Revlon and Authentic Brands Group Announce Global Fragrance License for Legendary Sportswear Brand Champion
Deal Marks Second Licensing Agreement of the Year Between Revlon and Authentic
Revlon Consumer Products LLC today announced a new global fragrance licensing agreement with Authentic Brands Group’s Champion, the iconic American sportswear brand. This agreement expands Revlon’s fragrance portfolio and sets the stage for the launch of Champion’s first-ever signature fragrance collection, debuting in 2027.
Commenting on the agreement, Michelle Peluso, CEO of Revlon said: "Champion’s strong heritage and cultural relevance make it a powerful partner for Revlon. We are excited to welcome Champion into our portfolio of brands at this crucial time for both Champion and Revlon. As we focus on appealing to the next generation, we’re thrilled to bring Champion’s energy into the world of fragrance, another step forward in Revlon’s resurgence.”
The upcoming fragrance line will channel Champion’s heritage and modern aesthetic, offering signature scents for men and women that reflect the brand’s ethos: bold, confident, and unapologetically original.
“This partnership with Revlon is a natural extension of Champion’s evolution,” said Jarrod Weber, Global President – Sports & Lifestyle at Authentic Brands Group, owner of Champion. “As we expand our footprint in fashion and lifestyle, fragrance is the next frontier. And Revlon, a long-standing, trusted, and proven partner to Authentic, is uniquely positioned to help us craft a sensory experience that resonates with our global audience.
The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for both brands. Champion’s resurgence — fueled by nostalgic appeal, strategic collaborations, and a fresh retail presence — aligns seamlessly with Revlon’s revitalized focus on fragrance innovation and cultural relevance.
The Champion fragrance collection will be available globally in 2027, with further details to be revealed in the coming months.
This news follows a series of bold moves by Revlon to reinvigorate its fragrance business. In May, Revlon revealed a high-profile partnership with Grammy-nominated recording artist Ice Spice, marking its return to celebrity fragrances with a bespoke line debuting in 2026. And most recently, Juicy Couture’s latest fragrance launch, Just Moi, has reignited consumer excitement around one of Revlon’s most iconic scent brands. Together, these initiatives reflect Revlon’s strategic commitment to building a culturally resonant, lifestyle-driven fragrance portfolio for the next generation.
