MICHAEL JACKSON's father is set to launch a fragrance collection dedicated to his late son. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
Joe Jackson has teamed up with a French perfume company to create the male and female scents, called Jackson's Tribute and Jackson's Legend, which are inspired by plants grown at the late King of Pop's Neverland Ranch.
The family patriarch signed the deal with bosses of the Julian Rouas Paris company last month (Dec10), and the fragrances have since gone into production ahead of a 7 March (11) release in the U.S. A portion of the proceeds will given to a number of the late singer's favourite charities.
The firm's chief executive, Franck Rouas, tells the AFP, "With Joe Jackson, we are 50-50 partners in world sales, television rights and advertising receipts (for the collection)... We did it very, very quickly. Usually it takes a year."
A representative for Jackson's estate has confirmed the project has not been authorised by them, branding it "a Joe Jackson deal".
Can't wait to get one. Michael on me, wow awesome <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

Michael Jackson perfumes to hit stores
By Celine Agniel From: AFP January 16, 2011 6:04PM
THANKS to an autograph hunter in Las Vegas who asked to borrow a pen, a French perfumer is poised to launch his-and-hers fragrances in memory of Michael Jackson.
Inspired by plants that grow at the late King of Pop's Neverland Ranch, "Jackson's Tribute" for men and "Jackson's Legend" for women, both eau de parfums, will be formally launched on March 7 in the United States.
Julian Rouas Paris, manufacturer of own-brand and private-label fragrances, formulated the scents in just a fortnight, under a partnership deal signed in California last month with the patriarch of the Jackson family.
"With Joe Jackson, we are 50-50 partners in world sales, television rights and advertising receipts," said chief executive Franck Rouas, adding that a part of the proceeds will go to charities favoured by Michael Jackson.
As he tells it, Rouas - a one-time French tennis instructor to Hollywood stars - was manning his company's stall at a trade fair in Las Vegas when two young autograph hunters asked to borrow his pen.
The Jackson family was nearby, they said, so Rouas immediately gave him not only his pen, but also two samples of Versailles, one of his firm's own brands, with instructions for them to be given to Janet Jackson.
One hour later came an invitation for Rouas to meet the Jackson family in a private salon, the perfumer said.
There, the Jacksons expressed interest in his products; Rouas in turn proposed various fragrances.
Following further negotiations, the musical clan settled on a fruity floral blend for women and a more musky version for men, said Joseph Rubino, 63, the master perfumer whose nose perfected both scents.
Developing the scent - which purports to capture the prevailing floral aroma at Neverland - took just two weeks.
"We did it very very quickly," said Rouas. "Usually it takes a year."
"There's been lots and lots of luck in this story," added Rubino, from Grasse, the small town in the hills above the French Riviera that is the heart of the French perfume industry.
News of the scents came as a court in Los Angeles ordered physician Conrad Murray to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter over Jackson's sudden death on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50 from an overdose of powerful sedatives.
In Los Angeles, a spokesman for Michael Jackson's estate said the perfume venture was "a Joe Jackson deal" in which it was not involved.
Rouas has already received pre-orders and expressions of interest from as far afield as Southeast Asia and southern Africa, and a dedicated website is to be launched in the coming days, the perfumer said.
Similar his-and-hers scents - "Mystique de Michael Jackson" and "Legende de Michael Jackson" - were telemarketed in the United States in the early 1990s, featuring collectable bottles with hologram portraits of the star.
Another line of Michael Jackson signature perfumes, "Magic Beat", launched in 1986, was aimed at teenaged girls but failed to take off.

