Exclusive Interview: Shakira Talks Beauty, Men & Guilty Pleasures

Ladies, I'm really excited because I had the pleasure to interview Colombian Songstress, Shakira!  She was kind enough to take some time out of her tour schedule to fill me in about her new fragrance, S by Shakira Eau Florale, which she says is, "a very simple fragrance with few accords and few notes, but which blended together manage to say a lot."  Check out the interview after the jump:

This is Shakira's second fragrance and is blended with floral notes of jasmine, bergamot and cassis layered over sweet fruits such as blackberry, raspberry and blueberry that finish with musk and vanilla.

Why did you decide to create a second fragrance? 

After working on S by Shakira with the perfumer, I became interested in the possibilities of expressing emotions though scents.  I wanted to find a way of expressing the feeling of pure happiness through the medium of fragrance, and we achieved that with this floral fusion.

What does the idea of beauty mean to you?

Beauty comes from self confidence, being positive, feeling energy and loving and caring for oneself.

What do you think is the sexiest scent on a man and why?

The smell of a man right after he comes out of the shower, clean!

Do you think you'll ever launch more beauty products or even a fashion line?

I’m excited to be a part of this fascinating world and the more I get involved, the more I see the possibilities are endless.  We don’t have any immediate plans to bring out beauty products, but anything is possible.

What's your guiltiest pleasure?

Cheesy, romantic comedies.
