Anyone who works a job that requires you to be on your feet all day long can verify that -- no matter how clean and odor-free you usually are -- 8 or 9 hours of standing or walking can make your feet smell like rotting death. Apparently, a few of Portugal's brightest minds have set to work correcting this embarrassing problem.

A team from Porto University, led by Alirio Rodrigues, has developed a lemony fresh micro-capsule that can be woven into your clothing. The tiny capsules of perfume are similar to those embedded into "scratch and sniff" stickers, except they're not made with toxic formaldehyde. Really, it's hard to believe that scented clothing hasn't been done before. Where were 'scratch and sniff' socks back in the days of Hypercolor?

So far, the team is focusing on lemon socks, but we could totally go for some piña colada undershirts.

Shoppers of Nordstom's Anniversary Sale, July 18-August 3, know there's great deals across all the departments. Unfortunately, there's also massive crowds, eager for a trip to Deal City.

Our solution: get in on the sale action with a pre-order to lock in exclusive cosmetics and scents from the likes of Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Dior, Trish McEvoy, Shiseido, Viktor + Rolf, Hermes and Kiehl's. The beauty sale is based around items you won't find anywhere else, limited editions, special sets and collectible items.

Pre-orders can be made in store, or via the website, and ship when the sale officially kicks off. So, as if you needed an excuse to pick up Prada's Infusion D'Iris, or Bulgari's Eau Parfumee au Vert Coffret, this looks like the time to make a move.

In between shooting an ad campaign for Stella McCartney with rock chick Frankie Ryder and losing her weave on the red carpet last week, Kate Moss managed to stealthily launch another fragrance.

It's apparently named Velvet Hour, but no other details have been made available about the new scent -- except for an image that power-house fashion photography duo Mert & Marcus lensed for the fragrances advertising campaign.

After staring at this photograph for a while, we began to realize that we'd seen this very same moody and predominately navy blue background once before -- the Cool Water ads.

"How could we not have seen it the first time around?" we thought aloud. Hopefully, Kate's new concoction will smell at least half as good as Cool Water's high school-friendly perfume. Really, was that mist not the most popular fragrance next to Abercrombie & Fitch's musky cologne in your teenage years?

Not only is Emma Watson the cleverest witch of her age in the Harry Potter movies, but she's also apparently an awfully clever young actress. According to the Daily Mail, the 18-year-old has landed a £3 million deal with Chanel.

Emma, who recently signed up with the modeling agency Storm will take over for Keira Knightly as the new face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle fragrance. Chanel has been dressing the young starlet for premieres and parties over the last few months and is now apparently convinced that the actress best known for her role as Hermione Granger wears the brand elegantly enough to represent it.

Move over fragrance experts with your fancy Italian names, it seems that people can't get enough of fragrances by Queen Latifah, Avril Lavigne, Derek Jeter, and eve Tim McGraw. Antonio Banderas has apparently been such a successful name in the fragrance business, that he's teamed up with Puig Beauty USA to debut his first fragrance for women called Blue Seduction. We were pretty surprised to find that this will be the 5th fragrance to bear the Banderas name.

According to market analysts, celebrity fragrances are the hottest way to merge mass with class -- and Antonio Banderas' image is a near perfect sales rep. Antonio's Latin lover persona is apparently something that dudes want to emulate and women want to get with. If his success with men's cologne is any indicator, Blue Seduction should be a top 10 seller and the big chain stores. We remember when Michael Jordan's fragrance debuted in the 90's, it seemed really confusing and not so classy. We thought: who wants to smell like sweat and Gatorade? We were wrong.

You can't keep a good woman down for long.

Just after Burberry gave her the boot, Agyness Deyn has gracefully landed in Jean Paul Gaultier's commercial for his recently launched perfume, Ma Dame.

In the commercial, the Manchester native dons a long platinum blonde wig, which she hacks all off towards the end to expose her cooler-than-thou peroxide pixie cut. But not before she begins ripping off her sleeves, shirts, and pant legs. The thirty-four second fragrance spot was shot in black and white and has a 80s retro feel to it -- probably paying homage to Gaultier's days of courting Madonna with cone bras.

Watch and enjoy.

