Flanker (perfume)

In perfumery, a flanker refers to newly created perfume that shares some attributes of an already existing perfume.[1] These attributes may be the name, packaging or notes of the existing fragrance.

Examples
  • Dior's 1985 fragrance Poison was followed by Tendre Poison (1994), Hypnotic Poison (1998), Pure Poison (2004), Midnight Poison (2007) and Poison Girl (2016).[2]
  • Issey Miyake's 1992 fragrance "L'eau d'Issey" was followed by "L'Eau d'Issey Florale" in 2011.[3]
  • The Jimmy Choo fragrance "Jimmy Choo" released in 2011 was supplemented by a flanker perfume "Exotic" released in 2013.[4]
  • Paco Rabanne's highly successful 2008 perfume for men "1 Million" was followed by a perfume for women "Lady Million" in 2010. Its packaging was very similar to the original fragrance.[5]
