Sarah Jessica Parker’s new scent is a ‘snapshot of Carrie Bradshaw’.
The ‘Sex and the City’ actress – who plays Carrie in both the TV series and movies – says her latest fragrance, SJP NYC, was designed as a homage to a vision of her character.
She explained at its launch at New York’s Sweetie Pie restaurant: ‘What I really wanted to do was capture an image, a snapshot in my head of Carrie Bradshaw, that sort of freeze-frame of her walking down any New York City street at an idyllic time of year in a floral-print dress on her way to meet somebody or to do something, or surrounded by her women friends.
‘You can go anywhere with that, because we live in a fragrant city,’
Sarah also said she was surprised when the ingredients for the fragrance came together, as it is concocted of scents – wild strawberry with gardenia and vanilla – she wouldn’t usually choose.
She added: ‘What we arrived at was very surprising to me because it’s not notes that I generally cotton to – but I love it.’
SJP NYC comes in a multi-print bottle inspired by the custom-designed Oscar de la Renta dress Sarah wears in the ad campaign for the fragrance.
