Valentino will launch V Ete, a lighter summer version of last year's Valentino V, in May. Valentino V Ete "captures the essence of summer"; the notes include bamboo, lychee, violet, jasmine, geranium, peony, rose, cedar, sandalwood, gaiac wood, amber, musk and patchouli. Look for it in 50 or 90 ml Eau de Parfum. (via cosmoty, neimanmarcus)

Also for summer 2006, look for a new limited edition from Boucheron: Boucheron Jaïpur Homme Fraîcheur, a fresh oriental with nutmeg, spices, bergamot, straw flower, patchouli and cashmere woods. (via cosmoty.de)
