Amy Winehouse To Launch Her Own Perfume Line
JUL 22, 2009 AT 08:17 AM
Hmmmnnn.... really?
The report today is that Amy Winehouse wants to start her own perfume line and... really?
Oh sorry. I just find this story to be insane.
The troubled singer – who has publicly battled addictions to drink and drugs – and her father Mitch are keen to develop her trademark “smoky” look and put her name to a woman’s fragrance.
A source said:
“Mitch is keen to licence Amy’s name to a perfume house. He has been in talks with manufacturers and contacted PR firms for advice. They want it to reflect her style with a classic smoky 1950s look and smell.
Amy is keen to expand her brand and wants to get on the celebrity perfumes bandwagon while she can. They know her fans love to copy her style. Her trademark fashion and beehive hair-do were last year’s must-have look.”
However, fragrance experts are unsure about working with the ‘Rehab’ singer - who is regularly photographed with a cigarette and alcoholic drink in hand - because they fear shoppers will be discouraged by her dishevelled appearance.
YA THINK? One perfume industry insider said:
“Frankly, she doesn’t look like she smells that nice, so doing some positive publicity to prove it doesn’t just smell of stale alcohol and cigarettes would be vital.”
Other pop stars who have launched their own signature scents include Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne and Jennifer Lopez.
Would you want to smell the scent that Amy came out with? I would be very, very curious!

LOL!
How cruel. Individuals with an addiction of any kind are sick. It's a disease. She's a lovely girl who made very bad choices and became ill as a result. Instead of ridiculing her, hope she completely turns her life around.

Wanna know what's cruel? Innocent people who die as a result of other people's "addictions", families who have to watch these "diseased" people destroy themselves and tax payer dollars being spent on court cases. THAT'S cruel!
True that!!
It'll smell like cigarettes, old socks, a wet mop and used crusty panties.

Hmmmmmm, let's call is REHAB and the smell will be similar to dirty, musky hair. Mmmmmmmm :)
Her appearance and life choices shouldn't effect her ability to come up with a decent scent. As for being concerned people would be turned off - there are tons of trashy people out there who live just like she does.

eau de crack, i was just thinking that same thing, and the bottle should look like a bee hive hair style and the applicator should look like a little crack pipe

She's looking healthy...
Whether her appearance and life choices effect her ability to come up with a decent scent or not, if she's selling it, I'm not buying. The End.

If it smelled nice, I'd buy it. It's not like she's actually making the perfume, it's only her name stamped on it.
Since just encountering photos of Amy Winehouse makes me feel like taking a bath, I at first thought, as most other commenters here did, "No way, who'd buy it?!?" (And no, that's not "being cruel to someone with an addiction/illness", or failing to note that "lots of other people live like she does"; the woman is in an above-and-beyond-skanky league all her own.) But think about it: the concept is just outrageous enough that her fans might go for it in a big way, as a new form of rebellion against the unimaginative, boring mainstream. It could be called "Dirty Panties" or "Bar Brawl", be stinky rather than fragrant, and be worn specifically to piss other people off.
Eau de Skank
Aaaaah, that intoxication aroma of Mad Dog 20/20 and Kool cigarettes.
Does that mean they will be selling Jack Daniels at the Macys make-up counter?
