She’s designed t-shirts and watches so it only makes sense that Mary J Blige has moved on to coming out with her own fragrance.
The songstress’ named her new fragrance My Life after her 1994 album, which Blige says was a major turning point in her life. She explains:
“I was crying out for help, because I was going through so much. And four million women said, ├óΓé¼╦£Mary, we├óΓé¼Γäóre going through it, too, but you├óΓé¼Γäóre helping us by calling on us.├óΓé¼Γäó From that day on, I began speaking truths about my life, and about their lives, and everything around us. So it├óΓé¼Γäós a special tribute to us as women. My fans and I are smart now. We know we├óΓé¼Γäóre smart now, but we didn├óΓé¼Γäót know it then. We know we├óΓé¼Γäóre beautiful now, we didn├óΓé¼Γäót know it then. We├óΓé¼Γäóre educated now, we didn├óΓé¼Γäót know it then. We├óΓé¼Γäóre soft, we├óΓé¼Γäóre edgy ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ we├óΓé¼Γäóre all those things. And I wanted this perfume to represent every female├óΓé¼Γäós everyday life.”
The gardenia petals, Bartlett pear and white freesia scent that Mary created in partnership with beauty brand Carol’s Daughter will begin selling My Life on July 31st exclusively on HSN for $46. As a bonus all purchases come with a gold clutch.
Cute!
Also, for every bottle of My Life purchased, $1 will benefit the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now or FFAWN, which Blige founded.
What a great idea!
We hope the fragrance does well!
