Back in April, Jennifer Aniston released the first ad for her new perfume, Lolavie, which in Aniston-speak means “laughing at life”. The first ad image was a bit disconnected from this “I’m laughing, y’all” message, as it featured Aniston wrapped in a towel , sitting on some rocks, looking all alone and sad. Sure, it was a striking image, but there was a disconnect (commenter Sigh theorized, “This what happens when you are even slightly ‘Butlered (If you survive).’ You wake up the next day, half-dressed, shivering, sore, and washed up on the shore of nowhere…note the “WTF?” expression and all.
I shall name this pic ‘The Morning After: Cautionary Tale.’”) So I don’t know if Aniston decided to do away with the first image or if this is an extension of the previous campaign, but there are new (blurry) images from the Lolavie campaign that feature Aniston topless. She looks good… but this looks like every other magazine photo shoot she does, right? It looks like her GQ shoots, her Vanity Fair shoot, etc. Ooh, she’s going to be launching Lolavie this week too!
Jennifer Aniston will be in Harrods this week to launch her new fragrance exclusively at the department store. The Friends star will be signing bottles of her first fragrance, which has the title ‘The Debut Fragrance by Jennifer Aniston’, in Harrods’ Georgian Restaurant from 1-2pm this Wed 21 July.
Jennifer has worked closely with Falic Fashion Group (yes, we had a giggle about that too) to create a signature fragrance that is unique to her.
“I wanted this fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. For example, my love of night-blooming jasmine has lasted a lifetime. Growing up in California, I distinctly remember the scent of jasmine on summer evenings,” says Jennifer.
As well as the US, Jennifer took inspiration from childhood holidays to Greece and days at the beach. “No aroma is quite so…exhilarating. The combination of the salty air and tropical oils reminds me of long sunny days on the beach – pure happiness,” she adds.
The floral fragrance which includes rose, wild violet and Amazon lily dries down to a woody aroma of musk, golden amber and sandalwood. Jennifer took inspiration from the distinct smell of wood fires at friends’ houses on summer evenings as an inspiration for the base notes.
Jen also wanted the bottle to reflect her personality. Her love of architecture (she graced the March 2010 cover of Architectural Digest) was inspiration for the bottle; it references the flow of a Frank Gehry building combined with the fluidity and organic form of a cresting wave.
Jennifer Aniston’s debut fragrance is exclusive to Harrods and harrods.com and will be available in three sizes 30ml £23, 50ml £29 and 85ml £36.
Purchase is necessary to receive Jennifer’s signature and queues will open from 10am on Wednesday.

So it has notes of “rose, wild violet and Amazon lily” and “musk, golden amber and sandalwood”. Jeez, that sounds like a really, really heavy scent. The musk and sandalwood alone is enough for me to pass on this one. As far as Jennifer’s “love of architecture” and the interesting timing of her big perfume launch… well… it’s all very interesting, and let’s leave it at that.

bitch you ain’t slick, launching your nasty ass perfume the same week that Salt comes out…at least her body looks good, but shame about the face :(…lets make this a fun thread ladies 😀
LOL… she still remembers the scent from a trip to Greece when she was a child.. And Frank Gehry.. hmm wonder who else is obsessed with him.
and of course she is posing nude on a beach. OH and the launch was supposed to happen in JUNE..
OK.. I agree.. let’s just all those coincidences to the imagination.
The top picture is hands down fabulous. I can’t really compare the 3 pics she took to any shoot she has down before. Unlike the QG and Vanity Fair pics she looks natural here. However such a shame this chick can only take ONE good picture on a photo shoot. She would get kicked of America’s Next Top Model. Trya hates when a bitch gets only ONE good shot out of like 50 frames. I can’t wait to see what others she took.
She looks like Kelly Clarkson in the second pic. And yeah, these photos don’t really say ‘laughing at life’ to me, either. Meh.
O my goodness. Jen you are 41years and I am almost 27years for crying out loud. Your body looks yummier than mine??? I thought I was so so cute but seeing your pix, I am not sure anymore…sad & sobbing…LOL
Her body’s beautiful. But is her career coming down to teasing shots of her body?
She looks like Avril Lavigne in the first shot in this post. She just becomes more mediocre by the second. There is Angelina, a UN ambassador and all Jen cares about at her age is her looks. Whatever. Another crap celebrity fragrance. Like she doesn’t have enough money.
