Get Ready to ‘Play’: Justin Timberlake Fronts Givenchy’s New Scent

He’s already made fans swoon as the face of Givenchy’s Play for Him fragrance–and now Justin Timberlake is taking on the ladies appearing in the new Play for Her campaign. The singer admits that being asked to front the brand’s female scent came as a shock. “I said, ‘You guys should go find a woman to help put this out,’” Timberlake tells WWD. But after hearing Givenchy’s vision for the campaign, set in a dark and dreamy Paris alongside New Moon siren Noot Seear, he was sold: “I thought, Oh that kind of makes sense.” The print ad, shot by Tom Munro, features the duo linked with a set of headphones tucked discreetly into Timberlake’s pocket, before the sparkling City of Lights. Like Play for Him, Givenchy Play for Her will be housed in a bottle that echoes a digital music player, and will come in two versions: A sparkling eau de parfum that includes notes of bergamot and white peach, and Intense, a more sensual jus of orange blossom, pink peppercorns, and sandalwood. Both will hit stores this October with prices starting at $48 for a 30 ml bottle. Tell us: Do you want to “Play” with Justin? –Jessie Goldberg

Justin Timberlake will likely bring more than just a little sexy back when he and co-founder Trace Ayala launch a limited edition William Rast collection for Target this December. Designed as an affordable alternative to the star-favorite denim line, the new assortment is set to hit the mass retailer December 19 and stay on store floors as well as target.com through January 22. Sure to boast the brand’s signature mix of rocker attitude and laid-back appeal, which has already made fans of starlets like Jessica Simpson and JT’s girlfriend Jessica Biel, we can’t wait to see the jeans, denim jackets and more that this famous designing duo whips up for the retailer come December. And while price points for the William Rast for Target collection have yet to be released, expect them to be significantly less than the label’s designer jeans, which range from $165 to $229, and leather jackets, which cost up to $595.

First Look: Justin Timberlake’s “Nomadic Biker” Collection for William Rast

In the midst of frantic preparations for their William Rast fashion show in New York today, Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala paused to talk to PEOPLE last night to share more about the upcoming collection, including this exclusive sketch. “We would be nervous if we had time to be,” admits Timberlake, while Ayala reveals that, “all of our buttons and rivets and trims got left in a cab last night.” Even within the frenzy, the pair still had time to wax poetic about the range, inspired by a “spiritual soul searching nomadic biker journey.” As avid road-trippers themselves, the theme isn’t entirely surprising: “We just get on our bikes and go,” says Timberlake, who expounds, “a year ago we introduced this concept of New America because we thought it was very timely. I think with that concept comes the concept of discovery and that’s sort of the theme of what we’re pushing forward.” Asked to choose favorites in the series, Ayala says, “Personally I’m a huge denim person myself and our jeans are really on point,” and cites a snakeskin print pair as his pick. Timberlake, meanwhile, enthuses: “I love our leather jackets. We have these tweed dusters on top of these tight leather jackets mixed with a little bit of a Native American influence on the girls with foxtails. It’s pretty cool.” With William Rast branching out into eyewear and shoes, we wanted to know how their personal style is evolving too. While Ayala cops to “wearing more black” while Timberlake professes: “I find that every year that goes by my clothing gets more and more simple. You just get things that are durable and wearable—that’s where I’m going.” – reporting by Michelle Tan

Ooh La La! Justin Timberlake Shoots His First “Play” Commercial in Paris

Who hasn’t dreamed of strolling by the Eiffel Tower at night with Justin Timberlake? While we may not get to experience it firsthand, we will soon see it on TV. Timberlake, spokesperson for Givenchy’s Play, has been in Paris this week secretly filming his first commercial spot for the luxury manufacturer’s men’s fragrance. Beginning at midnight for two nights, the singer has been shooting what one source describes to PEOPLE as “a romantic adventure. This storyline has Justin and his girlfriend (an unidentified actress) come running across the grass of the Champs de Mars to the Tower. They make their way into the Tower through the South entrance and up the staircases to the first level. There, he strolls the balustrades overlooking the city and playfully climbs the girders of the Tower. Those last scenes, will be done on the second level,” source addeds, “and by stuntmen.” The spot is Justin’s first for ‘Play’ fragrance, Givenchy tells PEOPLE, and the 60-second spot will debut on European television only “beginning early 2010.” During an all-night Thursday morning shoot, early risers caught Justin in a tuxedo and soft hat still filming at dawn in the arc-lit gardens at 7 a.m. surrounded by a 40-50 person crew. “Our storyboard shows 30 different set ups (camera positions and angles),” one filmmaker told PEOPLE, “so there’ll be a lot of moving about. He works quickly though…” Not quickly enough — we can’t wait to see the finished product! –Peter Mikelbank

EXCLUSIVE: Justin Timberlake Talks Scents and Sex Appeal

Courtesy of Givenchy

Do you want to know what Justin Timberlake smells like? Well, chances are these days, it’s Givenchy’s men’s scents Play and Play Intense, which the singer signed on to be the face of last year. With his magazine ads breaking in the U.S. in September magazines, the singer dished on his own scent preferences exclusively to PEOPLE. So what smells good to the sexy star? “The greatest scents in the world are pheromones,” he confides. “Just the actual smell of a person’s skin.” But that doesn’t mean that he hasn’t worn his own fair share of fragrances. “I was 13 or something. I thought [Polo fragrance] was cool. I remember when [ck One] was, like, a big deal. Everybody from my school smelled exactly the same.” No more generic scents for Timberlake, though. Although the Givenchy’s scents don’t bear JT’s name, he admits to having a hand in creating the scent. “I think the way we did [it] was kind of cool,” he says, “because [I got ] to pick notes. I’m not a scientist, I won’t be in there doing the chemistry or mixing the chemicals, [but] I really enjoyed the process of working with Givenchy and getting involved in the actual fragrance. It means more to you. It feels more personal. I actually wear it,” he says. But the big question is, what does girlfriend Jessica Biel think? “I get a lot of compliments [from her] when I wear it,” he says. Sometimes, though, even the sexy face of a fragrance brand prefers to go all-natural. “I actually like my own funk smell sometimes,” he says. Buy Play at macys.com, $53 for a 1.7 oz. EDT.
