Madonna close to signing scent deal
Written by . Published: September 15 2011
Madonna has a good nose for a new deal - the superstar is in talks to launch her first fragrance.
The Material Girl is conducting "serious discussions" with perfume giant Coty, according to WWD.com.
If a deal is struck, Madonna will follow in the footsteps of Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez and release a perfume through the company.
Lady Gaga also has a fragrance coming out under the Coty banner next year (12).
This won't be Madonna's first foray into cosmetics - her Material Girl line, aimed at the teen market, launched nail polish, lip gloss, body sprays and lotions last month (Aug11).
