Mary J. Blige |
The queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J Blige has partnered with Carol’s Daughter for the creation of “My Life,” her new fragrance.
The inspiration for the fragrance came from her 1994 album, My Life, which represented a difficult period for her. It also symbolized the point at which she finally made the decision to take charge of her life.
“I wanted my fragrance to be something special for my female fans. I was crying out for help [during the time of the recording] because I was going through so much. And four million women said, ‘Mary, we’re going through it, too, but you’re helping us by calling on us.’ From that day on, I began speaking truths about my life, and about their lives, and everything around us. So it’s a special tribute to us as women,” says Blige.
To Blige this fragrance is more than just a perfume, it’s symbolic of the journey and transformation she has undergone, and for the everyday woman it represents hope, strength, and the pure essence of womanhood.
The 1.7 oz. bottle of “My Life” will be available for purchase, along with a complimentary clutch purse, at a retail price of $46, July 31, exclusively on the Home Shopping Network. -christian johnson [source WWD.com]
