Olsen twins want to number their new fragrances

The 31-year-old twins have launched their new perfumes named Nirvana French Grey and Nirvana Amethyst, and the stars have admitted they initially wanted to name their scents “One, Two, Three”, before they decided on titles referring to color. Speaking to Allure Online, Mary-Kate said: “We actually originally wanted One, Two, Three, Four.” Ashley added: “But decided to go with color instead.” And the ‘New York Minute’ actresses said the biggest “struggle” they faced was settling on a name for their products. The fashion designers - who cofounded The Row as well as Elizabeth and James - explained: “That was the struggle in the beginning, because we really thought we were just going to do Black and White. But then when we decided we wanted to do more fragrances. So then we had to ask ourselves, ‘What does the bottle look like? What’s the story we’re telling?’ If we continued to use solid colors, like Black and White, those would be quite shocking. So then it had to become a bit more transparent.” Ashley added: “We always wanted it to eventually become lighter...” Mary-Kate continued: “Become lighter and friendlier. It has evolved in that way. Even the packaging, the gifting, we’ve definitely evolved. And fragrance has such a long lead time as well. French Grey and Amethyst, I feel like we worked on them last year, so I’m happy everyone finally gets to explore and experience them.” However the pair overcame the hurdles, and have admitted they enjoyed the “whole experience” of creating the cosmetic products. Mary-Kate said: “I knew that everyone took to fragrance differently, but I didn’t realise how different a fragrance, like even a single note, sits on different skin. I could love it on myself and not like it on Ashley, or like something on someone else that I don’t like on me. I found that so interesting. I love notes, I love scents, I like pretending I’m a nose.”
