It looks as if Jay Z is moving forward with his Barneys New York Holiday Collection after all despite the company being accused of racial profiling.
According to THR, the hip-hop mogul will debut his first men’s fragrance, GOLD Jay Z on November 29 also known as Black Friday. Reportedly, Jay Z teamed up with Firmenich perfumer extraordinaire Ilias Ermenidis to create the new cologne.
“I was impressed with Jay Z’s style and confidence and was drawn to the ease with which he carries himself and all of his success,” Ermenidis said in a statement. “He has a natural cool that people want a piece of. In developing Gold Jay Z, I wanted to capture both the vibrant ambitious part of Jay Z’s charismatic persona and his effortless style that he naturally embodies through a fusion of notes chosen by Jay Z.”
GOLD Jay Z will be available in three sizes and is being described as a “layered blend of yellow ginger, white cardamom, grapefruit and blueberry fused with golden amber, patchouli, teak and bourbon vanilla to give it a final shot of gilded sensuality.”
What are your thoughts about the new fragrance? Will you support the new fragrance despite the controversy surrounding Barney?
