Jennifer Lopez tops list of perfume makers

Los Angeles: Singer Jennifer Lopez has topped a list of making the most profitable range of perfumes, earning $80 million out of it.

The singer banked the amount from her range of 18 perfumes that she released in the past 10 years, reports contactmusic.com.

The 42-year-old defeated actress Sarah Jessica Parker and singer Madonna.

Singer Britney Spears` range which includes `Believe` and `Fantasy` was the fourth largest selling range. Singer Avril Lavigne came fifth, reports online beauty products retailer Escentual.com.

The company`s founder Rakesh Aggarwal said Lopez`s role as judge in "America Idol" helped her raise the sales.

"JLo remains the queen of the scent industry. I am sure starring on `American Idol` with Simon Cowell has helped sales. The celebrity perfume market is massive and fashion can change very quickly, sometimes literally overnight," Aggarwal said.
