Radar Up & coming brands Newness to the fore A showcase of six brands with an original approach to beauty Undergreen Headquarters: Paris, France Launch date: 2012 Prices: €135 (EdP 100ml) to €300 (Elixir de Parfum 100ml) Undergreen is a high-end natural perfume designer house based on natural chemistry, created by Patrice Cardenoso and Jérôme Bonnet. Why it's interesting: Described as the 'new generation' natural perfumery, Undergreen was created to offer a contemporary and elegant alternative in a market where the range of natural fragrances available is limited, says Cardenoso. The idea behind Undergreen is to play up the relationship between nature and chemistry, drawing inspiration from nature and magnifying it by using environmentally-friendly extraction methods and modern-day technologies. The company says the result is 100% natural EdPs, which are signed by Fabrice Olivieri. Strategy & upcoming plans: The brand is present in select outlets in France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain and the US, and is concentrating on expanding its export business, particularly in the US. Undergreen is also looking to enhance its visibility at the point of sale through workshop events with the perfumer, where consumers can learn about the process of natural perfume making. Friedemodin Headquarters: London, UK Launch date: 2012 Prices: £69/$114 (30ml) to £155/$255 (3 x 30ml trio collection) Friedemodin is a London-based niche fragrance brand founded by German and Swedish duo Nina Friede and Elisabeth Modin. Why it's interesting: Friedemodin calls itself a Combination Perfumery house, which, according to Modin, means that "each perfume in the collection plays its own special role and all the perfumes together tell the whole story". The fragrances, signed by French perfumer François Robert, are created as standalone scents that can be blended to create bespoke fragrances. Strategy & upcoming plans: Friedemodin is sold in 25 exclusive boutiques and department stores in Germany, Sweden and India, as well as online, and it is focusing on expanding into the UK, US, Middle East and Eastern Europe. Product development includes a new collection due out in mid 2014, new discovery sets and an amenity line for hotels and airlines. Sales are supported by personal appearances, events, store displays and sampling in stores. 74 March-April 2014 - N°17 - BW Confidential
