Joe Jackson’s tribute perfume gets new launch date

LOS ANGELES -- Michael Jackson’s father Joe said on Thursday he will begin selling the much-delayed fragrance that honors his pop star son later this month -- without using the name Michael.
Joe Jackson, who was left out of the “Thriller” singer’s will on his 2009 death, first promoted the “Jackson’s Tribute” and “Jackson’s Legend” fragrance line at the Cannes film festival in May.

But the launch was scrapped when the company that owns the commercial rights to sell products under Michael Jackson’s name filed a lawsuit seeking to ban sales and asking for damages.

Joe Jackson and his partner, Julian Rouas Paris, said on Thursday they will launch the line in Las Vegas on Jan. 21. Called The JRP/Jackson Perfume Collection, it will be sold from a booth in the gambling city’s Fashion Show Mall.

“We don’t use Michael’s name. We don’t use his image,” Rouas told Reuters.

Rouas said the family “want to stay private” by selling the line through small outlets in US shopping malls rather than through established stores.

The description of the fragrances given back at the Cannes film festival said the they were “inspired by Michael’s story.” Thursday’s statement from the fragrance makers said the scents, which will sell starting at $59, “honor the greatest superstar that has graced the world.”

Jackson, 50, died on June 25, 2009 in Los Angeles from an overdose of sedatives and the powerful anesthetic Propofol. His personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray is serving a four-year jail sentence for involuntary manslaughter in the singer’s death. -- Reuters

Joe selling perfume at the MALL




am I the only one who thinks that is weird?

It's like Berry Gordon would start to sell flowers in the mall

btw, ppl say that the stand is all covered with Michael's pics. And Esatet is suing Julian Rouas Paris kiosk, which is hocking "Jackson Perfumes." A famous sketch of Michael Jackson looms large amidst the perfumes.

hereš proof that he in fact is using Michael's image

[Sharon007]

Oh he wont get away with using that Image

[magic]

I think he will. Estate is warning Jacksons but they don't really sue them. Probably cause they are Michael's family.

[soap]

Nice. Lol. I would buy from him.

[Sharon007]

Would any of you you buy this perfume?

It depends how much is it. If it would be cheap then probably cause of Jackson name in it. But if not then no, cause it doesn't come from or is not about Michael.

You, Sharon?

I would be perfume that Michael used to use

[Sharon007]

Jermaine mentioned in his book about a perfume Michael wore to the trial. He would spray it in the car with Jermaine and Katherine in it. Then Katherine would say to Michael will you ever stop spraying that stuff

I like when men likes to smell good lol

[Sharon007]

The perfume Michael wore during the 2005 trial was Dolce & Gabbana cologne with a red top. But I don't know the name of it
