Selena Gomez is releasing her own perfume.

The 18-year-old actress says she's been creating a signature scent for the past 12 months and can't wait for people to smell it.

She told E! Online: "I've been working on my fragrance for almost a year now. I'm excited, because it's something I'm interested in. I'm already doing the whole process of smelling things and designing it and the campaign and everything, so it'll be fun."

Selena has worked on the fragrance with lifestyle brand Adrenalina and it is expected to hit stores early next year.

A representative for the company said: "We are incredibly enthused to be working with Ms. Gomez and will reveal more details pertaining to the fragrance as we get closer to the launch date."

While Selena is gearing up to release her own scent, her boyfriend Justin Bieber's perfume looks set to become the top-selling fragrance of 2011.

The 17-year-old singer's women's scent, Someday, generated more than $3 million in retail sales at Macy's in New York in under three weeks and experts are already hailing its debut on June 23 as the most successful celebrity fragrance launch in history.

Karen Grant, vice president and senior global industry analyst of the NPD Group Inc., said: "If it sustains this momentum, it will become the number-one-selling fragrance of 2011. We haven't seen anything like it since [Jennifer Lopez's] Glow and [Britney Spears'] Curious."
