Celebrity Fragrances

Men who wear perfume creep me out.

Thanks for sharing. Most men I know would wear a cologne if they wanted, not a perfume.

Fragrance on men is low class.

"Scoundrel" by Joan Collins.

I really like Lovely by SJP. It is definitely a step above most celebrity scents, and my understanding is that she was heavily involved in its development. I haven't loved her other fragrances as much, though Stash is okay.

Fragrance/Perfume: same difference. But call it fragrance if that makes you feel like a man.

R5 SJP's new fragrance "Barn" is rather unpleasant. It has low notes of manure and high notes of hay.

The David Beckham one is always on sale here in the UK in downmarket clearance stores.

As far as I know, the only 'celebrity' scent I own is a 1/4 bottle of 'Deneuve' extrait de parfum that I scored on eBay. It's a rich, green chypre. I've heard that Cher's 'Uninhibited' was quite good, too, but I've never sampled it. Both are discontinued, of course.

A tiny spray of White Diamonds. I don't wear it but will spray it on a towel and gag and delight at the "pretty" smell. Available for pocket change at Marshalls.

I bought it for my sister but Kim Kardashian True Reflection is REALLY nice. You can get it dirt cheap now too.

Agreed R5, I think Lovely is by far the most superior of the celebrity scents. It's a distinctively enjoyable fragrance. I also liked SJP's Covet as a light summer perfume.

J by Jennifer Aniston is not bad, if you want something light and beachy

I read on the DL that Paris Hilton’s ‘Dazzle’ smells wonderfully of cherries & champagne, in a testicle-shaped bottle.

Cumming.

Tim McGraw Southern Blend is my favorite

I am an "expert" of sorts on this subject if I do say so myself. Ask me anything about any of them. I swear, I have them all.

"White Diamonds" and most ET perfumes (save for Violet Eyes) are unwearable as perfume but they are amazing air fresheners for bathrooms. Two sprays and no odor can outweigh it.

My favorites for women: Madonna Truth or Dare Naked (not the original), Elizabeth and James Nirvana Bourbon (the Olson twins), Ariana Grande Ari, Sofia Vergara's first one and,. on a cheaper front but still a great champagne and cherry mix, Paris Hilton's Dazzle. Halle Berry's Halle is nice too, Jessica Simpson's Fancy a nice toffee if one is into that.

My favorites for me: Beckham Intimately and the McGraw, above. But the mens stuff all blends together, all citrus, all lime. For men, stick to the Gaultiers and Valentino Uomo and other designers over the celebrity lines. (Gaultier's female stuff is great too, true originals that don't just smell like florals. Ditto Chanel and Miss Dior, of course).

(Oddly enough, one of the few I do NOT have is the Delon above in OPs post. One I really want too. Delon is an icon to me as an actor anyway. Best looking man who ever lived actually).

(Found it on ebay at good price. Thanks for the push, OP).

[quote]Jessica Simpson's Fancy a nice toffee if one is into that.

I'd like to try Fancy Nights, which gets rave reviews from many fragrance mavens.

It's okay. Another "bathroom" one. Fancy is the best of the Simpson ones (not saying much). All available at TJ Maxx and the like for uber cheap.

DL diva Diana Ross, whose birthday is today, just did her first fragrance but I haven't smelled it yet.

Sorry, R14, didn't see your post, you must have read another of mine regarding Hilton and "Dazzle". I get shit for it but that champagne and cherry smell is really nice and unique in the fragrance world. Just got a 4.2 oz (big) of it for $20 on ebay. That is one large testicle bottle for sure.

I love Elizabeth Taylor Passion, the original version for ladies from drug stores. It's not very long lasting, but for a cheap thrill it's quite glorious. It was better formulated in the 90s I'm sure, but it's still a great scent and quite strong. It's not a scent many people would recognize, I'd only wear it around the house anyway, but it's unique and non offensive. I find it's a very butch scent like some leather daddy would wear, with a strong, clear, green note that's HIGHLY reminiscent of 80s Brut. Must be all the Patchouli? There's also a pleasant cooked plum note like Poison or Arpege.

