My product: Dior’s Perfume, J’adore
1. J’adore is a timeless fragrance by Christian Dior. It was created in 1999 and remains one of the most popular fragrances of the brand for women. Christian Dior, the father of the “New Look”, stated the principal goal to “save women from nature”. Dior is known everywhere in the world. “Absolute feminity” is one of the slogans for J’adore.
2. Dior uses different market segmentations to sell their product. First of all, there is a geographic segmentation. Perfumes are luxury products. Thus, they target wealthier areas like North America, Western Europe, Japan, etc. Since Dior is popular worldwide, we can obviously find it everywhere, but their market is based on these areas’ needs. Then, they use

Chanel is a company based in France. Chanel is just as famous as Dior, if not more. They built their reputation on quality and uniqueness.
Coco Mademoiselle is the equivalent of J’adore for Chanel. It is not their main perfume, but is a very important one. The market segmentation is the same. From a customer point of view, they hire celebrities to promote the perfume. Lastly Kate Moss was representing Coco Mademoiselle. They also take greatly care of the image it gives to customers. They hire the best photographer and director for their ads. The image has to be perfect and make the women looking at it dream. I am not an expert to say what Chanel could do better, but as a customer, I think they should make Coco Mademoiselle look younger, because the fragrance could fit many girls in their late teenager years. The information is from: www.chanel.com/fragrance.
Lancome is also a company based in France. Ô by Lancome has almost the same market segmentation, except it is a little wider. Indeed, teenagers are targeted as well as accomplished women. Ô has a fresh look, and is related to water in all commercials or ads. It was the point at the beginning, because “Ô” is an abbreviation for water in French. The image is fluid, but stays classy. This is the advantage. From a customer’s point of view, wearing this fragrance is like taking a fresh air breath. However, I think they should make more effort when it comes to advertising the perfume. Indeed, a perfume
Her design took fashion upwards. “Her influence on haute couture was such that she was the only person in the field to be named in Time's one hundred most influential people of the twentieth century”(Coco Chanel). She transformed the fashion industry, with her radical designs and simplicity that shook the world out of their corsets. Chanel will always be remembered for opening doors to the fashion world and broking norms to help free women from a pleasing a male dominant
C. A lot of women know Chanel and they are fascinated of Chanel products, but how many people know about Coco Chanel, the first designer of Chanel?
In order to maintain its credibility, Chanel has had a number of illustrious celebrity endorsers, including model Kate Moss, actresses Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou, and now Keira Knightley. By having such a renowned face for its latest fragrance, Chanel has not only accomplished the feat of maintaining its credibility, but it has enticed the viewer.
Chanel revolutionized the perfume and jewelry industry. Chanel created Chanel Number Five in 1924. By 1925 Chanel perfume was also being distributed on a worldwide scale. Chanel’s perfumes bring a significant percent of a profit for the company, more than its sales in other in other areas combined. Today Chanel Number Five sells a bottle every day thirty seconds. Costume jewelry was another item that became popular due to Chanel’s influence in the early 1920’s. She was the first designer to gain the social acceptability of wearing fake jewels. She said, “Costume jewelry is not made to give women an aura of wealth but to make them beautiful” (Picardie 76). Her jewelry and perfume lines are still best sellers in the jewelry and perfume market.
Advertisers, especially fragrance advertisers stick to a ‘house style’ and because of these similarities we have expectations of what they will include. The advert I have chosen is Estee Lauder perfume, which features Kendall Jenner. Some of the features we expect on fragrance adverts are glamour, beauty and attractiveness to be shown. It is very common for advertisers to use well-known celebrity such as Kendall Jenner. It is a technique to get people looking at the advert because audiences admire celebrities, success and importantly ‘beauty’. If a ‘normal’ ‘everyday’ woman were to be used for adverts then it would catch less attention, as they are not known and the product would sell less because people assume, if celebrities use the

CoCo Chanel had many achievements in the fashion world. This was brought forth by her creative leadership. CoCo was an orphan and originally learned how to sew there. She created a product that was attractive and desired. CoCo managed to be a wealthy businesswoman in a time where there were few opportunities for her to succeed. CoCo Chanel had enough confidence in herself to rely on her own judgement. This can be to blame for her success. CoCo was a leader instead of a follower. She did this by leading women away from impractical clothing (corsets), and instead introduces clothing that emphasized comfort, functionality and high style. CoCo used these skills and others to break through the male barrier in women's fashion. She is also responsible

“In 1969, Chanel’s fascinating life story became the basis for the Broadway musical Coco starring Katharine Hepburn as the legendary designer.” (Biography.com) Her legacy continued on and she continued making designs until her death on January 10, 1971, at the Hotel Ritz.

These key fashion pieces are still very popular in our current day time in women’s fashion.
