I spray a lot of freakin’ fragrance on

Posted by on Leave a Comment

When Lovely came out, I would always describe her as a really polite fragrance, that she had social grace. It was as if she stepped into somebody else's world but it was very passive, so that people wouldn't object to whatever she left behind. It was just a really nice balance of "I'm here. I'm announcing myself, but I don't want to come too close. I don't want to invade your space," and it's one of the things I'm most proud of. I know, because I spray a lot of freakin' fragrance on. I go through it.

Sarah Jessica Parker SJP NYC perfume

SJP NYC is the latest release from Sarah Jessica Parker. It’s a tie-in with her upcoming movie, Sex and the City 2, and is meant to be a reflection on the fictional character Carrie Bradshaw as opposed to a reflection on Sarah Jessica Parker herself. Which works out very well for Coty, apparently, since they’ve found that Sarah Jessica Parker is not always an easy sell:

In the case of actress Sara Jessica Parker, Coty has had varied experiences. Lovely, which was easily relatable to Parker’s television persona, was a success. Covet, meanwhile, which tapped into a different side of the celebrity, proved a bigger challenge. [Catherine] Walsh explained that Coty’s next launch with Parker, SJP NYC, again focuses on the personality that the consumer wants.1

And the personality that the consumer wants, apparently, smells like strawberry. I suppose I should stop here and admit that I was never a fan of Sex and the City, although I did sit through several episodes at the urging of friends who found the show mesmerizing…
