The New York Times has an interview with Coty CEO Bernd Beetz called "Celebrities, Their Drama and Perfume".
And news from the Hague: "The Netherlands' highest court on Friday ruled that perfumes are protected by copyright laws, in what industry experts said was only the second ruling of its kind in the world." Read the rest in The Toqueville Connection (link no longer working, sorry!).
Viktor & Rolf talk about their admiration for Rufus Wainwright in men.style.com. Wainwright has written a song for their new fragrance, Antidote.
It's great to hear about the change of copyright laws around fragrances. It really called for altering, many brands were suffering under those blatant copies. Btw, I've been a long-time reader of this blog and decided to sign up. My name's Guus, I'm from The Netherlands. Keep up the good work on this blog, it's very informative!
Hi Gus, welcome and thanks for the nice words! Agree on the copyright laws, and I'm sure Lancome is very pleased.
