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

What if it's the visuals?

 

You'll be sorry, then.

When we get a “throwing tomatoes” react, just know I’m coming back to this post.

Seriously?

 

 

Why would she bundle the visuals with damn perfume?

do those ugly ass ivy park drops look like quality to you ? 

 

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 

IVYPARK is her athleisure line but it's not inherently associated to her artistic brand like the RENAISSANCE era is, with which the perfume bottle/marketing follows its visual aesthetic

That being said, having purchased a few IVY PARK items, while some pieces may not LOOK cute (subjective) the quality is there. The stuff I got is well made, sturdy, good material, etc. I would expect those same qualities are in the perfume, whether we think the smell is ugly or not.

Furthermore, Beyoncé started IVY PARK in 2016 and has announced they are going separate ways, so it does in fact seem like she wants to focus on other things than "this ugly ass ivy park drops". In fact, didn't she IMMEDIATELY drop a couture collection with Balmain following the news? Clearly, she's focusing on a certain kind of luxury quality.

Yeah, she’s not fooling me again. She can keep the special gift

I was not, in fact, being serious. Obviously she would not be doing that, I'm just referencing the outrage that she is releasing perfume and not visuals.

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. 

Since LVMH has her chained for what seems like eternity, she should collab with Guerlain. Not least of all because the royal bee is the emblem of the house. She could do a limited edition perfume in the iconic flacon abeille. It'd make more sense as a collector's item.

Sorry @swissman didn't mean to come off as snooty.

 

I'm just waiting for my waffle combo to arrive and it hasn't yet.

 

So forgive me.

Last year at this time, weren't we fighting about how the album cover needed "more" and all that?

 

Remember when people photoshopped dance floors under Reneigh?

Take me to simpler times.

It's okay... in the words of Beyoncé in the Queens Remix: "I can take it".

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?

To be honest, I don’t care for the visuals anymore. But there’s something to be said about professionalism, she put out a trailer almost one year ago!! With no news, no acknowledgement, nothing.

When you are at your job, working on your most prized project and the deadline is tight you let everything go and you focus just on that. 
And one year later there are no saying that it will have a lasting impact. One video released at the same time as the song connects better and more. But that’s besides the point. 
 

Now I just want singles to be released. The era is one year old, we would still be at one single that came more than one year ago if it wasn’t for CI randomly going viral. And even then, fans had to BEG, HARASS Parkwood online without results until finally Columbia stepped in. So how is it surprising that her coming in the meantime with clothing, jewellery, perfume etc is annoying? I get why some are frustrated.

so it’s definitely not happening

yeah but that’s the whole problem her focus should be on music, not random luxury collections no one asked for  you are Beyoncé, a popstar, not the Kering Group.

 

sure make a tiffany’s ad here and there and wear their stuff on stage no big deal but all these random collections are just pointless (for us) and do nothing for her legacy, and seeing how many of her non-musical business endeavors don’t go far i doubt this does much for her wallet either (otherwise she wouldn’t throw this much at the wall to see what sticks)

 

no one will remember beyoncé the perfume and diamond necklace peddler… i don’t really care about her making money either, she’s a billionaire and doesn’t need more

The amount of traumas she's packed into one era without actually serving an era... dare I say that's kinda mother?

 

No visuals, olive oil, Dubai, cutting DIL and two album tracks on tour, hair care, perfume, attempting to make Church Girl a single...

 

Cruellé de Vil-Carter right there

As a Beyoncé stan I hope it's a roundly panned commercial misfire, unsold stock landing at discounters' by spring

TJ Maxx always has celebrity perfumes discounted. I remember buying a Britney box which included her perfume and some lotion for $20. I gifted it to a girlfriend of mine

maybe the real era is the mental illness we’ve developed together ?

By "lasting impact" I meant more in the future. In 50 years, no one really is going to know if a video came out at the time of release or not. But any fan who wants to go back and look at the visuals (assuming they are released by then lol) can, and they can either be rushed just to be put out, or something Beyoncé made sure was right to her standards. If you're a fan of an actor from the past, it doesn't really matter if their movies were successful, it matters if they were good. And any commercial or venture they did outside of their main work will be trivia. Anyway, this assumes the reason for the delay is about quality.

 Her having not made a Bee 🐝 bottle so far is indeed surprising. That’ll be so cool.

I forgot about the ******* olive oil that I ALMOST bought  

I woke up, opened my eyes, checked my email and the first thing I see is that hungry ho Giselle begging me to spend $160 for a perfume I won’t get until November… 

 

eat the rich, boycott beyoncé
