Country star Shania back on home turf to promote new scent

18 SEPTEMBER 2007

It was a case of combining business with pleasure this week for Ontario-born country star Shania Twain, as she made a trip back to her homeland. The much-loved musical export returned to Canada to promote her new fragrance, and also managed to squeeze in a spot of retail therapy in Toronto's posh Yorkville shopping district.

The five-time Grammy winner's new perfume, 'Shania Starlight' is her second collaboration with beauty house Coty. And finding inspiration for her new project was, she admits, a little more challenging this time around.

"For my first fragrance I had already chosen so many of my favourite things that I didn't know what to choose for my second," explains the singer, who lives in Montreux, Switzerland, with her husband and producer Mutt Lange and their seven-year-old son, Eja.

The final result she says, is "sexier and more sensual" than her first venture and more of a "night-time fragrance".
