Lady Gaga Fame ~ new perfume
Pop icon Lady Gaga will launch her debut perfume, Fame, in September.

The blood is sort of primal
In terms of the process of creating the perfume, I wanted to extract the feeling and the sense of blood and semen from molecular structures...That is in the perfume but it doesn't smell like it.

As perfumanity already knows, Etat Libre d'Orange beat her to the punch with Secretions Magnifiques, and anyway, Lady Gaga's license went to Coty. I think the most daring thing Coty has done with a celebrity so far was the chocolate and citronella in Sarah Jessica Parker Covet, which famously failed to resonate with consumers. I'm sticking with my original guess of strawberry sorbet and pink pepper.
