Amazing yet true, Desperate Housewives star-Eva Longoria Parker, who is "somewhat" allergic to perfume has decided to address the issue so all women can smell great.

It is expected that the month of April will smell like Eva, with a mix of citrus, neroli, bergamot tea, heart of jasmine, violet, freesia, musk, amber and sandalwood. The 1.7 ounce eau de parfum will retail for $45.

Since Longoria feels she is "somewhat" allergic, she wanted to make a perfume that any woman can wear.
The curvaceous bottle was designed by Wilhelm Liden at Paul Meyers & Friends and manufactured by Bormioli Luigi. The scent will be sold in department stores like Macy's, Dillard's and Bon-Ton.

Although, Desperate Housewives fragrances are already on the market, but Eva is unaffiliated officially with the hit program.
