Fate of the Fragrance:
DCI, 1997:
"LPI, formerly called La Parfumerie Inc., has secured the exclusive distribution rights in the U.S. for the fragrances from the upscale lingerie company La Perla, as well as the Fendi fashion house. In a recent interview, DCI asked LPI's president, Francesco Borghese, about his plans for the Italian fragrance lines in the U.S. DCI: What lure, or cachet, does an Italian fragrance house present to consumers? BORGHESE: The popularity of Italian fragrance houses is on the rise. Look at fashion and accessories. Today, 85% of fashion and accessories imports in the uS are Italian, as compared to the 15% from France. The only exception has been fragrances, because they have come from France for so long. However, there is more creativity in Italy than ever before in this market, and we will be seeing more and more Italian fragrances in the future. "
