Leona to launch scent

Leona Lewis is set to bottle the sweet smell of success - the 'Bleeding Love' hitmaker will release a self-titled scent later this year.

The singer, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame since winning 'The X Factor' in 2006, is preparing to create a brand empire to cement her place in showbusiness.

Lewis has teamed up with German beauty giant LR to create the eponymous fragrance in a bid to take part of the marketplace created by rival singers Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez - who all have numerous perfumes under their belts.
