To combat falling revenues Coach are expanding their fragrance business. Fans of Coach fragrances will now be able to pick up any of the company’s scents at department stores this month and internationally later this year.
The fragrances and cosmetics cases will be available at upscale department stores and cosmetics stores. Coach’s fragrances will be sold at Macy’s, Dillard’s, Von Maur, Bon-Ton, Belk, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor and Sephora. Buyers previously had to go to Coach boutiques to buy their products.
Coach has been cutting prices and expanding their lines to combat falling sales in the luxury goods market. This move to department stores can open the fragrance line up to new buyers that don’t visit Coach boutiques.
The Coach fragrance will keep the same price of $40 to $75 in department stores.

Real Style Network told you last week that Sarah Jessica Parker released a new fragrance SJP NYC. Sarah Jessica Parker is now telling the story behind SJP NYC.
According to StyleList the fragrance is inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker’s Sex In The City character Carrie Bradshaw. Sarah said, “I wanted to capture a freeze frame in Carrie’s life. A snapshot of her walking down her favorite street in the spring, in a floral dress.”
Sarah Jessica Parker said that the smell of SJP NYC surprised her. It reminds the actress of her childhood days of spring.
This is her sixth perfume. At this point, she is a bit of an expert on fragrances. She gave some tips on how to properly wear it.
“I’ve learned a thing or two about application,” Sarah Jessica Parker said, “We apply a fragrance, and then we rip it apart by rubbing our wrists together. The key is to apply it and just let it sit for awhile. No rubbing.”
SJP NYC is in stores across the country now.

We all know that fashion and beauty looks change from season to season, but should your fragrance change with your look?
Bella Sugar spoke with Victoria’s Secret fragrance expert Mark Knitowski about trends for spring scents. He said your fragrance doesn’t have to change with the season. Knitowski told readers to wear a scent as long as you feel comfortable. Although he did say that heavy, bold perfumes usually aren’t spring friendly.
So what is friendly for the warm seasons? Think about nature to get your inspiration. With plants in bloom in spring, Knitowski says trends are “green, watery, citrus-type of notes, especially for the spring season, combined with fresh florals.” Think about light scents for spring. He also mentions that you can find citrus and floral musks if something bolder is your style.
The new spring Victoria’s Secret fragrances are the light Heavenly Flowers (in stores in April) and Very Sexy Now (in stores now).

Over 500 fans purchased the $122 Heat fragrance gift set, setting a sales record of $60,000 for a first day fragrance launch. It’s now the best selling fragrance at Macy’s. Heat is touted as a distinct scent with notes of red vanilla orchid, magnolia, neroli, blushed peach, almond and musk.

“This scent is going to be at least as large as J.Lo,” said Bernd Beetz, chief executive officer of Coty Inc told WWD. While he declined to reveal exact sales projections, that would mean worldwide sales of at least $100 million at retail in the scent’s first 12 months on counter.

According to the New York Times, hair fragrances are becoming more and more popular. New hair fragrances are regularly being released and women seem to be responding to the new trend. We at Real Style Network have tried several hair fragrances and in many cases, we were impressed with the results. See below for three of our favourites.
The very popular Aquolina Pink Sugar perfume has its own Pink Sugar Hair Perfume ($15). A sweet and fun scent, it blends vanilla and caramel together to remind you of childhood memories and cotton candy. Fragrance notes include Sicilian orange, raspberry, cotton candy, vanilla, caramel and musk. Keep in mind, this hair perfume is quite popular and regularly sells out!
The classic fragrance Angel by Thierry Mugler has the Angel Hair Mist by Thierry Mugler ($35). It seduces with passionate notes like honey, dewberry, vanilla, patchouli and chocolate. This hair fragrance is long lasting and has a stronger scent than many others. Perfect for a club night or long evening out.
Clean Hair Fragrance by Fusion Brands ($39) is for those of you that don’t like traditional fragrances, but appreciate clean and soapy scents that smell like you just got out of the shower. A couple of sprays and your hair smells fresh all day. Perfect for everyday wear and great in the summertime.
You can pick up all of these hair fragrances at Sephora stores and Sephora.com.

In today’s beauty news, actress Halle Berry has just released her second fragrance titled Pure Orchid.
The floral, woody scent features notes of jungle cactus flower, lemon, blackberry creme, star anise, masdevallia orchid, giant sequoia and patchouli. Currently, the new fragrance is available only at Wal-Mart. Does this seem odd to you? We always envisioned products by Hollywood top actresses to be featured at high-end department stores like Barneys and Sephora, not necessarily Wal-Mart. We assume the idea is to appeal and sell to mass market and potentially make more money. If you’re interested, Halle Berry Pure Orchid is available in Eau de Parfum (15 ml) for approx $16.
In other fragrance news, 2010 will mark the launch of many celebrity fragrances including scents by Rihanna, Kanye West, singer Fergie, Eva Longoria, Sean John, Gwen Stefani, Shakira, another fragrance by Jennifer Lopez titled Blue Glow by JLO and another fragrance by Sarah Jessica Parker called SJP NYC.
