Name that Scent: Modern Day Divas
You know these ladies by their vocal stylings -- oh, and of course by their ‘Do you know who I am? Really, do you know who I am?!’ diva antics -- but do you know them by their scents, as in the ones graced with not only their namesake, but the aromatic notes that capture their very essence.
Go ahead, take a deep breathe and answer their question; do you know who they are, do you know the modern day diva behind these five scents?
Scent #1
Tart notes of mandarin and blackberry explode behind a fine veil of musk, only to be tempered with a kiss of vanilla. When this scent was introduced in 2012, the sharp-tongued diva -- in a pink tutu, a pink leather top, and Swarovski crystal ankle boots -- was ready to run any city of her choosing, now that her first fragrance had hit the air.
Nicki Minaj Pink Friday
Scent # 2
Subtle notes of marshmallow and blackberry play atop a bed of musk and sandalwood creating a sweet and sensual aroma. Introduced in 2010, the diva behind this scent, who had just released her sixth studio album, transformed into a modern Marilyn Monroe for the ad campaign, pouring her newly curvaceous self into a powder pink satin sweetheart cut dress with a black sash tied into a delicate bow.
Christina Aguilera Royal Desire
Scent # 3
Opps, she did it again! This perfume is for the woman who wants to make a lasting impression. This casual scent has a moderate, fruity bouquet that is perfect for everyone. It mixes a careful balance of linden blossom, amber and praline notes with patchouli, tangerine and honeysuckle. Believe us, this perfume will have heads turning!
Britney Spears Believe
Scent # 4
Behind a wall of exotic green bamboo, sticky sweet notes of peach and apple tease out floral bursts of gardenia. This teenage dream of a diva, playfully turned up the seductiveness when introducing this scent in 2010. Slipping on a purple and pink leopard print latex catsuit and black stilettos, she pawed across the floor in the ad campaign and got her hands all tied up with a gigantic pink yarn ball
Katy Perry Purr
Scent # 5
This opulent, floral perfume layers tropical notes of guava, mandarin orange and pear to create an intense fragrance that leaves a soft aura that lingers when you leave a room. Introduced in 2012, around the same time of the release of the diva’s seventh studio album, this scent’s ad campaign features her with long blonde wavy tresses, and --unapologetically -- in nothing more than a peach lace bra, and wrapped in a sheer peach cloth just as the perfume bottle appears to be.
