Lalique Group has announced a worldwide perfume licensing agreement with global fashion brand Superdry, in a deal brokered by IMG.

Under the terms of the agreement, which will initially run through 2032, Lalique Group will exclusively create and distribute a collection of women’s and men’s perfumes for Superdry, with the first fragrance being launched in spring 2024. Building on Superdry’s reputation within key markets including the UK, US, Europe, and Asia, the fragrance will be distributed and marketed through Lalique Group’s global distribution network.

Founded in the UK in 2003, Superdry has a significant global presence. It operates in over 50 countries with 228 physical stores, around 480 franchisees and licensees, and Superdry’s digital experience superdry.com retailing to over 100 countries worldwide.

Roger von der Weid, CEO of Lalique Group, says: “We are delighted to be Superdry’s exclusive perfume partner. Working with this young, dynamic brand with its distinctive style offers us a great opportunity to further expand our brand portfolio and to increasingly target the young generation as part of our client base.”

Julian Dunkerton, CEO of Superdry, adds: “We’ve got great momentum in our brand and its distinct style choices. These will be complemented by our new Superdry fragrances and I am excited to be partnering with Lalique Group, a premium partner very consistent with our brand. Importantly, our agreement also includes strong commitments on the sustainability of how the fragrances are produced and packaged.”

With the new licence for Superdry fragrances, Lalique Group is expanding its existing perfume portfolio, which includes the brands Lalique Parfums, Brioni, Jaguar Fragrances, Bentley Fragrances, Parfums Grès, and Parfums Samouraï.

UK video game retailer GAME launches limited edition fragrances Eau De Plumber and FPS

The UK’s largest high street retailer of video games, GAME, has moved in on the fragrances market with the special launch of a limited edition line of luxury perfume: Eau De Plumber and FPS (First Person Scent).

The two unisex fragrances will be available exclusively at GAME.co.uk in time for Christmas and are tipped by the retailer to become collector’s items in the near future. Both fragrances have been expertly curated by some of the UK’s leading perfumers.

The first fragrance, Eau De Plumber has been painstakingly blended with deep, toadstooly undertones, with high tones of peach and daisy, while FPS, the grenade-shaped scent can be described as ‘best appreciated from thirty feet away’ and ‘slightly gunpowdery’ and is a celebration of the nation’s love of popular first person shooter games.

Both scents are extremely limited and priced at £19.99 for a 200ml bottle.

Nick Arran, head of commercial at GAME, said: “Everyone loves to receive perfume at this time of year so we wanted to capture the essence of gaming and Christmas all in one bottle – two presents in one if you like. We would urge people to buy soon though as these are very limited and will soon become collector’s items.”
