Back in January, rumors began swirling about Lady Gaga’s upcoming foray into the perfume business, and now the singer has released details about her new fragrance after they began to leak online.
According to a press release from fragrance giant Coty, the perfume, called “Fame,” will launch in September 2012 and will be released by “the Artist’s own Haus Laboratories in association with Coty.”
A photo Gaga tweeted of the perfume box explains that “Fame” will boast a “black fluid” that sprays on clear, and a scent profile that includes “Tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot and the combinative essences of saffron and honey drops.”
According to Coty, the fragrance is unique and unlike those currently on the market:
“Traditionally, perfumes have a pyramidal structure — a hierarchy of sorts with top, middle and base notes. This fragrance, on the other hand, has a unique structure called the “push-pull technology,” where the ingredients interact together to highlight different olfactive aspects of each note at the same time, without any hierarchy. All of the notes were crafted to work together harmoniously thanks to the complimentary properties of each ingredient, which allow for a true metamorphosis of the scent when worn on skin.”
Gaga also released an official advertisement for the perfume on her social website, LittleMonsters.com, that gives a hint at the perfume’s promotional materials.
More information on the fragrance is available at the Haus Laboratories website and Coty.com.

It does sound very interesting, but I suppose we will have to wait till September to see what it will be like.
Megan
I can’t see this selling well, but I think a niche group of women (and probably men) will certainly enjoy it. Oh GaGa, always everything but traditional.
Marilyn
Another celebrity perfume? I hope it doesn’t smell :/
Alyssa Nicole
Cannot wait to see how it smells!
Natalie
Is it just me or does the bottle look a LOT like Thierry Mugler’s ‘Alien’ perfume?
Val
Wasnt this the one that Lady Gaga said was supposed to smell like “blood and semen”? What happened to that one?
Joan
is it just me, or are other people wondering how a black fluid can spray on clear? I’m more than a little leery about this product.

I’m quite willing to give it a chance. I think it will be a huge change in the market. Hopefully it isn’t as expensive as the other celebrity perfumes. On another note, it does kind of look like Thierry Mugler’s “Alien”, but it’s not such a similarity that would cause an uprising like Jessica Simpson’s synonomous shoe design with a likeness of a certain pair of Loubotins…

Coty tests on animals. Do not want. I’ll stick with Rihanna’s fragrance.

Megan – Totally agree; if you’re a hardcore Gaga fan, this is perfect, but I’m not sure it’ll cross over to non-fans the way Britney’s Curious did, for example. Will have to wait and see how it smells, though!
Natalie – Good eye! I see the resemblance, especially in the cap. (For those wondering what she’s talking about: http://www.sephora.com/alien-P196516.)
Val – Yes, same one! Hopefully she was kidding with that first statement… http://gawker.com/5918237/lady-gagas-perfume-smells-like-a-dramatic-17+year+old-not-blood-and-semen
Joan – I’m curious, too! Will be interesting to see if it really works the way they say.
Adina – Thanks for the info; I didn’t know that! Bummer…
Katie
The bottle looks interesting but I’m not sure how this will smell.