Whether you've invited just a couple of pals or a whole bunch of people over, whenever you have guests in your home, you want it to make a good impression. That means putting away your dishes and maybe doing a little vacuuming ... but what about the first thing people notice when they come in the door? What about the scent?

A pleasant aroma can immediately set the tone of the evening, so you want to make sure you get it right. We're really digging Zensual. They offer a variety of intoxicating scents in both candle and diffuser form -- candles for when you want that romantic glow, and diffusers for when it's just too hot to deal with a flame.

We recently received some samples of this new perfume line, I am, from Danica Aromatics.

As usual, our first reaction was to love the packaging. So clean! Such pretty colors! Then we sprayed and roll on, and fell in love with the fragrances, too. So much that we think you'll enjoy them, so we're doing a giveaway!

It was just a couple weeks ago that recently-rehabbed actress Eva Mendes appeared in Vogue Germany -- for the most part without her clothes. And now, word 'round the Internet is that the star's latest ad campaign is similarly scandalous.

The TV spots are for a new Calvin Klein fragrance called Secret Obsession, and apparently clearly show Eva "having illicit thoughts." So illicit, in fact, that they're making network TV sensors very uncomfortable -- which means the ads will likely never see the light of day.

Last month, we tipped Audrey Tautou to play Chanel in a new biopic of the French designer. Now we can confirm the rumors are true.

Tautou will play Chanel in a new movie to be called Coco avant Chanel (which means "Coco before Chanel" and which will focus on Coco's formative years, before she became known for her classic sense of style and her wonderful taste in smells). We didn't know much about the fashion legend's early life, but according to Variety, she learned to sew during her time in a Catholic orphanage after the death of her parents, and earned the nickname Coco after performing as a cabaret dancer - there's some perfect biopic material, right there.

Variety also reports that Tautou was (understandably, being the most famous hip and beautiful young Frenchwoman in Hollywood) the only choice for the role.

Matthew McConaughey won't take his shirt off for a video shoot? What's that about? Apparently, the shirtless version of his commercial for D&G's new fragrance, The One, is intended for European and Asian eyes only. He insisted on doing a fully clothed version for the good ol' USA -- guess we're not cultured enough to understand the shirtless male form? Anyway, it hasn't stopped the European version from making the rounds on YouTube. From the article:

'Matthew didn't want to be bare-chested on billboards in America, although he doesn't seem to have a problem stripping off in his films.'

Is Matthew starting to get sick of being a sex symbol? Or is he trying to tone it down because he's going to be a daddy soon? For years the guy has been shedding his shirt whenever possible, then when it comes time to do a shoot with Dolce & Gabbana, he gets shy all shy? Not buying it -- the photo for the D&G advertisement is probably the first pic featuring a shirted McConaughey in months. We think he was just fishing for some extra beer money.

Clearly it's not enough for Naomi Watts to be just an Oscar-nominated actress with a beautiful baby and a super-famous best friend. No, the King Kong and Funny Games star has designs on the modeling industry, too -- she has just been signed up as the first celebrity face of Thierry Mugler's Iconic Angel perfume.


Any eagle-eyed dress-watchers at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala Benefit in New York last week will have spotted the suitably angelic appearance of Watts' dress... of course, it was a Mugler design. Crafty.

Paris Hilton certainly made an impact in London when she stopped by Selfridges to promote her new fragrance, Can Can. She not only channeled Sarah Jessica Parker by wearing an unusual hat (which, though we're in the minority, we kind of love -- just maybe not on Paris), she also stole the spotlight from Victoria Beckham who had decided to actually take the trouble to promote her denim line down the street at Harrods.

Do you ever worry, after dancing up a sweat with that hottie at the club, about how you smell? Wouldn't it be great to have a little something on your person that could spruce up your scent? Of course, there's no WAY you want to carry a whole bottle (even travel-sized) around in your purse all the time -- what if it spills?

Let's be clear: the very idea of celebrity "designed" fragrances is weird. Sure, we'll dress like our favorite actor, musician, or celebutant, but who wants to smell like Britney Spears? In any case, men who enjoy emitting an Eau de Michael Jordan, Antonio Banderas, or Derek Jeter now have a new, and equally as unappealing option: Tim McGraw.
