Michael Jackson Perfume Coming in March

The King of Pop might be gone but dear ol’ dad is determined to keep his memory, and his royalty payments, alive. Of course, perfume won’t be the only thing keeping the gloved one on our minds as Michael Jackson The Experience gets ready to hit PS3 and XBox 360 in April.

PopCrunch tells us that Michael’s dad, Joe, has partnered with a French perfume company to roll out a collection of fragrances in March. Lined up so far are a his-and-hers set consisting of Jackson’s Tribute and Jackson’s Legend. Both are supposedly inspired by plants grown at Neverland Ranch.

Chief Executive of the Julian Rouas Paris Company, Frank Rouas, says, “With Joe Jackson, we are 50-50 partners in world sales, television rights and advertising receipts. We did it very, very quickly. Usually it takes a year.”

The way the story goes, Rouas had a stall at a Las Vegas trade fair when he learned the Jackson family was looking around when a couple of people stopped by his booth to borrow a pen for autographs. In addition to a pen, Rouas also gave two samples of his company’s perfume, Versailles, with instructions to give the perfume to Janet Jackson. The Jackson’s liked the products; Rouas proposed his idea, and the rest is commercialism history.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the perfumes will benefit some of Michael’s favorite charities.

    I think it’s so sad that Daddy Dearest had to find a way to cash in on his son. The jacka** couldn’t get his hands on Micheal’s money while he was living so I guess he feels that he can now that Micheal has passed.That man does not have one ounce of sincerity. I wish that they would leave the poor soul rest peacefully.
    Besides, if I want to get a perfume that represents Micheal, I will buy the one that he wore and not some half a**ed version.

    I’ve heard of ~cologne~ named for famous men like Pierre Cardin, Hugo, Armani, Dior, etc. but not ~perfume~? I imagine that there will be a lot of “happy” men also waiting for the release of the MJ brand eye liner and lip gloss combo kit then as well? I think they’re supposed to be calling it “Bad”, is that right?

      LOL that would definitely be ‘Bad’. haven’t heard anything about eye liner and lip gloss combo but I’m sure ol’ Joe will be hopping on that idea as soon as possible.
