25 Perfumes Loved By Celebrities
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie’s fragrance taste is as intriguing as her screen presence. One of her go-to scents is Histoires de Parfums 1969, a unisex fragrance with peachy openings that melt into clove, cardamom, and finally a rich trail of chocolate and coffee. At £167, it’s indulgent without being obvious, much like Jolie’s style.
Taylor Swift
When you’re Taylor Swift, even your perfume has a fanbase. Sharp-eyed Swifties first clocked Tom Ford’s Santal Blush sitting casually among her things in Miss Americana, and the scent has been a recurring Easter egg ever since the Reputation tour. Smooth sandalwood mingles with warm spices, making it equal parts luxe and mysterious.
The Princess of Wales
Royal wedding, royal fragrance. Back in 2011, Kate Middleton made headlines not just for the dress, but for the perfume she wore walking down the aisle: Illuminum’s White Gardenia Petals. The delicate floral immediately became the stuff of legend, selling out worldwide after it was revealed to be the Duchess’s choice.
Elizabeth Olsen
Elizabeth Olsen keeps her fragrance light and close to the skin. She prefers roll-ons and balms, and her favourite is Diptyque’s Philosykos, a creamy fig scent that doesn’t overwhelm. “I’m not one for perfumes, they often give me a headache,” she admitted, which is why this subtle formula works perfectly. At £56, it’s a gentler alternative that still feels sophisticated.
Beyoncé
While on her Renaissance tour in London, Beyoncé reportedly slipped into Harrods after hours to stock up on one of her must-haves: Kilian’s Angels’ Share. A boozy gourmand built around cognac, vanilla, and cinnamon, it’s as intoxicating as her stage presence. The scent nods to founder Kilian Hennessy’s liquor heritage, but for Beyoncé, it’s just another way to leave a trail of glamour wherever she goes.
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria's fragrance of choice is Portofino ’97, a sun-soaked scent from Beckham’s beauty line that instantly transports you to the Riviera. Think sparkling citrus, breezy florals, and a glamorous holiday bottled at £170 a pop. Eva once admitted she loves how it feels like a chic getaway in spritz form, which makes sense considering her jet-setting lifestyle.
Sienna Miller
A small but mighty fragrance oil by E11even, created by Cat Deeley and makeup artist Amanda Grossman. Sienna has confessed she can’t even explain what’s inside, just that every time she wears it, someone asks what her scent is. The blend of florals and citrus is both calming and refreshing, the kind of thing you’d expect a free-spirited fashion muse to carry in her bag.
Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber may have an empire of her own with Rhode, but when it comes to fragrance, she’s loyal to a Parisian favourite: Ex Nihilo’s Fleur Narcotique. With soft jasmine and juicy peony notes, the scent is effortlessly elegant, the olfactory equivalent of Hailey’s signature glazed-skin aesthetic. She’s confessed it’s the one perfume she always returns to, no matter what else she tries.
Rita Ora
Rita Ora has never been one to shy away from bold fashion or beauty, but when it comes to fragrance, her current obsession is a little softer: Chloé’s Magnolia Alba. Inspired by English gardens glistening with morning dew, the scent balances green freshness with a citrus kick. Rita revealed in her Inside My Beauty Bag video that it’s her everyday go-to.
Rihanna
The internet has been obsessed with Rihanna’s signature scent for years, with everyone from Jennifer Lawrence to André Leon Talley raving about how good she smells. The mystery finally cracked: it’s Kilian’s Love, Don’t Be Shy. Sweet marshmallow and neroli swirl together in this gourmand dream, priced at £225.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham has lived many lives, Spice Girl, designer, beauty mogul but her fragrance game is as chic as ever. She’s gushed about Vilhelm Parfumerie’s Room Service, calling it “super chic.” With fresh mandarin, juicy blackberry, and a musk base, it’s designed to bottle old Hollywood glamour. At £220, it’s pure luxury, the kind of scent that makes sense for Posh herself.
Marisa Abela
For Industry star Marisa Abela, perfume is a non-negotiable. She admits she’s never without a travel-sized Coco Mademoiselle, describing fragrance as her ultimate beauty essential. The Chanel classic is a heady mix of rose, jasmine, and patchouli, leaving behind an unmistakable impression.
