Just this past August marked the 14th anniversary of singer/actress Aaliyah‘s untimely passing and even now her legacy continues to live on. On Tuesday, her family announced that the late singer will have a tribute fragrance coming out in honor of her and has been coined ‘Aaliyah by Xyrena‘.
Her mother Diane Haughton and brother Rashad Haughton have collaborated with perfume company Xyrena to launch the fragrance.
“It has been wonderful working with Xyrena to create an incredible fragrance that embodies the beauty, mystery, and creativity that my sister infused into every aspect of her life,” explained Rashad in a press release.
“I grew up with Aaliyah’s music,” added Killian Wells, Xyrena’s CEO. “As a huge fan, this is a very personal release for me and my company. We set out to create a fragrance to be cherished by Aaliyah’s fans and also introduce her to a new generation.”
The unisex fragrance leans masculine, a nod to Aaliyah’s favored men’s scents that fall in line with her sexy tomboy image. The formula is a hue of black, Aaliyah’s favorite color. Aaliyah by Xyrena contains base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, amber, and jasmine; middle notes of black pepper, violet and leather; with top notes of mint, lavender, and mandarin.
