• holding that the purchasers of expensive perfumes “are likely to devote a high degree of care and attention to their selection”
• finding an arbitrary mark to be conceptually strong but considering that it “is not widely recognized in the marketplace and cannot be deemed particularly strong commercially, or analogous to the famous ‘designer’ trademarks,” found the mark not particularly strong overall
• plaintiff’s mark is weak because, among other things, its shops “have never advertised or otherwise promoted NOTORIOUS clothing.”
• “Differences in the typeface of the marks are considered in determining the similarity between the two_ This difference serves to distinguish the marks visually.”
