THE BUZZ.Byline: - Staff and Wire Services SCENT OF A WOMAN: Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't consider herself a fashion icon. ``It's not the way I perceive myself, I'm so low on my priority list,'' said Parker, pointing out that she is a working mother. ``I love beautiful clothes and am privileged enough to have access to a lot of them ... but they also are returned the next day. They are not mine,'' said the 40-year-old actress, who starred in HBO's hit ``Sex and the City.'' Parker was in Toronto on Thursday for the Canadian launch of her new fragrance, Lovely. Inspired by memories of watching her mother apply perfume as a ritual before she would go out, Parker had always dreamed of creating a fragrance - and she wanted the scent to be subtle. ``We've all been hugged by people who are wearing something really confident,'' she said. ``I didn't want people to be apologizing, 'Sorry. It's not me, I hugged Sue earlier.' '' REMEMBERING DANIEL PEARL
