Lady Gaga’s perfume first glimpse has been leaked by a Canadian fashion editor via Twitter.
Lisa Tant, the editor in chief of Canadian fashion magazine Flare, tweeted an image of the bottle, set to hit stores in August, along with its much-anticipated name and scent notes.
For over two years Lady Gaga, 26, has been publicly teasing her fans with small bites of information about the rumored perfume, which in 2010 was reported to smell like “blood and semen”, and now Lisa Tant has clarified details.
Originally thought to be called Monster, the editor revealed the fragrance will be called Fame, and, in Lady Gaga’s words, will actually “smell like an expensive hooker”.

Lisa Tant quoted Lady Gaga, allegedly at a press preview for the perfume, tweeting: “It was taken out of my own blood sample, so it’s a sense of having me on your skin.
“I wanted to extract sort of the feeling and sense of blood and semen from molecular structures, so that’s where [the rumors] came from.
“That is in the perfume, but it doesn’t smell like that. Actually, the perfume smells like an expensive hooker.”
The fragrance appears to be a black liquid that reportedly changes color when applied to skin.
Lisa Tant has since taken down the image and quote from her Twitter account, for unknown reasons.
Lady Gaga is also tipped to cover Vogue‘s famed September issue for 2012, to coincide with the perfumes official launch.
Her last cover for the magazine was in March 2011.
Particles from a recent solar storm will slam today into Earth and produce amazing Northern Lights, or auroras. On the downside, experts expect radio blackouts for a few days, caused by the radiation from the flare – or coronal mass ejection (CME) – causing magnetic storms.
The flare is part of a larger increase in activity in the Sun, which runs in 11-year cycles. It is expected to peak around 2013.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center wrote: “Category G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are expected 28 and 29 December due to multiple coronal mass ejection arrivals. R1 (Minor) radio blackouts are expected until 31 December.”
A coronal mass ejection (CME) contains billions of tons of gases bursting with X-rays and ultraviolet radiation that are flung into space at around 5 million mph.
They are mind-bogglingly hot – around 100,000,000 C.
The Earth is occasionally hosed by these ejections, leading to amazing shimmering light shows.
They are caused by the ionized solar particles becoming imprisoned by Earth’s magnetic field, exciting the gases in the atmosphere and emitting bursts of energy in the form of light.

However, these particles can also cause magnetic storms, which in extreme cases have been known to disrupt satellites and electricity grids.
In 1989, a CME was held responsible for leaving six million people in Quebec, Canada, without power.
Last month one of the largest storms our star can produce was detected.
Known as an X1.9 flare, it was one of the biggest seen in years.
The flare was so powerful that it disrupted communications systems on earth around 45 minutes later.
Another gigantic flare occurred in August, but because it took place on the side of the Sun not facing Earth, there was no disruption to communications or power.
