Oprah: 'Jay-Z smelled so good'

Oprah Winfrey has revealed that she likes the way that rapper Jay-Z smells.

The popular US chatshow host made the admission on her friend Gayle King's Sirius Satellite Radio programme, after she had interviewed the performer for an article in her O magazine, People reports.

She said: "Jay-Z is my new best friend. He was so charming and delightful - and he smelled so good.

"It's the kind of thing where you hug a guy and the scent is sort of buried in them. When we went to the second location, I could still smell him on me it was like, 'Oh my, this is wonderful!'"

Jay-Z is to launch the fragrance X Rocawear next month in conjunction with his clothing label's tenth anniversary.
