Bollywood star and Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty have a perfume in her name. Shetty launched her new fragrance named ‘S2′ at the Courthouse Kempinski Hotel in London on Tuesday, which is said to reflect her Indian Heritage. Shilpa considers her new scent to be a ‘cut above the rest’ in the never-ending sea of celebrity fragrances.

She said,

The perfume is truly unique because of the whole edge we have with the ethnic aroma to it, we have an amalgam of jasmine and citrus and it’s a very strong aroma.

The perfume is aimed for the international market, she said,

Jasmine is very common in India but difficult to find abroad.

Shilpa also enters the list of celebrities who have their own fragrances. Some of them include Kylie Minogue, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton.

After launching the scent, the actress is also planning to launch her own clothing and jewelry line. Not only this, she is also currently planning to open a restaurant in the UK. Shilpa said,

It has already become my second home whether I like it or not because the reception I receive from people here has always been so overwhelming, so warm, that only makes me come back more and more for more.

Kinnaird will also introduce the American Web site and the store simultaneously, and has plans to open four more stores in the New York metropolitan area within the year, and then to roll out nationally.

Kate Moss is all set to follow the footsteps of fellow supermodels Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford, as she will launch an exclusive fragrance range. This can be foreseen a step ahead in which she plans to move beyond her old profession of modeling.

The 33-year-old model is hoped to release her fragrance ‘Kate by Kate Moss’ in Marrakesh with the Babyshambles frontman by her side. The perfume is a collaboration between Moss and the French renowned perfume company, Coty Inc and helped Kate learn a lot about smell of various scents. She describes the new scent as she said:

When I put it on I want to feel fresh and light and as the day goes on I want to feel sexier.

From many years Kate had dreamt of associating herself with a perfume as she added:

I’ve thought of doing for a long time, but it just never felt right. It felt natural to take the next step.

She is trying to overcome her past relationship with Pete Doherty, who breached her trust when he fell for a brunette named Lindy.

Kate’s debut fragrance with Coty will be launched in Europe and Asia in September whereas its U.S. launch has been scheduled for next year.
