After her split from husband Peter Andre, former glamour model Katie Price had more bad news yesterday as her perfume was revealed by a beauty website to be the worst-selling celebrity scent.
Over the past 12 months, Price’s perfume, called Stunning, has claimed just 0.37% of all celebrity fragrance sales on feelunique.com.
— Some gratuitous celebrity perfume gossip, in case you were in need of such a thing today. I should point out that this is only the results from one store, and Stunning is not even Katie Price’s latest perfume (Besotted is) so I don’t know that it is meaningful in any way. Regardless, you can read more at Perfume buyers turn up their noses at model Jordan’s scent at The Herald.

I was surprised by how well her perfumes have been sellting.
Nationally, Stunning is the biggest selling celebrity scent in 2 big chains: Superdrugs and The Perfume Shop.
My first thought on reading this was that feelunique.com wanted some free publicity, but since this is kind of funny I was happy to give it to them
I know nothing about Jordan/Katie Price, her perfumes or her modeling career, except from looking at the links posted with this article. I will merely comment that a woman who makes the public statement that her fans are sure to be happy with her “new boobs” is Just Setting Herself Up For a Disastrous Life. Poor thing.
Isn’t that hysterical?
I wasn’t aware that people were unhappy with her “old boobs”
I must live under a rock….or I’d be more aware of her boobs for sure….I’ll add that to my priority list right away.
I read “Katie Price” and thought “who’s that?”, but when I saw the name “Jordan” it clicked and I thought…. “oh yeah, the woman with the boobs that are bigger than her head.” I’ll say no more.
LOL!
I’m weeping into my artificial 32 DD’s. Not. Boobage aside, I’m surprised feelunique feels the need to announce that. Most of what they sell is pretty high end and French skincare. I buy my Lierac and Caudalie stuff from them – can’t say I ever noticed they sold Jordan scents (not that I was looking for them).
Never hurts to get in the paper — I’m sure that’s why they felt the need
Oh dear…does that thing have a global presence? I thought she was confined to our side of the pond.
I was browsing through the celebrity scents in Debenhams the other day and Besotted was the only one I wanted to smell, as it just looked so delightfully tawdry – there was even a big ol’ seam on the poorly manufactured bottle. Unfortunately, the spray mechanism on the tester was broken (always a good sign) so I never got to.
So far as I know, it’s only in the UK…but who knows!
I work in a store that stocks Besotted, we had to send a whole batch of 30ml’s back due to the pink colouring turning clear. oh dear!
I’m enjoying the thought of a person nicknamed “cowbiscuits” working at a perfume store….. =D
don’t worry i don’t smell like cows or malted milk biscuits!
haha
That’s funny, although I suppose better than if it started out clear and turned some off color…
It surprises me when “name” fragrances sell. I am not surprised when it doesnt. I think perfumes should be created by real perfumers who has a passion for it and not a celebrity who wants to make some cashing on fans pockets. If its a “name” fragrance so at least let it be of the person with great personality
It appears as though she may have opted for ,ahem, ‘melons’ in lieu of personality….. and now that that brain synapse has fired, it makes wonder if she shouldn’t put out yet another celeb (cough, cough) fragrance flanker, with a melon note….in honor of her ‘new’ boobs and she could call it “Stunning Melons”.
sheesh, should I be in advertising or what?
lol – I’d test that
Well, it is still made by real perfumers…the same perfumers who make designer scents. So, makes no difference to me whose name you splash on the label.
I know that they do but looks like they dont really put their thoughts it in. Most of it just done to smell good, fruity, floral,done very fast.
The difference to me is like between take away & gourmand meniu in the restaurant. You just see the difference in quality, presentation, sensation that whoever made it really tried his best and it took years of training to develop a great taste. Thats what at least I think
I know that feeling quite well….I’d just argue that *many* brands create throw-away fragrances like that, and that there are at least a few celebrity brands that don’t. I take my clues from which company has bought the license to the celebrity name. If Coty Prestige or Elizabeth Arden or Estee Lauder, they’re probably going to take care. If Coty Beauty or Parlux or one of the many other little-known companies, probably not.
I agree with you. I probably thought more of niche houses. Would you think the same about niche fragrances & exclusive lines?
I think those perfumes normally are made with thought and time. Its not a flanker & it’s not a “name” fragrance ant its not for a mass market.
I used to feel that way, but with the explosion of niche lines over the past few years, I’ve encountered too many where the scents are about as generic as celebrity scents…they’re just relying on a different kind of “sell” — using exclusivity instead of a celebrity name.
Yes, I’m jaded!
I’ve never smelled her fragrance so I can’t comment on that, but I am sad to hear that they are broken up, I suppose it is inevitable for a couple who met on a reality TV show and then had their own reality TV show. Still, their show was entertaining, maybe MTV aired it, I can’t remember where I saw it, and i was pulling for them, I guess I’m old-fashioned that way!
And I can’t comment on any of that, since I know absolutely zip about her, and never heard of him at all.
Coincidentally, I saw Katie Price recently in Sephora on Fifth Ave. in NYC. I noticed there were clots of people standing outside the window looking in, and other small groups following this woman around the store, which piqued my curiosity. I would have noticed her anyway, as everything about her was extreme: heavy retro-style makeup, a beehive hairdo teased way up to there, extreme stiletto-heeled boots (I didn’t get a gander at the boobs, as she was wearing a coat – also extreme, bright orange). Underneath all that it appeared there was a pretty woman. I had to ask a photographer outside who she was.
Interesting — had no idea anyone in the US even knew who she was, but apparently they do or there wouldn’t have been crowds!
