BELLE VIE PLANNING TO EXPAND
Leading fragrance manufacturer increasing product line as profits drop
By James Freeman
Staff Reporter of the International World Tribune
PARIS, France--Leading fragrance manufacturer Belle Vie announced yesterday
plans to expand its line of products. This planned increase comes after several
quarters of slow sales and, over the last two years, a drop in profit margins from 14
to 5 percent. Although well known for its line of women's perfumes, the company
plans to diversify into a line of men's fragrances and, in addition, is also considering
expanding and diversifying its line of women's accessories, a spokesperson for the
company said. Insiders say that Belle Vie's troubles are the result of relying too
heavily on L'Amour, the company's best-selling fragrance, to generate sales. "We
have depended on L'Amour too much for our revenues--not invested in our other
fragrances or considered diversifying into other categories until now," Simone
Buttet, vice president of research and development, was quoted as saying. Jean-Luc
Dubois, vice president of marketing, had a more optimistic tone about the
company's plans. "Belle Vie is always very cautious about making a move. We never
act before looking into a market; we research it very thoroughly before we invest in
it. We are expanding and diversifying our product line right now because it is the
best time to do so, not because of low sales with our line of women's fragrances."
With sales down across the board for all of Belle Vie's fragrances for women,
though, Dubois is no doubt hoping for the men's equivalent of L'Amour to turn
sales around.
