Based on the data collected and data analysis, the host company would get a general picture of the current perfume market situation which benefits their plan of entering the perfume retailing market as another source of income. A survey was distributed online to collect data and also data from previous research was used to either support or challenge the results of the data collected with the survey. The main population of the research was between 18 to 40 years of age, they were educated and had some kind of jobs to do. Half of them wore perfume often and they were willing to spend for quality. Scent and scent duration were the key factor in choosing which perfume to purchase. The main reasons for wearing perfume lay in the fact that perfume wearers felt more confident and attractive.

Because even beyond our important role to play in the history of fragrance, Britain is once again becoming a fragrant force to be reckoned with. At the Perfume Society HQ, barely a week goes by without news reaching us of art projects, collaborations and entire new fragrance brands that are completely (and in some cases, literally) home-grown. So we couldn’t be more proud to dedicate an entire edition to all the fragrant excitement on our doorstep. We start with a fascinating timeline of British perfume houses. On p.11-26, Suzy Nightingale shares the story of many of the famous names which illuminate our scented history, from Floris (founded in 1730 and still going strong on Jermyn Street, in London’s St. James’s), right up to today, with perfume houses like Floral Street, Ormonde Jayne and Shay & Blue flying the flag for home-grown scent creativity on the world stage. Meanwhile, down in Dorset’s Tarrant Valley, one new British perfume house is daring to make scents that take us from field to flacon. We’ve all heard about field-to-fork, in food circles; today, Parterre are doing that with fragrance.

Claiborne Cuts Outlook As Firms Batten Down To Cope With Economy By Evan Clark The pressure keeps growing on vendors and retailers. As global stock markets wheeze, credit markets drip and consumers hold onto their dollars tighter than a bear trap, the fashion industry scales back by the day to cope with the squeeze. The latest is Liz Claiborne Inc., which sharply cut 2008 financial projections and halved capital expenditures for 2009. “What we’re all seeing right now is a shutdown in discretionary spending,” William L. McComb, chief executive officer, told WWD. “Back-to-school didn’t happen, so that’s when the nose went down on the plane.” For the third quarter, the firm is expecting losses from continuing operations of 8 cents to 14 cents a share, down from year-ago earnings See Fashion, Page25 PHOTO BY KYLE ERICKSEN; MODEL: ANNA N. /ELITE; HAIR BY RYAN TANIGUCHI; MAKEUP BY MIZU FOR SUSAN PRICE; STYLED BY BOBBI QUEEN MIZU FOR SUSAN PRICE; STYLED BY MAKEUP BY TANIGUCHI; RYAN ERICKSEN; MODEL: ANNA N. /ELITE; HAIR BY KYLE PHOTO BY INSIDE: THE FASTEST GROWING FASHION MAGAZINE OF 2008 2 WWD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2008 WWD.COM Susan Sokol Named J.Mendel President By Marc Karimzadeh a bridal business into a fashion brand with de- signer rtw and sportswear.

While it’s a bit of a departure from Yi’s typical work (conceptual pieces that lie at the intersection of scent, experience, and science), the process did not differ all that much. Yi, alongside perfumer Barnabé Fillion, tested samples and balanced personal taste against political statements and science based decisions with an emphasis on fluidity. The three all natural fragrances were crafted to embody significant women in history and set a course for future generations, all while being gender-neutral and emphatically contesting the traditional confines of femininity. Biography will also riff upon sculpture. Yi has embedded the plastic, prismic perfume bottles with real, dead bugs. Yi has also created three short film trailers to accompany the perfumes. Set against a soundtrack of drips and light percussive beats, they feature shots of snails crawling on her sculpture, a tattooed arm emerging from sand, and computer-generated, robotic arms manufacturing perfume.
