  • Story Text: Mega-star Beyonce Knowles launched her second fragrance, Beyonce Pulse, at Macy's in New York on Thursday (September 22).
    The black carpet event started with the mom-to-be posing for photos outside the store in a cream Lanvin dress that only showed a hint of her baby bump. In August, Beyonce announced on stage to the world that she was expecting her first child at the MTV Video music awards.
    Die-hard fans began lining up last night in order to be the first to smell the star's new scent and for a chance to meet her.
    Once inside the store, the singer greeted her fans with a brief message before posing for photos.
    "I just want to thank you guys for coming today and I'm so proud of this fragrance. And I hear some of you have been waiting since last night, you all slept here - and I appreciate that so, so much. So I can't wait to meet everyone, and I hope you all love the fragrance as much as I do," she said.
    One fan from Houston, Texas, Knowles' hometown, was excited to support her fellow Texan.
    "I've been with her since Destiny's Child, before she was Beyonce on her own, I love her - great inspiration and role model."
    Pulse is the singer's second perfume and is marketed as having an "enchanting" scent. Excited fans gave the perfume their stamp of approval.
    "It smells so good, I have it on right now," she said.
    Beyonce Pulse is developed by Coty, Inc., which is the world's largest fragrance company.
