Katy Perry, David Beckham, Sofia Vergara debut new fragrances
Lady Gaga recently announced that she’s introducing a new scent, Eau de Gaga, for fall. The fragrance, her second, is described as a woody-floral-citrus and is expected to be out in September. Meanwhile, a slew of celebrities have launched perfumes over the last few months. Here’s the rundown on a few of them.
Katy Perry
Killer Queen’s Royal Revolution
Created by perfumer Pierre Negrin of Firmenich for Coty, Royal Revolution is the fourth in Katy Perry’s collection of scents. It features top notes of pink freesia and red pomegranate with middle notes of sandalwood, orange flower and jasmine petals and base notes of skin musk, vanilla orchid and black thorn. Royalty is evoked by a Katy Perry custom royal crest on the sapphire bottle and an ad campaign with the singer in scepter and crown. Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum 3.4 ounces, $59. Available at Nordstrom.com.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia by Sofia Vergara
Sofia Vergara’s eponymous debut fragrance is described as a juicy oriental floral with blackberry and plum on top; violet, Colombian rose and Colombian Orchid in the middle with base notes of earthy woods and vanilla. Perfumer Bruno Jovanovic created the fragrance for Parlux, and Maesa designed the pretty, emerald-cut bottle as an ode to Vergara’s Colombian roots. Sofia by Sofia Vergara, Eau de Parfum, 3.4 ounces, $55. Available on HSN and at Perfumania.com.
David Beckham
Classic Blue
David Beckham’s newest scent is a twist on his Classic fragrance. A fruity burst of grapefruit and pineapple fused with fresh violet leads to a heart of clary sage, geranium and tart green apple accord. Cashmeran, patchouli and moss warm the bottom notes. Eau de Toilette, 2 ounces, $42. Available at Boots.com and Perfume.ThePerfumeshop.com. (Both are in Britain but ship to U.S.)
