Implications - The love for celebrities has consumers wanting to look like them, dress like them and now smell like them. While that may seem a little far-fetched, the clever approach has been to come out with fragrances that celebrities endorse. This brings consumers closer to their favorite stars and it demonstrates a celebrity's value even when they're branching out on their own instead of endorsing a company item.
