Soul-singing icon Chaka Khan is tapping into sweet-smelling notes for her latest venture. Just days after being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the 10-time Grammy winner will debut her self-titled scent in a new global partnership with HSN.com.
Chaka by Chaka Khan marks the legend’s second foray into the beauty realm. She launched a hair collection a few years back with her longtime stylist as a nod to her signature hair — and vocals. Now she has created a fragrant tribute to her 50-year career.

“It’s a journey of music, passion and soul,” said Chaka in a recent release. “Every note is lovingly made, inspired by the songs and memories we’ve shared. As you wear it, it’s my wish to uplift your spirit, empowering you to shine, whether you’re sharing a quiet time or out on the town.”
Chaka by Chaka Khan features a blend of violet and ylang ylang, infused with bergamot and pink pepper, with base notes of musk blossom, woodsy patchouli, vanilla, warm cinnamon, and sandalwood.
Staying true to her musical roots, the bottle packaging features a classic microphone design with a mic grill cover. “We’re all rock stars,” said Chaka.
The Chaka by Chaka Khan fragrance retails for $35-$9 and will launch exclusively on hsn.com on November 14. Chaka Khan will make live appearances on November 14 at 11 p.m. EST and November 15 at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. EST.
