Akon Set to Launch Fragrance
Music artist Akon is another in the long list of celebrities jumping on the fragrance bandwagon. Akon will have not just one but two scents released in the fall
Akon has reported started a new company – Konvict Cosmetics – which created both of the fragrances. The two scents are geared toward two different demographics. Konvicted (which is also the name of his 2006 album) is a youthful scent targeting the younger population, while Aliaune (which is Akon’s real first name) is aimed at an older crowd.
Similar to the fragrances, in 2007, Akon launched a clothing line — Konvict Clothing, which features urban streetwear, as well as Aliaune — a more high-end fashion line.
Akon’s birth name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam.
Other music artists have been in the fragrance game for a while, including Usher, P.Diddy and Mariah Carey, among others. More recently, Nelly, Rihanna and Kanye West have announced upcoming fragrances as well.
