FIRST LOOK!: Rihanna's New Fragrance, Reb'l Fleur

Hey Glamazons! So, remember when I confessed my undying love for Katy Perry's new fragrance Purr and how Katy spilled the beans about Rihanna's upcoming signature scent?! (Yeah, they're total BFF's, so of course Katy couldn't talk about her new fragrance without mentioning RiRi's.)

While it may not exactly be pronounced like the english version that I previously reported "Rebel Flower," I predict that it's probably going to be a hit. (Only because most of what RiRi does is.) The real name of the fragrance "Reb'l Fleur" actually stems from the tattoo that RiRi has on her neck that reads "rebelle fleur."

Above is a picture of how the packaging will look. A couple of weeks ago, I was hanging out with one of my beauty editor friends from a major magazine who let me get a whiff of it, and (I'm being completely honest here!) I'm not a fan. Although I like the packaging (it's supposed to be reminiscent of a high heel; think more along the lines of the actual heel) I thought it smelled rather cheap. (My beauty editor friend also thought the same thing..that it smells cheap.)

Hmmm...I'm interested to see what kind of advertising RiRi will have for this scent. Also, I'm thinking that I should add it to my fragrance boudoir just for the packaging...because that's about all I like about this new scent thus far.

What do you think of it, Glamazons? Do you plan on purchasing it once it hits stores in a couple of months?

Katy Perry Launches Fragrance In New York Plus Reveals Name For BFF Rihanna's Upcoming Fragrance!

There was an explosion of purple Tuesday at Nordstrom's pop-up trailer here in NYC for the official U.S. launch of Katy Perry's new signature fragrance Purr. Clad in a long, fitted Zac Posen dress, the new bride looked very grown-up, wouldn't you say? And kudos to that lovely statement necklace that she's wearing as well. LOVE!

But, back to the fragrance: so, as we've told you before Glamazons, Katy wanted her fragrance to be "completely unlike anything she's smelled before."

My fave WWD quote in regards to this new kitty fragrance amazingness?:

"You can put all the bells and whistles on things and it can still smell like sh*t. I was very particular about this...I couldn't put out something that I didn't 100 percent believe in."

While I haven't quite yet managed to get my hands on it yet to tell you whether it really does smell like sh*t or not, I can say that the packaging is genius. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a purple glass kitty chilling on their boudoir?! I also think that the ads are hilarious! (Click here to check out one of the shots.)

In other fragrance news, the pop star spilled the beans to JustJared about plans for her BFF Rihanna's new fragrance. It's going to be called 'Rebel Flower.'

"I'm excited to see hers because she does things with a twist, too and we're always trying to push the envelope and raise the bar," she told JustJared Tuesday.

Oooo exciting, right Glamazons?! I mean, I agree that Rihanna is definitely pushing the bar with this red hair business (which I happen to think looks better shorter) so I can't wait to see what she's brewing up in the fragrance labs.

Purr by Katy Perry costs $36 for 1 0z and is now available at Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com. We hear that there should be a matching body lotion and shower gel launching soon as well, but no real confirmation as to when it will hit stores or pricing. (Just note that it's coming!)

What do you think of the bottle for Purr, Glamazons? AND do you plan on purchasing Rihanna's fragrance once it hits stands?!

GLAM OR SHAM: Katy Perry's Purr Fragrance Ad

In-between working on plans to launch her own clothing line and partying bachelorette style in Vegas, Katy Perry shot photos of herself dressed as a cat for her upcoming fragrance, Purr. And, can I just say, that I'd love to get my hands on this to wear as a Halloween costume?! (Because I clearly have no idea as to what I'm going to be). Coutura dressed up as a sexy kitty one year at her Halloween house party and looked super cute, don't you think?!

But, back to the fragrance: so we already told you that she was launching it but WWD reports that the bottle will fittingly be "cat-shaped and have jeweled eyes, metallic accents and lavendar shading." You'll start to see the first ads in fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazines starting in January 2011 but the actual fragrance will hit a Nordstrom near you in November.

What do you think of Katy's Purr fragrance ad? Is it GLAM or a SHAM?

Katy Perry Reveals News Of Her Fragrance, 'Purr'

Not to be outdone by the rest of celebrity America, Coutura's BFF Katy Perry (see them hanging out above) donned a purple wig and fitted mini with music notes Thursday and revealed her latest creation: a new scent called Purr.

And from the looks of it, she worked pretty hard to get it just right. Calling herself a "pain in the ass" when it came to working on the fragrance, Perry told WWD that about 90 percent of it was done.

"You can put all the bells and whistles on things, and it can still smell like sh*t," she said. "I was very particular about this....I couldn't put out something that I didn't 100 percent believe in. Even my cat Kitty Purry, like it."

Well said, Perry! WWD also reports that she jokingly told one reporter to "go to hell" when asked how her wedding plans were going. (She's engaged to equally-as-crazy Russell Brand.) Now, that's my type of gal.

As for why she decided to name it 'Purr', Perry had the below to say:

"I'm a very lyrical-based person, and the whole 'purr' thing kept coming back - [the sound is in] perfume perfect, even Perry if you say it a certain way."

Citing that she wanted her fragrance to be "completely unlike anything I'd smelled before," her new juice will include notes of peach nectar, apple and green bamboo, freesia, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid. All of this will accordingly be packaged in a cat-shaped bottle inspired by her very own Catwoman costume.

Today she's slated to be holed up in a studio somewhere shooting the ads in what we're guessing will involve a lot of colorful, latex costumes.

No info as to how much 'Purr' will cost, but it's set to launch in November at Nordstrom stores.

What do you think, Glamazons? Does this sound like a fragrance you'll be purchasing when it launches?
