The first fragrance from Queen Latifah, the charismatic and curvaceous award-winning rapper, actress and singer will debut Fall 2009, in the US, with an international roll-out shortly thereafter. According to Queen Latifah, “Beauty really does start on the inside. It's like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. So I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: scent expresses a woman’s confidence and sensuality, it’s how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength.”

“Queen Latifah exudes a radiant confidence and inimitable style,” Neil Katz, Chairman and CEO of Parlux Fragrances, Inc. observes. “Individuals of all ages connect with her compelling charisma and her compassion. Every woman is a Queen in Latifah’s world. With that sense of empowerment in mind, this first fragrance, Queen, naturally, expresses not simply beauty and sensuality but inner strength and an exuberant sense of confidence.”

THE FRAGRANCE

The glimmer of warmth illuminates the opening notes of QUEEN by Queen Latifah. A sparkling, sumptuous golden accord, reminiscent of aged Tequila, shines the light on citrus notes of Italian Bergamot and Mediterranean Mandarin. Sultry, sensual, remarkably rare Baie Rose harmonizes with Jasmine Noir, while Cognac, authoritative and intriguing, meets aromatic Moroccan Coriander as the heart of the fragrance comes to life. The base notes create a powerful, mysterious accord for this deep, rich Oriental fragrance: Indonesian Patchouli and precious Sandalwood enhance the soft allure of Vanilla and Tonka Absolute. The fragrance finishes with a graceful sojourn, made memorable with passionate Egyptian Incense and sexy Musk.

THE BOTTLE

Ruby red, delicately faceted and edged with gold borders, the bold, sexy square bottle is as dynamic as Queen Latifah herself. A dimensional heart emerges on the façade, reinforcing Queen’s message of beauty from within.

THE QUEEN by Queen Latifah COLLECTION

The bold, sexy fragrance collection includes: Eau de Parfum Spray - 3.4 oz., Eau de Parfum Spray - 1.7 oz., Body Lotion - 6.0 oz., Body Butter - 5.0 oz.

Every celebrity has a fragrance nowadays. I love Queen Latifah. I think she has a very unique style and I love her personality. I'm a lover of jasmine, vanilla, patchouli and tonka. So, I can't wait to try her bottle of perfume. The bottle alone looks interesting enough.

I LOVE Queen Latifah. I agree with what everyone else says about her, so no need to explain more. This sounds like a classy scent, but I might be too young to wear it.

WHAT?! NO FRUIT??! Thank goodness! I'm intrigued with the boozy notes and the powerful base. Hope they don't skimp on the base--that's usually where they go cheap with celebriscents, alongside of the concentration.

I am a fan of this strong, beautiful, intelligent woman and will be interested in testing her scent, particularly since it's in a genre that I typically love, the floral oriental.

Queen Latifah has much involvement in beauty industry in US and also much charism with the female public. She launched a makeup line with Covergirl and now this fragrance. I think she has a remarkable personality as artist to have a fragrance. She has some valuable behaviours. She is a type of Sarah Jessica Parker in being involved in the creation of her lines. Commitment is all!

What I really like Queen Latifah is that she is totally out of the fashion and beauty pattern of this industry full of prejudice. She is a black woman, she does not have body measures of a top model and she is incredibly funny, pleasant and spontaneous. As said by memechose she has a self-esteem and I also think she does not care for critics and the ignorance of this celebrity world where everyone has to be perfect.

She and Oprah are amazing as representatives of valuing women, mainly the black ones.

I wish to know her fragrance and really wishes her a great success.

Best regards,

Cris

Hmmmm, a Parlux fragrance? I'm a bit wary of this fragrance. I can't say I'm much impressed with the fragrances that have come out of Parlux.
