press: charlie new packaging as featured on carton magazine
ceft-and-company-revlon-charlie-fragrance-relaunch-carton-magazine
“toute première fragrance lancée mondialement par revlon en 1975, l’historique charlie s’offre une nouvelle jeunesse orchestrée par l’agence new-yorkaise ceft and company.
ce parfum revlon vous dit forcément quelque chose ! affublé d’un prénom féminin, ce floral sensuel (mêlant vanille, santal, mousse de chêne, oeillet, jacinthe ou encore pêche) est le symbole même de toute une génération. charlie finalement, c’est cette femme active américaine : une business woman toujours nickel, le brushing impeccable et les mains for ever glissées dans les poches de son pantalon. une vraie petite révolution dans le monde de la publicité. plus fort encore : la marque peut se vanter d’avoir été la première entreprise de cosmétiques à représenter une afro-américaine dans ses pubs ou bien même d’avoir fait travailler une toute jeune sharon stone, en 1983 (vidéo ci-dessous). re-lancée ces jours-ci, la fragrance devrait faire trembler tous les héritiers (chloé en tête) parfois très (trop ?) inspirés par l’univers de l’américain revlon… supervisé ainsi par l’agence ceft and company (parmi ses clients fendi, nars ou nike), le lifting de charlie donnerait presque envie de passer sur le billard. au programme (entre autres) : un nouveau positionnement de la marque, une distribution exclusive (sur le marché british d’abord) et des nouveaux packagings. notre coup de coeur : les emballages façon paquet de clopes, ornés de gracieuses volutes. pas franchement politiquement correct mais c’est ça qui est bon!”

“in preparation for the relaunch of the revlon “charlie” perfume, the ‘ceft and company new york’ creative agency was put to the task of rebranding revlon’s iconic fragrance with fresh packaging.
when it first came out, the charlie brand was a frontrunner in fragrance. the cosmetics company is linked to many firsts in marketing, including being the first to feature an african american woman, as well as the first to depict a woman wearing pants. although the popularity of charlie has dwindled since it first came out, the brand’s spirit is still as strong as ever.
in its refreshed packaging, the charlie fragrances are represented as colorful essences in colors like hot pink, charcoal, red and peach. as the ceft and company new york describes, ‘the new packs look and feel like the very scents they contain.'”
