Finally, Pharrell Williams is mighty HAPPY these days.  On top of that, a brotha is smelling pretty good too.  Coming to a store near you, the Skateboard P has teamed up with Japanese fashion brand Comme des Garcons to create a new fragrance.  The joint venture marks the first time Comme des Garcons has collaborated with a musician to create a scent.

Inspired by his new album, which debut at No. 2 on the Billboard, the Oscar Nominated producer/singer's new scent is called ‘GIRL’.  Hopefully, the fragrance will find the same success.  Surprisingly enough, despite its name, the perfume will actually be for men and women.

Pharrell told Women’s Wear Daily (via Billboard), “As one of my favorite designers once said, ‘Comme des Garcons is your favorite designers’ favorite designer…the top of the top, the best of the best.  I am so honored to be working with Comme des Garcons and cherish the education that I’ve experienced in this collaboration.”

It looks like the feeling in mutual as Adrian Joffe, chief executive of Comme des Garcons Parfum said, “Pharrell knew exactly what he wanted the perfume to smell like right from the beginning.  It has been an honor to work with such a creative artist with a great vision, which for Comme des Garcons is the most important thing.”

Listen to Tha Wire below and find out when 'Girl' will arrive in stores.  In the meantime, Pharrell Williams and Will.i.am were able to end their ongoing legal battle over the term “I AM.”  Will sued P claiming that the producer’s media brand "I am Other" was infringing on his" I.Am." Symbolic company.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, terms of the settlement haven't been disclosed and attorneys for both parties aren't commenting on the issue.  From day one, Pharrell felt the lawsuit was ridiculous and was willing to work out an agreement with Will, saying, “I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me.  I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions.  I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will’s trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do.”
