Inspired by the grand power of nature, God is a Woman is composed of 91%

naturally derived clean ingredients, a first for the accomplished Ariana Grande

Fragrance franchise, and is 100% vegan and cruelty free. In the two weeks

following the launch of God is a Woman, a contribution from every qualifying

purchase of the fragrance will be donated to ocean clean up initiatives -

globally.

"I'm beyond thrilled to celebrate the release of our first ever clean

fragrance," says Grande. "We have, of course, been cruelty free but taking this

next step moving into clean, with responsibly sourced materials and vegan

ingredients, is something we are all very proud of. I really adore this

fragrance and hope it makes everyone wearing it feel beautiful and empowered."

"God is a Woman is a true representation of Ariana's powerful message to her

fans. The alluring fragrance and brand marks an evolution of the franchise into

Clean Beauty," explains Noreen Dodge, Chief Marketing Officer of LUXE Brands.

"The brand has always been cruelty free and uses the highest quality

ingredients however, we are looking to transition our packaging across the

entire line to more sustainable materials. Industry leaders across many

categories are thoughtfully and intentionally taking these steps and you will

continue to see exciting changes over time across the franchise."

Crafted by Robertet's Jerome Epinette, the perfumer and artisan behind Byredo

and Atelier Cologne, God is a Woman is an unexpected combination of luxurious,

natural ingredients that will envelop you from head to toe. "God is a Woman

presents an unprecedented duality in fragrance - an incredibly simple perfume

structure built around some of the most coveted and exquisite natural materials

available to me as a perfumer – specifically ambrette and orris.  The way we

crafted the scent represents what I feel is the future of perfumes;  simplicity

and luxury anchored to nature,"  says Jerome Epinette, Vice President & Master

Perfumer, Robertet Inc.

Grande launched her first fragrance in 2015. Since then, Grande's global

success in fragrance has been unprecedented with retail sales upwards of $750

million since launch. The award winning franchise boasts nominations for

Fragrance of the Year, Media Campaign of the Year and Consumer Choice with the

launch of Thank U Next in 2019, and exciting wins for 2020 Fragrance of the

Year for 'Cloud' and 2021 Fragrance of the Year with R.E.M.

"I continue to be impressed by Ariana's close relationship with her fans, and

her hands-on approach in developing unique scents they will love and authentic

campaigns they will gravitate toward," says Tony Bajaj, Chief Executive Officer

of LUXE Brands. "From the fragrance notes to the sustainably sourced materials

used in the packaging, Ariana was at the helm of the creative process behind

God is a Woman. LUXE Brands is honored to once again partner with such an

influential icon."

THE PACKAGING

The God is a Woman packaging design creates a truly bold statement in a simple

way. The translucent lavender glass is a tall, elevated form, thin and elegant

with a timeless purity, sealed with a creamy white cap. The bottle is set

inside an amazing stone-like holder creating a divine combination that is

unmistakable.

The secondary package paints the scene, showing Ariana wrapped in beautiful

florals, almost as if she is one with nature, creating a fantasy of

transcendence.
