Hugo Boss and Coty have renewed their license agreement, which includes all Boss and Hugo fragrances for men and women.
"We are excited to continue our successful partnership with Coty and are convinced that we have the right partner at our side to exploit the full potential of Boss and Hugo in the global fragrance business," says Daniel Grieder, CEO of Hugo Boss AG.
Sue Y. Nabi, CEO, Coty, adds: “We are delighted to extend our highly successful partnership with Hugo Boss, one of the leading premium fragrance brands in our portfolio. Together, we have created many iconic male fragrances, which have been enthusiastically received by consumers, and we look forward to build on these successes.”
Another strategic focus area is the strengthening of the top of the brand’s fragrance range, ‘Boss The Collection.’ This expansion will specifically enhance the relevance of Boss in specialty markets such as the Middle East and China.
The existing offering for men and women under the Hugo brand will also be reinvented to sharpen the focus on young target groups, including Gen Z, and to fully reflect the brands new ‘Hugo Your Way’ platform.
Nabi explains, “This long-term extension is in line with Coty’s strategic objective to focus on key brands which can become global powerhouses, while driving a balanced growth agenda across our fragrance portfolio.”
Following the Hugo Boss license renewal, which includes no material changes in licensing terms, Coty has no sizeable license up for renewal in the next six years.
