While the pop princess is hardly new to the beauty game, her latest (and 24th) fragrance, Prerogrative, will have an element that’s new to her line: it was created to be gender-neutral. Spears first teased the fragrance on her Instagram on Monday, where the tagline in the caption noted that it was a “fragrance for all,” something that she re-iterated in an interview with [_People._](https://people.com/style/britney-spears-perfume-prerogative/) “The fragrance is really good, but the name is very cool because it’s empowering. It’s \[about saying\], ‘I’m going to what I want to do and be happy in that moment and not worry about what people think.’” she said. “It’s \[about\] saying, ‘This is what I’m going to do without — any judgments.’” The fragrance has bold notes of pink pepper, espresso foam, and amberwood and its gender-neutral intent is already receiving plenty of love from Spears’ fans. > [](https://twitter.com/lotuseatur/status/1018910916811767809) > [](https://twitter.com/unusualsyou/status/1018878429637369857) > [](https://twitter.com/stampepk/status/1018870843521273858) > [](https://twitter.com/BradySpears/status/1018881380778848256) Spears also spoke in the interview about how her time in the beauty space and the spotlight has caused her to re-think the way she views herself. “I feel the prettiest when I am alone, I have no makeup on and I have a book in my hand.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5341044/britney-spears-new-fragrance-prerogative-gender-neutral/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5341044/britney-spears-new-fragrance-prerogative-gender-neutral/"},"headline":"Britney Spears' New Fragrance 'Prerogative' Is Gender-Neutral","datePublished":"2018-07-17T18:13:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:54.592Z","description":"This is the pop princess' 24th fragrance","url":"https://time.com/5341044/britney-spears-new-fragrance-prerogative-gender-neutral/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt633767031e1dd311/6989358cfb4eac386989720c/britney-spears-gender-neutral-perfume.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt633767031e1dd311/6989358cfb4eac386989720c/britney-spears-gender-neutral-perfume.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards - Arrivals","caption":"29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"Alberto E.
