Nicole Richie to launch debut fragrance

(CBS News) Nicole Richie is the latest celebrity breaking into the fragrance market.

Due in September, Richie's scent features hints of blackberry, orange, sandalwood and patchouli.

The reality star/designer told Women's Wear Daily it's inspired by the scented oils and lotions she remembers her mother wearing when she was growing up

"I have a very traditional Southern mom -- you never left the house without lotion," she told WWD. "Over her lotion went oil and perfume - she was very put together from head to toe. It wasn't just a one-dimensional smell - there were many different layers."

Richie said she also helped develop the packaging.

"I wanted to create a very intricate bottle that was still elegant, but not so in-your-face girly at the same time," Richie, 30, said.

The perfume, simply called Nicole, will be sold in about 2,000 department and specialty stores in the U.S., including Macy's, Nordstrom and Dillard's.
