Get ready to be captivated by a fragrance revolution, as one of my all-time favorite icons and two-time triumph of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the legendary Jinkx Monsoon, unveils her inaugural olfactory masterpiece—Hera Eau de Parfum. This scented symphony comes to you in collaboration with the olfactory artists at OSM, and it is nothing short of a divine aromatic experience, tailored for those who embody the spirit of a deity.
Drenched in divinity, Hera is more than a perfume; it’s an invocation of the divine feminine, a ritual for the senses, crafted for those ready to envelop themselves in the essence of a queen. With a price tag of $142, the enchantment awaits pre-order at osmperfume.com, ready to make its grand debut on March 11th, 2024.

A potion that would make the goddesses themselves green with envy, Hera bewitches with top notes of Bulgarian rose mingled with the exotic whispers of cardamom and a succulent burst of dark cherry—a scent designed to bewilder and allure. The magic continues as clove and myrrh interlace in a bewitching dance, enrobing you in the opulence of confidence. Then, like the gentle touch of a lover’s caress, the warm embrace of cashmere, sandalwood, and cedarwood unfurls, settling into a lingering whisper on the skin. To complete the spell, amber infuses the concoction with eternal grace, ensuring your presence will be marked by a sillage of utmost sophistication.
In the words of the icon herself, Jinkx Monsoon, “People often tell me I smell good. Who knew?! Over the years, I’ve been mixing like an alchemist to conjure that signature scent. Hera is my answer to that quest. For those who dare to embrace a fragrance that’s as strong, as bold, and as memorable as they are—your perfume has arrived. Hera doesn’t whisper; it roars. Sorry princesses, this is for queens.”
As if by cosmic fate, this announcement aligns with the euphoric unveiling of Jinkx’s Carnegie Hall performance on Valentine’s Day 2025, and her triumphant return as the indomitable Matron “Mama” Morton in Broadway’s Chicago this summer—her name already synonymous with a record-shattering 10-week run. Ever-expanding her realm, Jinkx is set to add a touch of wicked extravagance in Disney+’s Doctor Who as the ‘major villain’ that will capture viewers’ imaginations globally this season.
True icons never fade; they reinvent. With Hera, Jinkx Monsoon invites you to partake in her renaissance of fragrance royalty, to don the cloak of a queen—and with it, an aura that rewrites the history of scent.
