With a perfume-to-new-album ratio of 3:0 since 2004, budding fragrance mogul Britney Spears has proven that her fans are so desperate to buy anything with her name on it that she can move 10 million bottles of her various scents despite a creative output limited to one highly ill-advised marriage and an accompanying, gravitationally challenged offspring. However, Spears' newest perfume product, In Control, seems to hint at some long overdue changes in her personal life:

"This perfume is for empowered girls who want to take over the world forget about the men!" she said with a laugh just ahead of a press appearance Monday to celebrate her two-year collaboration with the beauty company.

In Control is her favorite, Spears said, and not just because it's the newest one. "It's more demanding, it's more sensual, it's black, it's about being in control. That's cool and inspirational ... girls need that."

Indeed, there's a clear progression from earlier scents Curious and Fantasy to the current In Control. As Spears continues to tell the story of her journey from initial naiveté to ultimate empowerment in perfume form, look forward to the rollout of the surprisingly bold I Can Afford An Ugly Custody Battle, You Unemployed Motherfucker in early 2007.
