America’s Next Top Model Intoxicates Viewers with New Scent:
DREAM COME TRUE™
Innovated by Creative Beauty Agency, HATCHBEAUTY LLC.

Santa Monica, CA – October 27, 2011 -- HATCHBEAUTY and its Creative Director Ben Bennett, one of the beauty industry’s most admired innovative forces, has partnered with CBS Consumer Products to license a series of exclusive fragrances for The CW’s top-rated reality program America’s Next Top Model (ANTM). The first-ever ANTM fragrance is fittingly named DREAM COME TRUE™.

The new fragrance was revealed on last night’s episode of ANTM, in which host Tyra Banks announced that the winner of this cycle’s ANTM will be made the official spokeswoman of this brand new fragrance.

The DREAM COMETRUE™ fragrance will be available January 15, 2012, at Target retail locations nationwide, Target.com  and www.shopdreamcometrue.com

As part of the on-air integration, Bennett appeared as a guest expert on Episode 7 of ANTM’s cycle 17, airing on October 26th at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The HATCHBEAUTY team collaborated with producers to create a Fragrance Challenge, in which each contestant developed and marketed a unique scent that conveyed her personality.

“Working with these very dynamic women was an exhilarating experience,” said Bennett. “The excitement and enthusiasm that pervades the set inspired our inaugural scent, DREAM COME TRUE™. There is a joie de vivre that the contestants conveyed that we tried to capture in the fragrance.”

 DREAM COME TRUE™ is a Warm Tahitian Vanilla infused with intoxicating blooms of Amazonian Lily and Empress Peony. Revealing a fresh seductive aroma with the barest hint of pink sugar and sparkling musk, the scent, just like the models, is flirtatious, fun and sophisticated.

With over 15 years as an industry watchdog, trend forecaster and under-the-radar beauty brand guru, Bennett was called upon for his tremendous category expertise, great taste and pedigree. Internationally known for his trend intelligence and beauty brand prowess, Bennett has recently stepped out as the mastermind behind such brands as Salma Hayek’s new multi-category beauty line, Nuance, and was delighted to be a part of this latest project.

The partnership between HATCHBEAUTY, LLC and CBS Consumer Products will involve the introduction of multiple fragrances and collaboration with future cycle winners, who will work with HATCHBEAUTY as part of every grand prize package going forward.

America’s Next Top Model is an aspirational show that gives viewers an inside look into the fashion and beauty industry,” said Liz Kalodner, Executive Vice President and General Manager of CBS Consumer Products. “A Top Model fragrance is a natural fit, and the show's producers and HATCHBEAUTY did a fantastic job creating a unique challenge to showcase the introduction.”

DREAM COME TRUE™ will be available January 15, 2012 at Target and Target.com and on the ANTM website (URL TBD) in 1 fl. Ounce EDT ($21.99) and 30 MLPerfume Rollerball ($12.99).
