This is just a general comment: I'm sure everyone is sick and tired of all these “variations” of existing scents. Some are quite nice (ie. Givenchy's Organza Indecence), but most are just watered-down or jazzed up versions of their namesakes. The frenzy of marketing is definitely having a negative effect on the fragrance industry. How many of these unoriginal “variations” must we endure??
Presumably they sell? And I suspect they are cost-effective, in the sense that the marketing can build on existing brand image, rather than having to create and build a concept for a whole new line. There have been a few 'flankers' recently that seem to have little resemblance to the original scent – I think it's the marketing spend that's being avoided.
Seriously: it will never stop!
Exactly.
You're probably right! 🙂
