SO FAR AWAY

YOU CAN’T HIDE

The Score is the second and final studio album by the hip hop trio Fugees, released worldwide February 13, 1996 on Columbia Records. The album features a wide range of samples and instrumentation, with many aspects of alternative hip hop that would come to dominate the hip hop music scene in the mid-late 1990s. Upon its release, The Score was a commercial success, peaking at the number one spot on both the Billboard 200, and the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart (it was a number-one album on the latter in 1996 on the year-end chart). The singles “Killing Me Softly,” “Fu-Gee-La,” and “Ready or Not” also achieved notable chart success, and helped the group achieve worldwide recognition. On October 3, 1997, The Score was certified six times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In addition to receiving mostly favorable reviews upon its release, the album has garnered a considerable amount of acclaim over the years, with many music critics and publications noting it as one of the greatest albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. In 1998, the album was included in The Source’s 100 best rap albums list, and in 2003, it was ranked number 477 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

DARE

Foreword by Madonna
There is something primal and mystical about the sense of smell. It connects us to memory, nostalgia and the ability to dream and fantasize. I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me, but that other people could relate to as well. Something classical and timeless and yet modern. My oldest memory of my mother is her perfume. I carry it with me everywhere. She always smelled like Gardenias and Tuberose. An intoxicating mixture. Feminine and mysterious. I wanted to recreate this scent but with something fresh and new about it as well. Something honest and yet daring. Hence the name Truth or Dare. We can be tricked by what we see and what we hear but not by what we smell.

The Fragrance
Darkness and light, innocence and deceit. Truth or Dare by Madonna represents the dual forces that coexist in all of us. Daring to embrace the duality of our true nature. Truth or Dare by Madonna is a contemporary and sexy reinvention of a classic, a robust signature white floral. The unique blend of narcotic florals, balanced with addictive woods and vanilla, create a scent that is timeless yet modern, simultaneously dark and light. The addition of gourmand notes such as Vanilla and Caramelized Amber makes the fragrance stand out from traditional floral fragrances and gives it a contemporary edge.

The Bottle and Packaging
The bottle and carton, designed by Fabien Baron in collaboration with Madonna, feature a palette of rich gold and white, marrying elegance and sophistication with a touch of edginess. The bottle is luxurious and classic. The dichotomy of Truth or Dare by Madonna is apparent in the packaging, balancing purity and provocation. The white of the bottle and logo represent truth and spirituality. The unexpected beading detail gives the bottle a raw edginess. The carton is a statement in modern luxury, set in chic gold with a delicate white border, emblazoned with the bold Truth or Dare logo.

Available exclusively at Macys in April 2012 and at all specialty stores starting in January 2013.
