Perfumes That Celebrities Really Love and Wear
Your favorite celebrity may have their own fragrance brand, but they are also fans of perfumes that don’t have their label or they don’t endorse. Over the years, mega stars have given shout outs to these cult and classic favorites, that they aren’t paid to wear.
Hello? Adele’s favorite is Dior’s Hypnotic Poison which she’s been wearing since she was 15 according to two separate interviews. Hypnotic Poison, opens like a bite of an enchanted fruit with apricot, coconut, jasmine, rose and soft vanilla doesn’t overpower. With its combination of bitter almond, vanilla, caraway and jacaranda wood Dior Hypnotic Poison is Adele’s “Little Love” Another fan is Chrissy Teigen, who said “it’s a great mix of sexy and masculine, and not too girly.
Bianca Jagger, Studio 54 and Andy Warhol are all linked to the Disco era and to Yves St. Laurent Opium. Today, many celebrities have claimed that Opium perfume is their signature scent. Heidi Klum, Gisele Budchen and Salma Hayak are all fans of this sweet and spicy honeyed plummy perfume with its tumble of cloves, cinnamon and coriander, narcotic jasmine and rose set against a tapestry of amber and resins.
They may be exes, but Taylor Swift and Harry Styles share a love for Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille which was spotted on T-Swizzle’s dressing bureau by a photographer. This gender-fluid perfume mixes classic tobacco with a mélange of spices: ginger, anise, coriander, and, clove wood with puffs of vanilla for a contemporary, luxurious and narcotic perfume with staying power, even if “they are never ever getting back together.”
There’s a saying that all of NYC smells like Le Labo 33 which has become one of the most recognized gender-fluid perfumes of recent years. Now, it’s the ‘scent of Los Angeles as well, with Justin Bieber, Alexa Chung and Ryan Reynolds among its devotees. The name of the fragrance comes from the 33 different ingredients in the scent, with leather, musk, cardamom, iris, and violet the standouts.
Jo Malone Colognes have a cult following and celebrities from Oprah, Sienna Miller, Kate Middleton and her sister-in-law Megan Markle (the Duchess of Sussex). Meghan Markle has been a fan of Jo Malone Wild Bluebell since her Suits days, a scent that captures the dewy azure hued flowers that grow in woodlands. This fresh and light floral is also touched with the fruity sweetness of pomegranate. Meghan likes to alternate Wild Bluebell with Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt, with grapefruit mixed with a damp algae facet and the most delicate rubbed sage note that seems to float on a clear blue sea.
Rihanna has the reputation of being the best smelling person in Hollywood and the fragrance she “works” is By Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy. This irresistible orange blossom perfume floats on a cloud of luscious marshmallow and yummy vanilla. A real compliment getter, which may be why Cardi B, J Law and Lil Nas want to get under her umbrella.
Kate Moss told Vogue that she always has Clarins Eau Dynamisante in her bag, and she thinks of her mum every time she wears, “her go to scent”. This stimulating cologne for women is composed with citrus notes of grapefruit, orange, coriander, Amalfi lemon and petitgrain; herbal notes of caraway, thyme and rosemary, a hint of carnation and earthy patchouli.
