Forbidden Rose - Avril Lavigne Second Fragrance

FORBIDDEN ROSE (2010)

Forbidden Rose is the second fragrance by Avril Lavigne. Released in July 2010.

The commercial for the fragrance takes place in a gothic garden setting. Lavigne first walks towards a gate, which is closed to her. She then enters, and a gust of wind draws her attention to a light beckoning to her. She finds the "Forbidden Rose", which she picks up as the thorns surrounding it slowly open to let her hand pass through. She smiles, and throws it at the camera. Unlike for her previous fragrance,Black Star, the commercial does not feature a jingle sung by Lavigne.

Though the tagline for the new perfume is "Dare to Discover", Lavigne stated its message is an extension of Black Star's theme to "follow your dreams".

Black Star - Avril Lavigne First Fragrance

BLACK STAR (2009)

RELEASE : JULY 2009

LABEL : P & G PRESTIGE

TAGLINE : BE YOUR OWN STAR

Black Star is a fragrance by Avril Lavigne. The line includes, besides the 10ml, 15ml, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml eau de parfum, a shower gel, a body lotion, and a spray deodorant.A mini shower gel comes exclusively with a Black Star gift set available in the UK, and in the German/Dutch giftset a 50ml body lotion is also included. "Black Star" was composed in a Malaysian hotel during The Best Damn Tour.

The intention was for it to be just a short theme song for the fragrance, but has since developed into, as Rolling Stone describes it, "one of Lavigne's most

ambitious songs, an etherea

l lullaby that turns epic with Coldplay-like pianos and soaring strings". Lavigne has said to be thinking about releasing the song as a single, claiming it had "the same effect on my friends as Girlfriend did".

In May 2010, Lavigne stated via her official website that Black Star had been nominated for a FiFi Award in the "Fragrance of the Year- Women's Popular Appeal" category.

Later in the same month, Lavigne also stated that the fragrance has won an award for "Best Fragrance" from Cosmetic Executive Women.
