Beyonce doesn't feel complete until she's wearing perfume

Beyonce Knowles says she would never leave the house without wearing her favourite scent.

The singer-and-actress - who recently launched her second fragrance, doesn't feel complete until she's wearing perfume.

"I feel like fragrance is one of the most important accessories a woman can have - it's sexy, it says something, and it's that final touch, like putting on a gorgeous pair of stilettos," Contactmusic quoted Beyonce as telling Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine.

"One of the things I remember from being a little girl is how I loved watching my mother getting ready to go out and she'd spray on her perfume. It was this gorgeous blast that would linger in the room after she'd gone and it would remind me of her. I thought it was so sophisticated and glamorous, so feminine and sexy.

"To me, even if you are dressed to kill and everything is looking fabulous, you are still not done without that touch of fragrance. It's the cherry on top of the cake."
