Prince is facing legal action from a perfume company after failing to fulfill contractual obligations.

Fragrance manufacturer Revelations is suing the singer after he didn't complete promotional duties for the scent 3121, named after his 2006 album .

The company reportedly signed a deal with Prince's label that would see them take 50% of the profit and stipulated that Prince would stage a campaign for the scent, according to Contactmusic.

Revelations states in the lawsuit: "Since July 2007, despite repeated attempts by Revelations, there have been virtually no communications from anyone who could commit to or coordinate any promotional efforts by Prince."

The singer's record label Universal refutes the accusations, saying they are "completely without merit".

Last week a court ordered Prince to pay a disgruntled video editor $58,000 in unpaid wages.
