Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

International
In women's prestige, Givenchy will release two new fragrances, RWD Play FFWD for Her and RWD Play FFWD Intense, while Yves Saint Laurent launches its 'updated' version of Opium, called Belle d'Opium. Lanvin will introduce its romantic Marry Me, and designer Orla Kiely has her first fragrance in the works. Meanwhile, designer Betsey Johnson plans to relaunch her 1982 debut scent (she is reportedly also working on a cosmetics range).
As for new celebrity scents for women, Kate Moss will release a flanker to her Vintage perfume, called Vintage muse, featuring the rather interesting combination of plum, rhubarb, blackcurrant cream, peony, violet, tiger orchid, white musk, ambergris and chocolate. Halle Berry will also launch a new fragrance in August (even though in the US, it won't be out until next year): Reveal is described as "floral," "classic," and "easy," with notes of mimosa, peach, honeydew melon, red berries, plumeria, iris blossom, neroli, vetiver, cashmere woods and skin musk.
For men, Chanel is getting ready to launch Bleu de Chanel, and Antonio Banderas will present his seventh fragrance, The Secret.
