Gaga Expected To Make 100MIL in 1st Year Perfume Sales!



The ad campaign, which will begin running in September fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazines including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, was shot by Steven Klein and includes double-page spreads and single pages.

TV is in the plans, and Klein also worked with Gaga to create a three-minute feature film promoting the scent, which will appear online in the U.S.

While executives declined to comment on advertising and promotional spending, industry sources estimated the warchest at about $30 million globally in the scent’s first year.


Gaga is also scheduled to make personal appearances in promotion of the scent globally, with retailers and timing still being planned. Gaga will also host a party Sept. 13 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York to introduce the scent to the media. While keeping mum on specifics, Semerari quipped, “There will be theater...she’s not the kind of person who just shows up and says hello.”

Lady Gaga Fame will be carried in about 3,000 department and specialty stores in the U.S. — including Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora — and in about 30,000 doors in total globally in 84 markets. In the U.S., the scent will enter what Mormoris calls tier one department stores (such as Macy’s) first, followed six months later by tier two doors such as Ulta and Sephora in J.C. Penney locations. Mormoris emphasized that the scent “will never be a mass-market fragrance.”

While Gaga and executives declined to comment on projected sales, industry sources estimated that the scent would achieve net sales globally of $100 million in its first year on counter, with at least 30 percent expected to come from U.S. sales. While Coty declined comment on Gaga’s compensation, industry sources estimated that Gaga has been guaranteed a minimum of $15 million in royalties in a three- to five-year deal.

When asked whether Gaga’s new fragrance could anniversary the huge numbers ($39 million at retail) racked up last year by Justin Bieber’s women’s fragrance, Muriel Gonzalez replied, “we think so.” The executive vice president and general merchandise manager of cosmetics, fragrances and shoes at Macy’s Inc., continued, “We think that Lady Gaga has got a huge following. She’s been so personally involved, which the Coty people will tell you, in every aspect of the fragrance from its color, to the bottle to the material’s use. It is going to be a huge advantage, because she is so involved with the project that she will be tweeting her fans, her Little Monsters. I think they are going to be very curious about it. The project is very, very well done. All of these celebrity fragrances have been very successful for us in bringing in customers to Macy’s. Some of them are new customers — new to fragrance, new to Macy’s — and we think this will be no exception. We think it will be very big.”

Le Masterpiece – 79$ (100ml)
Regular – 55$
30 ml - 42$
Rollerball Version – 19$
Black Soap (available in August in limited distribution) – 15$

These aren't horrible prices. I doubt it will be as good as Curious!

fantasy was my shit in middle school
h0tfuss 13th-Jul-2012 08:11 pm (UTC)
I still wear Curious when I go out and I'm 27! It turns into this like...cherry baby powder on me.
belle_chouette 13th-Jul-2012 08:13 pm (UTC)

rocknrollroots 13th-Jul-2012 08:32 pm (UTC)
Radiance is my new favourite.
amethystcitrine 13th-Jul-2012 08:00 pm (UTC)
If this stuff smells good you can fucking bet I will buy at least two bottles.
superboy 13th-Jul-2012 08:02 pm (UTC)
I feel like the black liquid~ part would put me off from wearing it. I imagine it smells like a xenomorph.
gigglyvapidslut 13th-Jul-2012 08:02 pm (UTC)
le masterpiece? seriously?

all this PR campaigning shit and not a word on the actual nose who composed the fragrance or the notes
not buying what they're selling so far
vanishingbee 14th-Jul-2012 12:00 am (UTC)
Well the structure is different so t's not the tradition setup of scents apparently. But we did et that apricot/orchid/belladonna description.
judgmental 13th-Jul-2012 08:03 pm (UTC)
lol @ them admitting that Little Monsters are tacky and shop at Sears so they've never been into Macy's
jinnycalderone 13th-Jul-2012 08:12 pm (UTC)
w/e, i go to macys all the time.

