The lawsuit filed in Ohio last week caused representatives for both the French perfume house and Beyonce to speak out denying any truth in the lawsuit that the perfume being launched early next year will include the name Fierce of Sash Fierce, therefore not posing any threat to the already available fragrance from Abercrombie and Fitch.
