Halle Berry to debut her perfume
Yes, I can see the very softly, feminine vial of Halle-aroma on the department store counters. I must admit, I loved Mariah’s fun delicious smelling fragrance and I am expecting something classy from Halle. My recommended fragrance names: H., H. Berry, Halle, Halle Berry
Well, according to Women’s Wear Daily, Halle Berry is the latest celebrity to join the Coty Inc. fragrance portfolio of famous people such as: David and Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kimora Lee Simmons, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Kate Moss and Tim McGraw.
Berry’s fragrance products are due to launch globally next year in 2009, and while there is no confirmed report of how she stands to make from the deal, industry insiders reveal that a celebrity deal such as this one usually commands a $3-5 million upfront advance with royalties of 5 percent. The products will first be launched in midtier department stores such as JC Penney, then branch out to the mass market.
Berry in reportedly still under contract with Revlon, and her deal reportedly took the Revlon president and chief executive officer, David Kennedy by surprise. He responded to inquiries, "I am not aware of it. She is under contract with Revlon and she's under contract with us for some time."
And to think. I remember back in the 70s when Coty was that stinky smelling brand that would sit on the shelf but you’d still test it every now and then to see if the scent changed. They must be doing something right.
All I know is, it is going to be Berry, Berry sweet.
Reference:
Revlon don't be tryin' to start nothing. For everything that I have seen, Halle Berry has a cosmetics contract with Revlon, not perfume.
And girl, I was just telling someone else who wrote about this deal, just how bad Coty's stinky brothel smelling perfume used to be. Coty should've been named Cootie.
I sure hope that they deal with a new chemist.