walking through to get to the mall parking lot doesn't count

I didn't want to sound like a bitch because I know you're one of the few nice Gaga stans but that joke was just too easy to let it go.
amethystcitrine 13th-Jul-2012 08:17 pm (UTC)
What?
cherubrawk 13th-Jul-2012 08:18 pm (UTC)
lmao @ u acting like macy's is that much more superior to sears. Macy's is still cheap
kindafunnysad 13th-Jul-2012 10:16 pm (UTC)
lol macy's is just as tacky.
no_urges 13th-Jul-2012 08:04 pm (UTC)
the article says the commercial was shot by steven klein, though, not jonas akerlund.
cherubrawk 13th-Jul-2012 08:06 pm (UTC)
Oh yeah I messed that one up lol
no_urges 13th-Jul-2012 08:11 pm (UTC)
she was hanging out with jonas recently, though, so hopefully they're filming the video for her first single while she's on break!

i'm just excited (and thankful) she's working with actual directors again.
ritzyroxie 13th-Jul-2012 08:05 pm (UTC)
Hopefully she's given the Manzos a cut, seeing how she completely ripped off their business.
scheisse 13th-Jul-2012 08:08 pm (UTC)
except that makes 0 sense
ritzyroxie 13th-Jul-2012 08:10 pm (UTC)
except that it makes perfect sense, seeing as she's unoriginal as hale.

amethystcitrine 13th-Jul-2012 08:11 pm (UTC)
Eh?
jennitarox 13th-Jul-2012 08:40 pm (UTC)
the manzos didn't invent black water anyway
briknowsbest 13th-Jul-2012 08:05 pm (UTC)

h0tfuss 13th-Jul-2012 08:07 pm (UTC)
I need a new bottle of Deseo.

What's Fame supposed to smell like? I like scents that are...fresh. I can imagine this being a little musky and heavy.
scheisse 13th-Jul-2012 08:10 pm (UTC)
It's been getting good reviews but there's no way to say for sure how it smells because it supposedly reacts to everyone's body differently.
h0tfuss 13th-Jul-2012 08:12 pm (UTC)
That's true of every perfume though. That's how perfume works. That doesn't mean that they can't publish a list of notes.
jinnycalderone 13th-Jul-2012 08:15 pm (UTC)
see the comment above you. i posted the description!!
scheisse 13th-Jul-2012 08:07 pm (UTC)
But there's really no way of knowing how well it does because I don't think they release that kind of information.

I feel like the black liquid shit could be interesting or flop. It could intrigue people to see how it works, but overall as long as it smells good then it should be fine.

Only care about Scheisse commercial, tbh.
h0tfuss Re: 13th-Jul-2012 08:14 pm (UTC)
They definitely release that kind of information, in the sense that it's not hard to find out if albums and movies flop. You have some weird ideas about how the perfume industry works. Is Gaga putting some weird shit out there about this perfume and hoping that none of her fans are perfumistas?
scheisse 13th-Jul-2012 08:17 pm (UTC)
except, there are no "Billboard Hot 100 Perfumes" charts and the information is only released when the parent company wants to release it.
cherubrawk Re: 13th-Jul-2012 08:14 pm (UTC)
True but I really feel like the fans are going to give her almost all of her sales 1st year.
hannahgrace456 Re: 13th-Jul-2012 08:23 pm (UTC)
The kind of information is almost always released or the fragrances are ranked in terms of sales.
jinnycalderone 13th-Jul-2012 08:07 pm (UTC)
fuck yessss, i cant wait for this. i need it right now!!!!!!!
distantechoes4 13th-Jul-2012 08:08 pm (UTC)
Klein directed Scheisse video has been my DREAM since I first heard the track.

This era could not have been any more flawless, fuck the haters.
violet_crumble9 14th-Jul-2012 05:47 am (UTC)

i loved the album and wish that she released more as singles. bloody mary, americano, scheisse etc.
