Calvin Klein is an American fashion designer and accessories company that made its name with its brand of jeans. Brooke Shields, teen starlet at that time, catapulted the line of jeans to infamy with the line: ”Nothing comes between me and my Calvins.” Calvin Klein is greatly respected for its line of women and menswear. They did try to venture into perfumes for a while, but ultimately failed, selling their name to Coty Inc. to try to continue the line of fragrances using the Calvin Klein name.
Calvin Klein is stirring the pot again, this time with its new fragrance called CK IN2U. It is notable for being the first fragrance to be launched in an online virtual reality world, Second Life.

The notes used throughout this perfumes are: red currant leaves, bergamot, pink grapefruit, sugar orchid, white cactus, red cedar, amber, and vanilla. The packaging, unfortunately, resembles a carafe of wine, the kind with a cork made of plastic.
The ads for this fragrance that was launched in 2006 appear to be targeted to co-eds and teens. The fact that the product was launched in Second Life, also leads one to believe that the scent is being marketed for young adults. Regardless, this is a scent that can be worn during the day. It is meant to be trendy and pleasing to the masses. It has heavy citrus top notes of grapefruit, which quickly tones down. The low notes of amber and vanilla are also a crowd-pleaser. While the fragrance itself is not highly innovative and slightly reminiscent of Calvin Klein CK One, the way it is being marketed is ingenious and modern.

Britney Spears, the famous pop artist, has many credits to her name. She is a singer, a songwriter, an actress, and a mother. She was discovered in Disney’s famous Mickey Mouse Club where she was a mouseketeer. Since then, her career has skyrocketed bringing her international fame. As such, she is beginning to establish a line of products with her name. Her perfume line seeks to capitalize on her public image, which is one of daring innocence on the one hand and steaming temptress on the other. Her perfumes can be named something as innocuous as “Curious” to her recent “Midnight Fantasy,” which gives a broad view of the play on her public persona. Like most celebrity perfumes, the artist lends their name as an endorsement to an established company who uses it to market a fragrance based on the characteristics of that famous person. Elizabeth Arden is manufacturing the fragrance Midnight Fantasy.
Midnight Fantasy is a sexier version of the original Fantasy perfume. It comes in a very beautiful blue bottle. The top notes are: black cherry, framboise, and plum. The middle notes are: night blooming orchid, iris, and freesia. The base notes are: amber, musk, and vanilla.
The problem with celebrity perfumes is that their popularity can ebb and flow with the artist that endorses them. This is the case with Midnight Fantasy, which had very poor sales in January 2007, when Britney began suffering some dings to her public image. This can be an indication that the scent is not pleasing or that the public had second thoughts about owning something with the name of Britney Spears. Sales are now rebounding, so it appears to have been the latter, which is sad for a perfume that could stand on its own merits.
As stated by Catwalk Queen the newest Britney Spears baby Believe, is also made and promoted by Elizabeth Arden, wow !!! What a surprise ha ?
