Teen idol smackdown: Justin Bieber Girlfriend vs. Selena Gomez Eau de Parfum, and a quick poll

Every year, I smell a smaller percentage of the new celebrity fragrances — really, every year I smell a smaller percentage of all new fragrances; who can keep up? But I’ve fallen particularly far behind on the celebrity front. So today, a competition between two 2012 fragrances geared even younger than the already young average for the celebrity market: Justin Bieber’s sophomore effort, Girlfriend, and the debut fragrance from his real-life girlfriend, Selena Gomez.1

Freshly applied: Girlfriend starts off with sweet berry-ish fruit, loud enough but not as loud as it could be, with a fair sized dollop of vanilla already in evidence. While it isn’t overwhelming and it’s far from the worst-of-the-worst in terms of fruit ‘n candy bombs, it’s fuller (and a bit darker) than I would have expected for something geared this young. Perhaps this is why Bieber has described Girlfriend as “more mature” than Someday? Is his fan base growing up, or is he going after the moms?

It’s going to be something that I like

Posted by Robin on 30 September 2011 12 Comments

My fans can go to selenagomezperfumes.com and see all the ingredients — the top ingredient, the middle ingredient, and a base,” she said. “I want the base to be rich — I like vanilla and maybe some chocolate. For the middle, I’ve smelled raw grapefruit and peach, and the top note’s definitely going to be fruity. I’m going to put up all the [notes] I like and let my fans pick which ones they want to put together. So, it’s going to be something that I like, regardless.

— Selena Gomez plans to let her fans design her new perfume. Quote via Women's Wear Daily.
