Ellen DeGeneres: Mariah Carey smells like s'mores
The "scentsational" Mariah Carey stopped by Ellen Wednesday to talk turkey - and perfume. "You smell a little like s'mores," Ellen DeGeneres said, welcoming the divine diva to her show Wednesday.
"I'm not really a fragrance girl. I don't really like scents," Carey contended as she spritzed her host from head to toe with her new perfume, M by Mariah Carey. "But, the company was like, 'We want this to be a representation of you.' "
The songstress worked closely with perfumers to arrive at both her signature scent as well as the pretty purple bottle which is topped by - you guessed it - a butterfly. "The marshmallow element you smelled before is the top note and was a subliminal thing - just to give you little campfire memories," she explained of her first-ever fragrance.
"My signature scent of course, is gin and Marlboros," countered a deadpan DeGeneres. "When you come home with it on, they're like, 'You've been out. No, I have Ellen's perfume on!' "
Though she'll smell yummy, Carey's hectic schedule will keep her from having a true Thanksgiving this year. "I'm working," she told DeGeneres. "Though I really want to learn how to cook a turkey. It can't be that big of a deal, it just seems like one, to me." (People)
