Here's a better pic of the bottle! http://twitpic.com/9u80xe/full
The NOTES are
Tears of Belladonna
Crushed heart of Tiger Orchidea
Black veil of incense
Pulverized Apricot
essences of saffron and honey drops
First of it's kind, this perfume is an innovation in fluid technology. It's black like the soul of FAME but invisible once it's airborne
This is gonna be some heavy shit. Can't wait!! 
Here's the box

not gonna lie, Im not a fan of Lady Gaga(her creativity is pretty cool though) and her obnoxious music(no offense fans) all my sisters and friends used to annoy the hell out of me when they blasted her music up loud X_x..yeah, I just dont like her music, its not my cup of tea..-_- but I have to say this fragrance looks pretty cool!
the juice color and bottle! I just hope it smells as good as it looks, I cant wait to try it,..based on the color of the juice this looks like something you shouldn't spray on your clothes unless u want it to stain :'D
Well, seeing the notes , I am curious now. I don't care who it is by. If its a great perfume I will wear it. Hell, I have Paris Hilton Perfumes and she makes me queasy.
This is gonna be some heavy shit. Can't wait!!
You crack me up! 
Isn't it interesting how social mores change over the years?
Metallica used for an album cover a photograph by Andres Serrano using bovine blood and his own bodily fluids entitled "Semen and Blood III" and people lost their minds.
Cut to 2012 and it's reported that Lady Gaga is making a perfume that smells like semen and blood (this has turned out to be untrue), and people are in an anticipatory fury (or bloodlust) of praise and adoration.
Of course,this could serve not only as a commentary on changing values, but also contrast in reception between pop music and that of other genres...goddamn Gaga fans.
I can't see why people would be excited by a cologne that smells like blood and semen, but I'm weird that way.
Have you been reading any of the comments are did you take one look at "Gaga releasing a perfume" as a headline and run for the hills? Not one person on here had said anything about blood and semen and from the notes that seems not to be the case. If that were in here and it smelled horrible I wouldn't even look at the scent but the box is nice, the bottle is cool, the juice looks and sounds cool and I'm diggin' the notes so I will be searching for this. She debunked those blood and semen rumors last year. Did you know that?
"Someone else in this thread did make a comment regarding this, so I didn't pluck it out of thin air. I make it a point to attempt to thoroughly read previous posts before commenting."
What I meant was nobody made a comment about WANTING it to smell like Blood and Semen and from your second post you went on a rant as if the general consensus was that that was the desired smell.
Gaga hadn't ever announced it would smell like Blood and Semen. That was "Sources Say" stuff. This is COTY we're talking about. You really think they'd go for that?
"So I acknowledged that the frag is no longer going to be the rumoured notes,"
It wasn't ever going to be those notes
I will def give it a sniff if I come across it. Not because its Gaga, but simply because I like to smell every new perfume if I can!
Oh and I saw her in concert in London at the O2 arena and there were no condoms or any freebies of any kind being handed out.
She's a star, just like any star. I actually find her talented in some ways and I do think she is a well trained musician, but I think like most stars she is a drama queen and that is very unappealing.
I agree with Tim, all he was saying is wow! What a leap we have taken as a society, and not in a good way. that blood and semen was even a rumor is gross. And I agree, I know it's all hype and drama, but really, could those notes have been listed more pretentiously? I'm sure it will smell good; all hype aside, at her heart, she is a classically trained musician who likes fashion and perfumes as well, I'm sure. But then again, it could smell like crap. I guess we will see.
I will smell it when it comes out, because I smell every perfume I come across, that's just me!
I was shocked to find out she is talented. She has a fun, and shockingly good duet with Tony Bennet. BUT that has nothing to do with the perfume.Paris Hilton has decent perfumes and her talent ? We won't go there.
I didn't really see her doing blood and semen . Why ? No one would buy that .What is confusing me is why people are getting snippy. It is a perfume. It will be whatever it turns out to be. RELAX PEOPLE. It isn't that big a deal.
Oh and I saw her in concert in London at the O2 arena and there were no condoms or any freebies of any kind being handed out.
Why I said supposedly. It was something I read somewhere.
I haven't been to any of her shows. Maybe she hasn't done it in a while since she's probably performing at big arena concerts instead of "shows"
Here's the ad for those who are curious.
I'm personally pretty psyched. No matter how gimmicky Gaga can be she's undeniably talented and she writes her music- which I really respect because it's good! :]
I just hope the perfume matches the level of her outfits
& so what about the pretentiousness of the notes list? a great many perfume ads and descriptions of perfumes by the company are totally pretentious "blah blah blah by armani will whisk you away on notes of blah blah and envelop you in blah blah blah" lol sillyness.

i gained so much respect for lady gaga after seeing her on her monster ball tour, soo much natural talent, i was literally blown away. first pop star that has caught my attention in YEARS, anywho, i'll be trying this one.
I will be trying this because I don't think I've ever smelled anything with Belladona and because its black!

Yeah, it's not like we never get to see any "pretentious" notes lists following new perfume releases! It's supposed to convey an image and add a pinch of magic to the product, in order to seduce future customers! Us perfume maniacs should have become immune to all of this marketing blabber! (erm, okay, forget about this last sentence)
Oh, and as a heavy metal fan, I can't help but swoon over this black juice turning transparent thingy! Corny, I know...

I think it must be a fashionable note atm because Illamasqua make a perfume called Freak which contains it - http://www.basenotes.net/content/1228-I … n-of-Freak
So if you're anywhere near Selfridges in London, or you live near Liverpool or Leeds you should check it out and see if you can identify the note!

I like Gaga, but I'm not the biggest fan... but this definitely calls my attention as I really like the bottle. Very Thierry-Mugler-esque, which actually makes sense.

EXACTLY THE SAME!! I was kinda...hmm...this chick is cool but she's omnipresent..it was getting on my nerves. Then I watched the monster ball tour and fell in love!! I totally understood where she's coming from and what she's about. Her songs have always been mediocre but watching her perform? wow..I own the dvd now and watch it regularly..she's cooool!
About the perfume..think it sounds cool and yes..it's gimmicky but is lady gaga really gonna release a rectangle clear bottle with a rectangle lid that contains a fruity floral pink juice? no...
I can't wait to smell it regardless....if the juice is good? i'm gonna get it (with a slight fear of smelling like a bazillion of her fans haha)
Ouch is just too goddamn sexy! I wanna sniff this on his skin!
Whatever. It's weird. I'm still curious though 
Breaking down the notes.... Is it Belladonna fruit? Flower ? As the flower itself isn't really fragrant, or is it the Belladonna Lily?
So I imagine it's going to be a lily, orchid, insence, saffron, honey, apricot & berry scent. Maybe the berry of belladonna idea is used, hence the black juice, which is sweet.. sort of like currents... Hmmm
