Jennifer Aniston, one of last megawatt Hollywood stars not to have her name on a fragrance, is expected to reveal shortly that she has signed a deal with the Falic Group to launch a scent, perhaps later this year.
— From Jennifer Aniston Said in Fragrance Deal at Women's Wear Daily.
P. Diddy was accompanied by a team of perfume sprayers on a recent night out.
The rapper amazed revellers at London's Runway club by having the DJ play a 30-minute set of his songs to signal his arrival and then insisting on having his own Sean John fragrance sprayed into the room every 20 minutes.
— From P. Diddy's Perfume Party at Contact Music.
I thought I heard she was signing with Coty. Oh well just another scent that will be to much like the other celeb scents.
Falic Group does Perry Ellis, and they did the new Eva Longoria scent. Can’t think of what else.
Also launched Hard Candy fragrances and bought the licensing (from LVMH) to Lacroix which succumbed to the economy. Falic also has a chain of duty-free shops. They’re based in FL.
Thanks.
I’m not sure, but I think that I might have to punch someone if they sprayed a room with Sean John every 20 minutes.
Or leave…. that might be less likely to land me in jail.
LOL!
Yeah. That’s a lot of Sean John in the air.
and considering that many of the partiers were probably wearing some fragrance as well…..yikes! What a smelly place that must have been. Even though the only Sean John I’ve smelled is Unforgivable Woman (horrible name, but decent fragrance) —I wouldn’t want it shoved in my face every 20 minutes! Oh, and I wouldn’t want his tunes foisted upon my ears for 30 minutes either. The arrogance there is overwhelming!
Completely justifiable…..I’d come bail you out.
Re: P.Diddy, gross. And tedious.
Yep.
The Falic Group is also launching Eva Longoria’s fragrance. Looks like it’s going to be a mass-appeal product.
Dlisted hosted a “Name Jennifer’s Perfume” contest:
Winner:
“Sourpuss” – With the energizing aroma of apple cider vinegar and supple hints of stagnant Snapple lemonade, one whiff of Sourpuss will have you pout and look generally pissed off at the world just like superstar Jennifer Aniston. Pairs perfectly with Ed Hardy cologne for the man in your life … but if you’re like Jennifer, you probably don’t have one. – TheGoldenBoyNC
Ouch!!
Wow, I wouldn’t have told JA could elicit such comments!
She seems… inoffensive… and I’ve never saw her pouting. Pouting is trademark of french beauties like BB, sorry.
It was women day a couple of days ago, and TheGoldenBoyNC must have missed that you don’t need a man in your life to be succesful/happy/achieved.
Many women WITH men in thier lives are utterly unhappy, frustrated, and wear sweat pants OUTSIDE a Gym.
(OK, maybe JA wears sweatpants outside the Gym. She is not a french icon, we allowed that).
Anyway, if JA calls her fragrance “The Hair”, I’ll buy it! 😉
Kidding aside, one part of me hopes she does something like Kai…
Yeah, she seems like decent person to me. I can think of a lot more celebrities that would be more deserving of the verbal venom.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who loathe Jennifer Aniston. Not me, I think she’s great, but there seem to be quite a few people who hate her because they’re on Angelina’s “side”. Why a bunch of people who’ve never met anyone involved in the situation have to pick a side is beyond me, but there you have it.
I’ve never understood this phenomenon, either. Besides, I’m a bit tired of JA being typecast (in celeb gossip) as the spurned woman and AJ being typecast as some kind of activist-saint. Not that I care much about either of them, but I’m sure the truth is more complicated in both cases. It just seems like AJ had/has better spin doctors.
Taking sides between two celebrities seems quite a waste of emotional energy to me…
I will never understand those people that are in awe or despise some celebs, unless they’re talking about their performance – of course ;). They should drive their critical efforts towards those people who truly affect our lives – from politicians to those who decide for them. Well, whatever.
I keep hoping for “the hair”… 😉
I mostly just find her boring as boring can be… though I liked that one movie, “Friends with Money.”
I’m not a fan. It seems like every magazine article/tabloid blurb on her is at least partially about her inability to move on from her ex-husband. It’s like, I’m really sorry, man, but you just look pathetic complaining about Brad and AJ every time someone pegs you to to a magazine. And the whole media outcry of “Poor Jen, she needs to find true love and a baby” is equally pathetic. 😛
I’m with Zazie on this one…
Not taking sides, just sayin’. Being angry about politicians and those who control them def takes more energy. Especially when you’re fascinated with that kind of thing.
Yes, if they call it “The Rachel” I will buy it. 😉
“goldenboys” comment is far sourer than JA could ever be.
From now on, I go NOWHERE without my team of perfume sprayers.
Ditto.
Same here!
LOL That Diddy sure thinks highly of himself – gotta hand him that. 😀
For the amount of money he’s probably paying them he’s better off getting a dozen of those motion detecting air fresheners!
Yes, I’m going there–tell me I’m not the only one who reads the company name as the “Phallic Group”!
