GANT SETS SAIL WITH FIRST SCENT GANT, a global lifestyle brand founded by Bernard Gant in 1949, is set to launch its first fragrance, GANT for men, in early November. Keeping true to the brand’s heritage in New Haven, Connecticut, the new scent was created to capture the nautical spirit of the New England coast.

The fragrance—developed by Robertet perfumers Pierre Wulff and Jérôme Epinette—was formulated with notes to suggest the fresh scent of the ocean and the woody aroma of boats.

To continually embrace the nautical theme, Pierre Dinand, renowned perfume bottle designer for over 50 years, worked with Stölzle to create an ocean blue, solid molded glass bottle with a surface resembling braided wicker that was used for making transport baskets on boats in the early days of seafaring.

encounters, partially guided by Sephora cast members, begins with the background of fragrance creation and design, from the molecular level to the use of raw materials, and how people think about and interact with scent. “Our goal is to educate consumers about the myths, history, and physiology of fragrance,” said Miranda Gordon, director of Creative Marketing Studio at Firmenich. “Perfumers are fine artists of the highest caliber, and their art is putting magic in the bottle. We want to share this magic with the world.” Proceeding to the ‘sensory deprivation encounter,’ guests are guided to enter closet-sized, foam-padded rooms where they can listen to an audio tape of real-life testimonials from people who have lost their sense of smell. The rest of the tour allows visitors to connect everyday actions and memories to scent, and discover how molecules and extractions blend together to form a complete fragrance that evokes a particular emotion. Once the journey is completed, guests are encouraged to visit the “Fragrance Bar”—the sixth and final “encounter”—in which they will smell unbranded scents to discover their preferences based on emotion, instead of marketing messages or bottle appearance. “Fragrance is such an important part of our business, and our clients
are always searching for the newest and most unique offerings,” said Sharon Rothstein, senior vice president of marketing for Sephora. “The Sensorium, created with the experience, knowledge and insight of Firmenich, offered us a tremendous opportunity to reengage, educate and excite about scent in an innovative way.” The Sensorium is exclusive to New York City, and tickets are available at sephora.com and on site for $15.00, which can redeemed for a purchase at any Sephora store, sephora.com or towards any fragrance offered at the Fragrance Bar. ■CW

“Everyone [globally] respects the roots of GANT as a first generation of American sportswear,” said DirkJan Stoppelenburg, CEO of GANT AB. “We want to reinvigorate GANT’s heritage in the U.S.” ■CW

On October 13, Grammy awardwinning superstar Taylor Swift celebrated the launch of her debut fragrance, Wonderstruck, with a personal appearance at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City. Three hundred lucky fans had the opportunity to meet and have their photo taken with the star, following their purchase of an exclusive All Access Wonderstruck Package for $135.00. “I’ve always wanted to have a fragrance ever since I started wearing perfume as a little girl,” said Swift, addressing her fans. “Now, a year in the making, I have my own and I am
so grateful. I had no idea what to expect, but this is a dream.” Working with Elizabeth Arden, the fragrance distributor, Macy’s streamed the appearance live on Swift’s
Facebook page, Macys.com and at 10 select Macy’s stores around the U.S. to give fans the opportunity to participate even if they couldn’t get to the store or buy the package.
“Taylor is so fan-oriented and wanted to touch people on a global level,” said Elizabeth Park, executive vice president of global marketing at Elizabeth Arden and general manager of EA USA. “This is the first time we’ve ever live-streamed a launch, and it really sets a precedence. It’s the Wonderstruck experience, and that’s what retail needs to be about at this point.” At each of the 10 participating Macy’s stores, viewing parties were held, offering refreshments, makeovers, glitter tattoos and more to shoppers and fans. “This launch is of such epic volume and we wanted to allow the world at large to see it and partake in the fun,” said Martine Reardon, executive vice president of marketing at Macy’s.

FRAGRANCE FOUNDATION HOSTS POP YOUR CORK The Fragrance Foundation’s Associate Board hosted their annual Pop Your Cork event at City Winery in New York City on October 18. Following the theme, “Wine and Chocolate,” a four-course tasting of food and wine, including a trio of chocolate desserts, was paired with fragrance accords created by Takasago’s Patricia Choux and Mane’s Vincent Kuczinski. “Tonight we’re introducing chocolate into the mix,” said Terry Molnar, executive director of The Fragrance Foundation. “We are interested to see how it inspires the chef, the wine connoisseur and the perfumers in different ways. The purpose of these events is to open your minds up to the idea of trying new things, and fragrance feeds the mind and soul the same way food and wine do.”
IFF’s Yvette Ross and Olivier Delcour.
Joshua Wesson, co-founder of Wine Cellars, demonstrated unique ways to sniff and taste wine, while teaching guests about different varietals and geographical regions. City Winery’s executive chef, Andres Barrera, created a delicious meal including roasted cauliflower soup and pomegranate glazed “free bird farms” chicken breast. Benjamin Auzimour, CEO of Richart USA, paired a chocolate trio dessert with corresponding dessert wines, leaving each guest’s sweet tooth completely satisfied. “It is definitely a challenge to translate the composition of wine into a fragrance,” said Choux. “But with no price limitations, and plenty of inspiration, I was able to develop these exclusive scents for you to enjoy.”

SHABAN AND SIGAL HONORED AT SKIN SENSE GALA The Skin Cancer Foundation held their annual Skin Sense Award Gala at The Plaza in New York City on October 11. Over 400 guests came together to honor Melisse Shaban, CEO of StriVectin, and Dr. Elliot Sigal, executive vice president, chief scientific officer and president of research and development for Bristol-Myers Squibb, for their outstanding efforts in promoting skin health. Television personalities Katie Couric, Sam Champion and Jerry Penacoli hosted the evening’s festivities, as each of them shared their own personal experiences with cancer, and their efforts to raise awareness about the disease. Dr. Perry Robins, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation, welcomed guests with remarks about new SPF regulations and advancements in the field over the past year, giving special recognition to The Skin Cancer
Foundation’s Photobiology Committee. “The Photobiology Committee determined SPF 15 as the minimum for sunscreens to be awarded our Seal of Recommendation,” said Robins. “Nearly 800 products now carry the Seal worldwide, and I am very proud to say it has set the standard for sun protection products that are safe and effective.” Bristol-Myers Squibb recently received FDA approval of YERVOY, a new treatment which will serve as a crucial tool in the fight against metastatic melanoma, and the first melanoma drug to receive FDA approval in 13 years. StriVectin is now at the forefront of skin care technology, using formulations that blend anti-aging properties with a key ingredient that was discovered through 30 years of skin cancer prevention research.

From 1993 through October 2011, close to $50 million in contributions to BCRF will have been raised by The Estée Lauder Companies’ brands and employees, and through fundraising initiatives with retail partners, helping the foundation to raise over $330 million since its inception.
