RIHANNA GETS SASSY WITH ‘REBELLE’ Award-winning recording artist Rihanna is set to launch her second fragrance, Rebelle, in Macy’s this month, with additional stores rolling out in February and international distribution shortly thereafter.

Following the success o f t h e s t a r ’s f i r s t fragrance, Reb’l Fleur, Rihanna asked her fans in an online video whether they considered themselves to be more of a rebel or a fleur. An overwhelming majority chose the rebellious side, leading to the creation and naming of the new scent, Rebelle.

“My new fragrance is about taking control, but still being a lady,” said Rihanna. “There’s a feminine, romantic element to the fragrance, but there’s also a defiant quality in it. I love its duality.”

of facts and figures about the sales volume for celebrity fragrances in both mass and prestige markets over the last decade.

“There has been an increase in dollars for prestige celebrity fragrance sales due to the turnaround we’ve seen from the success of Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift,” said Grant. “Although the celebrity fragrance category has contributed $1.3 billion to the industry since 2002, which is a very compelling sales volume, brands need to continue looking for new ways to leverage the category in order to find the winning formula.”

Darland spoke about the growth of Dior J’adore since award-winning actress Charlize Theron became the face of the brand in 2005, and said the brand probably wouldn’t be as successful without her.

To add a retail perspective, Levy noted that the most important thing for Macy’s is that they really know who their customer is.

Givaudan’s Rose Eckert and Kate Greene (r.) with Rochelle Bloom and Coty Beauty’s Marsha Brooks.

“It is also important to bring in brands that appeal to different audiences, and be able to reach them in different ways,” said Levy. “There is a lot more marketing that can be done.”

Spilka commented on the process of the selection of celebrities to work with, and the contract negotiations.

“It is a nurturing process and an educational phase to cultivate the relationship and negotiate terms,” said Spilka.

“We choose a celebrity that we can have an ongoing relationship with—it’s not just, ‘let’s go after who’s number one today.’”

Rolleston added his insight on the selection process, from a marketing point of view.

“As marketers we try to understand people’s fan bases and their audiences through qualitative and quantitative research,” said Rolleston. “Taylor Swift is the voice of her generation and has an extremely high level of fan loyalty. It makes sense that her fans would want to wear her fragrance.”

The juice, a lush gourmand chypre created by Givaudan perfumers Caroline Sabas and Marypierre Julien, aims to capture Rihanna’s essence by taking the darkest notes of the original fragrance and developing an entirely new scent around them. Playful top notes of plum, strawberry and ginger are complimented by a heart of vanilla orchid, heliotrope and cacao absolute to create an exotic allure. Musk, coffee, patchouli and amber merge to form a rich and mysterious base built on direct sensuality.

Keeping with the stiletto-inspired flacon of the original, created by SGD Group, the bottle layers a twisted, matte “ribbon” over precious metal, but in a new lipstick red instead of black.

“Rihanna’s remarkable talent and bold personal style have made her an icon, yet it is the way she balances strength and femininity that keeps her audience so intrigued,” said Fred Purches, chairman and CEO of Parlux Fragrances, the star’s licensee.

“This fragrance, like Rihanna’s music, expresses a fresh, modern sensuality. Stores are clamoring to get this, and we expect it to do a tremendous amount of volume—at least 70% of the original.”

The Rebelle fragrance collection includes a 3.4 oz. eau de parfum priced at $59.00, a 1.7 oz. priced at $49.00 and a 6.7 oz. body lotion priced at $30.00.

ALDO LAUNCHES FRAGRANCE COLLECTION -Continued from Page 277

fragrance collection—A is for ALDO, which includes three women’s scents and two men’s.

To demystify the mystical nature of fragrance, ALDO has developed five entirely unique scents that link color to personality.

“A is for ALDO takes the discovery of which fragrance is made to be ours and turns it into play, similar to that of its packaging and name inspiration of the almost universal memory of linking letters to works and words to images,” said Douglas Bensadoun, creative director for ALDO. “Scents can be complex, but everyone knows their favorite color.”

To capture the diversity of the brand, ALDO worked with two fragrance houses, Givaudan and Robertet, in hopes of providing more than one olfactory perspective.

“Since the concept behind A is for ALDO is about finding your individual scent, we felt that it was very important for our fragrances to also originate from different individuals,” said Bensadoun. “It made sense for

Blue for her, developed by Givaudan perfumer Adriana Medina, is for the most popular girl on campus—a sexy, glamorous and seductive woman.

