Selling scent is a key job for celebrities. At any one time, there'll be hundreds of them at it, going on the world's talk shows, doing photo-shoots, providing employment for thousands. Celebrities are instant brands.
I'm really interested in smells. I think I'd like to own a perfumery someday.
I will be putting out a fragrance - I'm following in the great steps of Puff Daddy.
I travel a lot to promote the perfumes and to do the commercials.
I've always loved the beauty world. Ever since I was a child, I looked at magazines and wore fragrances and tried out samples and sets.
The idea that women don't smell fine on our own is a problem.
Perfume must not be linked just to fashion because that means that one day it will go out of style.
Perfume has a long and fascinating history and the beautifully crafted bottles used to store it over the centuries demonstrate its importance. Each has mirrored the latest tastes in fashion technology, design and art.
But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
My fragrance is rose and amber, and I was just very specific. A lot of what I've done, at the stages I've done it, I've been a little naive, which brought with it a kind of charm. I did Stella a while ago. It's now a bit of a classic.
I always wanted to have a fragrance, and I always wanted to be able to connect with people in ways other than through film.
