Queen Latifah is joining the army of celeb perfumers with the release of a new scent by Parlux Fragrances. Queen by Queen Latifah — featuring hints of mandarin, jasmine, cognac, Moroccan coriander, and Egyptian — will debut this August, starting at $49 for a 1.7 oz. bottle, the rapper-singer-actress announced this week.

“Beauty really does start on the inside. It’s like a state of mind, a state of love, if you will. So I see a fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: Scent expresses a woman’s confidence and sensuality, it’s how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength,” the Oscar-nominated star said in a statement Monday.
