Estée Lauder sues Jo Malone and Zara UK over a fragrance line using Malone’s name, claiming it violates a 1999 agreement.
Estée Lauder has sued Jo Malone and Zara UK over the use of Malone’s name in a fragrance collaboration, claiming it breaches a 1999 agreement that restricted her from using her name for new fragrance lines.
The company argues the marketing, which labels the Zara products as “created by Jo Malone CBE, founder of Jo Loves,” misleads consumers and harms the Jo Malone London brand’s equity.
While Malone is allowed to run her Jo Loves brand, Estée Lauder contends her current use of her name violates the agreement’s intent.
The case, reported by the Financial Times, comes amid rising Gen Z interest in fragrances and follows a recent lawsuit against Walmart over counterfeit products.
