"Adam Levine has defended the release of his signature fragrance &amp;#039;222&amp;#039; after being mocked by fellow Voice coach Christina Aguilera. The Maroon 5 singer had slammed the celebrity fragrance industry on Twitter in March 2011, when he quipped that he wanted to &amp;quot;put an official ban on celebrity fragrances&amp;quot;. When Levine announced plans for his own signature scent earlier in the month, Aguilera retweeted his March 2011 condemnation and added jokingly: &amp;quot;What a difference a year makes... Welcome to the celebrity fragrance family!&amp;quot;   Levine admitted that he still has misgivings about the release of &amp;#039;222&amp;#039; when speaking to reporters this week. &amp;quot;I know there&amp;#039;s a stigma attached to it. A stigma that I fully understand because I, too, hate the idea of a celebrity fragrance, absolutely, 100%,&amp;quot; the singer told People. He continued: &amp;quot;I kind of thought to myself, &amp;#039;Well I&amp;#039;m interested in fashion and there&amp;#039;s a lot of things about it that could be really cool if done properly&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Levine also revealed that he was not at all offended when Aguilera pointed out his double-standard. &amp;quot;[It was] funny and silly and friendly,&amp;quot; he quipped. &amp;quot;We were just messing around.&amp;quot; The &amp;#039;Moves Like Jagger&amp;#039; star&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;222&amp;#039; fragrance is expected to be released in May 2013. &amp;gt; Justin Bieber, Maroon 5&amp;#039;s Adam Levine plan supergroup? &amp;gt; The Voice&amp;#039;s Blake Shelton: &amp;#039;I want to kiss Adam Levine so bad&amp;#039; Watch Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Moves Like Jagger&amp;#039; music video below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
