Shakira new fragrance, simply titled S, in store later this year.

When she’s not making people go “Waka Waka” with her hit World Cup anthem, Shakira is expanding her international brand. She recently unveiled her new fragrance, simply titled S, which is sure to smell like success. S is said to contain notes of benzoin, amber, vanilla, as well as fresh woods and Indian jasmine Sambac. “Like a song, a perfume is composed of different individual notes, which together form a harmony,” Shakira said about her new fragrance. The fragrance is set to hit stores worldwide later this year. Also set to hit stores later this year is her follow-up to last year’s “She Wolf.” The spanglish album is said to be influenced by sounds from Dominican Republic and Colombia, as well as more rock sounds. It’s due in September.

Shakira addicted to chocolate and cake.

Shakira is addicted to chocolate. The ‘She Wolf’ hitmaker admits she only realised how strong her cravings for the sugary treat were when she woke up tearful after dreaming of it while dieting to get in shape for a music video. She said: ‘I love chocolate. I’m addicted to it. Do you know when I realised that? Shortly before we started shooting the video for ‘She Wolf.’ ‘I needed a whole month to get back into shape. I danced, worked out and had to stick to a strict diet – only fish, spinach and a specially-prepared dessert with tofu. For the first time in my life I was dreaming of chocolate and cake and always woke up with tears in my eyes.’ However, the Columbian-born beauty made sure she made up for her deprivation as soon as filming the video was complete. She added to website Tagesspiegel.de: ‘When we finished shooting the video I went to a cafe in Los Angeles and had five pieces of chocolate cake in one go!’
