After announcing the launch of her debut fragrance back in July, actress and singer Selena Gomez has finally decided on how the scent will smell — letting her fans decide on the notes. After boyfriend Justin Bieber’s debut scent Someday broke records last year and earned US$3 million (RM9.31 million) in its first three weeks on sale at US department store Macy’s, the pressure was on Gomez to come up with a best-selling scent.
Fans have been voting at selenagomezperfumes.com since last fall, and it was announced this week that the top note will be raspberry, the middle will be purple freesia and the base will include vanilla. Further details on the fragrance are still to be announced, although it has been revealed the scent will launch at Macy’s this May.
After the publishers of perfume tome Fragrances of the World by Michael Edwards revealed a total of 73 celebrity scents were launched in 2011, Gomez’s innovative approach may help her stand out in another year set to be dominated by celebrity scents, with launches by Madonna and Lady Gaga in spring 2012 predicted to be big sellers.
