Kim Kardashian wanted her new perfume to be "mysterious."
The 31-year-old socialite is set to release her fourth scent, entitled True Reflection, as says she wanted something different from the others so picked richer flavors.
"I wanted a scent that's mysterious. I really like white florals, so I included those, along with chocolate and plum. It smells so unique. It's definitely the most different from my previous fragrances. My others are really heavy. I think this one's richer. It feels sultry," she said.
Kim - who is currently dating Kanye West - says she will be wearing her new perfume when she goes out at night and loves it when people compliment her on her smell: "This one's a bit more nighttime for me.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities,
Selena Gomez always tries to dress "age appropriate." The singer-actress is aware that she has a number of young fans and says she tries to wear clothes that they could also don.
"Obviously sometimes I'm going to dress for me. I wouldn't specifically want younger kids wearing a gown or a top that I wear. But most of the time I do wear things that are appropriate for everybody," she told People.
Along with having her own clothing, Selena, 19, is preparing to release her debut fragrance this year and she is hoping it is the first of many: "I'm so excited about my new fragrance which will be coming out soon. I think we're just going to name it after me for the first one because I think it would be simple to just do that for right now but I'm hoping this is the first in a line of perfumes, we'll see. It's going to be something different too because my fans are going to help me choose it so it'll be very fan involved. I've had some great suggestions from my fans already, they've been choosing some really good fragrances so it's very exciting."

Selena Gomez’s Fragrance Inspired by Olsen Twins
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Selena Gomez was inspired to create her own fragrance by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.The 19-year-old former Disney star had been yearning to come up with her own scent since falling in love with the Two of a Kind stars' body sprays as a child.
"I've always wanted to [create my own fragrance] since Mary-Kate and Ashley had their little body sprays - I loved those and was obsessed with them," she said.
And now her wish has come true with her perfume, named simply "Selena Gomez," hitting stores soon.
Explaining her decision to avoid the usual raft of whimsical names, the actress told US Weekly, "It's called my name, because I didn't want to get all philosophical with my first one. I wanted it to be representing me so it's really fun, very sophisticated and also fruity. The only way I can describe it is yummy!"
Selena tested the scent on her loyal fans, and even had them flown in from across the globe because their opinion is so valuable to her: "They're the ones wearing it, so I trust them - their opinions and everything that they've done for me."
Rihanna Planning Male Fragrance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Rihanna is working on a male fragrance - because she wants to wear it.
The 24-year-old star launched her debut perfume, Reb'l Fleur, last year before following it up with Rebelle, and has plans to expand the range further in the coming months.
"Definitely a fashion line, and I have two fragrances out plus I'm working on a male scent. But it will be unisex, because I love wearing men's fragrances. You know how you love to smell like your boyfriend all day?" she said when asked about what she's working on next.
The Battleship star also admitted to feeling insecure about her legs but has learned to embrace her flaws: "I'm insecure about my legs. Everyone wants to have slim, tones legs and I'm the same. I do weights but I don't want my legs to bulk up, so I do a lot of cardio too. I really don't think anyone is 100 per cent body confident. But you get comfortable with the fact that it's your body and it is what it is. You just want what someone else has, but that doesn't mean what you have isn't beautiful. Because other people always want what you have too. You have to just learn to accept your body."
