Campbell's Perfume Deal Reeks of Rip Off

A cosmetics-marketing firm claims in a Manhattan lawsuit that Naomi Campbell didn't hand over its cut of the proceeds from a fragrance-licensing agreement.

The lawsuit says the supermodel violated a 1998 contract by leaving Moodform Mission out of a deal made within roughly the last year.

It says she stopped paying Moodform Mission its share of proceeds from scents it helped develop, including Naomi Campbell, Cat Deluxe and Seductive Elixir.

A representative for Campbell says through a lawyer that the model "categorically denies the allegations."

Procter & Gamble Co., which sells the fragrances, didn't immediately respond to messages Tuesday.

Moodform Mission is based in Miami Beach, Fla., and London.

The lawsuit, filed late Monday, seeks unspecified damages.
