Scents of Gaga

The inevitable has finally come to pass: Lady Gaga will be releasing her own perfume sometime in the spring of 2012. That gives us a year and a half to anticipate, exfoliate and prepare to smell like Gaga, or however Gaga wants us to smell, but until then some facts (and total suppositions) about the new scent from the Lady herself.

1. Lady Gaga's Perfume Is A Legit Endeavor
This isn't going to be some weak-sauce Obsession knockoff, or the work of a few Gaga entourage members mixing together citrus and whatever else they have in their apartments. Gaga signed a deal with Coty Inc, the fragrance company behind Calvin Klein, Vera Wang, JIll Sander and... J. Lo. That's some nice smelling company, right?

2. Gaga's perfume hopefully won't smell like meat.
Not cured salami or prosciutto or Spanish ham or Black Forest ham or just plain ham. Despite her predilection for meat fashion, we think even Gaga knows nobody wants to smell like a deli.

3. Lady Gaga's Perfume Will Likely Have A New York Feeling To It
The Big Apple is where Gaga's from and from where she draws a lot of inspiration. So it stands to reason that Gaga's perfume would have a New York element to it. Let's just say that element isn't the Lower East Side, in August, before the trash gets picked up.

4. What Lady Gaga's Perfume Might Smell Like
Bottled blood, au jus, sweaty fishnets, freshly dry-cleaned Alexander McQueen garments, Yankee Stadium, Justin Bieber's shampoo mixed with essence of kiwi. Just hazarding some guesses here.

5. What Lady Gaga's Perfume Might Be Called
"Born This Way," "Don't Ask, Don't Smell," "Paparazzi."
