MARY J. BLIGE WANTS YOU TO SMELL LIKE A HOOD RAT

Of course I say that with love. I've always wondered how you'd bottle a pissy hallway smell? All jokes aside, Mary J. Blige is getting ready to extend the title of her hit album “My Life” with the release of a fragrance. Teaming with Brooklyn-based Carol’s Daughter, Blige is developing her first fragrance, currently named “My Life”- an ode to the hit 1994 album and one of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of all time. “Ever since I was a child, I loved buying products that made me feel beautiful and clean,” Mary told WWD recently. “My Life” joins a growing list of fragrances attached to celebrities like Usher, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Blige’s “My Life” is slated to hit stores next year. Carol’s Daughter, launched in the early 90s, has been admired and endorsed by celebrities like Jada Pinkett Smith, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Brad Pitt and Chaka Khan. Known for its fragrances, essential oils and natural moisturizers, Carol’s Daughter became a household name in 2005 after being profiled on The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show and The View.
