Lady Gaga isn’t the first celeb to come out with their own fragrance, but she can certainly claim the crown for having the most over-the-top masquerade ball-themed launch party!

The 26-year-old singer celebrated the release of her perfume, FAME, at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC on Thursday. Gaga arrived to her event in style in a convertible Rolls Royce wearing a gold crown and black Prabul Gurung dress.

One inside, the “Born This Way” singer continued the spectacle by sleeping inside a giant replica of her perfume bottle. Guests could walk by and touch her while she slept through a small hole. When Gaga awoke nearly an hour later, she got a new tattoo on the back of her shaved head: the image of a winged cherub.

“Tonight’s piece is called ‘Sleeping with Gaga,’ ” she tweeted to her Little Monsters.

Gaga told Good Morning America in a Thursday interview, “I wanted it to be a very slutty perfume. Because that is sort of the addictive nature of fame that it is, it is seductive.”

“What I like about it for me is I love the smell of apricot . . . And I love the belladonna smell because it has a dangerous sort of muskiness to it. It’s a plant that can kill you, but also smells quite delicious,” she explained. “And I also really love the honey drops. These are all just things that I really like to eat also. They’re things that I would eat during sex as well as wear, if that makes any sense.”
