Elizabeth Arden has surprisingly made a first quarter profit for this fiscal year. The perfume manufacturer, who owns the Mariah Carey and Hummer for Men range, reported a $350,000 profit, when they were expected a $1.3million loss.

Reuters Reports:

Sales rose 6.7 percent to $271.8 million, helped by the Carey perfume launch as well as an 18 percent rise in international sales of its Elizabeth Arden brand products, and demand for its higher-end perfumes in the United States.

It’s good news and hopefully it will continue!

Clarins’ Angel Parfum has recently come under attack from a American Toxicology group after claims that it contains Coumarin, which the group claims to be a dangerous poison.

Whilst toxic in high quantities, Coumarin is found in a large number of detergents or other fragrances, and The National Toxic Encephalopathy Foundation claims are at time both political and baffling, as Cosmetic Design Europe states:

On the NTEF website, the organization has published a number of articles criticizing Clarins including: ‘Clarins perfumes preferred by London terrorists’, ‘Clarins accused of manufacturing court document’ and ‘Is Clarins Angel Parfum a Valentine gift or St Valentine’s day massacre.’ 

It seems strange to attack a certain brand of perfume in this way. We’ll keep you posted.

Smell nice but your doberman pongs? Never fear, you can now buy perfume for your canine companion!

Juicy Crittoure, a division of Juicy Coiture, I presume, has launched a range of ways to pamper your pet for as much as £30 for the “Eau du Pawfum”

The Hum writes:

But the one product that really draws our attention is the Pawfume. For a measly $60, you can score the ultimate upscale Fido fragrance. And we know that if the marketing department has done their homework, they’ve packaged the scent discerning dogs dig most: dog booty.

I wonder whos pooch will be the first to launch their own puppy perfume?
