Formally introduced by Glade® and Rancic during an event on January 19 in New York City, the collection is a whole new way to experience home fragrance, with true-to-life scents and unique designs. The Glade® Expressions™ Collection includes four on-trend fragrances that combine classic scents with an exotic twist, including Cotton & Italian Mandarin, Pineapple & Mangosteen, Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice and Lavender & Juniper Berry.

"I've always been a huge fan of Glade®, which is why I'm so excited about the Glade® Expressions™ Collection," said Rancic. "I love how the fragrances are familiar and comforting but with a modern twist, which not only matches my design taste perfectly, but also helps make my home feel welcoming and guest-ready."

Always at the forefront of fashion and pop culture, Rancic lends a seasoned perspective on style and decor and will be sharing her tips and insights on the Glade® Facebook Page throughout the partnership. As someone with her finger on the pulse of everything from fashion, beauty and celebrity trends, Rancic has developed an unwavering eye for design. With the help of the Glade® Expressions™ Collection, she hopes to inspire other women to create an ambiance that is both inviting and a true reflection of personal style.

Fragrance Inspired by Cutting-Edge Trends

As the worldwide leader in home fragrance, Glade® relies on a process that ensures its offerings are unique, authentic and stimulating. The development process for a Glade® fragrance taps into a rich history in fragrance development and begins with an in-depth look at current lifestyle trends.

"Glade® has been a trusted name in home fragrance for nearly 60 years and continues to appeal to modern consumers," said Kelly M. Semrau, Senior Vice President – Global Corporate Affairs, Communication and Sustainability. "The Glade® Expressions™ Collection is truly unlike anything else currently on the market, not only for its innovative and contemporary product designs, but also for the unparalleled scent experience it offers consumers."

Inspired by current sentiments of maintaining a sense of wellbeing and balance in an increasingly hectic society, the latest fragrances in the Glade® Expressions™ Collection were blended by leading Glade® perfumers to combine notes of the familiar with touches of the exotic for fragrances that comfort and inspire.