I see that they airbrushed the lines off her face again.
she looks good but this definitely explains her walk of shame a couple week ago through Sunset(aka pap central) with her “friend” and the fact that she moved her launch to this week(I think it was supposed to be in June) is tacky. Again I’ll say she looks good but she is always getting naked how boring.
I don’t think we need to compare Angie to Jen in this post. There is none really to be made. Aren’t we all burned out on that? I am.
If I had a body as rockin’ as that, I would spend more time naked than clothed.
@Anna: Airbrushed – are you serious? The photos are so fuzzy you can’t possibly see anything that detailed. lol
Sick. Of. Her. Yeah, her body is smoking but big deal? There are a lot of smoking bodies out there and they don’t spend ALL their time working on them. I used to like Jen but she bores me to tears.
*runs to sign up for yoga class*
“love angelina”, it’s normal to get only 1 perfect shot out of 50+ images snapped by photographer. american next top model isn’t what real modeling is like. it’s very common to take hundreds of images and only end up selecting a few final ones.
I think she may have a movie coming out soon, but how does she stay relevant? She’s beautiful, but I think everyone knows this. we get that she’s pretty, single, and filthy rich. The pic with her sitting on rocks with a towel is strange.
I don’t get how these pictures coincide with the perfume and…. Lol’ing at life? ??? She should laugh more in her photo shoots :).
Since when did JA grow up in California?
She’s a Manhattan girl.
It’s ridiculous! If she did charity or adopted a baby everybody would say she’s trying to be Angelina. But she’s living her life enjoying and taking care of herself and people say she’s shallow. It’s crazy. And maybe she really loves architecture? Maybe she got to know it through her ex husband and that passion stayed with her, why not, it’s completely normal.
the perfume has an interesting scent. it smells like desperation.
I remember a quote from her during the Rachel Hair day. (not exact).. but
If people are talking about my hair and not my performance.. what am I doing wrong.
these shots made me think of that and the thread on Eva Mendes and Jessica Beil (who have both been land blasted on this site because each goes on and on about their sexiness and beauty and lack of meaty parts.. I am not saying Aniston has done that. but Really all the positive comments about her are only about her body and hair.. NEVER about her performances in a films. If she was trying to be a model then FINE. But she is an actor..And the comments are never on her craft. Just superficial stuff. The ONLY performance her fans talk about is The Good Girl. and that was how many years ago. Really I think she is going the route of a Pam Anderson. This ad like everything she promotes comes down to a body..not the work or the project. Posing nude on GQ had nothing to do with Marley and Me. Most actors want to be known for performances.. Good or bad..she does not. So Jen to answer your question.. What am I doing wrong? Keep you cloths on and pick roles that allow you to be an actor and not just the body standing next to the guy.
Frank Gehry?!?! How dare she! He’s the inspiration for the greatest architect of our time, Brad Pitt!
/end brangeloonie impression
She’s laughing all the way to the bank , cuz the girl made a career out of being the scorned ex wife 😀
Ligeia America’s next top Model maybe a reality show but it speaks the truth. They CHOOSE one perfect photo out of 50 frames but they should have a HARD time selecting which picture to pick. They should have OPTIONS. Jen Aniston can only deliver ONE decent photo in a set of 50 frames. Thats pathetic. Its interesting you don’t see her ass in any PRINT ads where the advertising agents will need a versatile model to take different pictures so they can choose the shot they want.
@bite me – she may be laughing all the way to the bank but she’s laughing alone. was is only 5 years ago she declared on oprah that she’d be married and have kids within a year or two? her and st angie ho are great at rewriting history.
meme- just like La Jolie, jenny poo is allowed to grow up and change her mind about things( i think jenny poo referred to it as spring cleaning)…i don’t fault her for knowing what she wants out of life…she like her single, child free lifestyle
She does have a great body, but this looks like a photoshoot for skin cream not perfume. Does the perfume smell like salt water and wet sand???
They had me at jasmine, lost me at the musk and sandelwood. So it smells good at first, then you smell like a dirty hippy after????
She doesn’t look very happy in those pictures. Does anyone remember Halle Berry’s commercials for her perfume, that looked more like “laughing at life.”
And that name is all kinds of wrong and stupid.
But her body looks good, that’s all that matters.
@ LOVE ANGELINA:
“Jen Aniston can only deliver ONE decent photo in a set of 50 frames. Thats pathetic.”
