The 43-year-old 'Hot Pursuit' actress has admitted she created her third "statement" fragrance So Very Sofia, which will be available through Avon representatives later this year, to empower females.

Speaking to PEOPLE about the idea behind her latest fragrance, the Colombian-born beauty said: "The bold woman who is her own muse and is not afraid to flaunt her beauty.

"The scent is very bold which is important to me -- when you wear a fragrance, you want to get noticed

"She encourages others to live life with passion and confidence. But most of all, she knows that women can be both feminine and powerful - and that the two are not mutually exclusive.

"I want women to wear this and make a statement."

Speaking previously about the scent, she said: "I want to help empower each woman to take control of her life, and gain the confidence and ability to achieve her dreams."

Meanwhile, the brunette beauty - who is a natural blonde - has revealed she will not trade her long tresses for the shorter cropped bob because she doesn't think it will suit her.

Speaking about the long bob hair style, Sofia said: "I think that hairstyle [the bob] looks great on a lot of people ... but not on me."

And the mother of one - who has son Manolo, 23, with her ex-husband Joe Gonzalez who split one year after their child was born - has confessed she rarely leaves the house without a face of complete make-up and a chic ensemble, although she occasionally dons her gym gear and a pair of trainers out.

Sofia - who married 'Magic Mike' hunk Joe Manganiello in November - said: "I am not necessarily a sweatpants wearing girl but I do wear sneakers and work out pants out and about.

"And of course I don't wear make-up to sleep. So, yes, sometimes I am make-up free around the house."
