The Divine Miss M. is releasing her second fragrance with Elizabeth Arden this September, which will be just as girlie as you’d expect a Mariah Carey juice to be.  It’s called Luscious Pink and, according to People’s Off the Rack, includes Tahitian tiare flower, lily of the valley, pink peony and white musk.  Mariah describes the new perfume as “an ethereal…scent that reflects the delicately sensual, feminine and optimistic side of me that is so present today in my music, my fragrance and my life.”  It’s tempting to dismiss the concoction as something likely cloyingly sweet and…er…tacky.  But!  I believe we’d be wrong to underestimate Iron Mimi—M. by Mariah Carey was a smashing success, and Luscious Pink’s notes sound very feminine, sensual and, yes, luscious, indeed.  I’ve been bowled over by “Wait, I expected you to be crappy!” celebrity fragrances before (sigh…the softly sexy JLo Glow and surprisingly delicious Fantasy Britney Spears come to mind) and wouldn’t count Mariah out again…
