    The company says Perry's "unique approach to music and life" will drive her inspiration, and move toward "new avenues of scent creation."

    Other pop stars to concoct their own fragrances include Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift. Coty's perfume brands include Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Playboy.