I will always believe that he is the reason for all of Michael’s hardships in life due to his mistreatment and abusive way of handling Michael when he was very young.
Michael is a creative genuius albeit, however Michael Jackson lacks some very important almost required socialization skills that I believe are a result of Joe “chastizing strongly” his son.
It is my belief that the reason Michael ended up so sad and for all purposes, friendless, is because he lacked the ability to move out of the childhood stage in social skills. All of his friends even the ones who started off being his friends as children, Brooke Shields, McCauley Caulkin, all of them simply grew up and away from Michael. He never did because, guess what, he couldn’t. Michael probably couldn’t understand why people weren’t his friends anymore, why they all went awa,y got married, did other things, moved beyond the water balloons etc., and he probably felt betrayed by them. But the simple fact is that Michael could not get beyond the little boy inside him that was locked there forever. I am sure over the years, it was reason for a lot of his lonliness.
I wonder if he had been taken to a doctor when he was much younger, after Joe had hung him upside down, beating him, or after he had thrown him against a wall because he didn’t do something right, I wonder then would we be seeing the same Michael? I truly believe that he had been injured and never diagnosed. Even today it’s a felony to shake a baby. Children at the age Michael was are very susceptible to traumatic brain injuries resulting from just by being shaken too hard. Michael was subjected to much worse than that.
I could go on and on with examples, but that isn’t the topic here. The thing that pisses me off to no ends is that Joe Jackson still just like then uses Michael as his golden cow and I really do hate him for that. The Michael Jackson we know is a phenom, the most creative compassionate human being on the planet. I can only begin to imagine how he would have soared and amazed us in all other areas of his life had Joe not been so cruel and greedy and hateful to him.
Joe Jackson, OMG, what else <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->
I do agree with you, I don't really like Joe Jackson either and I also think that if it wasn't for him Michael's life and his emotional health would have looked differently. I mean we don't know if he got really physically injured but the scars on his soul are already enough in my opinion. But sure it could've happened and that would be horrible.
And Joe Jackson is to blame for all of that. I believe it is called left brain traumatic injury. It’s fascinating. The left brain deals with all the logic and thinking out things, mathematics, physics, strategy etc. The right brain is the creative side, emotion, personality. The left side being impaired would make the right side work even harder to comoensate.
I’m not a doctor and I could be 100% wrong. But there are too many signs for me to ignore it’s possibility.
I plan on buying the fragrance, of course, if/when it comes out.
@backstager: Well it starts from his father. We all know he was beaten, for not doing something correctly. This came out from the horses mouth. Michael himself. What we are discussing are not fabricated lies from us. So I as a pshychologist see this every day of my life. Teen agers whether it is a boy or a girl beaten and they just want to take their life. Not living anymore so they cannot feel the pain. Does it occur to you that maybe that's why Michael hasn't grown up, still wants to have fun, because he wants to forget all the pain he had to endure from his childhood? Nobody is telling you not to buy the perfume. The only thing is the Joe Jackson is using Michael's name again to become rich. That is all.
What I care about are Michael children. Are they getting a cut of this project? I don't think so. I think these children should have a cut . This is my opinion, and I do respect yours backstager. God bless.
Estate exists to protect Michael's name, rights, etc., in oither words, interests. I am gonna buy for sure.
You are right.. Maybe Michael's idea to have perfume under his name. who knows?
Yes you´re right "backstager" i agree with you! <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->
This is my favorite song by Michael Jackson. The words and the passion. It feels so personal like he was making a confession, "..but I’m only human”. He had faults, needs, and fears that he wanted his fans to understand. He knew he was not perfect. But I am sure he felt that we thought him to be and so from his mouth to our ears and hearts, he put it all out there for us. This song feels like he is opening up and pleading for us to accept and embrace him when it all came tumbling down, as if he knew something was just around the bend that would force us to see that he was flesh and blood and when cut, he too would bleed. His preparedness for things to come. So sad that even now, some people still think he was 100% perfect in everything and anything. To try to live up to that for the entire universe would be impossible and certainly would cause at the least many sleepless nights.
He is an amazing human being. And I embrace all that makes him who he is. It would be beyond tragic to lose him <!-- s

Young parents need to be forgiven for mis-steps and errors in disciplinary judgment. No one is born a perfect parent---when all of us should be, having grown up from childhood, complaining about how we'd do things differently from our own parents <!-- s
Joe might have been overworked by day, and overwhelmed at night, worrying about gangs and drugs and such. The sixties and seventies scared the bejezus out of me!!! And I had the same kind of mean wolf dad, whom I chose to remain indoors with, as opposed to being "out there" .<!-- s:oops: -->:oops:<!-- s:oops: --> A mean guy may scare you, but they do come in handy, when they scare everyone else! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> <!-- s