Red for her was created by Robertet perfumer Olivia Jan, who was inspired by the powerful vibration of the color red, and the sensual, passionate woman who loves to make a statement.

Yellow for him, developed by Givaudan perfumer Olivier Gillotin, was inspired by freshness, energy and adrenaline, and is for the casually sporty man.

And lastly, Red for him, also crafted

by Claude Dir, was inspired by the South of France and created for the man with classic taste and modern sensibilities.

Each block-shaped bottle, designed

by Maesa Group, is a first-of-its-kind and focuses on the details—Zamak metal gives the bottle a luxurious weight and a matte finish enhances the color typography, allowing it to pop in-store.

us to work with different noses and utilize their distinct visions. Depending on their background, their experience, their sensibility and personality, each perfumer created a very special and unique fragrance.”

Yellow for her , created by Givaudan perfumer Claude Dir, was inspired by lush summertime flowers in the Italian Riviera, and is for the girl who is chic, playful and alluring.

“ALDO projects close to $5 million in first-year sales, and sees enormous growth potential for the category,” said Bensadoun.

The new collection is available in all corporate markets, U.S., Canada, U.K. and Ireland in 682 stores, and at aldoshoes.com. It is priced at $15.00 for a 0.34 oz. rollerball, $25.00 for 1.0 oz. and $45.00 for 2.5 oz.

“We have seen very strong growth across all categories in the prestige market,” said Galfo. “Newness and strong positioning are what have kept people coming into stores, especially major launches like Hypnôse Mascara and Trésor Midnight Rose, which target a new, younger consumer.”

Although they represent different markets, Galfo in prestige and Kristo in mass, each woman understands the evolution of the consumer due to the explosion of the digital realm.

“We are dealing with a much more sophisticated consumer who likes to be involved with campaigns on Facebook and read ratings and reviews before making a decision to purchase,” said Kristo. “This really changes the way we market, and we need to focus on delivering the right message, at the right place, at the right time.

Although not everything is measurable, we learn something

from everything that we do in the digital space.”

Galfo added that the digital realm also creates a different level of communication in the marketplace.

“Things need to be simple, immediate and fast to maintain the attention of the consumer,” said Galfo. “We also have to be willing to share things about the brand that maybe we wouldn’t have shared before.”

While Galfo and Kristo know the importance of a strong strategic vision on the global front, they also know it comes with challenges, such as developing cross-cultural formulas and maintaining a universal brand identity.

“Although our products may look different around the world, our tagline, ‘Because we’re worth it,’ resonates the same everywhere,” said Kristo. “We need to continue celebrating the global heritage of the brand, while keeping it very close to American women’s hearts.”

piece to the her first fragrance, Purr, which debuted a year ago.

In partnership with Gigantic Parfums, Perry created ‘Meow!’ while on her world-tour promoting her platinum-selling second record, Teenage Dream. The fruity floral eau de parfum, developed with Givaudan, was created to be a wearable interpretation of the fun, sensual spirit of the tour, and pairs honeysuckle and pear with a backdrop of creamy vanilla, musk, and amber to embody Perry’s energy.

“Meow! is my second baby in the fragrance world,” said Perry. “I can’t wait for people to be able to experience my intriguing, amusing, candy-land like fantasy whenever they spritz it!

We have a lot of fun on tour so there’s a lot of fun infused in this bottle!

Meow! It’s simply the cat’s meow!”

Meow! is available at Nordstrom stores nationwide and Nordstrom.com, and is priced at $65.00 for 3.4 oz. and $45.00 for 1.7 oz.

“After achieving global success with ‘Purr by Katy Perry,’ the brand continues to positively gain presence in the marketplace,” said Isaac Lekach, CEO of Gigantic Parfums. “We see great potential with her brand and wanted to deliver a unique sister fragrance, Meow! to support and expound on that excitement.” ■CW

Also attending the fête was More Magazine, who has been partners with Giorgio Armani for several years with the goal of helping women to reinvent themselves.

In addition to joining the champagne toast, consumers were invited to stop by the beauty counter for complimentary makeovers and to meet with Tim Quinn, celebrity face designer and national director of creative artistry for Giorgio Armani Beauty, and Genevieve Monsma, beauty director at More Magazine.

“Saks has been so supportive of the brand, and has been the outlet for the bulk of our distribution,” said Quinn. “When Giorgio Armani Beauty started, we didn’t even have lip gloss, and now we’ve become a fully encompassed beauty line. Our makeup artists really know how to give the customer the full luxury Armani experience.”
