MUMBAI: Fragrance company Coty Inc. and Disney-ABC Television Group's Touchstone Television have entered a partnership to develop a new fragrance inspired by ABC's hit television show Desperate Housewives.
The companies aspire to create a scent that is as complex, beautiful and sexy as the women of Wisteria Lane. The fragrance will debut in August this year in select department stores in the US.
Coty Inc. CEO Bernd Beetz said, "We are thrilled to work with the entire Desperate Housewives team at ABC and Touchstone on this provocative new fragrance. The Desperate Housewives zeitgeist continues to gain momentum. Only Coty, and our passionate team of experts, could capture the essence and attitude of the most distinctive, daring show on television today."

"We've seen a tremendous response to Desperate Housewives products made available to date, so extending the franchise into the world of fragrance makes perfect sense. Given Coty's outstanding track record in the fragrance market, the Desperate Housewives scent is guaranteed to be a hit with women everywhere, connecting them in a very personal way to this popular series," said ABC Entertainment and Touchstone Television senior vice president, business development Bruce Gersh.

This marks the first time that Coty has teamed up with a major studio to develop a fragrance inspired by a hit primetime television show.
