And it’s got quite a lot of notes that I like that feel very woodsy,” she told WWD. “It has this type of spicy tone, nevertheless it also has this really soft tone, this vanilla tone. The smell itself is this type of dark gray, metallic-y, metal, silver color.”

“Our goal is to construct Billie Eilish fragrances right into a fragrance house that will probably be a real and enduring pillar within the industry, with ambitions to succeed in $200 million in the following three years, we predict there’s a lot potential to expand the product offering driving newness, really all based on Billie’s creative vision and her love of scents,” Singer continued.

Fragrance benefited strongly from the coronavirus pandemic and shows no signs of abatement. The category logged 16 percent growth within the second quarter, in response to data from the NPD Group.
