The giveaway is now closed, and I’m contacting the winner by e-mail. Good luck!
Many moons ago (well, like 2007), I had a fateful run-in with — don’t laugh — Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy perfume.
Previous to that bedazzling moment o’ blackberry bliss, I was a total scent snob who never paid no mind to celebrity perfumes. I preferred to get my stars between the pages of US Weekly instead of spritzed on my wrists.
Since then, however, my tastes have changed. Now, I like a bunch of different celebrity perfumes! And to celebrate my broadened horizons, I’m giving away a different celebrity scent each day for the next 10 days. 🙂
Today’s is a shout-out to my sk8r girls — Avril Lavigne’s new scent, Black Star!
The prize
One lucky lady will take home Avril Lavigne’s new Black Star Eau de Parfum Spray (a $40 value).
A fruity floral with notes of plum, dark chocolate and pink hibiscus, Black Star comes with a removable studded band inspired by Avril’s favorite studded cuff (street fight motif).

I just sniffed this at Kohl’s — and it was a toss-up between buying it or Queen by Queen Latifah which I had checked out at Macy’s. Queen won, but it was this close! But I doused a sample card with Black Star and put it in my beverage holder in the car so every morning the heat from my coffee cup releases the scent and makes my drive to work a lovely experience.
