Fergie’s new Avon fragrance hasn’t been named yet, but it already has hubby and actor Josh Duhamel’s stamp of approval. The Black Eyed Peas singer talked about the “fresh and yet modern” scent she’s been developing for the beauty giant, which is launching in November 2010. “We’ve been designing this for over a year,” said Fergie, who performed at the Avon Foundation for Women benefit held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York on Tuesday, about her first-ever scent. “But I’ve been keeping my big mouth shut about it. I wanted it to smell fresh and yet modern at the same time…it’s definitely for confident, strong women.” And what exactly does Josh think about the fragrance? “He loved it…of course he does,” she said, adding, “I just made sure that he liked it, because that would be important.” Looking happy and content in a feathered Valentino dress, the newlywed (the two married on Jan. 10) described married life as “wonderful.” “I am happy,” she told PEOPLE. “I just saw him. We had a romantic rendezvous in Oklahoma City, because I’ve been on tour with U2, so he came to visit me there. And I’m going to go visit him on the set of his film Life as We Know It with Katherine Heigl.” –reporting by Jeffrey Slonim
