Jennifer Aniston chose London for the worldwide launch of her debut fragrance – and appeared in Harrods yesterday to meet the fans desperate to be the first to buy it. Two hundred of them were granted a private audience with Jen where she signed bottles and posed for photos with fans. VOGUE.COM caught up with the actress straight after.

So what are you doing in London!? Why did you choose to launch the perfume here?
It just felt right. Harrods is very elegant, and I guess if it works here, then we’re doing well. And I love coming to London – especially now, when it’s sunny. Yesterday we just took a long walk through the streets, which sometimes I can’t do…but I guess the photographers hadn’t worked out that I was here yet, so I was able to do some shopping, visit some clothes stores and furniture stores and some galleries. The weather, though, is…not a great thing. That might be what stops my fantasies of living here in the end.

How would you describe the perfume?
I wanted it to be a mix of smells I love: that smell when you walk through a beautiful garden that’s full of flowers, not overwhelming like some perfume smells, but more natural. So it’s the smell of the jasmine from my garden, and the smell of summertime, and the ocean, and sun tan lotion. I’m not a big perfume kind of girl, I’ve always loved light scents and oils so it was quite a challenge to do something light and natural enough – but I think we did it!

Anything you definitely didn’t want to include?
Not so much individual scents, but I can’t bear it when people wear overpowering perfume…like you get in an elevator with someone and just know they really mis-gauged it. Men are the worst for it too! I did have a trainer who wore an extremely strong cologne that he thought would mask the – let’s call it the aroma – of his workout as he went from class to class, but it just made it worse.

Have you ever had any disastrous fragrance encounters with men? Like dated someone whose aftershave you just couldn’t stand?
If that had ever happened I would have sorted it out on the first date! I would quite like to create a fragrance for men though – something that I like…

And what are you doing for the rest of the summer?
Working! Then I do press for The Switch, (a romantic comedy also starring Jason Bateman, Juliette Lewis, Patrick Wilson and Jeff Goldblum), then I do another movie, then I’m done for a while. So no holidays until then!
Jennifer Aniston the fragrance is available now at Harrods, priced from £23.

Jennifer Aniston’s best friend of all might be her treadmill.

The actress, 41, is the only 40-plus — or 30-plus! — star to chart on the Women’s Health “Best Summer Bodies of 2010″ list, and staying in such great shape isn’t easy.

“It’s simple,” she told the Daily Mirror at the London launch of her eponymous perfume in London on Wednesday. “[I] run, work out every day. I do a lot of running — exercise is so important.”

The single actress added, “Plus it’s all about balance. Work, exercise, diet, you need balance.”

Aniston suggested that her fame helps keep her motivated, too.”I am, perhaps, fortunate in that my career, the public awareness it brings, gives me a certain freedom in this way. But, of course, there are positives and negatives in any career, it’s not all going to be perfect.”

ndeed, a source on the Hawaiian set of her recently wrapped flick Just Go With It told Us that the 5-foot-6 actress is “very conscious of her body…She’s obsessed with staying fit and young…[She] rarely misses a workout.”

I’ve updated the gallery with high quality photos of Jennifer at the launch of her new fragrance ‘Lolavie’ at Harrods in London, Englan on July 21st!  I can’t wait until it’s available in the U.S.  I’d like to hear from everyone who has tried it!!

After first toying with the name Lolavie for her debut scent, Jennifer Aniston ultimately ended up with a much more familiar name. Drum roll, please … Jennifer Aniston. Yes, the former “Friends” star decided to rebrand her eau de parfum with her very own moniker at the last minute, as Lolavie (which translates to “laughing at life” in French) was apparently too close for comfort to Marc Jacobs’ bestseller, Lola.

I’m all for avoiding confusion, but is pulling a switcheroo at the last minute really necessary? Do you think Marc was worried that people would think his “Lola” was in honor of Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes “Lola” Leon, when he released his scent onto the market? In the past, celebs have claimed perfume naming rights like their product is a song or a book — Still by Jennifer Lopez, White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor. Even our favorite pop princess has released scents entitled Curious by Britney Spears, and Fantasy by Britney Spears. Was Lolavie by Jennifer Aniston not unique enough?

The sweet-smelling star’s reasoning for the eponymous moniker? “At such a late hour, I didn’t want to postpone the launch so the only thing we could really clear (in terms of rights to perfume titles) was my name,” Aniston told Reuters at the fragrance’s London launch.

The 41-year-old actress looked positively ravishing at the perfume party in a form-fitting Valentino sheath that showcased her toned, tanned gams to perfection. When asked about her inspiration for the scent, Aniston told the crowd at Harrods department store that it had taken her two years to come up with the perfect combination of aromas. “I brought in a hair serum, a candle, a lotion, a sort of combination of all these things. It’s a combination of my favorite scents — the ocean, sea air, blooming jasmine, and tropical oils. It’s my memories of California nights in the summer.”

Smells like a certified best-seller to me!

TMZ has learned … Jennifer Aniston just got a restraining order against a man who was arrested after prowling around a place she frequents — and the man had a sharp object, duct tape and is considered violent.

According to the docs, Jason Peyton was found on July 15, “laying-in-wait in a location he believes she frequents with a ‘sharp object, a bag, a roll of duct tape and written messages about [Aniston].”

Aniston’s lawyer says in the docs … Peyton spent 8 days trying to find her and when he was taken into custody cops found carved messages in the paint of his car saying, “I LOVE YOU JENNIFER ANISTON.”

According to the documents, obtained by TMZ, “Peyton is an obsessed, mentally ill and delusional stalker — with a history of violence and criminal stalking — who drove cross-country in his delusional ‘mission’ to locate and marry [Aniston], with whom he believes he is in a relationship.”

After being arrested, the 24-year-old Peyton was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

According to the restraining order, Peyton must stay 100 yards away from her home, places of work and vehicles. Peyton must also stay clear of her employees, agents, managers and other reps.

The way cops found out Peyton was in L.A. looking for Aniston … he left a note for his dad on June 25 in Pennsylvania, stating he was going to California which his dad knew meant he was looking for Aniston, so the father gave cops a heads up.

As for Peyton’s violent past — it includes stabbing himself and hitting his mother with a golf club.

Peyton, who has been institutionalized before, was ordered to take antipsychotic drugs but authorities say he stopped taking them in March.

Peyton believes he’s related to Oprah, Nelson Mandela, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Courteney Cox, Bill and Melinda Gates, President George Bush (both of them) and Donald Trump.

LAPD’s Threat Management Unit is involved in the case — translation, it’s serious.

She’s gearing up to launch her new fragrance Lolavie, and Jennifer Aniston can’t wait for her fans to smell the new scent.

The “Rumor Has It” actress appears in a new topless ad campaign looking sexy in a series of black and white shots.

She told press, “I want people to go, ‘What is that? You smell great!’ But most of all I wanted it to smell natural.”

“No aroma is quite so … exhilarating. The combination of the salty air and tropical oils reminds me of long sunny days on the beach – pure happiness.”

Jennifer appeared to be keeping up her title as a trend setter as she sported a fabulous sleeveless sweater vest, leggings, and knee high boots as she was photographed at LAX airport on June 19th!  I’ve updated the gallery with photos!
