Smell Like Avril Lavigne

The wait is over, young Hot Topic worshippers--canadian bird-flipper and pop star Avril Lavigne is just about to launch her very own fragrance, Black Star.

The web site dedicated entirely to Avril's debut scent describes it as "a fruity floral fragrance that combines the delicate scents of the pink hibiscus flower with addictively delicious black plum and dark chocolate!"

But it's not just a perfume:

You know how so many of you make the comment that the US gets everything first? Well, you're in luck, because this bottle o' pink and black 'tude hits the US... well, last.

On July 1, it will be in stores in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. August 1, it'll be in stores in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. Black Star will launch in United Kingdom and Romania in September. And what about United States? Black Star will be available in the US in Fall 2009.

Vague. I can't even order a sample. Psh.

Anyway, if you long for your days of studded belts, fingerless gloves and fruitless attempts at skateboarding, what all this advertising tells me is that this CAN TAKE YOU THERE.

I think the packaging and presentation is a bit wacky tacky, but I doubt I'm the demographic they're going for, anyway. I'm not gonna pass judgement on the scent until I have a sample in my possession. I'm really picky about scents, so we'll see.

Oh, and lastly, Black Star? Do you think Mos Def and Talib Kweli are peeved?

	autumnann: 06/24/2009 10:49 AM um cool? i guess she had to do something to get her back into the public's eye.. not very original..
	Oh my gosh, it's Merle!: 06/24/2009 11:01 AM compare the photos next to eachother in the 2nd row, exactly this makes me always doubt her authenticity she makes it so hard to take her person seriously, although her music always found a place in my itunes
	Oh my gosh, it's Merle!: 06/24/2009 11:02 AM but hey, in the end i like her. haha, in germany its on 1st July :D i might go to a perfumery and check it out

	malinamelone: 06/24/2009 11:42 AM She should make a new Album, that's better than "The best damn thing" and not selling perfume. oô I think her 3rd cd was the worst ver. -.- She should do something like Under m y skin, again.
	AVADA KEDAVRA: 06/24/2009 12:12 PM WOW I WANT TO SMELL LIKE AVRIL LAVIGNE.
	nocoherentthought: 06/24/2009 1:08 PM Is this perfume going to end up like the last major perfume to hit Hot Topic (Twilight) and sued for copyright infringment or something along the lines of that? Since "The Best Damn Thing" Avril Lavigne hasn't been nearly as good musically or as famous. She went from skater punk to pop punk b*tch. (nothing on her personality, just her image)

	xmoralxhazzardx: 06/24/2009 3:03 PM This makes me wonder what Avril smells like. Guess I have to wait until Fall to find out.
	abbyybba: 06/24/2009 3:10 PM this is sowhat making me happy. Avril got me started on... well music. She was my idol in 4th grade. Now I can smell like her. cool haha :)
	SaraSuicide: 06/24/2009 4:11 PM Haha Avril's making perfume. But I think I'd rather come out with a cd than black star. You're right the thing sounds tacky, but i'll probably end up buying it in the fall. I think that somebody from germany or and one of the other countries should steal like 10 shipping boxes filled with black star and sell us them perfume! Lol :))
	AllyLexis!: 06/24/2009 5:16 PM avrils selling out 2 mainstream! >=P & the name black star is a little stupid but I still love avril
	thebutcher: 06/24/2009 9:03 PM I kind of think it'll mostly smell like desperation. =/
	nocoherentthought: 06/24/2009 9:12 PM Has anyone else noticed that she looks like someone sucks out her soul?
