Product Information

In 2017, French Connection appointed two new independent directors, after facing pressure from investors. Reportedly, the first use of the initialism was on faxes sent between Hong Kong and London offices, headed "FCHK to FCUK". Stephen Marks, who started out in business in 1969 as the Stephen Marks brand, established French Connection in 1972 – a year after the film of the same name was released. With no disrespect to my fellow reviewers intended, I cannot fathom how this fragrance can be described as 'soapy'. It was Beattie who spotted the marketing potential of the initialism and a campaign was launched around it.

In 1983, her eponymous higher-end label was launched by the French Connection parent group and this was not sold until 2010. It would also be a reasonable fragrance for a teenage boy as an every day use fragrance in the warmer months. Companies target teens with "Scent to Bed" ad campaign Archived 2007-07-15 at the Wayback Machine, American Family Association.The success of the branding in raising French Connection's profile led to similar tactics from other organisations. Following a number of complaints about advertising campaigns using the initialism, the UK's Advertising Standards Authority requested that the company submit all poster campaigns for approval before running them. Initially designed as a mid-market women's brand, he has said the name came about because he managed to acquire a large shipment of Indian cheesecloth shirts – via a French contact – that could be resold in the UK at a large profit.

The FCUK, also known as French Connection, fragrance range was an inevitable step for this fashion heavyweight. Perhaps it may smell like the very cheapest hand soap in a public bathroom, but even saying that is being generous. I'll give it credit for its longevity - a typical lavender fragrance usually has a lower lifespan than this, however in the case of this juice, a longer life only prolongs the misery. Just think of taking Royal Copenhagen, Lagerfeld Classic, or similar "powdery" sweet scents and inject some pungent lavender into it. It is a good, cheap gym bag fragrance or something to keep in your bag or locker at work for a hot day.Being deliberately similar to the taboo word " fuck", French Connection's use of "fcuk" caused widespread controversy. The advertising campaign came about after he was so impressed by a bra advert featuring Eva Herzigová that he contacted the advertising executive behind it, Trevor Beattie, even though the company did not have a budget for an advertising campaign at the time.

Example of use in UK press in 2013: "FCUK marketing says first black and white shoot for brand by photographer Rankin is in line with its 'edgy' image". com was registered prior to French Connection applying for the UK Trademark and its claim for passing off was dismissed.French Connection represents the majority of French Connection Group's revenue (some 88 per cent in 2014), however it owns a number of other clothing/homewear brands, including YMC, Great Plains and TOAST.
