Shawn Mendes Launches His First Fragrance - for Men & Women!

Shawn Mendes has debuted his first fragrance!

The “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” singer created the scent, called Shawn Mendes Signature, for both men and women.

“For me personally, I have smelled some women’s perfume and said, ‘I would wear that,’” Shawn told PeopleStyle. “I’m sure a lot of women will smell my cologne and be like, ‘Wow, that’s awesome. I would wear that too.’ I’ve always thought of it as [just] something that smells good.”

“It took a long time,” he added. “I had to find this happy medium.”

Shawn got the idea for his scent – which features lemon, pineapple, apple, florals, dulce de leche, skin musk, maple – from a cream he purchased in Brazil.

“It was kind of tropical-smelling, but it wasn’t extremely fruity,” he explained. “It had this musky kind of smell to it. Everyone who walked by when I was wearing it really liked it, so I wanted to kind of base [my fragrance] off of that. … I included [maple] because I was hoping it would give it a homemade, Canadian smell.”

Shawn Mendes Signature is available at Macy’s stores and online at Macys.com this month.
