As you wander through the shelves of a perfume shop, you may come across fragrances with familiar names\u2026 But with something different. It may also be a fragrance you already know, but in more intense edition, or in \u201csport\u201d or \u201ccouture\u201d version. This type of product is called a flanker in the perfume industry. We also talk about variations that are in fact reinterpretations of already existing compositions, to which we add a touch of novelty. Discover the underside of this phenomenon to finally find your way around!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is a flanker?<\/h2>\n

Enlarge the family<\/h3>\n

As you can see, a flanker is a re-edition of a fragrance already launched on the market. These fragrances generally represent reinterpretations of classics, of already popular juices. They are \u201clittle brothers or sisters\u201d of an existing perfume from which they borrow the name and the olfactory scheme, to become very distinct compositions from their elders. This phenomenon is in fact the result of mass consumption, particularly with household products and their many variations. The term flanker can be translated as \u201cally\u201d (it is also used in American football jargon). It thus evokes a product that supports an existing creation. Most of the time, these derivatives are accompanied by work on the bottle, the packaging and, for the biggest houses, by a new large-scale advertising campaign.<\/p>\n

The different types of flanker<\/h3>\n

The perfumer must therefore reformulate the original composition by adding a touch of novelty. This can be summed up by the addition of new ingredients or changes in dosage to highlight a particular raw material. It all depends on the demand and wishes of the perfumer. So, there are several variations. We can find \u201crejuvenated\u201d versions of older best-sellers, but also \u201cvirilized\u201d formulas of feminine fragrances, and vice versa. Contrary to what we might think, creating a flanker is far from being an easy exercise. It is necessary to preserve the spirit and the original universe of the perfume by giving it a different angle, while orienting the composition in a new olfactory direction.<\/p>\n

Flankers are not to be confused with collector editions. These consist of re-launching for a limited or unlimited time a fragrance that has already proven its worth in the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Flanker, limited edition, variation: how to tell them apart?<\/h2>\n

Perfume vocabulary can be confusing. Behind similar-sounding words lie quite different realities. Here is what you need to know before your next purchase.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
The flanker<\/div>\n

A new fragrance derived from an existing perfume, borrowing its name and its spirit. The formula evolves: new notes, a different dosage, an original olfactory direction. A creation in its own right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
The limited edition<\/div>\n

The same perfume, offered for a set period, often in a collector bottle. The fragrance itself does not change; what is exceptional is the packaging and the availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
The concentration variation<\/div>\n

The same juice offered as eau de toilette, eau de parfum or pure perfume<\/a>. The signature stays identical; only the intensity and the longevity change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
The format variation<\/div>\n

The fragrance adapted for the home: diffuser<\/a>, candle. You find the same scent, designed to fill a space rather than to be worn on the skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A flanker is therefore not a simple marketing variation. It is a work of reformulation that demands as much care as the original creation, preserving the soul of a perfume while opening a new path for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For or against flankers?<\/h2>\n

So why do perfumers reinterpret existing perfumes? There are a multitude of reasons that can explain the launch of a flanker on the market. It can make a registered name that has not been as successful as expected profitable. For others, it is simply a question of occupying as much space as possible on the shelves of perfumeries. And it is very important at a time when new products are flocking to the stores more and more quickly. Unfortunately, these flankers are often criticized for their lack of creativity and originality. The abundance of choices and variations sometimes leads to confusion and the devaluation of perfume.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, some of the variations are really new. They recreate the magic initiated in the original version, while demonstrating a real perfumer\u2019s work with new notes, all under an \u201cumbrella\u201d name. These flankers then manage to free themselves from the original to unveil new facets and conquer new noses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Should you give in to novelty in perfumery?<\/h2>\n

The perfume industry now moves to the rhythm of new releases. Every season brings its novelty, its variation, its special edition. But is a recent perfume necessarily a better one?<\/p>\n

From an olfactory point of view, nothing justifies it. A great perfume does not go out of fashion. Its quality lies in the richness of its raw materials, the balance of its composition and the precision of its trail, not in its release date. Novelty often answers a commercial logic, rarely a creative necessity.<\/p>\n

At Carr\u00e9ment Belle, we create little, but we create to last. Our fragrances do not follow trends: they are made to stand the test of time. This is why our very first perfume, created in 1988, is still in our collection and remains one of your favorites. The real question is not whether a perfume is new, but whether it suits you. That is the whole point of choosing a perfume<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A perfume that truly suits you has no expiry date. It has a story: yours.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Flanker at Carr\u00e9ment Belle<\/h2>\n

If you have known Carr\u00e9ment Belle for a while, you know we are not the kind of people who launch a new fragrance at the drop of a hat! After all, creating a perfume takes a lot of hard work. It is a meticulous process that takes time to find the perfect composition for us, and especially for you! Among our Collection<\/a>, you will find the variation of our iconic perfume for almost 40 years: ippi patchouli<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Ippi patchouli clair: the sunny and citrusy flanker<\/h3>\n

Unveiled in 2017, ippi patchouli clair<\/a> is an olfactory reinterpretation of the very first fragrance we created, which has become one of your favorites over the years. While it retains the earthy and woody notes of ippi patchouli that have become cult, the eau de parfum claire is lighter and more sparkling at the top (citrus, mandarin leaf<\/a>, water flower). Its heart is softened with apricot<\/a>, wild berries and tiare flower<\/a>, to finish with a gourmand base note with praline<\/a> whose scent evokes almond<\/a> and roasted sugar. This new formulation reveals a sunny, earthy and gourmand wake, designed as a tribute to its elder sister. The bottle is just as refreshing thanks to its golden drops that flow like rain after a storm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Carr\u00e9ment Belle variations, beyond the flanker<\/h2>\n

At Carr\u00e9ment Belle, we prefer to deepen our creations rather than multiply launches. Over the years, our iconic fragrances have been offered in several forms, to suit every mood and every moment.<\/p>\n

\n
The concentration variation: the pure perfume<\/div>\n

Several of our eaux de parfum also exist as pure perfume, the most intense concentration in perfumery. ippi patchouli, kilim, also and \u00ef\u014dd\u00e9 come in a pure perfume version, for those who want even greater longevity and presence. The same signature, experienced with more intensity. To be found in our pure perfume collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
The home variation: the diffuser<\/div>\n

Most of our skin fragrances also come as a home fragrance diffuser, to extend their olfactory world into your home. The same scent you wear on your skin, this time designed to fill a room. A way to live with your favorite perfume from morning to night, on you and around you. More in our guide to home fragrance diffusers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Layering, another way to vary<\/div>\n

Rather than waiting for a new version of a perfume, you can create your own. By layering two of our fragrances on your skin, you compose a unique signature. Spray the most intense one first, then the lighter one on top.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What do you think of perfume variations? Have you ever smelled the version eau de parfum ippi patchouli clair?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
