Music star Beyonce Knowles-Carter released her new perfume, Cé Noir, on Wednesday. In an ‘influencer-style’ unboxing, the star revealed her newest scent collection, saying she had worn it a couple of times during her Renaissance world tour performances. “I’m super excited. This is my Cé Noir unboxing, and it’s finally here after years of work,” the Upgrade you hit maker said in the video.
The mom of three has often been perceived as impersonal on her social media by putting up highly curated content that is not interactive. In her recent black-and-white filtered video in which she launches the new scent, Knowles is smiling and having a conversation with her Beyhive fan base. She ends the video by applying the scent. If fans were curious about the pronunciation of the scent’s name, she also says the name out loud in the video. “And that is Cé Noir. Say no more.” The notes of the scent include clementine, rose absolute, jasmine sambac, Namibian myrrh, golden honey, and golden amber as components of the fragrance, according to the website.

Barcelona loanee Joao Felix has allayed fears that he will miss El Clasico after limping off against Shakhtar Donetsk. The 23-year-old was withdrawn in the 75th minute of Barca’s 2-1 win over Shakhtar in the Champions League on Wednesday. Fans on social media were concerned he would miss Saturday’s clash with Real Madrid in La Liga, but the Portuguese international has downplayed those fears.
He said in an Instagram story, “I am fine. It was just a bump. Recover and prepare for the next game.” Felix joined on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid earlier this season, scoring three goals and bagging four assists in all competitions since then. If he is able to feature against Carlo Ancelotti’s team, that will be a big boost for the Catalan outfit, which sits one point and two places behind their bitter rivals in the league. While Felix could be fit, teammate Frenkie de Jong will not feature due to an ankle injury. Beyonce New Perfume
