Britney Spears launches new perfume along with new album

Britney Spears holds her award for Best Pop Video for "Piece of Me" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles September 7, 2008.

Oct. 4 -- Britney Spears is set to launch a new perfume to coincide with the release of her new album.

The singer - who has previously lent her name to scents entitled Curious, Fantasy, In Control, Midnight Fantasy, Curious Heart and Believe - will release fragrance Hidden Fantasy on December 2, the same day as her sixth studio LP "Circus" hits the shops.

An insider at perfume company Elizabeth Arden, who have worked with Britney on her beauty ventures, revealed Hidden Fantasy will smell of cherry and vanilla, adding: "The bottle of Hidden Fantasy is the same as the previous two Fantasy perfumes - the only difference is the colour red on it."

Earlier this year, it was revealed Britney had made 13 million in the UK with her scents. Experts claim the singer's public breakdown and turbulent private life increased the popularity of the fragrances.

Other stars with their own perfumes include Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria and David Beckham.
