Mariah Carey’s Bling scent

Mariah Carey’s latest fragrance name was inspired by her engagement. The ‘Hero’ singer recently launched her new scent, Lollipop Bling, and says the moniker came to her when thinking about how Nick Cannon proposed to her in 2008.

She said: “The inspiration for Lollipop Bling was Nick’s marriage proposal to me. He first surprised me with a ring-pop – romantic, fun and young-at-heart – like me!”

Lollipop Bling comes in three different smells – chocolate-and-raspberry- inspired Mine Again, Ribbon, which features blue raspberry, and tropical pineapple infusion Honey – and will all come in bright butterfly-topped bottles.

Last year, Mariah released her third fragrance, Forever, and said the smell was a “representative of her life”.

She added: “I am in a wonderful place right now, surrounded by all the things I love, and Forever captures this moment in time.

“Fragrance is so personal and Forever captures that glamorous feeling that I want to share with my fans.”

Bosses at Elizabeth Arden, who she worked with on the floral scent, revealed the combination of blossom, tuberose, gardenia, exotic woods and white musk perfectly echoed Mariah’s life.
