Grande's global success in fragrance has been unprecedented with sales upwards
of $500 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 the exciting win for Fragrance of the
Year for Cloud. "The continued success and stellar growth of Ariana's fragrance
portfolio is a testament to her relationship with her fans and the passion and
authentic involvement she has with her brand. We are honored to again be
partnering with such a groundbreaking artist and look forward to continued
success with the launch of R.E.M.," says Tony Bajaj, Chief Executive Officer of
LUXE Brands.
Says Grande, "The R.E.M. fragrance has quickly become a favorite of mine. So
much so that I named it after one of my favorite songs and paired it with one
of my favorite visual worlds which is that 60s mod, space, dream world. I wish
I could live in that world forever and wear this scent while I'm there and just
have it blasting out of my spaceship at all times to combat any potential bad
vibes. This scent feels warmer, sexier, more grown and kind of grounded more so
than the others but the secret ingredient that gives it that sweetness and ties
it in with the rest of the family is caramel! I am very excited about this and
I hope everyone loves it as much as I do."
"Ariana is the creative visionary behind the animated, fantasy world of R.E.M.
and has partnered with award winning package designer Joshua English on the
bottle design, Oscar nominated director Olivier Lescot and illustrator Cheyne
Gallarde to create the R.E.M. universe. Ariana transforms into a strong,
feminine heroine fighting to save the world and inviting her fans to share in
the journey," explains Noreen Dodge, Chief Marketing Officer of LUXE Brands.
The R.E.M. narrative is optimistic, empowering and synergistic with the values
Ariana imbues.
The campaign is a first for the category with its dramatic animation and visual
delight for fans as Ariana, Toulouse, Piggy Smalls and other special guests
conquer the galaxy. "I am excited to collaborate with an artist as talented as
Ariana Grande on this animated tribute to sci-fi from the 70's to today. I am
inspired by science fiction in my visual work and delighted to have the chance
to draw upon its rich iconography to bring to life the irresistible pop of
Ariana," says Lescot.

ABOUT ARIANA GRANDE
Grammy winning, multi-platinum recording artist and international superstar,
Ariana Grande, is the first artist to hold the top three Billboard Hot 100
spots since The Beatles in 1964 with "7 Rings," "Break Up With Your Girlfriend,
I'm Bored," and "Thank U, Next." At age 27, she has delivered five
platinum-selling albums and surpassed 35 billion streams – she's Spotify's most
streamed female artist of the past decade – while rapidly becoming one of the
biggest pop stars of our generation with her powerhouse vocals and unmatched
presence both on stage and with her fans. In 2019, Grande embarked on the
Sweetener World Tour and performed over 100 shows throughout the year,
including headliner sets at Lollapalooza and Coachella - where she was the
youngest headliner in the festival's history. In 2020, Grande debuted atop the
Billboard Hot 100 with "Stuck with U" (with Justin Bieber) and "Rain On Me"
(with Lady Gaga), making Ariana the first and only artist to have 4 singles
debut at #1 in the chart's history.
At 15 years old, she landed the role of "Charlotte" in the Broadway production
of 13. From there, she was cast in Nickelodeon's Victorious which led to a
spin-off starring Grande's character in Sam & Cat. Other television credits
include voice work in Family Guy, Winx Club and Underdogs with on-camera roles
in Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens and a guest role in Jim Carrey's Kidding. In
2016, Grande starred as "Penny Pingleton" in Hairspray Live! for NBC. That same
