Gaultier Plans Popeye, Betty Boop Scents

Popeye, Betty Boop will be featured on new French perfumes.

Jean Paul Gaultier has created two character-based lable designs for its fragrances Classique, which will include Betty Boop on the packaging, and Le Mâle, which will include Popeye with its classic tin packaging.

To build momentum ahead of the new scent launch and drive awareness, Jean Paul Gaultier also posted digital teasers throughout Paris Fashion Week (taking place March 1-9) on social media and posters.

The fragrances will launch exclusively in France at Nocibé and Marionnaud perfumery chains, March 15. An online and worldwide release will follow in April/May.

“We are thrilled to partner with such a creative talent,” says Cathleen Titus, vice president, international licensing, King Features. “Jean Paul Gaultier truly understands our characters’ DNA

and how to translate that into pitch perfect design.”

King Features is the exclusive worldwide licensing agent for Betty Boop, and is the owner of the Popeye property.
