A month ago was announced that Terrence Malick was planning to direct a
perfume commercial for Guerlain starring Angelina Jolie. As the new face
of the French company’s campaign for their fragrance Mon Guerlain,
Jolie is donating her entire paycheck to a charity of her choosing, and
now they’ve kicked things off with the launch of the ad.
We create perfumes for the women we admire,” Jacques Guerlain said in
a statement, whilst the brand’s master perfumer Thierry Wasser said he
drew inspiration from Jolie to create a fragrance expressing the “notes
of a woman”. The campaign film is directed by Terrence Malick.
Mon Guerlain, the house’s new fragrance, is a tribute to today’s
femininity – a strong, free and sensual femininity, inspired by Angelina
Jolie. Mon Guerlain is characterized by the freshness of Lavender
Carla, an exceptional variety cultivated in Provence, which contrasts
with the voluptuousness of the Sambac jasmine from India and the
Australian Album Sandalwood, associated with the sensual Vanilla
Tahitensis of Papua New Guinea.
I believe that we all came on this
Earth to fulfill a purpose. We all have that flame or that obsession, dream or
goal in us that just won’t go out. That’s why I find it so refreshing when
women fulfill that purpose while doing it on their own terms. Their success is
attributed to their hard work and talent, but they also tend to shine a little
light on their amazing personalities as well. Here are some amazing women who
are out there finding success on their own terms. Who are your personal female
heroines? Are any on this list? Let me know in the comments!
Leandra Medine- Leandra Medine liked
style. She liked style, but for her. She was sick of reading content on the
Internet about “butt boosting” or “clothes to get a man’s attention.” She liked
her style simply because she liked it and she wasn’t about to sacrifice that
fact for any man. She created her blog, The Man Repeller, to showcase that
style that wasn’t exactly meant to boost anything. Her blog is a success and
she is now a major face in the fashion industry.
Sheryl Sandberg
- Sheryl Sandberg is
Facebook’s COO. She wrote Lean In because she was sick of hearing that she
couldn’t be a high-level business executive while also advocating for women.
She decided to try both and now Lean In is a major bestseller and those
naysayers are biting their tongues.
Angelina Jolie - Angelina Jolie is more
than just an actress; she’s a world-renowned public figure. In order to use her
big name to use, Jolie has become an advocate for women while also discussing
her own life as a woman. She is also a humanitarian, constantly speaking out
and fighting for those who cannot. She’s always done it on her terms, whether
or not Hollywood was ever willing to listen.
