as an established leader in the fashion footwear category, Nine West is making its foray in the fragrance industry with the introduction of its first scent, Love Fury, which will be paired with a new specially designed Love Fury branded pump.

“We are very proud of Love Fury, our first collaboration with, and signature fragrance from, Nine West,” said Jean Madar, chairman and CEO of Inter Parfums. “Love Fury is for the woman who loves the privileges of being a woman, from wearing high-heeled pumps to using fragrances’ power to seduce. The Love Fury woman is sexy and passionate, but above all, once noticed, she is not easily forgotten.”


Most U.S. retailers, both in-store and online, saw success this holiday season, with an increasing number of bargain-hungry shoppers entering stores and sites to act on a heavily promotional environment.

Deep discounts and free shipping sparked record sales this holiday season for online merchants, with approximately $37 billion in spending, but the consumer was the big winner, taking advantage of extensive last-minute markdowns.

Macy’s and Limited Brands delivered better than expected sales numbers for December, and raised their profit outlooks for 2012. Nordstrom and Saks Fifth

Avenue also reported strong sales gains, as wealthy shoppers continued to boost the luxury segment.

Big chains like Target and JC Penney, who posted weaker results, were inclined to blame mild winter temperatures, which hurt sales of winter apparel and other winter merchandise.

The outlook for sales in 2012 is solid, although economists say there is little room for a big increase in spending. Because consumer spending accounts for nearly 70% of the economy, general growth is likely to be sluggish due to essen-tially flat incomes, modest job growth and new jobs in low-paying sectors.

Perfumania and Parlux Fragrances announced that they have signed a definitive merger agreement under which Perfumania will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Parlux in a transaction valued at approximately $170 million, based on Perfumania’s closing stock price of $19.55 per share on December 22.

This strategic transaction, which is expected to create a more efficient and competitive company that would provide greater value to stockholders and better service to the parties’ customers, has been unanimously approved by the independent com-mittees of the Boards of Directors of both companies, and expected to close in the first half of 2012.

“The combination of Perfumania and Parlux is a major step toward building a more significant and financially stronger designer fragrance and beauty products company,” said Mike Katz, president and CEO of Perfumania. “Parlux brings a wealth of products and expertise as a licensee, manufac-turer and international distributor.”

Under the merger agreement, Parlux stockholders may elect to receive, for each share of Parlux common stock that they own, either $4.00 in cash plus 0.20 shares of Perfumania common stock, or 0.53 shares of Perfumania common stock, both of which are subject to certain adjustments.

“The Parlux management team and Board of Directors are focused on maximizing value for stockholders,” said Fred Purches, chairman and CEO of Parlux. “This combination achieves that objective by providing our shareholders with a significant

premium over the current trading price for their shares as well as the ability to participate in the anticipated growth of a significantly stronger, combined company that is well positioned to deliver long-term value to stockholders and a broader range of product to its valued customers.”

Terms of the merger agreement state

that Parlux may solicit acquisition proposals from third parties for 30 days from the date of the merger agreement.

The Nussdorf family, which con-trols close to 82% of Perfumania’s stock and 11% of Parlux’s outstanding shares, is expected to continue to own a majority of the retailer’s stock following the deal.

MAKE UP FOR EVER ACADEMYCEO of Make Up For Ever. “We are thrilled to be opening the Make Up For Ever academy to share our expertise and passion with the next generation of makeup artists, as well as to become the leader in makeup education throughout the americas.”

Since 2002, when the brand’s creator and artistic director Dany Sanz opened the first academy in Paris, a crop of other academies utilizing the Make Up For Ever teaching methods have been established throughout the world in cities such as Seoul, Hong Kong, Brussels and Singapore.

“We want to enhance each student’s experi-ence by incorpo-rating state of the art learning tools into a relaxed, comfortable envi-ronment,” said JP McCary, general manager of Make Up For Ever North america. “The space allows each student to have their own makeup station, and features professional lighting, an in-house photo studio for regular shoots, and a photo/video space where students can capture and critique their work in a profes-sional way.”

The academy curriculum offers three unique modules ranging in length from seven to 20 weeks, offering courses in Beauty-Fashion, TV-Film and Stage-artistic. From day makeup to special effects for cinema, every facet of makeup artistry is covered to ensure the most in-depth training.

The school will be led by Floriane David, a former student of Dany Sanz who has worked with the brand

as an educator since 1992. The academy will also host guest lecturers and connect students with makeup artists working in assorted aspects of the industry to experience a variety of styles and backgrounds.