Yep, that’s the very definition of “pathetic”! There I was thinking there was more to life than merely being photogenic…
Damn that back shot is shitty, it’s like she has a long back because her ass is soo flat. Not a good look at all.
Salt water and wet sand…that is hilarious!
Pooky This IS Jen’s life. She is trying to model and promote things and wants to be the “face” yet she can’t even deliver the “face” without wasting frames and giving advertisers a headache and graphic designers arthritis retouching her pictures. Yes it is very pathetic. Especially for a product with a so-so sells projection. I would think a little photogenicness is KEY if not important in Jen’s world as of late.
Since when is Jennifer known only for her looks and not her acting performances? What about “Friends”???
And “Marley?”
In the top picture the curve of her back is a little too extreme to be real, so it’s probably been Photoshopped. But what a gorgeous picture!
@bite me – it’s fine with me if Jen wants to stay single and not have kids. But she went on and on about how she wanted kids after Brad left her.
meme-its all pr babe 😀
Wow, what a body!
The advertising message is typical for a perfume ad: Buy this perfume and you, too, will be sexy, alluring, beautiful. The salt water, sand, and rocks provide a very romantic setting.
@PJ: What it looks like the ad is literally saying is buy this perfume and you, too, will be all alone, washed up and on the rocks.
LOL @Cheyenne! 😀
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Jen wants so badly to be an A list actress, but she doesn’t have the talent and never will. I can practically smell the desperation in these photos. She’s pathetic, and I’m not trying to be mean. It is what it is.
What a groundbreaking set of pictures! Her PR guy needs an award of some kind for keeping her relevant and A list through all those bombs.
Yet another fake topless tease from her.
what? all her photo shoots look the same? aniston being boring/repetitive? never!
If that’s what washed up and desperate is, I so want to look just like that. Jealousy isn’t cute ladies! I don’t know about the perfume I am extremely picky about scents… but her body looks sick!!!!
Reminds me of Janet Jackson always posing topless for mags rather than producing inspiring music/art. Use your assets I guess while you have them
That’s one lame campaign and a cheap one for a luxury product as a perfume.
She is a woman, she is 40, she should have brought more originality and sophistication in her ad. It doesn’t ‘speak’ and doesn’t reveal a perfume ‘athmosphere’, a sensual or mysterious aura so intimately linked to such a product.
Sometimes even the focus on a stare, the scene has more intimate impact.
Paltrow beyonce winslet Halle celine dion britney …just to name a few manage to keep their clothes on… Not her though. Eat salad and exercise all the time you can look like her too. she has no hips no boobs and that’s okay if you have a pretty face with a model stature but she doesn’t . Average homely sometimes ugly girl. She doesn’t have a butt either. She is too lazy and self righteous to make it on her own by actually taking acting classes and putting out good products… so leans on people that do work …like jolie Pitt vaughn Mayer and all her celeb friends to sale her crap. She’s suppose to just sit there and be adored. That’s why she played the damsil in distress. Easy ploy for attention. No work involved in bettering yourself. Is she going to be doing this at 50. Sorry Aniston, Salt will be a blockbuster and yeah maybe some fools will buy your crap to put in their team aniston vote. How about a vote for good work. This isn’t it. Going to see Salt though.
Perfumes have top notes and bottom notes. Most perfume have sandalwood in it. Even light floral. I like the photographs. Don’t see a problem with them. I have no ill will for a woman selling a perfume. I don’t think many stars have been very successful at this though.Seems like they should let the experts handle it
Can’t help it, love this chick, smile, body, attitude, evrithing is so likeable about this woman! Someone I want to be! Kiss, Jen!
um, it’s ‘lambasted’ not ‘land blasted’ lol. don’t use phrases you don’t understand.
@Liz Janet Jackson has had plenty of platinum albums and sold out concerts. Grammys too. She actually has a figure also. Janet is a legend. It’s so funny, I have never seen someone that was on a hit show work so hard to keep the spotlight. People that talk about how great this chick looks must not have attractive people in their neighborhood. I see mothers with 2-3 kids that show out her average ass. No crows feet around the eyes, blotches and brown spots for sun damage. They are thin with butts and boobs. Next time the rerun of the BET awards comes on, check out Trey Songz accept his award with his mother by his side. A woman that probably wasn’t a millionaire till her son got a record deal. The woman looks as young as her son. Better yet type in trey songz mother on google. Stop trying to pump up someone who is mediocre.
wah, wah, wah, Jen’s not Angie, wah, wah, wah. Her uterus is dead and she’s alone and miserable, which is what her perfume smells like, wah, wah, wah. She’s only launching this now because she’s trying to get back at Angie, wah, wah.
