George Clooney Fragrance Deal with Coty gets Funky

As reported by the NY Post, George Clooney’s fragrance deal has gone bust!  He was working with a company called Coty inc.  So of course I had to do a little investigating myself.  Just what is this Coty Company all about, and how come they refused George’s request for more money?  We are talking about George Clooney you know.

Well after looking at their website, it appears that Coty is a fragrance heavy hitter.  All of the sites posting this story gloss over all the brands that Coty is behind which are listed below.

So when Georgie-boy asks for 30 million, either he knew what he was doing, or Coty knew how much his name was really worth – and the deal fell through. 

A Clooney rep told the NY Post Page Six that “George seemed to be not that keen, unless the deal really made it worth his while. But Coty pulled out, saying this figure made the deal impossible”  I wonder if that was really George or did someone in his camp screw things up on his behalf.

From the list of all the fragrances I wonder who could or would compare to Clooney and how much are they making.  Is Clooney bigger then all these stars?  I think my answer would be yes (maybe Celine can give him a run for his money).

What do you think?