If you're going to boycott some scent, do it because it stinks or makes you tear up, or itch, not for something unrelated to the product. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Before you all totally boycott the perfumes, for an emotional reason, go watch Joe on Oprah. He's just as sweet and starstruck as a guy who ISN'T big Daddy to the most famous man in the world!!! I just love this guy. His sweetness is showing; he just tries to be the heavy for this Hoax, because that's the way Mike has him scripted, but Joe loves his children more than life. It's not how you bark. It is what you did for Love.
During the sex allegations, I heard with my own ears, Joe Jackson emphatically say that his son was a "good boy", that he knew what was really going on there...and then he said it again, "My son is a good boy!" This is how he sees and will always see his grown man son: as his good BOY. THAT is a real Daddy. He was SO pissed Katherine had to shush him, in another interview!
He wasn't ashamed, for Michael; Joe was helplessly STUNNED, at the irony, and I betcha Joe would have easily taken Mike's place if there were ANY way. We never hear anything about him being godly or a Christian, he's been painted so gruff, but, you have to know Ms. Katherine's "faith in action" must've rubbed off on him SOME. He's very cute and funny as he tries SO hard to not flub up, for MJ's sake, when it is his cue (thinking of on Larry King? <!-- s:oops: -->:oops:<!-- s:oops: --> <!-- s
MJ has cast him as a player in the Hoax! isn't that enough for you to bury your own hatchets?? <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
When it was in the news about him having children in his room, no one allowed up there, locks and secret rooms and da da da, it made perfect sense to me. Why not to everyone else? His gigantic bedroom oasis was the only space in the world that was “his” and his alone. This is where he brought his friends to play and watch videos and have sleep overs and eat popcorn and have pillow fights, away from the peering accusing eyes of those “adults” in the home with suspicious minds who didn’t understand that it wasn’t an eccentricity but normal. He was still a child at heart and in his mind. Children bring other children to their rooms to play. It was innocent. And to Michael, it was what was normal for him. Boys have male friends that they entertain in their rooms. Girls have friend girls who do the same. What’s the problem, unless one did not understand who Michael Jackson the human was? He said he was Peter Pan and I believe from all accounts that he really was. I wish someone had taken the iniatie to have him evaluated by someone who understood this so he would not be forced all his life to feel he was strange and not understand why. Can you imagine feeling you were different from everybody else but not be able to explain how or why to yourself or anyone else and no one putting a name or a reason to it? People calling you names and labeling you with all kinds of cruel tags like pedophile and whaco and eccentric and the list goes on and on. All of the pain Michael Jackson has suffered could have been circumvented had just one person taken the time to at least question that maybe, just maybe there’s a reason. But no one ever did. As long as he was making stupid money, groomed to appear the icon perfect in every respect, kept closely guarded, and still able to draw the masses why rattle the money tree? Wow. So sad.
Anyway, lol, I went way off topic. This subject is just so fascinating to me and it really brings things full circle and makes me understand and appreciate the kinds struggles it must be for Michael or anyone with any kind of difference, to try to be what others have presented them to be when deep inside you are dying to be free to just be you. Puts a whole different spin on illusion.
So in the wake of me opening my eyes, I wish Michael Jackson one safe place away from the monsters in the closet. The ones Joe scared him with mercilessly when he was just a baby. Do you think he forgot about them? Think again. The inner child never forgets. Even through his pain and his frustrations, thank God that he has so much love in his heart that it overcomes everything else in his life.
Hopefully I have not said anything here to be taken as negative. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> Just something to think about in theory. I am always on a mission, searching for answers to why Michael felt so alone and misunderstood. Maybe even why he felt he had to go away, even if for just a little while. This is for Michael’s Neverland where he was free to be the real Peter Pan.

Karen Faye is in on this too. I put the links on the other thread that was posted first.
Im quoting myself because no-one listens to me.
I don't understand why your links to KF's comments about Bal a Versailles have anything to do with her being involved in this latest MJ perfume story. Can you explain why you think she's in on it too?
Bal de Versailles is made by JEAN DESPREZ and Versailles by JULIAN ROUAS. This are completly different companys. Rouas isn't a reliable company for perfumes. Take a look on the critics for his products <!-- s
