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.