Can you guys even be original in your insults? Perhaps. Just perhaps. The perfume that she’s had in the works for ages is finally ready. No sabotage conspiracy involved. Perhaps. Just perhaps. This thread doesn’t have to devolve into comparisons with Her Royal Holiness.
Maybe those are just good pictures of a lovely woman with a smoking hot body that they’re thinking of using for the ads. I doubt those are the ones they’ll use, do you really think they’d release them?
Maybe, just maybe, the final shots will show her laughing? And oooh, maybe the perfume will be awesome. Not that most of you would admit it.
Wah, wah, wah.
The really SAD part of this post is that not one of you posting looks as good as, is as rich as, has as many friends as, is as loved as or will ever have as much impact on the world as Jennifer Aniston.
LMFAO @ “land blasted.” Thank you @lrm for pointing that out, because I would have missed it!
There could be any number of reasons why the date of the release was changed from Harrod’s moving it because of a conflict on their end, to the product not being ready for shipment to Harrod’s, or it could have been a conflict on Jennifer’s end because of her Horrible Bosses filming schedule and that is why she didn’t do the launch last month.
Wow she is smoking hot! I swear I am buying that yoga tape!!
JA grew up in Sherman Oaks CA, not Manhattan as a previous poster said.
I know I’m usually on Jen’s side (ok, pretty much always) so it seems like I would be whether I genuinely agreed with her or not, but I actually think everything about this is lovely.
I’m very curious to smell the perfume (LOVE sandalwood), I think she describes it in a very appealing way, and I think she sticks with what she knows works (in terms of the attractive pictures). Granted, I would like to see her in a wild, totally different look. But she looks great.
And lastly, as I’ve said a million times, I don’t think the media’s depiction of her is close to reality at all. Notice how some are single and we never hear or talk about that? Who’s to say that Jen is pining and obsessive and baby crazy – her life looks fantastic in my opinion. Dating a couple beautiful men every damn year, galavanting, vacationing, looking rocking at 40! How do we know she wants to settle down so bad? She looks pretty freakin happy to me.
So, when ever somehting — ANYthing — happens that could even remotely fit in with the media’s stupid persona they have created for her, they’re all “see! She’s trying to upstage a movie with her perfume!”
That doesn’t even make sense!
I think she looks like an Olson twin in the first pic, and Giselle in the second. I am kinda excited to smell this perfume 🙂
I feel like so many of her supporters are in complete denial. Oh yeah, it’s just a mere coincidence that she will launch her perfume the same week that a certain ex-husband’s significant other is launching a new movie. Face it, this woman is a basketcase who still feels the need to outdo the so-called ‘other’ woman. Sure she has a great body, great hair, tons of money, but I wouldn’t want to be her for anything.
I forgot that every celeb should stop working when Holie has her family…uh I mean her movie to promote…
Well she is consistent.
Some of the photos are nice, but I don’t wear perfume, and am generally wary of celebrity products.
I can’t blame her for taking advantage of opportunities now that she might not get later, but if it were me and I had her money, I wouldn’t be interested in product endorsement like this.
First photo is FUZZY! If you squint a little she looks like an Olsen – the universal symbol for happiness.
She looks great 😉
Same old shit, different day around here.
It sounds fine. No, this photoshoot doesn’t look like “all the others”. No there is no conspiracy. While both sides of the mess would like there to be, chances are, there isn’t. By even suggesting there is, you’re riling up the extremists on both sides.
@trace, What about this woman makes you think that she does everything in relation to some other people who don’t rule her life?
I think you’re the one in denial. You want to believe something so badly, that you have zero proof of, that you spout nonsense “facts” about someone who you have no personal relationship with.
As surely as night follows day, here is Ms. Jennifer Aniston and her PR team at work: last week she is seen with two “mystery” men and this week she is naked in a photo shoot all at the same time that Angelina Jolie has a movie coming out!! This woman is so predictable that it has ceased to be funny. Now she is just pathetic. Why couldn’t she wait until next month, closer to the time her own new movie will be released? Why do all this now? Nobody is fooled anymore by this woman. She has turned herself into a laughing stock.
*giggle* yall are mean *giggle*
Just an observation…Why does everyone go on about how great her hair is when she wears extensions? Those kinds of compliments should be reserved for women who truly have a great head of hair.
