The 50-year-old '13 Reasons Why' actress first launched her beauty company Boyfriend LLC eight years ago with her first fragrance of the same name - which became an instant sell out - and now the scent, which contains a "combination of florals, pines, musks, amber and vanilla", has been relaunched with a new focus on "self-care".

She told People: "(I want it to make) people feel sexy, cosy and warm.

"I was playing into the fantasy of a boyfriend, or this idea of a relationship, and having that memory. But now I feel like it's more [about] having that relationship with yourself, self-care, indulgence and pampering. So, it could be (referring to) a boyfriend, (but) maybe you're the only one you need. We're really excited."

The red-headed beauty - who first shot to fame playing Doctor Addison Montgomery on 'Grey's Anatomy' - said running her beauty company was an "amazing experience" because she got to connect "directly" with her fans.

However, juggling the brand whilst working on the 'Grey's Anatomy' spin-off show 'Private Practice' at the same time became too much for the star to focus on at the time.

She explained: "I wanted to do it myself because it was all creative. I wanted to have direct access to my fanbase and to the market. I felt like I could create something that the market actually needed.

"It was incredible and an amazing experience, but what I did not anticipate was in-store marketing costs, the need for newness and the pace. It was too much with a full time job."
