Everyone loves perfumes. From kids to adults, we all enjoy trying out new fragrances, but there’s something unique about well-crafted perfumes used by celebrities that have been recommended by a celebrity, especially when that celebrity is your favourite.
Do you remember when Marilyn Monroe made a public confession that all she wore to bed was a few drops of Chanel No. 5 and how that single revelation cemented the perfume firmly in the history books of fragrances?
So, if you’ve ever wondered about the scents worn by your favourite stars, then your search stops here, as we have done some research and uncovered the perfumes of some of the top celebrities to ever walk the red carpet. If you appreciate classic fragrances, our list is ideal for you, and it’s even better if you’re seeking something new to add to your collection.
This list includes some of your favourite singers, like Rihanna, and iconic actors, like Will Smith, and has been sorted to cater to men and women.
1. 1 Million Paco Rabanne (for men)
A Million Parfum exudes leather’s audacity. A very manly perfume with a sun-kissed charm. The fragrance defies expectations and plays with the senses. It is a contrast of salty notes and sun-drenched leather. It was carefully made with a fragrance with amber heat to heighten sensuality, as though the sun had touched your skin. Right from the packaging, you’ll notice it is as enticing as gold. 1 Million Parfum, like a metal symbol, is for individuals who dare to stand out amid the millions.
And which celebrity comes to mind at the mention of 1 Million? It is none other than the popular American model, Sean O’Pry.
2. Giorgio Armani Si Eau De Parfum (for women)
Armani Si is a classic scent created by perfumer Christine Nagel that is heartfelt and grounded while leaving a delicate trail that lingers. Si is Italian for “yes,” and it represents Giorgio Armani’s contemporary femininity. The Si lady has the boldness to say yes to the principles that define her life. This eau de parfum smells like soft, warm linens that have dried outside in the summer air, with a note of subtle sweetness. It is a floral perfume for women who are strong and graceful. Of even more importance is the fact that it is distinctive, creamy, and always attracts attention.
This perfume has never gone wrong on any woman that knows her worth. A very popular wearer of this perfume is the American dancer, actress, and author, Maddie Ziegler.
3. Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Atlantiqve EDT (for men)
This energising Eau de Toilette, inspired by the Atlantic Ocean, has an incredible vitality that drags you deep beneath the water’s surface. Aqva Pour Homme Atlantique, trembling with strength and adrenaline, portrays the wild nature of the sea with its seductive character. It has been well crafted for those with an adventurous spirit and will lead any man to unexplored territories.
A noteworthy celebrity that uses Bvlgari Aqva is none other than the four-time Grammy winner, Will Smith. For a man that does the extraordinary in movies, we do not find it very surprising.
4. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium EDP (for women)
This perfume is intended for women who enjoy scents with depth and body, as well as a hint of sparkling sweetness. The glamorously punk bottle is an excellent starting point: black with glitter, it’s a visual depiction of the notes inside. The bottle, however, is much more than a vessel: it is a representation of the scent contained within.
Yves Saint Laurel (or YSL) Black Opium has a sensual and dazzling overall tone, making it the ideal fragrance for an evening soiree or romantic rendezvous.
Black Opium is not only worn by Edie Campbell, Zoe Kravitz, Arina Sheldon, Jourdan Dunn, and many other celebrities, but it is also a timeless perfume every fragrance enthusiast should have.
5. Gucci Guilty EDT (for men)
This perfume has been meticulously crafted for men who know what they want and know how to get it. This daring and sensual artwork depicts the charming alpha male, a true magnet for ladies.
The fragrance begins with lavender and lemon, leaving room for the highly enticing smells of orange blossom to emerge. Warm woody accords of cedar and patchouli reinforce the basic tones, providing a solid but thrilling and soft colouring to the entire composition.
The bottle is made of cool metal and hefty glass, giving it a masculine and luxurious appearance.
Chris Hemsworth, the character in Thor, is an ardent wearer of Gucci Guilty. Others are Daniel Padilla and Wacky Kiray
6. Good Girl Gone Bad Eau de Parfum (for women)
Kilian’s Good Girl Gone Bad Eau de Parfum is a multidimensional floral fragrance from the Narcotics family that taps into the allure of flowers.
With a beautiful fragrance, like a free-flowing tornado of flowers, it signifies sensual voluptuousness and a woman who is willing to try anything in the world of love and lust.
Every woman who appreciates true luxury that will last a lifetime will own this. Perhaps that is why Rihanna wears this perfume, which, coincidentally, is the title of one of her very popular albums.
7. Orion Extrait Eau de Parfum (unisex)
Orion is a shared/unisex floral-woody-musk scent for those who appreciate taking a day off every now and then. This refreshing perfume is great for long days at the beach throughout the spring and summer months, but it may also be worn to the office. Therefore, the optimal combination of strong sillage and close proximity ensures that all eyes are on you when you make your entry.
The nose behind this enticing perfume is the highly unorthodox Paolo Terenzi, and it could just be the reason why it’s a popular name within the celebrity circle.
8. Oud Ispahan (unisex)
The Oud Ispahan smell is like walking through the doors of an oriental palace with ochre walls. On cleaned hands, the smoky aroma of burning wood merges with that of sweet floral water. That’s the smell of this calm environment, where roses, frankincense, and resin linger. The fragrance is silky and seductive, suggestive of oriental flowers.
When you hear the words “exotic,” “powerful,” “rare,” “unique,” “luxurious,” it’s Oud Ispahan that is being referred to.
The best thing about this perfume is that its fragrance lasts for hours after being wet. It’s also noticeable but not overpowering, making it suitable for all-day wear. Molly-Mae Hague of LOVE Island is a big fan of Oud Ispahan.
9. Mr. BURBERRY Eau De Toilette (for men)
Burberry’s new men’s fragrance evokes the spirit of London and its moments by mixing classic British perfumery fragrances with surprising elements. Top notes of crisp, zesty grapefruit are balanced by a sensuous base of earthy vetiver and smoky guaiac wood.
The classic black Burberry trench coat—its quality, craftsmanship, style, and everlasting appeal—inspired the bottle. The weighted cap is inspired by horn-look buttons, and the neck is finished with a hand-tied knot in English-woven gabardine.
Mr Burberry is a fantastic choice for those instances when you want to smell good without drawing attention to yourself. Celebrities such as Eddie Redmayne, Alex Pettyfer, and Josh Whitehouse are well-known for always flaunting their Burberry perfumes.
10. CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum is a delightful floral fragrance created just for women who are unique, confident, and provocative.
It is a flowery amber scent that was designed as a testament to confidence, sensuality, and individuality. This contemporary composition is inspired by a young and daring Coco Chanel. This scent honours women who are not only attractive but also distinct and free.
Introduce this energising fragrance into your everyday routine for a burst of inspiration and vitality. It’s ideal for travelling and works great after a workout. Amanda Bynes, Brittany Murphy, Clemence Poesy, Micky Green, and Rachel Stevens are some of the celebrities who have worn Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.
