Celebrity perfumes seems to be the norm these days. Pop singer Beyoncé has just officially launched her perfume, ‘Heat’.  The warm tones of the perfume bottle definitely matches the name.

This is Beyoncé’s first perfume, and she is reported to be extremely happy about the final product.

“I’m so happy with it. I’ve been working on it for a while now. I was on tour for a year, and I have meet-and-greets with fans. I’ve never in my life gotten so many compliments. Coty has their own testing, but that was my testing! The fans loved it. They were like, ‘I love that, I’m getting that, why isn’t it out right now? I need it!”

The pop singer also indicated that she got inspiration for the red vanilla orchid and magnolia fragrance from her world-wide tours.

“A lot of my performances have had fire involved, so we thought ‘Heat.’ Also, red is one of my favorite colors, as is gold,” she said.

Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) reported on Thursday, February 12 that our American sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston, might be launching her own perfume line in the near future. She is said to be currently meeting with manufacturers to distinguish what her trademark scent should be.

Details are still sketchy. When asked to confirm the report, Jennifer’s representative said, “We’re not in a position to confirm or deny this.”

Jennifer’s arch nemisis, Angelina Jolie, was also rumored to be launching a ’sexy’ scent last year, however, it never transpired.

The former Big Brother contestant, Jade Goody, was promoting her new perfume, ‘Controversial’, in London on Tuesday night.

She looked great appearing in a little black dress and Christian Louboutin heels. As the night wore on, however, she managed to drop a bottle of her perfume after throwing it in the air. Then she flashed her thighs to the audience as some random person hoisted her into his arms. On top of all the mishaps, she apparently had trouble spelling the name of her own perfume.

When asked by Heatworld to spell the name, she was reported to have replied,

“I can’t… I would have no idea. I don’t know. It’s ‘con’ C-O-N and then I’m lost. Is that even right? I wouldn’t have known.”

I’m not sure what to make of the new perfume, but the name is definitely very fitting. Do you think?

Kim Kardashian is the latest celebrity to launch her own perfume.

The former girlfriend of R&B singer Ray J is currently busy creating a perfume that is ‘uniquely hers’. Kardashian’s new perfume is scheduled to hit the stores in the U.S., Australia, Enlgand, Germany, and Japan during May of next year.

Here’s an excerpt from Kardashian’s blog discussing about her perfume:

“It has always been a dream of mine to start my own perfume business, since I love to mix fragrances together and come up with new and different scents! I hope you understand my total excitement as I let you, the readers of my blog, become the first to know that I am creating my own fragrance!!!

I went to my local CVS store recently and saw a bunch of “Impression” perfumes. I was rather amused by them because they were basically imitations of pricey perfumes sold in high-end department stores. There were titles such as “Impression of Happy by Clinique” and “Impression of Beautiful by Estee Lauder.” Although these perfumes were knocks-offs, but at least they were not counterfeit products that claimed to be the real thing.

Unfortunately for CVS Caremark Corp, Family Dollar Stores Inc., and Preferred Fragrance Inc. (who made the knock-offs), Estee Lauder Cosmetic Inc. filed a federal lawsuit against them on Wednesday. Estee Lauder accused CVS and Family Dollar of selling imitation products that used their actual registered trademarks and/or names that were very similar to the original ones.

The suit included accusations of “trademark infringement, false advertising, diluting their trademarks and unfair competition.” It seeks for an injunction to stop CVS and Family Dollar from selling the products and asking for damages of up to $1 million for each individual type of knock-offs … read more »
