Fashion designer, Josie Natori, announces her vibrant new fragrance, JOSIE.
From the House of Natori, designer Josie Natori launches her dynamic new fragrance, JOSIE. Vibrant and modern, the JOSIE scent breaks rules and breaks out – bringing an exhilarating approach to sensuality!
Josie Natori is a visionary designer who reimagined an industry, erasing the boundary between innerwear and outerwear by elevating the concept of lingerie for consumers around the globe. Over her 37-year career, Josie has turned simple elements of daily life into beautiful essentials.
Of all the brands that comprise the House of Natori, JOSIE is the designer’s most eclectic expression.

I couldn’t be happier with the JOSIE fragrance and the long– term partnership that we’re building with the Natori team.” — Tony Bajaj, Chief Executive Officer, LUXE Brands
THE INSPIRATION
The JOSIE brand is multi-cultural, multi-faceted and multi-hued. The JOSIE woman has a youthful attitude and vibrant spirit. She proudly banishes beige and lives passionately in full color. Natori brings this attitude to life by using pops of color, bold graphics, and an intriguing mix of patterns & textures in her designs.
The JOSIE brand’s next realm is olfactive, translating the essence of JOSIE fashion into a new scent with a spirited energy and sexy edge. Inspired by JOSIE women who live life with no rules, no pretenses, and no apologies — from the scent to the rule-breaking packaging, each element of the JOSIE fragrance is juxtaposed to capture the energetic spirit of the JOSIE woman.
“I wanted to create a fragrance for JOSIE that exudes charisma. I am thrilled with the scent – it truly captures the essence of the brand. Today’s woman knows that there is value in expressing her true self and the JOSIE fragrance, a beautiful sensual scent, gives her one more way to express her irrepressible individual style.” — Josie Natori
THE FRAGRANCE
Vibrant. Confident. Effortlessly Sexy.
The JOSIE fragrance is about sensuality that sparkles, and floats, and envelops, and effortlessly says “I’m here…come closer.” JOSIE is a sexy, contemporary scent that is a beautiful blend of energetic femininity and enveloping sensuality.
The introduction
The fragrance opens with a vibrant accord of crisp Asian Pear and Bergamot showered with luscious Dewy Leaves to announce “I’m here.”
The heart
A voluptuous bouquet of Sampaguita, Freesia, and Wild Orchid playfully radiates a feminine point of view.
The national flower of the Philippines, Sampaguita’s name is derived from ‟sumpa kita‟ which means „I promise you‟; and the Sampaguita flower is a symbol of love.
The close
The intoxicating mixture of Sandalwood and White Musk intensifies with Patchouli – leaving a sexy and addictive trail of see-through sensuality.
“There is a confidence that comes alive in Josie’s lingerie….sexy, yet still approachable. We mirrored that feeling in the fragrance, showcasing the signature Sampaquita flower from Josie’s native Philippines with texture from patchouli and woods, and bold strokes of color.” — Perfumer Frank Voelkl and Master Perfumer Honorine Blanc
THE PACKAGING
A unique contemporary work of art, the JOSIE fragrance packaging captures the brand’s design aesthetic in a bold and innovative way. The bottle is unapologetically daring. In front, it has charisma to spare with bold black & white graphic columns. From the side, its distinct modern silhouette is juxtaposed with the modern transparency of a see-through dip tube in JOSIE‟s signature red.
The carton offers its own unique twist on the classic black & white graphic and surprises with a burst of feminine florals inside. The Collection packaging is beautifully mismatched to achieve a statement of perfect imperfection.
