About this deal

With its unique and captivating scents, the FCUK collection is sure to leave you feeling confident and refreshed all day long. The company threatened legal action against the political youth organisation Conservative Future, which had briefly adopted the spoof abbreviation "cfuk" (short for "Conservative Future UK").

It was Beattie who spotted the marketing potential of the initialism and a campaign was launched around it.

From the popular FCUK Friction Pulse, Friction Night, Homme and Connect ranges, to grooming essentials like deodorants and body washes, this collection has something for everyone. It is a good, cheap gym bag fragrance or something to keep in your bag or locker at work for a hot day. Fcuk Friction Her and Friction Him (2012) – Women's perfume includes notes of coconut and vanilla, men's includes citrus.

Fcuk Connect Her and Fcuk Connect Him (2007) – Men's and women's ranges with base notes including musk. Being deliberately similar to the taboo word " fuck", French Connection's use of "fcuk" caused widespread controversy. With no disrespect to my fellow reviewers intended, I cannot fathom how this fragrance can be described as 'soapy'. 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. Fcuk Her and Fcuk Him (2003) – Original women's perfume by Zirh/Shiseido and men's perfume by James Krivda.The 'bug spray' and hospital-grade 'chemical' comparisons are getting close to describing this offensive, synthetic mess, but I feel are still too kind.

Despite this lowering of the profile, French Connection remains known as "fcuk", particularly by the UK press. French Connection began using the branding " fcuk" (usually written in lowercase) in advertising after 1991 when Marks regained control. 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. The success of the branding in raising French Connection's profile led to similar tactics from other organisations.Companies target teens with "Scent to Bed" ad campaign Archived 2007-07-15 at the Wayback Machine, American Family Association. 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". The FCUK, also known as French Connection, fragrance range was an inevitable step for this fashion heavyweight.

The company became notorious for the use of the "fcuk" initialism in its advertising campaigns in the early 2000s. 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. Mr Justice Rattee refused to grant an injunction, describing French Connection's use of the initialism as "a tasteless and obnoxious campaign. Perhaps it may smell like the very cheapest hand soap in a public bathroom, but even saying that is being generous.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. These perfumes are made of floral and oriental notes and remain appealing to this day for being high quality at affordable pricing. The bottle is cheap also - it is prone to falling over if slightly nudged, and the sprayer is unpredictable at best. The lavender of Hypnose, the vanilla and airy not-leather of John Varvatos, the spicy, smoky green heart of Fever for Men by Celine. com was registered prior to French Connection applying for the UK Trademark and its claim for passing off was dismissed.
