Donald Trump Success by Trump ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 16 March 2012 20 Comments

Donald Trump Success by Trump

Donald Trump will launch Success by Trump, a new fresh aromatic fragrance for men, in April. It is Trump's second fragrance and the first under licensing arrangements with Five Star Fragrance. His debut scent, Donald Trump the Fragrance, launched in 2004 under arrangements with Estee Lauder and reportedly was not a big seller.

Success by Trump was developed by perfumer Yann Vasnier; notes include juniper, iced red currant, coriander, frozen ginger, bamboo leaves, geranium, vetiver, tonka bean, birch wood and musk.

Donald Trump Success by Trump will be available in 50 and 100 ml; it will be a Macy’s exclusive at launch time.

    If at first you don’t succeed, try try again, I suppose.

    Also, supremely ironic that this fragrance is announced on NST today, when the Trump family is under fire for hunting endangered wild animals. Success, my butt. Success is about more than money and conspicuous consumption.

      Oh my goodness – I just checked the news story and can’t believe these awful, bloodthirsty creeps. Killing beautiful animals and then justifying this by saying it was to feed the poor natives ……… Seems like the Trumps are all ghastly people who think that money can buy them anything (and that does indeed seem to be the case). Everyone should boycott this fragrance!

      I was once criticized by one of my coworkers for calling a certain public figure a loser. My coworker said “He’s a billionaire. How can he be a loser?” I answered that it had nothing to do with how much money a person has. You can have all the money in the world and still be a loser. It is a matter of character, not wealth.

        Sad, isn’t it? I was going to make a joke about this fragrance, but two things stopped me – the fact that I thinnk the man is a joke (and I can’t improve on that) and the sad story about hunting endangered animals.

    If Success isn’t a success, is he fired?

      Thats a good question. Can Success actually fail? It seems not. It has to succeed – by definition. Very similar to the Ontological argument for gods existence!

        Though Bob Dylan did posit that there’s no success like failure, and failure’s no success at all. Hrmmm.

      One way to look at it is that he’s already been “fired” by Estee Lauder. We’ll see if Five Star Fragrances bothers to do a followup!

        He trademarked his phrase “You’re fired!” which he uses at the end of each episode of the Celebrity Apprentice. I see his daughter’s products in stores and they’re quite nice but I can’t bring myself to buy and add to their coffers.

          I’m so out of it. Have never seen his show (although even I know that’s his phrase) and did not know he had a daughter, much less that she sold products.

    Trump boy killed an ELEPHANT for sport.

    Please don’t patronize anything to do with these vapid, self-aggrandizining and totally insensitive pieces of plastic.

    I’m guessing that the word ‘trump’ doesn’t carry the same meaning in the US as it does in the UK? Over here, it’s not really a word you’d want too closely associated with a fragrance…

    I’d rather wear “Failure” by Someone I’veneverheardof than this

    It would have been quite amusing if he had called it Triumph, by Trump!

    I don’t think this what society meant when they wanted Success, bottled.