Well, is there any another way to pronounce it? 😉
Not when you have the sense of humor of a thirteen-year-old boy, as I have! 😀
I don’t think we’ve ever posted their name without someone going there 😉
I’m just glad I wasn’t the only immature one who thought that.
Uh – DITTO! LOL
double ditto….it was the first thing I thought…
Second thing I thought was “holy cow, I’m probably the only one going omg: PHALLIC!!”
Gee, glad we’re all so dirty 😉
Right there with you!
I’m just surprised it took so long for someone to comment on it! And yes, my mind’s in the gutter too.
Mine isn’t (today)… I think it’s just truly unavoidable. Pretty sure that only a person who has never heard the word phallic could avoid that thought.
Checked the WWD link but before I could get to Jennifer Aniston I got seriously distracted by the video from the article WWD Exclusive: First Look at Calvin Klein’s Racy Men’s Underwear Campaign. Ayayayiiiiiiiii!!!!!!
I missed that…had to go back. That is hysterically funny. I mean, if the CK brand wants to go on shocking people, obviously they’ve got to up the ante every time, right? I fully expect in the next campaign to see actual sexual contact.
Man, the way those dudes were tugging down their elastic hip bands I thought they were really going to go for it. Next campaign . . . 😉
I was really expecting full frontal nudity. See, CK has upped the ante so badly that now they disappoint me if all they do is cuss up a storm. LOL!
Nowhere to go but down — literally. 😉
I’m imagining how “Jen” might smell: a pensive mix of cigarette smoke, margarita’s, and an old sweatshirt that Brad left behind when he moved out.
*Dzing* indeed! And two snaps and a circle! lol
I am really neutral on Jennifer A. I feel however, that she should not enter the fragrance realm (celebs should not in general). If I like the fragrance and want to wear it, I don’t want to be linked to her or anyone else. This just annoys me to no end. Why do they have to put their name on a fragrance? Its not like they don’t already infiltrate our lives with the onslaught of their pictures/movies, or aren’t making enough $$$.
Sorry, I am just fed up with the whole celebrity thing and don’t want it contaminating MY fragrance life!

If you like the fragrance and want to wear it why would you care who it’s linked to? what we’re supposed to care about is the juice, right??? Why do designers put their names on fragrances? They didn’t make the juice
Exactly!
(I don’t care, that is the point!)
I get your point. The only thing that sort of bugs me about celebrity fragrances (other than the fact they are generally boring) is the idea that they know all about perfumes. I’m pretty sure I know more about perfume than Britney or Jessica. I’m probably just jealous that they were involved in the creative process of perfumery. More or less – probably less, but I would love to do that. Guess I should start saving up for a bespoke fragrance.
Oh yeah. SO done with celeb culture. Luckily it is relatively easy to ignore.
So I’m with you on the fume, too. The fact is, if the marketing turns me off, I’m not going to go try to expand my mind by seeking out a fume I’m not remotely interested in.
I like JA – she, appears to be anyway, rather down to earth and nice [and I certainly wouldn’t mind looking like her and having her figure – she sure has a great body]. But – if she’s not a perfumista, not really having high hopes for her fragrance. Of course I’ll sniff it, but I’m not optimistic. Out of all the celeb fragrances saturating the market, there certainly aren’t very many good ones.
I’m just going to ditto everything you posted on this thread. 😀
Moi aussi. 🙂
Y yo tambien!
Not that I have a “favorite”… but these two have to be two of my least favorite celebrities. I commented on JA above, no need to reiterate.
P Diddy…. well, the man just seems so arrogant, everything I hear about him is eye-roll inducing. And seriously? every 20 minutes? I guess you’d get used to it after a while.
Okay, this is Patty Positive signing off. 🙂
He is annoying, far more so than JA.
I had to laugh over the P. Diddy bit. Seriously? Wouldn’t all that cologne spraying interfere with the fanning with peacock feathers and feeding of peeled grapes he must also have been enjoying from scantily clad Playboy bunnies or some such? *rolls eyes* The only time an entourage of spritzing followers would come in handy is during diaper changing time, trips to the mall (walking past the food court, Yankee Candle and VC/BBW in particular come to mind) or when the river here is kicking up an unusually awful funk and we happen to be down wind of it.
And the JA perfume? Sounds like just another celebrity perfume I won’t go out of my way to try. Might be great, might be boring. I’m pretty neutral at this point. It seems like AJ would be involved in launching a more interesting perfume, but I had the same hopes for SJP and those tanked after the release of her first two. Considering I barely know who any of these “celebrities” are these days, it’s no loss either way. Give me Ava, Marlene, Greta, jean or even Theda as the inspiration for a new bombshell oriental or floral and then I’ll really get excited.
It is funny. Esp. the man who just holds his jacket and scarf. Ha.
Jennifer’s fragrance should be called “Rachel” or “The Rachel”.
Probably too dated now! Bet there are lots of people who wouldn’t know what it meant.
Or it could be called Friend. She does seem friendly after all.
She does.
Okay, a thoughtful perfume called “Friend” sounds like something I might try. Unless they include Joey.
