I have the same question, it doesn’t make any sense, she didn’t have to put anymore effort on promoting it, just let it sell maybe it was because she restructured Haus Labs, or she lost the rights for the bottle (but that’s just more suspicious, cause if a fragrance sells that good, you obviously renew the rights) or maybe she didn’t want Fame to age badly as other celebrity perfumes cause after a few years they sell them for so cheap that it’s damaging for her image and the perfume that evoked a mysterious and expensive aura but those answers are still not satisfying for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her perfume company will launch whatever products that will sell in bulk, follow the trend and not offend anyone. They're just making money and nothing else. I am a perfume addict for more than 10 years too, and you are basically agreeing to what I say anyway BR540 is THE trend perfume, next to Aventus. Cloud is an affordable clone. It sells like hot cakes and makes them money. このジョルノジョヴァンナ夢がある Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So winning a percentage of this is already bigger than their other income Jennifer Lopez made COTY, same company that sold Fame, 2 billion and she only walked away with less than 5% of that. That being said, no way Fame grossed that much. It was out of stores in less than a year. Something continuously selling like that COTY would have given their left nut to her to keep her on.

Its weird, for the FAME perfume she went all in, made a ton of promo, events, specific fashion, and aimed to make a unique product with supposedly unique features (black liquid), and even did that event where she "slept" in front of visitors. And she hated doing it. And now, for HL, everything seems lackluster, next to no innovation, small catalogue of products, palette shades that are as basic as you can get, the ads are nothing special. And she loves it. I know she is in control or most of the control of HL, but at least from our perspective, she is far from the same kind of involvement and creativity that she put into FAME.

I don't know how trustworthy these sources are, though. https://www.idolator.com/7440253/lady-gaga-sells-30-million-bottles-of-fame-perfume?andro=1&chrome=1 https://www.spetteguless.it/2013/02/09/lady-gaga-boom-con-fame-nella-top10-dei-profumieri/ Can't find anything about Eau De Gaga, so I imagine the numbers aren't as impressive. well the issue with EDG is it wasnt pushed at all. I didnt even know it was out until I saw a random article about it and it was in ross and marshalls almost 2 months after its release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were my guessings, and I said I wasn’t completely satisfied with those options also the fragrance sold massively Maybe what you meant was that the sales dropped after a relatively short period in the industry standards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickSpears 2,060 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Fame perfume definitely flopped. There was so much left over that it was sent to cheaper stores for very cheap just to sell, etc. but personally I just didn't love the perfume either which is why I didn't buy it. I love Gaga tho (obvs) Ariana's perfumes smell really good actually. Britney has my favorite perfume smells though. Curious is still amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
