Cleveland native Halle Berry is set to launch a signature line of perfume in 2009 with the help of Coty Inc. This will be the first time that the Oscar Award winning actress will have her own fragrance line.

Coty announced the news via a press release and stated:

"A woman who defines beauty, Halle Berry exudes sophistication, glamour, sensuality and natural elegance -- a combination of unique characteristics that will be bottled inside her exclusive fragrance," said Bernd Beetz, CEO, Coty Inc. "Working hand-in-hand with Halle, Coty will develop and deliver a new, one-of-a-kind scent that captures the essence of a strong, beautiful and inspirational woman."

Berry added:

"For years I've created my own personal scent by mixing fragrances at home. I am passionate about this project as I've always wanted hands-on experience in creating a fragrance that is a true representation of me," commented Berry. "Selecting a fragrance is a very personal choice and I am delighted to have this opportunity to express myself in a creative new way working with Coty."

The fragrance will be available worldwide.
