All you say is true, but my guess about why it failed is that the celebrity fragrances tend to appeal to a certain age group in the late teens & early 20s, and that cohort has zero interest in Donald Trump. P Diddy, yes, Donald Trump, no. It is interesting.

We think of scary-hair that has more in common with sculpted topiaries than coiffures. We think of buildings with shiny gold plaques that bear his name despite the fact that he doesn't really own them. We think of guy who has the priveledge of using bankruptcy as a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, rather than the hardship that most people have to go through when they must privately declare bankruptcy. We think of a guy who is game for hipness, but isn't really hip at all. Who wants to bother with a fragrance that connotes all that, let alone even care about the smell at all? Gah, this is why I hate the celeb fragrance racket going on lately. It's neat that they have famous faces, but I don't want to smell like what some random famous face deems worthy. Bleh.
