Usher releases his own fragrance

R&B singer Usher has followed in the footsteps of many, many celebrities - he has released his own celebrity fragrance.

The fragrances are called Usher For Women and Usher For Men - the 'Yeah!' singer unveiled the new scents at a party in NYC  on Tuesday night.

The singer told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Fragrance is another way of interpreting emotion and that's what Usher For Men and Usher For Women are - it's sophisticated for a woman, and confident for a man.

"They represent strength and sexiness, and more than anything, they represent mystery and a journey. I wanted to offer a piece of myself, no different than a beautiful song I may create that takes many instruments, stories, and places I've gone to create those songs."

The fragrances were reportedly inspired by Usher's new, pregnant wife Tameka Foster  and already have the backing of Usher's friends - Beyonce, who also has her own range of perfume has said: "It's beautiful. It's very feminine and very sexy."
