MANILA, Philippines -Ever wonder what it’s like to be in the shoes of your favorite star? Bench makes this possible with classic fragrances from its Celebrity Scents Collection.
Inspired by the best qualities of the country’s biggest stars, Bench is relaunching its fragrance collaborations with Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres-Gomez, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, Kris Aquino and Gretchen Barretto.
Set amid a backdrop of enchanting greenery, the Bench Celebrity Scents Collection relaunch echoes a garden paradise for its theme. Each fragrance promises to bring you closer to your favorite star. Case in point is celebrity power couple Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres-Gomez’s perfume line for Bench. Richard and Lucy were very hands-on in developing each other’s fragrance. The entire collection is something we can all relate to as it speaks of love — a testament to the couple’s emotional relationship and commitment to each other.
During product development it was Richard who created Love Eau de Toilette for Lucy. Love is a light romantic scent that reminds Richard of his favorite images of his wife: walking hand in hand with Juliana on the beach; applying lipstick; and her pretty smile. It is a warm, sweet and loving fragrance that embodies Richard’s perception of Lucy as it starts off with fresh floral green notes enhanced with sparkling citrus and marine accords.
