New York, Sep 22: Now that Beyonce is pregnant, there are certain smells that turn her stomach, but her new fragrance is not one of them.
"My nose, I smell everything from a mile away," Beyonce said in an interview Wednesday. "Usually it is food. It is onions or something that I just can't tolerate."
Just after returning from a trip to London where she showed her clothing line, House of Dereon, with her mother Tina Knowles, Beyonce was back in the United States to promote her third perfume, Pulse.
"I always meet strong, powerful women and they always have a signature scent. That is one of the first things I was so proud of. I thought about Diamonds and Elizabeth Taylor and all these icons so I am so proud of this," Beyonce said.
The songstress also says she was hands-on with the making of the scent and decided which notes should be included.
"This is very fresh. This is all about citrus, but it also has vanilla in the back. It is important for me for a fragrance not to just smell like one thing. I think women are interesting and I don't like for you to be like, ok, this smells like this."
While she may be busy running several empires, Beyonce has to take time out to prepare for her baby with husband Jay-Z. The singer says she has received great advice from her mother and sister, Solange, who has a young son.
Fashion is obviously a huge part of her life and she plans to stay fashionable during her pregnancy:
"I think I have been trying to find things that of course are flattering to the silhouette. I think a woman's curves when she is pregnant are so beautiful. I don't want to get matronly and I still find things that are sensual and feminine and funky. I have been mixing different textures and suit jackets and blazers. I don't want to be in the same dress everyday."Next up, the singer will meet with fans at a New York City Macy's to promote Pulse. AP
