Shakira launches perfume

Shakira has launched her own signature perfume.

The Colombian superstar said, "The type of women who feel a connection with this fragrance would be independent and strong, but also a woman with a great capacity to love and a strong sense of who they are."

She continued, "It's for a woman who believes in herself. Like one of my songs, I wanted 'S by Shakira' to tell a story, and to be something personal and unique. A perfume has to really reflect something inside you, make you connect with it in an emotional way." 

'S by Shakira', which features notes of jasminie and sandalwood, is set to go on sale in September with prices starting from $17, approximately £10.
