With blessings from her family, a tribute fragrance was created to honor and celebrate the immortal singer and actress. Known simply as ‘Aaliyah’, it can be worn by both men and women. Like Aaliyah, it is unique and embodies the creative, free-spirit of its muse; the liquid is very dark, almost black, one of Aaliyah’s favorite colors. Aaliyah was a generous philanthropist and her support continues, even today. Five percent of proceeds are donated to the Aaliyah Memorial Fund, to support the causes she believed in.
