And guess who pointed out the hypocrisy? His "Voice" co-judge, Christina Aguilera. She tweeted: "Ha ha. Adam Levine, what a difference a year makes. Welcome to the celebrity fragrance family!"
Levine, however, is laughing off the rivalry, explaining to People that the "Voice" vixen (who has fragrances of her own) was just being "funny and silly and friendly," adding, "We were just messing around." That said, he still has his qualms about celeb fragrances.
"I know there’s a stigma attached to it," he tells People. "A stigma that I fully understand because I, too, hate the idea of a celebrity fragrance, absolutely, 100 percent." So why is he making one, then?
"I kind of thought to myself, 'Well I’m interested in fashion and there’s a lot of things about it that could be really cool if done properly," he tells the mag. "So I want to do a thing that’s never done properly. That’s my goal. It’s going to be cool."
From Levine to Justin Bieber to Kim Kardashian, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who has the lamest celeb fragrance?

Justin Bieber... he made a girl perfume!! that's just weird!
migraines, nauseate & down in bed, sometimes, for weeks. I used to wear perfume but
since I had head injury & then surgery in 2006, I become very allergic to perfume but not
natural aromas from plants & flowers.
REWARD is I SAVE A LITTLE MONEY!
He sounds life a politician. Is he old enough to run for president?
I hate to admit it but I love most of Britneys sents.
You may hate the kid but his stuff smells amazing.
You're ALWAYS-A-WISE-LADY! Why CHANGE when IT WORKS FOR YOU!
Oh, I have yet to see any perfume or cologne sold in a drug store that didn't find shelf space at the perfume counter in a "Department" store too. I do have to buy this stuff as birthday, valetine and christmas presents for the women in my life. Other than Calvin Cline, Eliz Taylor's White Diamonds, and Tommy Hilfinger, most of the time drugstores don't sell celebrity scents because they have limited space and use it for what they know will sell in thier markets. Most of the times you have to go to the department stores like Macy's, Bloomingdale's. Sears and Carson Pirie Scot to find them. I knw. I just spent a log time going over CVS's web...

I just spent a log time going over CVS's website and compare it too a list of celebritely perfume/cologne and found only Keith Urban. Kim Kardashian , Elizibeth Taylor and celebrite scents by fashoin designers like Liz Calibourne, Tommy Hilfinger, Halston,Yves Saint Laurent , Calvin Kline, and Donna Karan (most of the Fashon Designers scents were put out by the Perfect Scents Fragrances company). THe rest of their inventory was perfumes and colognes by stablish companies like Coty, Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Shalimar, L'Air du Temps, Aqua Velva, Old English, Nautica, Jovan, Rsyee Lauder, and Pierre Cardin (also a fashion designer). They don't gamble onthe type of celebrity colognes being discussed here. They don't got room for it. I haven't checked the Five and Dimes yet and I have no doubt could be there because they have room rhan a drug store.. But I did check many major department store's webiste like Macy's and found of perfumes/cologne that was sold at CVS plus every one of the celebrity perfumes mentioned in the poll's answers above all sold there.
I saw these on the very first page of Macy's women's perfume page.

So Nasicaslly there goes your "Department store" argument oput the window because they are the ones carrying the celebrity scents and probable the five and dimes, not the drug stores.
This guy on the other hand....
