Justin Wants Wants To Smell Like A Man

justintimberlake1.jpg

It seems like every week there's a new celebrity launching their very own fragrance.

This week, Justin Timberlake has teamed up with Givenchy to create the new scent, Play

This isn't your typical celebrity fragrance collaboration though. When first approached by Givenchy, Justin actually declined, explaining that he didn't wear much cologne. 

He admits, "I think, honestly they took it as a challenge to create something that I would really want to wear." From there, the fashion house taught him the ABCs of fragrance based on his likes and dislikes.

He added, "I'm sort of a minimalist, quintessential male.  I like pretty fresh, clean scents.  I don't like a barrage of smell, so I started talking about how do you achieve that fresh, clean scent?  And they 'learned me' about citrus and wood flavors that you kind of add in to create that type of aroma.  It's actually really fascinating how they do it."

Paying homage to nature was also important for Mr. JT. He claims,  "I sort of feel like nothing should take away from pheromones, because it's been chemically proven that those are the most attractive scents on people."

The result? 

Justin says they have come up with a cologne that is "youthful and fun," and "sensual."  The scent is available now at Macy's and Sephora.

Will U go buy it?

    14. 14

      He looks like he needs a good shower first !



    15. 15

      He didn't create shit. Givenchy has had this scent on the table for a while. Hell, I saw the packaging for it months ago - before Timberlake's name was even attached to it. The bottles look kind of like an mp3 player.



    16. 16

      "quintessential male"….. yeah if the quintesssential man was a scrawny, metro, femmy, falceto little bitch



    17. 17

      wtf is wants wants?



    18. 18

      His cologne Play is not memorable or worth buying. He does however have a noir version called Intense which smells warm and delightful for the winter. The bottles resemble iPods, one white and the other black. Black is slightly more expensive.



    19. 19

    23. 23

      Wasn't he the one who said that there was something disgustingly narcissistic about making your own cologne (in reference to P. Diddy). Not that I think that level of narcissism eludes him. I just think he's an idiotic hypocrite.



    24. 24

      “The greatest scents in the world are pheromones,” he confides. (Justin)
      Get a free sample of pheromones at www.pheromonefacts.com and see for yourself, JT.



    25. 25

      BLAH BLAH BLAH! Nobody gives a crap!!!

    27. 27

      Who's dumber, Timberlake "I'm sort of a …. quintessential male." Oh shut the fuck up… or Perez, who can't proofread his own bloody site?



    28. 28

      FALSE NEWS!!!



    34. 34

      yeah and you wish you were a man



    35. 35

      I'd like to sniff his balls.



    36. 36

      Why are you only posting this now Perez? I thought you were so on top of current events in the celeb world! Well just like the BOP said that shit is soo 2008. I saw it last summer in Paris. Perez you are losing your touch! WILL I AM RULES!



    37. 37

      For many reason i absolutely hate him. Grow a pair first Justin and then you can take care of the smell. Probably his mommy still washes him :P



    38. 38

      I'm going to at least try it. You know who's cologne sucks? Banderas. The first batch was good, but when I ran out and got more, the newer stuff was dull. I tend to use either Hugo Boss, or British Sterling, if I wear any. But, I'm open-minded. I'll at least try the Givenchy stuff before I say it's good or not.



    39. 39

      People, you're dissing a person, when the news is about a cologne. Grow a brain cell, and step up. Also, as has been mentioned, this news is *OLD*. I suspect Perez must google and find stuff to gripe about, not even paying attention to when it was first reported. Just like Oprah. She's always "discovering" things people already know about.



    40. 40

      Wow, when he uses words like "quintessential" and "barrage" he sounds so, like, totally smart. Ass clown.



    41. 41

      I'm so sick of this douchebag.



    42. 42

      lol he is so hot but he needs to grow up



    43. 43

      I bought it for my boyfriend. AMAZING!
