In the fall of 2009, Queen Latifah released her first fragrance, Queen by Eau De Parfum for women in partnership with Parlux Fragrances, Inc. The release of Queen by Queen Latifah made her the first female rapper to release her own fragrance line.

“Beauty really does start on the inside. It's like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. So I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: scent expresses a woman's confidence and sensuality, it's how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength.” – Queen Latifah

“Queen Latifah exudes a radiant confidence and inimitable style,” – Neil Katz, Chairman and CEO of Parlux Fragrances, Inc.