Adele
Adele’s loyalty runs deep, and so does her love for Dior’s Hypnotic Poison. She’s worn the scent since her teens, proving some fragrances really are forever. With its intoxicating blend of vanilla, almond, and soft amber, it’s a perfume that commands attention without shouting. At £66, it’s one of the more affordable celebrity picks, but its cult status makes it priceless.
Gillian Anderson
Only Gillian Anderson could make a perfume comparison to a mahjong piece sound chic. The actress swears by Diptyque, particularly the solid version of Orphéon, which she carries like a little secret weapon. “It makes me really happy,” she once shared, noting how the compact design reminds her of childhood. The fragrance itself is modern and sophisticated, a cocktail of jasmine, cedar, and powdery notes.
Sofia Richie
Sofia Richie has got two from niche brand Who Is Elijah. Nomad is warm and sultry, mixing woods, amber, and florals for a summer-night-ready vibe. Wall Street, on the other hand, is all leather, smoke, and spice, the perfume equivalent of a tailored suit in a dimly lit bar. Priced from £60, the duo proves that Sofia knows how to switch between playful wanderlust and sophisticated edge with just a spritz.
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo stumbled upon her signature scent by accident in a duty-free, but it’s been love ever since. Jo Malone’s Myrrh & Tonka is her fragrance of choice, blending vanilla, tonka bean, and smoky myrrh. Perfect for autumn evenings, the £112 perfume feels as warm and commanding as her powerhouse voice.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's all-time favourite is Byredo’s Gypsy Water, a woody aromatic that’s become her signature. But she also swears by Jo Malone’s Lime Basil & Mandarin, calling it her go-to comfort scent. Between the two, she moves seamlessly from sultry sophistication to easy elegance. Priced at £150 and £118, the duo showcases Rosie’s ability to merge runway glamour with everyday approachability.
Paulina Porizkova
For Paulina Porizkova, perfume is pure nostalgia. The supermodel once described fragrance as a “time machine,” instantly transporting her back to memories. One of her all-time favourites is Aerin’s Amber Musk, a cosy, sensual scent that blends amber and musk for the ultimate skin-hugging aroma.
Helen Mirren
Dame Helen Mirren has a love affair with Jo Malone London, and she’s not shy about it. The Oscar-winner has declared she adores the brand’s light, wearable scents, which never feel overpowering. Her favourite? Blackberry & Bay, a crisp, fruity-meets-green fragrance that’s as timeless as she is. “They’re just nice and light,” she explained, insisting they suit her understated elegance perfectly.
Jodie Comer
Even Killing Eve’s Villanelle has a signature scent, and for Jodie Comer, it’s the cult-classic Le Labo Santal 33. She confessed she first fell in love with it when working with someone who wore it constantly, and eventually made it her own. Smoky, leathery, and addictive, Santal 33 is one of those fragrances that clings to skin.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone isn’t just a Chanel ambassador, she sleeps in it, literally. The actress has confessed she sprays Chanel’s Gardénia before bed to help her relax. With white floral notes of orange blossom, gardenia, and tuberose, it’s a delicate £240 indulgence.
Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung has graduated from Le Labo’s Santal 33 to a quirkier signature: Régime des Fleurs Rock River Melody. Created by her friend Christopher Niquet, the £210 fragrance is smoky, green, and a little opulent. Alexa calls it “the best name of anything ever,” and the scent itself is as eclectic as her style.
Dina Asher-Smith
Before stepping onto the track, Dina Asher-Smith doesn’t just lace up her spikes, she spritzes her lucky perfume. Her go-to is Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Patchouli, a £164 stunner with earthy patchouli softened by sweet fragnances.
Naomi Campbell
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has a soft spot for classics, and Diorissimo is her forever favourite. She once gushed about its floral heart, particularly lily of the valley, saying she loves how it lingers all night. At £88, Diorissimo is a vintage staple that feels as timeless as Naomi’s catwalk strut.
Princess Diana
Princess Diana’s perfume cabinet was as iconic as her wardrobe. Her butler once revealed that Hermès 24 Faubourg was her ultimate favourite, while Penhaligon’s Bluebell was also on heavy rotation. Both are deeply feminine florals; one rich and opulent, the other delicate and fresh. At £140 each, they became instant bestsellers once linked to the People’s Princess.
