MARILYN MANSON To Launch His Own Fragrance

October 11, 2005

What would a perfume dreamed up by MARILYN MANSON smell like? The world is about to find out. The shock-rocker told Women's Wear Daily at the John Galliano show Saturday (October 8) that he was planning to launch his own fragrance early next year. "I'm in the final stages with one of the major companies," said Manson, noting he was "inspired by the Dali-Schiaparelli collaborations." The flag bearer for manly makeup said he hoped his fragrance would be the precursor to a full cosmetics line. He added that he's working on a movie about author Lewis Carroll.

Regarding John Galliano's show for the British designer's summer ready-to-wear collection, Manson said, "I think he's very self-aggrandizing in a very great way. In a way that I like. . . He is someone who lives their art, especially when he puts his own image into his creations. Few people can get away with that. But he can, because he is so fantastic," said Manson, who attended the show with his fiancée Dita von Teese.

"It's not just about the clothes. It's about the whole spirit," Manson said.
