Beyonce: I wanted women to leave a lasting impression

Beyonce: I have warmth and I have reality

Beyonce Knowles, 28, has recently launched her own fragrance, Heat,
adding to her list of successes.
Crediting her mother, Tina Knowles, for many of the high spots in her life,
Beyonce says her mom, who once owned a hair salon in Houston
and was a costume designer, was her biggest inspiration for the fragrance.
"I wanted women to leave a lasting impression when they walked into a room.
My mother, when she walks past, you know it’s my mother's fragrance
and I always loved that," she says.
