Hollywood star Courtney Cox was announced as the face of Avon’s new fragrance for women called Spotlight at a Central Park event last night.

“It (the scent) is not overpowering, and it’s feminine,” the Friends sitcom actress said at the cocktail party organized to celebrate the perfume set for an April launch. “I don’t like overpowering scents. I like when people have to get close to smell you. I knew that I loved Spotlight as soon as I smelled it. It’s just perfect — it’s floral, it’s citrus.”

Cox, 44, said she loves the way Avon cares about their employees.

“They stand for such important things and are just so charitable,” she added. “Until I met with the company, I didn’t know everything they did, how much they give back. I was like, ‘Wow, I want to be a part of their organization.’ And the scent was perfect. Had the scent not been good, had the company not been great, I might not have done it. But it worked out perfectly. It was the perfect marriage.”

Cox is currently starring in the new season of Scrubs which premiered on ABC on January 6, 2009.
