Kate Moss is "delighted" to be working with Coty Inc on a new perfume.

The supermodel signed a deal with the world's largest fragrance company last December and has revealed her excitement about the project.

Kate said: "For me, Coty is the ideal partner to create my own scent. I've been delighted to work with Coty over the years and am pleased to collaborate with them on my first fragrance."

Bernd Beetz, CEO of Coty Inc. said: "As a one-of-a-kind modern beauty icon, Kate Moss carries clout and credibility among photographers, fashion designers and the beauty industry. This has made her a leading beauty face of the new millennium.

"There is no one better to embody a new fragrance than Kate, who epitomises the look and feel of today."

The range, which will include an eau de toilette and eau de parfum, is due to hit shops this autumn.

Kate is following in the footsteps of a host of celebrities who have their own fragrances, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and David and Victoria Beckham.
