Lady goes Gaga for Thierry Mugler...
Despite stating that when her own scent is created it will contain some of her blood and, well, some other body fluids, it seems that Lady Gaga’s current perfume choice isn’t quite as controversial. Last Friday on the Graham Norton show, Gaga announced that Womanity by Thierry Mugler was her signature scent, and presented fellow talk show guest, the gorgeous Gwyneth Paltrow, with a bottle.
Go Gaga for Womanity...
The Mugler scent – he’s behind the phenomenally popular Angel as well – is a salty/sweet sensation – much like Gaga herself, don’t you think? Its main top note is of really ripe fig pulp, has a middle of the leathery scent of caviar, and a backbone based on fig tree wood – according to the notes: ‘reminiscent of Mediterranean scrubland’, whatever that is. It’s actually a lovely perfume – it remains to be seen how Gaga’s own scent will match up.
Celebrity fragrances have been one of the biggest stories of the perfume industry in the last decade. It seems you must have one – certainly if you are a Z-lister, or a pop star. But Gaga better get moving if she wants to be a leader in that field. She’s got formidable competition in J-Lo who is at the top of the celebrity fragrance pile, having launched 15 – yes, that’s 15 – in total through Coty Inc, since her first release, Glow in 2003. She currently has six on the market.
*Womanity EDP by Thierry Mugler is available in three sizes, 30ml, 50ml, and 80ml, from £38 to £60
