Avon Products Inc. and actor Patrick Dempsey are teaming up to create a new signature men’s fragrance. The 42-year-old actor is probably best known to you as McDreamy on the ABC television series “Grey’s Anatomy.”
The fragrance is set to debut in the United States in November of 2008 with a global launch in 2009.
“We are thrilled to partner with Patrick Dempsey-an incredibly accomplished actor who has achieved such broad appeal because of his genuine authenticity, charisma and style,” Avon Products Chairman and CEO Andrea Jung said in a statement. “We’re extremely impressed with both his on and off screen accomplishments, and have a shared commitment to giving back to communities in ways both big and small,” Jung added.
“This is an extremely exciting opportunity for me to work with Avon — a brand I have long respected as a global powerhouse with a lot of heart and soul,” said Dempsey. “The brand reaches every corner of the globe with more than just high quality products — it creates economic empowerment for women through its earning opportunity, and has an excellent reputation for corporate philanthropy through their Avon Foundation. My wife Jillian has enjoyed her experience working with Avon, and I look forward to joining the family as well.”
Patrick Dempsey is an award-winning actor, taking home a Screen Actors Guild Award and People’s Choice Award in 2007 for his work on Grey’s Anatomy. You can see Patrick on the big screen soon in romantic comedy movie entitled “Made of Honor,” which opens nationwide in the U.S. on May 2, 2008.
