We all know that celebrities usually have access to the best of everything. Their holidays are the stuff of dreams, they have cars that would make any petrolhead drool, their clothing is supplied by the best luxury brands and stylists in the business, and you know they all have private chefs on call! Another thing that celebrities get the best of is scents. Countless brands partner with celebrities to get their perfumes represented by someone everyone loves. But what about the scents that your favourite celebrities wear just because they like them? Some perfumes smell so delicious that the rich and famous wear them just because they love them; that’s how you know they’re the real deal.
Men’s and women’s perfume can be a tough world to navigate if you’ve never really been into scents before, so let’s take a look at what some of your favourite celebs are wearing to get started.
Adele
Adele is famous not only for her incredible voice and biting wit but also for her authenticity. Everything she says and does in her life is completely Adele: an original. Her attitude about being herself has stayed with her all these years, so you know that all the things she eats, does, owns and wears are part of her life because she loves them! Adele’s choice of perfume since her early teens has been the same: Hypnotic by Dior. The scent is heady to start out with, but as it softens, it leaves a spicy vanilla scent in its wake.
Antonio Banderas
The ultimate Latin love prefers a scent that may be surprising to some because of its bright and fresh lemony notes, followed by a more woody base. Christian Dior’s Eau Sauvage has been his favourite for many years, and he’s unlikely to change his choice any time soon.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone isn’t a celebrity you associate with excessive luxury at first glance. She mostly seems like a no-frills, no-fuss woman. Yes, her red-carpet glam is up there with the best of them, and she never has a hair out of place at any event she attends, but she seems very down-to-earth in other aspects of her life. She is, except for her love of Les Exclusifs de Chanel Gardénia. Stone says she loves this scent so much that she even spitzes it on before she lies down to sleep! Gardenia, orange blossom and tuberose send her off into the land of slumber every night.
Brad Pitt
Beloved for his rugged good looks since the second he hit the screen many decades ago, Brad Pitt has been idolised by men for his masculinity and by women for his near divinity for a long time now. Now that we know which scent he loves best, Lorenzo Villoresi’s Musk, we can also idolise him for his excellent taste in scents.
Naomi Campbell
If you thought supermodels just smelled like money and exclusivity, you were wrong! At least in the case of the one and only Naomi Campbell. When Campbell spoke to a reporter at the 2018 Fragrance Foundation Awards, the leggy model went on and on about her adoration of Dior’s Diorissimo and how she never wears anything else. It’s a sure bet that she’s been using that fragrance for a long time now, making it a scent that adorns the neck of one of the most beautiful women in the world.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo has been viewed as a good boy and a bad boy on and off throughout his career. His angelic good looks, not to mention his acting chops, got him started in the industry. It’s his ability to evolve and fit into any part that comes his way that’s kept him acting long after his young Hollywood status has disappeared. One thing he doesn’t ever change is his favourite scent: Eau D’Hadrien by Annick Goutal.
Meghan Markle
Meghan has been in the papers a lot over the last few years and not always because the best things are happening to her. The Duchess of Sussex (wait, is that still; her title? We are not sure anymore!) does have some wonderful things going for her: her humanitarian efforts, her gorgeous husband and her wonderful taste in fragrances! It’s as down to earth as she is: Jo Malone’s Wild Bluebell. She’s an icon in every sense of the word.
The fragrances that these celebs love best should give you a little insight into the world of scents and get you started on your journey of finding the perfect scent for you!
