Bond No. 9, purveyor of scents inspired by all things NYC, for its new fall fragrance launch in the Andy Warhol series, Success is a Job in New York. Has a nice ring to it, no? For me, it brings to mind the scheming ways of the cutthroat advertising industry scene in 1960s New York as depicted on Mad Men (which, thankfully, finally returns next month). But back to Bond No. 9 for a minute, because there's actually a cool story behind the naming of of its new fragrance: turns out, the multi-talented Andy Warhol was a successful illustrator before he became a pop art icon, and "Success is a Job in New York" was the title of an article he illustrated for Glamour back in the day.
All this got me thinking about other beauty product names I've known and loved, from Benefit's cheeky Dr. Feelgood and Some Kind-a Gorgeous to OPI's ever-cool nail polishes like You Don't Know Jacques and I'm Not Really a Waitress.
The person who gets to come up with those names has the coolest job ever, I think.
