Coco Chanel Will be Proud
Recent Survey Reveals Wearing Fragrance May Lead to Wealth, Fame and Success
NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2001 /FW/ -- Coco Chanel was a child of the 20th century, starting her career 1909 as
a fashion designer.
At the dawn of the 21st century, Jacques Polge, CHANEL master perfumer, was challenged
with the task of creating a fragrance that Coco herself would wear if she were turning 21 in 2001.
The result is COCO Mademoiselle, a new
original that combines a fresh oriental with a sparkling top note, rich spicy
accents and warm, spicy musk.
To celebrate this new perfume, Chanel commissioned the Harman Atchison Research Group to conduct
a survey about fragrance. Of the 1,000 respondents who are all women, 50% were 18-22 while the
other 50% were 23-28.
According to the findings, women who wear fragrance are
more likely to hope for marriage (60% vs. 53%), wealth (59% vs. 52%) and fame
(12% vs. 8%) than women who don't wear fragrance.
What's more, fragrance wearers are more likely to define their generation as powerful and influencing
(26% vs. 17%), and likely to be more successful than their parents (39% vs. 32%) than women who don't
wear fragrance.
Interesting tidbits from the survey:
Both fragrance users and non-fragrance users were raised by both stay-at-home moms and working moms.
Fragrance users are twice likely to consider plastic surgery than non-users. (26% vs. 13%)
Women with children are more likely to wear fragrance because it makes them feel sexy than women without children (39% vs. 31%).

Fragrance wearers tend to exercise more than non-fragrance wearers.
