"“She told me, she didn't expect Vada to end up at a store like Bloomingdale's, and she wouldn't want it there.” “She's selling her perfume directly to fans, with the aim of reaching women who, she said, 'don't feel like they're seen by the beauty industry'-who prioritize family and faith, even if they're building a career.”"
"“If the point of a perfume is not just to smell nice but also to project an identity, Aldean is selling the vision of a conservative woman who has it all.” “On Instagram, she posts idyllic shots from her Nashville-area farm, at the rodeo, and from backstage at Jason's concerts. Her kids, who are 7 and 8, are regularly featured in scenes from their family life-Little League games, Easter-egg hunts, moments goofing around at home.”"
"“She is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and visited the Oval Office earlier this month, during which time the president asked her to choose between two samples of marble, then handed her selection to a contractor to use in the new White House ballroom, she said.” “(A White House official told me that it cannot comment on private conversations that may or may not have happened.)”"
"“When Vada had a pop-up event in Athens, Georgia, women wrapped around the block to buy a bottle and take a picture with Aldean.” “Vada is not explicitly MAGA, but it codes conservative because Aldean herself does.”"
Brittany Aldean, known for her public life and her fragrance brand Vada, released its first three scents. She did not expect the line to appear in major department stores and would not want it there. Vada is sold directly to fans, targeting women who feel overlooked by the beauty industry and who prioritize family and faith while building careers. Aldean presents an image of a conservative woman with a full life through social media posts featuring her farm, rodeo events, concerts, and her children. She is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and has shared stories about interactions connected to the White House. Customers have shown strong interest at pop-up events, lining up to buy bottles and meet her.
