Coming out just in time for Mother’s Day is ANNIKA, the first perfume from golf celebrity Annika Sorenstam. For those who aren’t familiar with Annika here’s a great little bio I found on readygolf.com:

“Annika is the greatest female golfer of our generation and often regarded as the best player in LPGA history. Her prestigious list of accomplishments includes her 2003 induction into the World Golf and LPGA Halls of Fame, ten Major Championships, 88 worldwide professional victories, eight LPGA Player of the Year Awards and participation on eight Solheim Cup teams. In June 2008, Annika was named a USGA Ambassador. Annika has worked hard on her off-the-course businesses, which include the ANNIKA Academy, the ANNIKA Foundation, the ANNIKA Collection with Cutter & Buck, ANNIKA Financial Group, numerous golf course design projects, tournaments she hosts, along with her website and blog.”

The new perfume is being marketed for women, and has notes of amber, vanilla, white flowers and fresh citrus. ANNIKA will be available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Scandinavia beginning in May 2009, before Mother’s Day.
