JOLIE DROPS BATTLE OVER SHILOH PERFUME
ANGELINA JOLIE has dropped her legal battle with a perfume-maker who planned to give her new fragrance the same name as the star’s daughter SHILOH.
The actress filed a note with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in January (07) after discovering Israeli/French perfume-maker Symine Salimpour was naming her newest scent Shiloh.
Salimpour was shocked, claiming she was inspired by Shiloh’s Hebrew meaning "his gift" and not Jolie and partner Brad Pitt’s 13-month-old daughter.
The Washington Post now claims the legal challenge has been dropped and Salimpour can go ahead - and she has vowed to donate five per cent of the perfume’s profits to an Israeli non profit organisation that provides medical and educational services for disabled children.
She tells the newspaper, "I was so scared. I mean, c’mon, who wouldn’t be? In Hebrew, Shiloh means ‘his gift.’ And I will use the perfume to give something back to the children of Israel and the Middle East."
