New Garbo fragances by Grès

The Austrian perfum company Grès, will release (spring 2009) three Garbo dedicated fragances. The three fragrances of the Parfums Grès Collection Hommage à Greta Garbo will be offered as Eau de Parfum in 60 ml bottles. The names are: Mythos, Sphinx and Goddess.

Press Release: Launch of the Parfums Grès Collection – Hommage à Greta Garbo

A year after the release of Hommage à Marlene Dietrich, Parfums Grès is preparing to launch a new trio of scents dedicated this time to Garbo called Hommage à Greta Garbo which will launch in the spring of 2009. Like Marlene Dietrich, Garbo was one of the famous customers of couturière Madame Grès.

The set comprises Mythos, Sphinx, Goddess in reference to the particular charisma that exuded from the star whom people could not wait to see laugh at long last in what must have been the most self-conscious laugh in history in Ninotchka (1939). And she did, beautifully so, and a bit strangely at the same time.

"With her classic beauty, her noble aura and an occasional playful wink of the eye, she (Greta Garbo) fascinated both men and women. The fact that she loved being alone and hated the media frenzy enhanced her appeal to the public. In the course of her 19-year film career in which she made 27 films, she gave only 14 interviews.

She was referred to as „the Goddess" or the „Swedish Sphinx". In contrast to other Hollywood stars she never gave an autograph, never attended the premieres of her films and never answered fan mail. In spite of this, she had a powerful effect on her times and the fashion of her day. The way she wore her make-up, styled her hair and dressed greatly influenced the trends of the Thirties." ...

Mythos – Hommage à Greta Garbo is a floral fruity perfume that interprets elegance in a new and youthful way, for fruity notes are especially popular with younger women. The head note tantalizes with the scents of apples, oranges, black currants and pineapple. The classic, elegant floral accents unfold in the heart note - rose, freesia and peony - typical ingredients found in sophisticated French perfumes. Subtle sensuousness permeates the whole fragrance composition through the delicate base note of musk, sandalwood and iris.

Sphinx – Hommage à Greta Garbo is a delicate fresh-floral perfume. The essences of exotic blossoms blend in a refined manner with woody and fruity fragrances. First the delicate scents of litchi, peach and Yuzu (a precious citrus fruit from Asia) captivate the senses. After a few minutes the exhilarating heart note of lotus blossoms, rose petals and white peony unfolds, then merges perfectly with the discreetly disarming base notes of cedar, musk and patchouli.

Goddess – Hommage à Greta Garbo is a floral-oriental perfume, a fragrance that expresses the elegant sensuousness of the great artist. In Goddess the most beautifully eroticizing fragrance essences delicately cast their spell: The head note mesmerises with plum, mandarin orange and cardamom. In the heart note, a voluptuous cocktail of cinnamon, heliotrope and jasmine unfolds. The base note beguiles with sandalwood, moss, vanilla and ambergris, merging wonderfully with the skin. The bottle and packaging were designed by the Parisian design studio Aesthete.

The three fragrances of the Parfums Grès Collection Hommage à Greta Garbo will be offered as Eau de Parfum in 60 ml bottles, each at a price of CHF 89.00 or Euro 59.00. Available as of Spring 2009 at selected perfumeries.

Garbo and Marlene Dietrich making out in Mr. S's swimming pool?

In the 2003 released Frank Sinatra book, Mr. S: My Life with Frank Sinatra by George Jacobs and William Stadiem, they write that Jacobs once catched Dietrich and Garbo in Sinatra's pool, swimming naked and kissing. You can find the story  HERE!

the book

Anyway, rumor is that Hollywood is now making a film based on Jacobs life starring Chris Tucker. We wonder if they will include the 'pool' scene. LOL

Jacobs, was the right hand of Frank Sinatra from 1953 to 1968. He arguably had one of the coolest jobs in the world at the time when Sinatra was the undisputed master of the entertainment universe. Jacobs rose from his humble beginnings in New Orleans to join Sinatra in the mansions of Beverly Hills, the penthouses of Manhattan, the palaces of Europe, the pinnacles of world power. George Jacobs saw it all, did it all.

Ever wanted to know how GG's summerhouse in Hårby ( Sweden) looks now?

Hårby was Garbo's Swedish home. It was the first house she purchased. Hårby gård was a large estate in Sweden. It is situated on Lake Sillen outside the town of Gnesta in the county of Södermanland. An hour's train ride southwest of Stockholm. It was a beautiful thousand-acre forested estate with fifteen-room manor house.

Garbo purchased it in 1936, for her mother and her brother Sven and his family. Hårby is slightly 40 Milessouthwest of Stockholm, on the mainland. The Estate covered 1000 acres and dated back to the 16th Century when it was owned by the noble family of Leuhus. It was owned by Greta between 1936 -1947.Garbo's brother Sven took care of the estate and lived their, along with his family and mother, from 1937- 1939, until they moved to California.

Mini scene from the  Mata Hari: Uncensored Version

Various books wrote how the film was a victim of censorship when it was re-released in 1938/1939. Some scenes were cut out to satisfy the Hays Office. In spring 2005 the uncensored version of the film was shown in Brussels/Belgium at the Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique. Warner is aware of it and it is now up to them to restore the film and release it on DVD. More info about the film  HERE!

The Uncensored Version does contain the following scenes and takes:

The Mata Hari's dance scene at the beginning is much longer. The original dance scene goes on and on. Most revealing as Garbo continues in a frenetic dance to approach the statue of Shiva. She does is in such a suggestive way, that she seems to imply that she actually makes love with it. In the last shot she takes the top off and we see her from behind – totally nude. See a short snippet here:

Garbo talks - complete film on YouTube

See a clips on Daniel's (pventertainment) Youtube channel. Go  HERE!

Garbo Talks is a 1984 film directed by Sidney Lumet. The movie stars Anne Bancroft as a terminally ill woman who asks her son, Gilbert, to help her fulfill her last wish: to meet Greta Garbo. As her son, played by Ron Silver, carries out his search for Garbo, he confronts his relationship with his wife and an interest in a struggling actress.

The movie was written by Larry Grusin and stars Bancroft, Silver, Carrie Fisher, Catherine Hicks and Steven Hill. Bancroft was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work in the film. Supporting roles include: Howard Da Silva and Dorothy Loudon, a down-on-his-luck paparazzo and his agent, Harvey Fierstein, a gay man that Gilbert meets on the Fire Island ferry, and Hermione Gingold, a nearly-senile actress who once worked with the elusive Garbo. Rumor was that Garbo played herself in this film but actually it is b roadway songwriter Betty Comden.

Teaser for a new Garbo feature film?

We just saw something truly wonderful. You can see a short trailer teaser for another planned 'Garbo Feauture Film'  (not to be confused with the Buddy Bregman production), directed by Italian director, writer and photographer Ketch Rossi.  

  
  
Some caps. Yelena Popovic as Greta Garbo and Matt Stasi as John Gilbert

‘Garbo' is a 7 minutes teaser.  Rossi was asked to do this little piece of art for a friend, who wrote the script for a feature film based on Garbo's life. The teaser was much appreciated by the producer but further work on this ‘Garbo' film project, was shelved.

Maybe they put the production on hold until they find a more known director, to give their project some weight in Hollywood. The truly wonderful piece of work is Rossi's directorial debut and was shot in one day with a mini budget, on a beautiful Downtown LA penthouse hotel set in the twenties.

See the Trailer  HERE!

If this is going to be turned into a full feature film? We are trying to find out.
