No one is going to make you buy the perfume.

 

The fact that it is released is not a detriment to anything.

 

There is no way Beyoncé said "it can only be the perfume or the visuals; I choose perfume."

 

I think a lot of us would be happier if we just got excited about what is happening and/or ignore that which does not give us joy, and stop focusing on only what we expect to happen.

 

Like, my gosh. We've been complaining since the Lemonade era ended.

She released an Ivy Park collection, an Amazon music merch collection and a perfume in the same month. Yes, I am complaining.

Edited July 19, 20233 yr by Draper.

atp she’s really just pushing us to break character 

someone quick hire bebe’s phone thrower 

She’s doing The Five Senses of Renaissance.

 

First we got to hear the album. Now we get to smell it. Then next up will be a collaboration meal with Burger King where we will get to taste it. Seeing it will be last with the visuals. Oh Beyoncé the innovator you are

plus those exclusive merch stores and technically the Balmain collection…

 

like hang it up you won’t have your fenty empire and unlike the other girls you don’t need it 

I hope it’s at least somehow quality. Not Dior or those other brands good but way above otherwise that price will make very little sense. 
 

Dominique Ropion’s perfumes are around twice of that price and he is a renown « nez » and you just need to spray his perfume once. I guess the segment for her perfume is the types that would buy Tiffany and her celeb friends. I hope she’s successful with it, her perfume brand used to be very popular. But the ones buying them are certainly not the ones who would buy this.

Touch is a Bad Dragon disco ball horse dildo collaboration 

The fact that it's $160 for 1.7 fl oz too. There are tried and true iconic masterpieces that are less expensive for 2.5 fl oz at least. She couldn't do a 2.5 for the Hive? I can't

None of these things seem like that big of a deal though. She's been releasing IVYPARK, and it would seem to be the last of it as they've announced their split. She's selling TOUR MERCH while ON TOUR, and announced a perfume to be released in coming months. It's really not that serious, and all but the perfume are pretty predictable.

I think her perfume is roughly in the same price range of Rihanna’s Fenty perfume. So the price checks out if the quality is there.

Fenty EDP is $20 less and the bottle holds 50% more perfume

anyway if this isn’t the single greatest smelling perfume ever created then i hope it gets recalled for safety issues, i am TIRED

that's the thing... we need to know its quality before assessing how shocking and appalled we should be regarding its price.

 

and at this point in Beyoncé career, considering how selective she is about her brand, I highly doubt she's not going to at least try to make it of quality.

 

anyway just signed up to be notified when it's available

Are we neglecting the perfume's "special gift with purchase"?

What if it's the visuals?

 

You'll be sorry, then.

I saw so many and thought something interesting had finally happened?
But it’s just so funny how there are all those excuses when it comes to her doing anything for the fans : « something happened » « they are real people living real life » « she has a family now and she’s married now so her priorities have shifted » « she’s not ready, it’ll come when she feels like it » « her foot! » meanwhile the Tifany’s ads are on point and on time. The Ivy Park’s various drops have ads that could be music videos, with direction, budgets and posts everywhere, there are perfumes and haircare lines coming. Actually she’s incredibly busy, just not that invested in music other than touring. 

There is no way that it’s harder to make a whole perfume than sending a song to radio, putting it on some playlists and releasing a video.  

Also funny she added "FRANCE CREATED IN FRANCE / ENCASED IN ART / CRAFTE AND DESIGNED BY BEYONCÉ"

 

They wanted us to know this is not sitting next to Heat on the shelves.

I bet it smells of old lady

 

very hag behavior of her

if she holds the visuals hostage by bundling them as a perfume exclusive im learning all the words to Pretty Girl Rock 

 

 

 

CRAFTED AND DESIGNED BY BEYONCÉ

 

SPECIAL GIFT WITH PURCHASE, WHILE QUANTITIES LAST

But do you not agree that the visuals for RENAISSANCE will have a more lasting impact, wider reach, and serve as more important work both culturally and artistically than any IVYPARK ad, Tiffany promo, or perfume bottle will? The fact that she can multi-task and produce these rather low-stakes things (in the overall scheme of her career) is not surprising. She's always done so. But one thing not mentioned in the list of reasons is "I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my work". Coming off three visual albums, each better than the last, being a VIRGO at that, I assume there is not only pressure to exceed but a desire to release something of truly great quality. If she feels she has not achieved that, she has every right to delay. If working on other things in the meantime can be done while adjusting the visuals, she can do that too. And as a fan I'm going to assume and support her delay being due to wanting to make the best visuals possible, NOT that she simply is too lazy to work on her own projects, or that she simply wants to keep it from us.

 

(the part about radio, I get though...)

the special gift will be a black cardboard box, a shirt with crumbs on it and i’ll be sorry for the people who bought it 

Actually if it’s 1.7 fl oz, it’s exactly the same price as Dominique Ropion. 
Maybe she really came to France, went to Grace and snatched a real « nez » to create this with. 
 

I hope it smells good and she can advance her perfume empire.

 

If she could at least release Heated and AS as well. If she has time for all this side stuff, a single can’t be too complicated.
