KNOWLES NEWS: Beyonce Smells Like $3 Millie+Solange Backs Out Of SXSW

Mar 19 | by Natasha

Looks like all that Heat promo paid off. People's StyleWatch reports that Beyonce's brand new fragrance Heat has made $3 million in just 1 month since hitting the shelves. 72,000 bottles of the smell good were sold in one hour. Now, B's first fragrance of her own has been named the #1 brand at Macy's--where it is exclusively sold. Smell that Martha Stewart. News on Solange when you read the rest....

Solange is putting mommy duty first. She was scheduled to appear at the big SXSW (South By Southwest) Music festival that kicked off this past Wednesday in Austin, TX. But she cancelled her performance--much to the dismay of her fans. She took to her Twitter to explain why:

A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do.

@CherryV I agree with you.

@CherryV I agree with you. The perfume sell just because Beyonce's name is on it. I even went to buy it myself but the smell was to floral and like older lady perfume. The women in the Macys said they were dissappointed with the smell too. I am tell the truth, no hate here. Her fans will buy it rather if they like it or not. And also the lady in the store said they had several returns they dont count those in the tally. Anyway, she will always make money with her name even if she makes a tampon.

Check out the real

Check out the real report. How do sales of Beyoncé's fragrance match up to those of other celebrity essences? Well, Home Shopping Network was sold out of Diddy's I Am King within 16 minutes last year, and his Unforgivable line netted $48.5 million as well (the title is short for "Life without passion is unforgivable," obviously). Even at $48 mil, however, Diddy isn't ruler of the prestigous fragrance kingdom. That crown goes to Elizabeth Taylor, whose White Diamonds line made $67.2 million last year -- a staggering total that Beyoncé isn't even close to challenging.

THIS PHOTO OF SOLO AND LIL DANIEL IS ACTUALLY OLD. GLAD SHE IS DOING WHAT'S BENEFICIAL TO HER SON FIRST, THAT IS WHAT WE MOTHERS DO. I KNOW OF ALOT OF BEYONCE'S FANS WHOM HAVE SAID THEY LOVE THE SMELL OF HEAT, BUT DESPISED TRUE STAR AND THE OTHER TOMMY FRAGRANCE. SOME OF YOU KILL ME WITH THIS SHE DIDN'T GET THIS, SHE HAD TO SPLIT THIS AND SO ON......IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED BY NOW, BEYONCE AND HER TEAM HAVE A GREAT BUSINESS SENSE TO GET THE MOST FOR BEYONCE. THIS IS HER PERFUME, SHE COUPLED UP WITH COTY, WHY CAN'T SHE JUST BE.

Congratulations to Beyonce.

Congratulations to Beyonce. She deserves everything that is coming her way. She works hard and it pays off. I respect Solange for choosing her "mommy" duties over work. Both sisters are doing well in my book. Also, I don't understand the people who hate Beyonce so much. The woman is doing what she loves, which is entertaining and being a business woman. How is that hurting anyone? She is in demand--good for her. If you don't like the fragrance, then don't buy it. Obviously it smells good to others. I wish her and Solange much success in whatever they choose to do in the future. They are both very talented individuals.

If people buy products just

If people buy products just because a celebrity's name is on something and can't pay their rent or bills, that's not the celebrity's fault. If you don't have your priorities straight--that's on you. I don't think a majority of the public is that weak-minded.

I have lots of respect for

I have lots of respect for Solange for having her mommy priorities straight. My mother was someone who'd put very unimportant sh*t before me at times, and I grew up to resent her for it. Solo knows what's more important, and that her fans & followers will wait for new material & performances until time allows. Good girl! Hopefully this shuts up some of the people who are forever yelling at Solo to stop living her life 'and go be a mother! Where id her baby?!". She's always with him, and obviously puts him first. :) Congrats to B for having a #1 fragrance. I have yet to smell it (haven't been in a Macy's in a minute) but compared to that god-awful True Star that Tommy Hilfiger had her repping years back, everyone I know of that has smelled it says Heat is very nice & not overpowering at all. Good for B. Keep setting those bars higher, sista!
