FRAGRANCE
• John Mayer on why he would never create a fragrance like other celebrities: “I’m not diversifying in terms of selling anything. I’m not selling ‘John Mayer: the cologne’.

Imagine if I could get 60 more dollars out of them!’ Who out there really goes, ‘You know what, I just fucking love perfumes. I always have since I was a kid. If I weren’t a pop singer, I’d be a perfumer?” [Contact Music]
