Diddy Poses Perfume Challenge to Gwen, Britney and J. Lo

Now that the war between Kanye West and 50 Cent has been settled, Sean "Diddy" Combs is proposing a challenge of his own -- over perfume.

Diddy is so confident about Unforgivable Woman, his first female fragrance, that he's asking Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwen Stefani to put their respective scents up against his. "My fragrance smells better than theirs," he told PopEater. "Women know how they want to smell, but as a man, I know how a woman should smell. I bring another element into it."

Diddy -- who name-checks Demi Moore, Megan Fox and old flame Lopez as some of Hollywood's best-smelling ladies -- is no newcomer to the fragrance game. Unforgiven, the male cologne he introduced last year, became the top-selling fragrance of 2006. And like its male counterpart, the ad campaign for the Unforgivable Woman is mired in controversy, thanks to a racy, three-minute "moviemercial" that censors deemed too hot for TV.

"We're selling sensuality, passion and provocativeness," Diddy said. "[The advertisement] shows some of the naughty things people do. It's very erotic, but it's also authentic. We've also been getting a little flack for it because people haven't seen a black man portrayed like this in a prime-time fragrance ad. It's revolutionary and a little bit shocking to people.

"It's not really racy to me," he continued. "I mean, I only get half naked."

What's Diddy's Worst Lyric Ever?

Look diddy. You have never been an good rapper, actor, clothing designer, and now you want to make perfume for women. No answer this simple question how in the hell is a woman suppose to smell. If that is the case you would have a woman by now. I need you to stop you made the band and that was good the third time, but that is about all the credit you are going to get from me.

You know, what is wrong with his comments is what is wrong with alot of other men. They are still wrapped up in this 50's mentality that we are here to please THEM. What THEY want. Well, scuse me P Dummy, but I am completely aware of what I want to smell like. If you agree with it great. If you dont, keep it movin son. Men have had 40 years to get used to women being independent and yet this drivel still pours out of their lips. Unbelievable. That is what his perfume should be called. Eau De Arrogance, Unbelievable or Audacity. Some of us actually KNOW what fragrances WE like. Dummy.

I think diddy is taking his fame up his butt and to his head, seriously. "I know how a woman SHOULD smell," please only woman know how they or we should smell. You'll love the smell no matter what, b/c you'll be focused on something else, lol. Diddy get over yourself!!! JLO/ Britney Spears perfume's don't smell that great and I bet neither will diddy's. Instead of trying make people believe your crap, start helping people out, donate, give to scholarships, etc. Just stop BSing!
