Lady Gaga Gives Fans A Whiff Of Her ‘Slutty’ New Fragrance‘Fame’, Claims It Smells Like “Blood And Semen”
Lady Gaga's new Fragrance 'Fame' is the first ever Black Eau de Parfum," yes, the elixir is black but becomes translucent once it lands on your skin. With ingredients consisting of "tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot and saffron and honey drops," the fragrance is just as, err, unique as the avant-garde singer.
"I wanted it to be a very slutty perfume," mother monster told "Good Morning America this morning. " Because that is sort of the addictive nature of fame that it is, it is seductive."
The singer sounded quite pleased with how the fragrance turned out, revealing to GMA host Lara Spencer that she wanted a scent "that was desirable, and which is quite nice for not only just, you know, a young girl like me, but for any woman that wants to go home to their husband and lay down and feel like a queen."
Adding: "What I like about it for me is I love the smell of apricot ... And I love the belladonna smell because it has a dangerous sort of muskiness to it. It's a plant that can kill you but also smells quite delicious. And I also really love the honey drops. These are all just things that I really like to eat also. They're things that I would eat during sex as well as wear, if that makes any sense."
"The actual smell is something that I, Gaga, would wear to seduce someone," she said.
On an appearance on the Australian show "The Kyle and Jackie O Show" in 2011, Gaga explained she wanted the fragrance to smell "like an expensive hooker," and would be laced with notes of "blood and semen."
"But it doesn't smell like it," she quickly recovered. "You just get sort of the after feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is sort of primal. And the blood was taken from my own blood sample, so it's like a sense of having me on your skin."
Did she seriously say that?
The sartorial oddball revealed she decided to launch her very own fragrance because she was hopelessly dissatisfied by other celebrity fragrances on the market.
"I have always felt disappointed by celebrity fragrances because they seem to ride on the air of amateur or cheap, like the fans don't deserve the same as someone buying a fragrance at Chanel deserves," she said. "I wanted to create something that made my fans feel good enough to have anything."
In a statement that sounded nearly traditional, Gaga proclaimed her fragrance was inspired by her mother."My mother was always a sexy woman to me, very sexual, very sensual woman," she said. "And my father always thought she was sexy. And, you know, they weren't always private about, you know, hugging and kissing each other in front of us. And it was something that my sister and I really enjoyed to see."
While she loves the scent of 'Fame" on women she prefers that fresh bar smell on her men. "I personally quite like leather smells" on a man, she said. "And sort of, tobacco smells and alcohol-y smells. Things that smell like you've been in a bar being bad all night. I really like that."
