Marketing - Cosmetics, Beauty / Perfumery | | French term or phrase: commande orientée | Here's the context:
"XXX (name of perfume) est le seul parfum pour lequel YYY (name of perfume designer) ait accédé aux souhaits de ZZZ (name of perfume house director). Il s’agit en effet d’une commande orientée. ZZZ a demandé à YYY de composer un parfum qui leur ressemblerait, et il a été rapidement conquis par ce que YYY lui a préparé.
Thanks in advance! |

| | commissioned (creation/work) | Explanation:
Turning the sentence in a slightly different manner:
This perfume is a commissioned creation, this is a commissioned perfume...
I think that this conveys the idea that the designer had to comply with some guidelines, instructions, i.e. could not create freely, following his sole personal inspiration.

Perhaps this highlights the fact that the order was specially designed for that one client.
