashes of fresh fruit and
seasonal flowers, infused with an undertone of musk. Bright splashes of mango
and refreshing grapefruit are combined with a heart of creamy osmanthus, exotic
orchid and soft peony that combine to form a romantic signature mirroring the
peak of nature in bloom. Background notes of musk, indulgent praline and
sandalwood blend to give a smooth, seamless harmony.
TOP - Mango, Grapefruit, Peach Blossom
MID - Osmanthus, Orchid, Peony
DRY - Musk, Praline, Sandalwood
Richard Herpin, perfumer, commented: “The
scent embodies that unique time between spring and summer when nature is in
full bloom; when everything is at its peak. Juicy fruits and gourmand notes are
paired with fresh florals in a way that is perfectly balanced, achieving a
harmony much like the charismatic dynamic of One Direction.”
The bottle’s design consists of a very
attractive angled glass bottle with a clear lilac overlay, accentuated with
gold outlines, giving the impression of a bottle within a bottle. The elongated
cap follows the same design and the lilac coloured fragrance is complemented
with a detachable charm that you can remove and wear once you’ve finished the
fragrance.
The golden charm which is meant to be a
gift from the band to their fans, is lined with glittering ornaments and signed
on one side with: ‘ONE DIRECTION’. The box showcases two images of each band
member – a strong monochrome image contrasting against a more intimate and
softer photo.
Chad Lavigne, bottle designer, commented, “After
watching the guys transition over the past two years, I was slightly obsessed
with finding a new balance in the next bottle design; something that had a more
avant-garde voice while still holding onto the energy that the guys deliver in
everything they do. The graphic illustration of the “bottle within bottle” felt
incredibly unique and personal while the form of the bottle and cap felt quite
precious.”
Besides the fragrance, there are also other
products in the YOU & I range, including:
Body Lotion - The 150ml body lotion is
blended with uplifting fruits that give way to a fresh floral heart
Shower Gel - The 150ml shower gel combines
the unique uplifting ingredients of mango and grapefruit with the delicate
fragrances of orchid and peony
