Grammy-award-winning singer/songwriter Mary J. Blige is doing a little advance publicity for her new My Life fragrance, which was named after her celebrated 1994 album and will be sold exclusively on HSN, beginning July 31st.  The Total Beauty website writes that the fragrance will contain fruity floral notes including gardenia, pear, freesia, a blended floral heart with tuberose, jasmine, lily and a woodsy, candied drydown with a base of incense.  But Blige is advance-pitching it in a more transcendent, aspirational way.  She says, “The title, the album, and my entire movement in my career has everything to do with why this perfume is called ‘My Life.’ My entire movement has been about women rising up from the ashes like phoenixes and giving their life, giving themselves a shot and not beating themselves up.”  [Emphasis added.]  TotalBeauty.com Jun. 22, 2010
