Carey has launched her own perfume

Mariah Carey has launched her own fragrance, which brings together three of her favourite smells: Moroccan incense; a Tahitian flower and toasted marshmallows.

Speaking to Billboard about the perfume, M, Carey said: "This is the first fragrance that I wear. I'm not really a perfume person at all... Things that are too strong and overwhelming, that's what I was always not a fan of."

Carey was approached by Elizabeth Arden about a fragrance and agreed because the cosmetics giant wanted her to be involved in the creation of the scent.

'M', which is sold in a purple bottle with Carey's signature butterfly icon on top, is described by the singer as "light, sensual and memorable".

As for the marshmallow aspect of the fragrance, Carey said: "It's blended in there - it's not like you're gonna walk around smelling like marshmallows."
