Coleen scent ’a dream come true’ - 11 July 2020
Coleen McLoughlin has launched her own signature perfume as part of a 10-year "dream" deal.

The 21-year-old, who is engaged to England striker Wayne Rooney, has signed up with Robertet, one of the oldest perfumers in France, and Fragrance & Beauty Limited.

"It’s every girl’s dream to have her own beauty range and that dream has come true," she said.

The 10-year deal will include perfume and a full range of signature beauty products.

Coleen appeared at the launch, at central London hotel Le Meridien, wearing a pink T-shirt and jeans, the same outfit that appears on the advertisements for the perfume.

She insisted that she had been heavily involved in creating the fragrance and thanked friends and family for acting as her "guinea pigs".

"I have been very involved in the creation to ensure the final product is something I am proud of.

"I wanted a scent that could be worn everyday rather than something too obvious."

The 100ml bottle of fragrance is presented in a box bearing the signature of the famous footballing girlfriend, as well as a kiss.

The trendy brunette, who is known for her love of clothes, was voted into first place by customers of ceremony sponsor The Perfume Shop.

The awards - held at the Cafe de Paris in London - also pick out the high street shops that have excelled in the past year, with categories such as Best Trendsetter, Best Value and Women’s Best Shoe Collection.

All the categories and nominees were chosen by pop babe Myleene Klass, GMTV’s fashion guru Mark Heyes and Glamour editor Jo Elvin.

A host of celebrities, including Peaches Geldof, Sinitta, Jools Oliver, Caprice and Abi Titmuss turned out to see who had won what at this year’s ceremony. Former Pop Idol stars Gareth Gates and Michelle McManus, Big Brother’s Kate Lawler and Meg Mathews were also at the glitzy event.

Lorraine Kelly said: "I’ve always been a fan of high street fashion and love the fact that these days there’s so much choice no matter your shape, size or budget.

"I’m constantly amazed at how quickly the high street stores take their inspiration from designers and get fantastic clothes into the shops at a fraction of the price!"

Biography

The daughter of Tony, a bricklayer, and Colette, a nursery nurse, Coleen McLoughlin was raised in the rough Liverpool suburb of Croxteth. One of four children, she has two younger brothers, Joe and Anthony, and a sister, Rosie, who suffers from the condition Rett’s Syndrome.

Coleen met aspiring footballer Wayne Rooney at St John Bosco Catholic school where, she says, he pestered her in to going out with him by constantly asking ’are you gonna ring me?’ Their first date is reported to have been at the local cinema, where they watched Austin Powers 2. Although Coleen left school with a respectable ten GCSEs and aspirations to become an actress (she had starred in school productions of Grease and Bugsy Malone), by this time she had become something of a celebrity as Wayne became one of England’s most famous young footballers.

Tabloid excitement followed as Coleen shopped ’til she dropped, forgave Wayne an ill advised dalliance with a prostitute, accepted a proposal on a petrol station forecourt then threw her £46,000 ring in to the otter enclosure at the zoo. By the time she was 18 Coleen was one of the most photographed women in the country and her developing style had won her legions of fans.

Before long Coleen had no need to spend her boyfriend’s money - she had amassed a fortune of £5.5m of her own through sponsorship deals, writing her own column for Closer, modelling for Asda (whom she is also in talks to design a range for), and a deal to write her own book, Welcome to My World. Meanwhile she has challenged public perception through a presenting stint on Tonight With Trevor McDonald in which she spoke about Rett’s Syndrome.

Coleen, who lives in Cheshire, will reportedly marry Wayne in 2008.
