Follow on Google News | BAXTER BRINGS BRAVADO BACK: Series of Fragrances to Launch Exclusively at Barneys New YorkBaxter of California, the premium men’s grooming line since 1965, is expanding into the personal fragrance category with two new colognes namely, BRAVADO 2 and BRAVADO 3. Both fragrances are set to debut mid-April at Barneys New York locations.
By: PR Lab Why Bravado 2 and Bravado 3? The Company’s founder Baxter Finley first launched the original Bravado, a floral woodsy cologne in the early 1970’s, but the fragrance has since been retired for over 7 years. As part of Baxter’s expansion into the men’s lifestyle category, Jean-Pierre Mastey, Baxter’s current president, decided to re-introduce cologne into the line. Mastey appropriately named the new fragrances as an homage to the original cologne. “The word bravado has an obvious masculine connotation,” Marc Atlan, an art director with fragrance packaging credits including Comme des Garcons, Helmut Lang and Yves Saint Laurent, designed Bravado’s new bottle & packaging. Unlike traditional box packaging, Atlan stayed away from using ink or glue. Instead, he created a bold study in contrasts by use a dense and intricate explosion of splatters, sprays and drips in foil application. “The packaging is unapologetic, radical and absolutely masculine,” says Atlan. Photographer Albert Giordan was selected to capture the Bravado imagery. Giordan’s work has appeared in French Vogue, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, and Big Magazine. He has shot campaigns for brands including Cartier, Rolex, and Comme des Garcons. For more information on Bravado 2 and Bravado 3, please visit www.bravadoedc.com.
