Music icon Chaka Khan will debut her first fragrance, Chaka by Chaka Khan, exclusively through HSN worldwide on Tuesday, Nov. 14.
To celebrate her 50 years in music, the fragrance is bottled as a gold microphone with her iconic signature and red lipstick print.
It is said to be a one-of-a-kind blend of sensual violet and ylang ylang, infused with bergamot and pink.
Press materials also describe Chaka by Chaka Khan as having “a hint of musk blossom, woodsy patchouli, vanilla, warm cinnamon and sandalwood for earthy layers.” Prices range from $35 to $90.
“This fragrance is more than just a scent – it’s a journey of music, passion and soul. Every note is lovingly made, inspired by the songs and memories we’ve shared,” says Khan.
She adds, “As you wear it, it’s my wish to uplift your spirit, empowering you to shine, whether you’re sharing a quiet time or out on the town. We’re all rockstars. Here’s to celebrating the power within each of us. With all my love, Chaka.”