“The Make Up For Ever academy teaches every aspect of artistry from beauty to body painting because we wanted to provide an all-encompass-ing education,” said David. “It is geared toward beginners looking for intense, all-encompassing make up training, as well as professionals

looking to hone their skill set and perfect their tech-nique. Beauty & Fashion covers all aspects of make-up artistry and helps s tudents understand color theory, master basic techniques

and learn about the history of make-up. as the courses progress, students will challenge themselves with TV & Film where they will learn how to create effects such as scarring and aging makeup. In Stage & artistic, they will create fantasy makeup and learn the art of creating characters. Overall, the program is very well rounded and teaches all facets of the industry to ensure students are able to achieve their personal goals.”

No previous formal makeup application experience is required for program part icipation, but students should exhibit a strong connection to the art of makeup and have a desire for a career as a profes-sional artist. For more information visit makeupforeverusa.com/mufe/academy/.

NINE WEST DEBUTS FIRST FRAGRANCE

The juice, developed by Firmenich perfumers I l ias Ermenidis and Honorine Blanc, is a woody floral Oriental with notes of mandarin, san-dalwood, and orris flower to create an intoxicating, mysterious allure.

“Love Fury, inspired by a book titled Furious Love, that is centered in the whole idea of a passionate love affair,” said Fred Allard, creative director for Nine West. “There is a strong connection between the seductive statement that a woman makes with her shoes and fragrance, as both are seen as ultimate weapons of attraction. Love Fury successfully captures the passion and addiction of the Nine West consumer.”

Inspiration for the bottle design came from the idea of a “killer” heel breaking through glass—aggression that is then balanced by a feminine, sensual, nude and pink juice. a heavy glass flacon in a classic square shape with beveled edges is topped with a black lacquered cap made to resemble an ultra-glamorous stiletto heel.

The launch of the Love Fury pump, a platform, pointed-toe style available in black satin and an array of other colors and fabrics, will tie the fragrance back to the heritage of the brand and illustrate the parallel synergy of footwear and fragrance as weapons of attraction. Inter Parfums used LiquaTouch, a sampling technology developed by Arcade Marketing, to

include branded fragrance samples in Nine West Love Fury shoeboxes.

The new scent will be available this month at select Nine West stores both in the U.S. and internationally, as well as at select Macy’s stores,

ninewest.com and macys.com.The Love Fury eau de parfum col-

lection will be priced at $18.00 for a 0.3 oz. rollerball, $45.00 for 1.7 oz. and $55.00 for 3.4 oz., and the Love Fury pump will retail for $89.00.

BEAUTY BAR OPENS FLAGSHIP STOREexplore the beauty products they love with the opening of a brick and mortar boutique.

This new flagship, located at the americana Manhasset in Manhasset, New york, provides a carefully-curated assortment of domestic and international brands available on the website, as well as in-store salon treatments, makeup artistry and a blow dry bar to enhance the shopping experience.

“The new store caters to consumers who are l ook ing f o r mo re selective, hard-to-find brands l ike Natura Bissé and REN, while still in need of the tried and true essentials,” said Katina Mountanos , s i t e d i r e c t o r f o r BeautyBar.com. “The store will also offer the most premium fragrance brands from Bond No. 9 New York to Annick Goutal, and will constantly update to feature industry newness.”

The store’s design element includes an apothecary-type feel with built-in wooden shelves and lots of white space and bright light.

“It was important that we create the brick and mortar equivalent of a website-based company,” said Mountanos. “Makeup is highlighted in the center of the store, with brands like Smashbox, Sisley-Paris and Deborah Lippmann, and the surrounding walls

feature skin care, fragrance, hair care, men’s grooming and personal care brands like Go SMiLE.”

Five employees will be on staff at all times, including a licensed esthetician for facial and waxing services in the treatment room, and professionally-trained makeup artists. Beauty Bar has partnered with “Long Island favorite,” nuBest Salon, to offer blow outs and styling to shoppers.

“NuBest is a perfect match for the Beauty Bar boutique and really takes the store to another level,” said Mountanos. “The partnership gave us a great opportunity to get involved with the ‘dry bar’ trend.”

BeautyBar is now tackling the challenge of how to market their digi ta l company in traditional media. In collaboration with adver-

tising agency Tribal DDB, Beauty Bar created a way for consumers to dis-cover and shop “of-the-moment looks” through the touch of a smartphone.

“The new BeautyBar.com print advertisement, featuring a model wearing this season’s looks, is highly interactive and shows flexibility with our technology platform,” said Mountanos. “We are developing ways to create consumer engagement from a static, flat print ad, and we’ve received great feedback so far.”

