Rihanna has said creating a scent for her male fans gave her the chance to do "something special for my men".

The What Now singer has already unveiled several perfumes for women, but at the weekend she released a male fragrance, Rogue Man, at a Macy's in Atlanta.

The 26-year-old - who posed for pictures with excited fans as she launched the cologne - told E! News: "I'm all about the ladies so this is one time I get to do something special for my men, but the ladies still get to enjoy it.

"All my male friends have it. I tested on them first. I also sent it home with my girls to test it out on their boyfriends."

Rihanna, who wore a belly-baring black outfit for the launch, said of the turnout: "My fans are insane. They just do incredible things. They show up at crazy places at random times. They bring their family members, their friends, it's all exciting."

The singer met with several of the fans who had arrived to catch a glimpse of her, chatting, posing for photos and signing autographs.

She later tweeted: "Thank you Atlanta for coming out to celebrate the launch of my very first male fragrance #ROGUEMAN with me! 1Love."

Rihanna's fragrances for women include Reb'l Fleur, Rebelle, Nude and Rogue.
