Though celebrity fragrances may not actually be the smell of our much loved stars, it does
however provide a connection of sorts to them and that is what sells! Perfume companies such as
Avon, Coty and Elizabeth Arden see great value in partnering with celebrities as the fame and
recognition they bring into the relationship goes a long way even before marketing for the scent
begins. As celebrities already live their lives in the limelight and come with an established fan
base, their fragrances are almost always guaranteed to sell to this dedicated group regardless of
how it smells. Social media tools such as Twitter, Face Book and YouTube, not to mention the
various blogs out in cyberland, are awash with information on any given celebrity, and what better
way to advertise or market a product than with these tools-oh yeah…did we mention that this was
at virtually no charge to the perfume company?

The association of beauty and glamour to a celebrity is often the selling point of a fragrance.
White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor has been a best seller since it debuted in 1991 and
continues to be so even after her death, and though it is a very appealing scent on its own, it is for
many forever linked with the glamour of her youth. Among the newer fragrances Driven, by Derek
Jeter, is also a top seller. This is not to say that the armchair athlete who wears his cologne seeks
to emulate his prowess on the baseball field, but rather it is his persona that helps promote and
sell his cologne. Oftentimes fragrances for men are bought by women for their boyfriends and
husbands, and in instances such as this, athletic ability takes a back seat to the overall outward
appeal of the athlete as a whole.
In some countries around the world putting on a fragrance in the morning is a part of the daily
routine, however, this habit has never really caught on inNorth America. What better way to start
a trend, which would hopefully lead to a lifelong habit, than with the young or young at heart.
Many younger celebrities have been jumping onto the fragrance wagon in recent years which has
been an added boost to the industry-especially in theUnited States. As their time in the limelight
or achievements as a celebrity are not as grand as that of an Elizabeth Taylor or a Derek Jeter,
newer celebrities may need to rely more on a gimmick, an event or some type of tie in to anchor
their perfume. Katy Perry perfumes are known for their feline themed vessels while Gwen Stefani
has her scents in bottles styled after the fashionable girls found in the popular Shibuya area of
Harajuku Tokyo. Beyoncé's first perfume was inspired by her 2010 tour while P. Diddy/Puffy/Puff
Daddy/Sean John Combs has anchored his perfumes and colognes onto his fashion empire.
Regardless of how a fragrance is presented, marketed and even smells, celebrity scents have
become big business as fans clamor to purchase an affordable piece of their favorite celebrity in
the belief that this will bring them just a bit closer to their hero.