Good grief. Definitely one I will be passing on. For several reasons.
And I agree with Kaiser, it is very interesting timing etc isn’t it. *smirk*
Let the defenders have at it 😆 .
@deevah: I’ve never heard that she wears extensions. Source?
@belle Epoch – I thought she looked like one of the Olsen twins in the first shot, too. But what I really noticed though, in that same picture, was that I think it looks like they photoshopped in Brad Pitt’s nose on her face!
If this was the first “coincidence” I would give her a pass but this has become her M.O.(does anyone else remember the Oscars 2008)she has a mediocre talent(more suited to television), some charm, and is not as grating as some other actresses(Katherine Heigl), but definitly not the greatest. Without the triangle she would be in the same catagory as Sara Jessica Parker a former television star with a loyal fan-base who does bad rom-coms. As a result of her clever media manipulations she is always going to be compared to Angie however the comparasion is a double edged sword and in the eyes of major Hollywood players she will always fall short I wonder if she has lost plum roles(with a chance to prove range or a shot at an Oscar run) because a director/writer thought in the back of their mind if they do a movie with Jen they would never get a chance to work with Brad or Angie who are unquestionably A list with or without Jen in the mix.
If they decide to go with any of those photos to advertise her perfume, she should fire whoever is in charge of her advertising campaign. She’s calling it Lolavie which is supposed to mean laughing at life or something like that. She doesn’t look like she’s LOL’ing at life or anything else. She looks like she is shivering with cold and starving for a couple of Big Macs and a Slurpee. Chalk this one up as an epic fail.
Its amazing that someone so bland and talentless can inspire so much vitriol. Lordy! Who GIVES a rat’s arse about this woman? Can we please get some public figures worth discussing???
Arrghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Was the photographer on something while doing these shots or were they taken by a 1 dollar camera without focus or maybe the photoshop people were blind? What a waste of time and material!
lolavie? as in LoLavie? Seriously?
Re: the timing question – who launches a perfume mid to late summer? The launch is usually in April / May so it is out for the summer. It does look bad for her. Like she is continuing to compete and trying draw focus from the ex-hubbie’s new wife. Why this week? Angie hasn’t had a film out in two years and now that she has one (and the Tourist later in the year) that just happens to be the best and only week to launch Jen’s debut perfume.
And why in Britain? She is suppose to be the All American girl next door. Wouldn’t you assume that the States would be the biggest market place for the perfume then later to be released in Europe. Maybe she wants the press to follow her to Britain and ignore Angie. Or Jen wanted an excuse to be out of the country when the media is falling over themselves to report on Brad and Angie.
And if it was just a coincidence, when Jen got the date of the launch, she had the power to have it changed so that it wasn’t the same week which more evidently lead to more media speculation about the triangle. It’s her perfume. She is in control of it apparently being that she has stated that she was involved and didn’t just slap her name on the bottle. She, and her people, had to know that releasing it the same week as the film coming out was going to start up the poor Jen stories and more stories. That she hadn’t let it go in over 5 years as look, she is still competing.
Or that may just be the ways she wants it – it’s not like her films are good enough to keep her relevant and in the public eye.
Re: the timing question – who launches a perfume mid to late summer? The launch is usually in April / May so it is out for the summer.
_______________
Actually, launches are generally throughout the year with many in the August-October range.
I love JA but her body looks like a stick!!!! ewwwwww
Poor woman, she looks desperate everytime she is naked.
And besides I won’t buy her perfume she is extremely wealthy.
The pics are lovely. Question: Do you all think she picks the look of her shoots? I thought that would be someone else’s job. Seems to me like the photographer is being a copy cat not Jen.
“She may not have timed this, but then when she found out the timing overlapped with angie’s movie, why didn’t she change the release date so it didn’t coincide with Angie’s film release”
This is assuming that Jen is marking her calendar with dates important or relevant to angie. Why do we think she does this for pete’s sake?!
Why should she postpone the release of her fragrance line just because it coincides with the release of anyone’s movie? She shouldn’t have to schedule her activities and events in her life around what is going on in other people’s. Good for you Jen. March to the beat of your own drum and don’t let other’s dictate your actions.
are these the originals, pre photoshop? eat your heart out angelina with your golem inspired bony body. jennifer looks hott. i think her breasts are a great example of a convincing boo job and she shaved her nose down years ago. still she LOOKS natural and lovely.
