About This Perfume
Queen by Queen Latifah by Queen Latifah is a Oriental fragrance for women. Queen by Queen Latifah was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Steve DeMercado. Top notes are Mandarin Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are Cognac, Coriander, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Incense, Sandalwood and Musk. The first fragrance from Queen Latifah, the charismatic and curvaceous award-winning rapper, actress and singer is presented to the market in Fall 2009, in the US, with an international roll-out shortly thereafter. According to Queen Latifah, “Beauty really does start on the inside. It's like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. So I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: scent expresses a woman’s confidence and sensuality, it’s how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength.” “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.
