Queen by Queen Latifah by Queen Latifah
For: women Designer: Queen Latifah Olfactive Group: Oriental“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.
The nose behind this fragrance is Steve Demercado.

It reminds me as well very much of Angel.
I will regift this fragrance :)


Queen is softer, I think it has less patchouli. I can smell incense and spices and a lot of sweet something (which is probably the cognac) It has good sillage, and a little goes a long way, and lasts a good while. It's also a good price.
Just remember, when testing this only use a tiny bit. That's the best way to appreciate it. I would definately recommend this to people who like oriental perfumes.

I love the cute Heart Shaped design
Etched into the Bottle very Classy
My favorite Perfumes.

It's ok, strong and sweet.



For me, this one screams and screams from the millisecond of its application until it's dying strains. It's just . . . the booze and incense and patchoulli and VANILLA stab at my eardums with pitchforks. Think angry baby noise, for hours and hours.
Well I've never been a fan of gourmand scents and my arch-nemisis is patchoulli, so it's easy to see why I can't appreciate this fragrance. I'm sure besides shrieky and head-achingly sweet other adjectives include vivacious, decadent, and spicy. But if you apply this one please please show some mercy to the peaceful souls sharing oxygen with you.

I'm so happy this perfume arrived where I live few month later, I fell in love with it as soon as I tested it on my skin. To me, it smells like a heavier version of flowerbomb (which I like a lot )
Some people say it is similar to Angel (!) I dunno, It didn't smell any close to Angel on my skin... It just smells delicious, the way I'd imagine Queen Latifah to smell like.
This is by far my favourite celebrity perfume.. Luv it :)


The first few minutes, Queens base seemed promising with a brief reminder of Angel behind a much sweeter berry note, quickly fading to something more reminiscent of Innocent which was even more fleeting. For a second I thought I may smell coconut but it was all behind a dark berry scent. It began to make me think of L by Lolita Lempicka with a mixed berry base rather than orange but there was something I couldn't put my finger on that was unpleasant. Finally I decided it reminded me of Vicks Cherry lozenges before they added so much menthol. Remember when you could eat them like candy? That was the overtone unless I held my wrist to my nose, that was the final scent when everything else faded. There was no Angel, there was no sweet ending. It makes me think of an older woman sitting in a room with a man in a smoking jacket surrounded by deer, elk, and other hunting prizes mounted on the wall. Very disappointing for something that held so much promise.
the dry-down was a bit more acceptable but still not so fine :S
Expected much more from the QUEEN :(


PS EEVRY YEAR QUEEN LATIFAH TOASTS HER BIRTHDAY WITH JAY LENO WITH A SHOT OF PATRON... SHE LOVES HER TEQUILA...



At this very moment I'm sniffing my wrist and the sweet smell of rose, and jasmine, cognac and a dash of coriander are invading my olfactory in a deliciously enticing way. Then there's the vanilla, incence and musk in the drydown that give this fragrance an invigoratingly warm feel. It reminds me of cotton candy, woven sugar in your mouth that melts on your tongue. Queen is both sensual and coquettish. Yes, its very sweet, but I'm a sugar loving gal and so is my sexy man. So, you can bet if he has a sweet tooth, I'll be dousing my skin with this bottle of juice. I'm in love with "Queen", by Queen Latifah. Perhaps, it's not original in its formulation, but it smells really good and its definitely an attention grabber. I'd recommend it to my friends and all who love sweet smelling fragrances.
Modern, Romantic, and Classic and ideal for special, autumn occasions.


That said, I can't get as excited about it as she did, because I'm not a huge fan of foodie fragrances. An old broad, I'd rather smell like a flower shop or a spice market than a bakery confection.
But I'd add this: I own some of a pricey oriental vanilla, Love by Killian, and I think Latifah's much less expensive perfume is much more interesting and wearable than Love.



The booze notes are subdued in the background, but lends its rich and lush foody texture to the whole composition. You can catch the woody incense in the background, but it's not meant to create a "headshop-nouveau" impression. Everything is basically a smooth concoction without any one note trying to assert itself.
As the scent progresses to the drydown, I'm reminded of a similarity to Fresh's Cannabis Santal, though just for a moment, sans the "cannabis" note and easygoing on the patchouli. As it progresses further, the musk notes take over, making it deep and sensual.
I like this scent a lot. Wish they went just a tad further and made the base notes a little more different and edge away from its deeper gourmand notes, like Halle's scent. Pretty nice job!

My sample was sprayed seven hours ago and is still going strong, so it has good persistence.
Sfsassy's description of "a mix of Angel and Britney" is spot-on. I couldn't have said it better myself, so I won't. That description tells you all you need to know about this scent. If you like gourmands, it's a nice one and worth a try. If you think Britney smells cheap, and/or Angel gives you the heebie-jeebies, Queen will not be for you.

The bottle is cute, not super heavy high quality or anything, but I do love the red color.
The scent is a mix of Angel and Britney. It's really nice overall. Nothing groundbreaking, but I but this sells very well.


The ONLY problem I have with this is the cheap bottle! It doesn't even feel like real glass and it's very light. Not heavy at all


Now, it's gone back to sweet but not a candyish sweet. It smells wonderful.
