KL Sogo deputy chairman Datuk Andrew Lim thanked Hilton for choosing the mall as a venue for the launch of her fragrance.

“We are very thrilled to have you and are grateful to host the launch of your new product in Malaysia.”

A 22-year-old Singaporean fan, Sidney Kwek, said he has been Hilton’s fan since childhood and he came all the way from Singapore just to meet her.

“I skipped school today just for this.

“I’m glad I got an autograph and a selfie with her.”

Prior to Malaysia, Hilton also launched the same fragrance in Bangkok, Thailand on Monday.

According to the product description on Hilton’s official site, the Ruby Rush fragrance is a combination of juicy cherry, red dahlia and sandalwood notes.

This isn’t Hilton’s first public appearance in Malaysia.

She was here in January 2015, to perform at an event called The Party of The Century in conjunction with the soft launch of the Empire City project in Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya.

Hilton then returned here in October 2015 to launch her limited edition fragrance.
