Christina Aguilera's new scents have been inspired by her mother.

The 'Burlesque' star has delved back in to her childhood to design her two new fragrances and cites her mother's love of "sensual" perfumes as the main inspiration behind them.

She said: "Growing up, I used to play with all the fragrances in my mother's vanity. She had a taste for musky, sensual scents."

The singer describes her Christina Aguilera, fragrance as exotic and fruity while Christina Aguilera by Night, is a more intense blend with amber and black vanilla notes.

Although she has a hectic schedule juggling a singing and acting career with being a single mother to her son Max, Christina revealed she never lets her beauty routine falter and passed on her tips for looking good.

She told People magazine: "Stay hydrated, moisturise and get enough sleep. I never go to sleep with makeup on and always moisturise my face and lips. I also try to condition my hair as much as possible."