Marie Claire has launched a new app for iPad called Backstage Beauty Trends, which is exclusively sponsored by Chanel. available now at the app Store for $0.99, Backstage Beauty Trends features the latest runway trends selected by the magazine’s beauty editors, as well as an interactive makeup tester, how-to guide and e-commerce tools.

The virtual makeup tester tool (pictured l e f t ) a l lows users to select their own skin tone and apply makeup right on the iPad using custom-ized palettes

of Chanel makeup. Showcasing the latest runway trends from New york to Paris, how-to tips and corresponding products to get the looks, the app is also linked with chanel.com’s e-com-merce engine so users can purchase makeup straight from the app via the “Makeup Bag” shopping cart.

“We are excited to partner with Chanel on the Backstage Beauty Trends app which will provide both brands’ tech-savvy female customers with the opportunity to play and express themselves with makeup in an exciting new way,” said Nancy Berger Cardone, VP, publisher and chief revenue officer for Marie Claire.

In honor of Kate Moss’s 10 years as the face of Rimmel London, the brand is launching Lasting Finish Lipsticks—a five-piece collection created exclusively by Kate Moss.

“My inspiration for this range was really to create a range of easy to wear, chic, mod-ern shades that I have always worn and loved,” said Moss. “From bright reds to soft pinks and nudes, there is a shade for every-

one and any occasion. It was also really important for me that they were comfortable to wear. Whatever your outfit, there is sure to be a shade to match!”

Housed in matte black bullets adorning Moss’s signature in bold red, the new lipsticks are reflective of Moss’s chic rocker style. a black diamond pigment complex provides radiant, all-day color, while vitamins C and E give essential antioxidant protection.

The collection is available this month at mass market retailers and drugstores nationwide, and is priced at $5.49 each.

COSMOPOLITAN’S STRATEGY TO REACH HISPANIC MARKETCosmopolitan recently announced that the title is developing a strategy to help advertisers reach the growing Hispanic market. The magazine is creating a Cosmo-branded editorial package aimed at the English-speaking Hispanic audience that will include a twice-yearly stand-alone print and digital edition called Cosmopolitan Latina to launch in May 2012, as well as bonus content in targeted copies of the monthly edition of Cosmo.

“Today, Cosmo reaches nearly one in four Hispanic women in the U.S. over the age of 18 and is the number one monthly magazine in English that reaches Latinas,” said Donna Kalajian Lagani, SVP, publishing director and chief revenue officer of Co s m o p o l i t a n . “advertisers are focusing sharply on the Hispanic market, but the untold story is that the new genera-tion of Latina is consuming her media in English, and is looking for content that is just for her. We feel that Cosmo is uniquely positioned to help advertisers reach this audience.”

Michelle Herrera Mulligan, formerly of LasFabulosas.com, has been tapped as editor of the new stand-alone edition, which will feature nearly 50% beauty-related editorial developed by Herrera Mulligan and her staff of beauty experts and freelancers.

“Beauty coverage will include all aspects of beauty from lips to eyes to skin care to hair and nails, with an emphasis on the dramatic, sexy looks that Latinas love, that celebrate confidence and boldness,” said Kalajian Lagani. “a few possible top-ics: summer hair guide for curly hair, natural beach waves, how to look

sun-kissed (and not sunburned), how to go blonde/redhead as a Latina, how to find foundation and lip colors that match Latina skin, the latest technology on removing dark spots (without breaking the bank), confi-dence-building body beauty (cellulite-busting massage tools), etc.”

To k ick o f f t he in i t i a t ive , Cosmopolitan partnered with Aegis Media’s Carat to share key findings from a groundbreaking new research study, CCS Latino, with the media community.

“The research clearly shows that there is a sizable segment of the female Hispanic population that feels strongly about both their Latina

a n d a m e r i c a n sides,” said Laura Hernandez, SVP of multicultural for Carat. “She is making s t rong, i n d e p e n d e n t brand choices , and t radi t ional Latino channels are not meeting her media needs. as we continue seeing the evolu-

tion to ‘Total Market,’ this is the kind of untapped opportunity for the media community that Cosmo is taking a pioneering role in.”

Kalajian Lagani also commented on results from the study, saying, “It was revealed that Latina consumers were much more independent in their brand decisions—the old perception was that they just made the same choices as their mothers and grandmothers, and that they rely heavily on family’s recommen-dations. Results also showed that Latinas index higher for beauty purchases than the general population, and if their favorite beauty brand featured a Latina model/celebrity in their advertising, they would like [the brand] even more.” ■CW
