Preferred Fragrance

Preferred Fragrance is a leading developer and marketer of designer-inspired, proprietary, private label and licensed celebrity fragrances. Apra International, an affiliate of Preferred Fragrance, creates high-quality, affordably priced celebrity/designer fragrances. By introducing up and coming celebrity fragrances at affordable prices, they have carved out a piece of mass market fragrance sales by giving its consumer base something that the other leading market fragrance companies cannot offer due to their competitor’s inefficient cost structure. In 2010 Apra created the first fragrance by Platinum Recording Artist Jordin Sparks, “Jordin Sparks Because of You”, which was presented with the 2010 WWD Beauty Biz Award for “Best Executed Launch Strategy” in the Mass Fragrance category.
