Want to Smell Like An Unpronounceable Symbol?
Starting this summer, you all could smell a lot more purple. Prince, the artist formerly known as an unpronounceable symbol formerly known as Prince, will release his own brand of perfume this July (the oh-so-clever date of 07-07-07, to be exact, so get in line now!) Called 3121 after his latest album, the perfume has been described thusly:
3121 is a white floral scent that opens with a refreshing sparkle of crisp bergamot, opulent jasmine and gardenia. Orange flower and muguet sensually intertwine with tuberose and ylang ylang, creating a subtle, mysterious blend; evolving into notes of patchouli and creamy sandalwood. Precious cedarwood and luxurious musks complement this sexy scent with an almost surreal draw that tugs at all senses for total captivation.
That smells like purple to me! A 30 ml bottle of the scent will cost, unsurprisingly, $31.21. Prince is also showing his charitable side (and his inexplicable love for the number “7″) with the sale of this perfume. A 24-hour charity event will take place on the first day of sales, with 7 percent of each sale being divided between 7 charities. The goal is to raise $500,000. (Why not $700,000, Prince?)
In other Prince news, his Royal Purpleness has also announced that he will play 21 shows this autumn in London. (Ticket costs? 31.21 pounds.) He has indicated that he plans to change the show every night and also that he plans to give away copies of his album to concertgoers.
After completion of this 21-show run (hey, wait, that’s another multiple of seven), Prince plans to take time off to study the Bible. No news on if his perfume contains holy water.
