Award-winning actors Lupita Nyong’o and Saoirse Ronan will feature together in an ad campaign for Calvin Klein’s new fragrance ‘Women.’ It will be the first fragrance to be released since Raf Simons became the chief creative officer of Calvin Klein in 2016.

Simons explains the inspiration for calling the fragrance ‘Women,’ and starting the #IAMWOMEN movement on social media:

With this fragrance, we wanted to put the concept of plurality center stage. The campaign is an exploration of femininity — a group of women bonded by a common thread; the desire to have the power to create their own identity, and to support and lead the way for those that come after them… Calvin Klein Women is inspired by the transmission of strength and inspiration from one woman to the next; by plurality combined with individuality; freedom of expression; and the notion that the collective is as vital as the individual.

In the print campaign Lupita and Saoirse are photographed beside black-and-white images of the women who have inspired them. Lupita’s choices include Eartha Kitt and Katharine Hepburn while Saoirse’s choices are Sissy Spacek and Nina Simone.

According to Elle the fragrance is a woody floral scent that is “built around three principal ingredients: eucalyptus acorns, orange flower petals, and Alaskan cedarwood. Those key notes are blended with black pepper, lemon sfuma, magnolia grandiflora, jasmine absolute, olibanum essential oil, and Ambrox Super.”

‘Calvin Klein Women’ is set to be released on August 15th.
