Retna Listening to Snoop Dogg’s “Lodi Dodi” proved particularly influential for Derek Jeter: it turned him on to his first fragrance. “When I was younger I used to wear Cool Water,” he shyly admitted to a group of reporters in New York Wednesday, referencing the rap’s lyrics. That cologne proved to be influential, too; it ultimately inspired the Yankees star to create his own fragrance, Derek Jeter Driven, and the newer Driven Black. “When I did this one years ago, the whole thing was a learning process,” he explained of Driven.

Courtesy Coty; Inset: Kevin Mazur/Getty She had hearts racing with her super-special blue scent , Pulse, last year , but this summer, Beyoncé is thinking pink. The singer is launching a new perfume, breezily called Beyoncé Pulse Summer Edition, to “capture the essence of a playful, sun-drenched summer day,” according to a release.

Lionel Hahn/Abaca Christina Aguilera , Jennifer Lopez and (begrudgingly) Adam Levine may be into the idea of creating their own fragrances, but one star who’s not? Carrie Underwood . “I really don’t know if I would do the whole fragrance thing,” she tells AOL’s The Boot . “I don’t want to smell like anybody else.” More importantly, she doesn’t want anyone else smelling like her. “If people walked up to me smelling like me, it might weird me out,” she admits. “So that one’s not quite for me.” However, the young starlet — the current face of Olay — isn’t totally opposed to putting her name on a product.

Following in the footsteps of her highly successful first scent, Reb’l Fleur, Rebelle is in part the result of a video poll the singer ran on her site; when asking fans if they feel more like a rebel or a flower, 68 percent said rebel — and Rebelle was born. “My grandmother in Barbados used to call me her Rebel Flower,” Rihanna told PEOPLE when her first fragrance launched earlier this year.

Soul2Soul, which is comprised of a woodsy His and a floral Hers scent, was inspired by their joint 2000 tour of the same name. “When our fans think of us together, besides thinking of family, they probably do think about their experience with [the tour],” McGraw tells WWD . “It was important to us to give them something that was familiar.” Though both husband and wife have had their experience concocting scents — McGraw’s first scent with Coty Beauty launched in August 2008; Hill’s first followed in October 2009 — this is the first time they’ve put their noses together.

Have you created a commercial for Keith Urban ‘s Phoenix cologne yet? We don’t want to scare you … but you may have some competition. Ellen DeGeneres got into the game this week, creating a spoof ad with Urban and airing it on her show. The country crooner keeps his cool as the talk show hostess spritzes him with water, cools him with ice and, well, gets very touchy-feely. The ad even comes with its own tagline: “Phoenix: It’s Hot.” After the clip aired, Urban joked, “You know that you’re the only woman that would be okay with my wife, doing that.” DeGeneres’s reply? “I don’t know, she may get jealous of that.” Urban is currently asking fans to submit commercial ideas to his site via YouTube; the winner will see his or her commercial air on live television and be flown to an Urban concert next year.

George Pimentel/WireImage One year after her very first scent, Purr, hit shelves, Katy Perry is planning a second fragrance for November. The silly, sexy singer will launch this perfume — a companion piece to Purr — at Nordstrom stores and on nordstrom.com in November. Purr, which was a top-seller around the globe for months, was intended to make the celebrity scent market “competitive,” Perry told WWD last year . “I saw a lot of my peers getting into this world, and, as with my music, I thought I could bring my touch to the category.” The fragrance — a combination of peach nectar, freesia, Bulgarian rose, apple and green bamboo — “was completely unlike anything I’d smelled before,” she said

Courtesy Coty In the TV ad for David Beckham ‘s new men’s fragrance, Homme , the svelte soccer star runs from one end of a building to the other — while shirtless! — then dives into his fragrance bottle. But the idea of drenching himself in a scent is not the message behind the ad; in fact, Beckham believes in just the opposite. “Women don’t like to smell a man before he enters a room,” he tells PEOPLE. “Women” meaning wife Victoria ; Beckham says he designed the fragrance with his lady’s preferences in mind, as the scent is “something that she has to put up with being on me.” With the bottle displaying Beckham’s new signature logo, Homme — which Beckham explains he wanted “to bring a masculine freshness” to the fragrance world — mixes citrus, wood and fiery pepper in a subtle fashion approved by Beckham’s team of experts: his sons.

Courtesy Coty Jennifer Lopez may influence women around the world, but as it turns out, PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful Woman turns to other iconic ladies (and her mom!) for insight into her own life — and for her perfumes. “I am inspired by iconic legendary women. Women that were pioneers in fashion and fragrance,” she tells StyleList.com about the force behind her 17th fragrance , Love & Light (which sold 51,000 units on HSN last weekend). “The Love & Light ad is a tribute to legends like Elizabeth Taylor , Jackie Onassis and of course, Coco Chanel. We wanted to capture that chic Hollywood glamour and spirit.” But Hollywood’s former leading ladies aren’t the only figures of the past that drive the diva: she also gets nostalgic thinking of a particular scent from her childhood.
