Mariah Carey launches her own perfume

Mariah Carey has become the latest celebrity to launch her own perfume, after brand Elizabeth Arden approached her to come up with her own smell.

The singer's fragrance incorporates her three favourite smells of Moroccan incense, toasted marshmallows and a Tahitian flower.

Carey told Billboard about the product, saying: "This is the first fragrance that I wear. I'm not really a perfume person at all... Things that are too strong and overwhelming, that's what I was always not a fan of."

'M' is sold in a purple bottle with the star's butterfly icon printed on the top of it.

Carey follows in the footsteps of stars such as Kelly Brook, Paris Hilton, Kylie Minogue and Christina Aguilera, who have all released their own perfumes.
