Heidi Klum Shines With Her First Fragrance

By The Editors of StyleList Posted Jun 20th 2011 01:30AM

You may recognize Heidi Klum as a supermodel, designer, 'Project Runway' host, producer, mother and wife, but the 38-year-old German stunner can now add celebrity perfumer to her resume.

Shine is Klum's first signature fragrance -- an oriental scent made of pink peppercorn, pear and mandarin top notes; a mimosa absolute, sunflower, and lily of the valley heart; and musk cosmone, vanilla and Venezuelan tonka bean drydown.

"There are different moods that as a fragrance creator you can travel to," Klum told WWD. "But for my first one, I wanted what I felt my staple would be. I wanted it to be sensual and feminine, but still luxurious and expensive-smelling - because I think there are so many perfumes out there that smell cheap and too sweet."

The perfume is poured into a gold bottle with a clear, rounded wavy base, and the not too retouched ad campaign features Klum with a glimmer of light reflecting onto her wind-blown, blond strands as she gazes seductively at the camera.

"You can sell a dream, and you can sell a lifestyle that a woman aspires to have, but you can't completely trick her," Klum explained to WWD. "If people retouch me too much, I get upset - yes, you can help me out a little here and there, but don't go overboard. I have one tooth that's longer than another, and if you look at the [Shine] ad my snaggletooth is coming out a little bit - but I like that."

We're still searching for that snaggletooth.