I like SNORT by Lindsay Lohan.

I wear Bland and also Bland Vanilla, both by Armie Hammer.

"For those times when you just don't want to be noticed."

R23 If your mother (or Grandmother) wore Arpege, you should also check out Tom Ford's Atelier d’Orient: Fleur de Chine. It's more complex than Passion. It's discontinued now but I got a bottle today and it's really amazingly reminiscent of the Arpege I remember from the 70s, the pre-formulated version. Back when Arpege was the most gorgeous scent on par with Chanel No. 5. It's really heady without the "powdery diaper" fecal note that has plagued Arpege formulations since the 80s. Much more wearable and suitable for a male.

Sort of off topic: what’s the cologne Jake Gyllenhaal has bee advertising lately? The commercials show him with a kid and the narration implies he’s the father. Does Jake have kids?

This is my good to scent. Has a sweet musk scent with a hint of vanilla, lavender, and skunk weed. So delightful.

R2 oops go to scent

I hate that so many asshole celebs have their own scents. Only the tip of the iceburg:

AS usual, our Viv was light years ahead of the eight ball!

R32 cool! Had no idea 💡

I would like to have tried Cher Uninhabited.

Diana Ross’ perfume REEKS...it’s crap from HSN, I was MORTIFIED for her...I did buy one as a goof for my BF, but it gives me a splitting headache and I only wear Le Labo.

r29, that's hilarious.

Btw, doesn't Trump have a fragrance?

I have an extensive collection of Forever Krystal.

I don't think too many DLers will be lining up to buy this one:

The Secret by Antonio Banderas is surprisingly decent quality. Nothing to die for but a nicely balanced leather scent somewhere between a 70s fougere and a more modern scent. They are from Puig (same as Paco Rabanne) Better than Unilever or Coty. Few things are more unpleasant than walking past the David Beckham isle and being beset by the wave of loud and screechy chemicals.

I did unfortunately sample Trump's years ago (just lifted the cap, did not spray): cheap, muddled, lousy, synthetic, nondescript, thankfully short lasting.

Has anyone tried the Shawn Mendes unisex fragrance?

i bet it smells awful

thrth

Eau De Twat

I’m strictly a Sidibe girl.

I saw the Britney & Katy Perry one's for £8.99 (<$12) in a local shop here in the UK today. But you can usually find them even cheaper.

I think 'Sleb' fragrances are about finished.

my niece wanted the Justin Bieber perfume for Christmas a few years ago. It actually had a nice scent.

Hilarious.

W&W for this.

Has anyone sampled La Puss by Cheryl?

I love all the Britney Scents. I buy the latest ones for the ladies in my life along with Victor and Rolf flowerbomb and Marc Jacob's Daisy.

W&W to r49 for having the same taste as my 7 year-old niece.

Does it make you smell turquoise, OP?

Here's an obscure one: Shh ... by Jade Goody.

Jade was the Big Brother UK housemate who became a legit celebrity for showing her "kebab" on TV, then became the most reviled person in Britain after being a racist asshole to Indian actress Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother, then died tragically young of cervical cancer.

Despite being trashy and uneducated, she had great business sense. At the height of her fame, she created her own fragrance and picked out the notes herself. I bought a bottle off eBay for shits and giggles, and it's unexpectedly beautiful: a lush, spicy, patchouli-heavy oriental. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a Guerlain or a Caron.

Cher's Uninhibited is a beautiful scent in a tacky bottle. It reminds me of Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather, Tobacco Vanille, and Amber Absolute.

I highly recommend the website, Fragrantica.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely is a well-regarded fragrance, it really stands above most other celebrity fragrances. Tova by Tova Borgnine is one of the first celebrity fragrances. she developed it herself and sold it to her Hollywood friends. It got very popular by word of mouth and became a cult favorite. Then it went downhill when it became big and sold on HSN. Believe it or not, I love Kim Kardashian's Pure Honey for a summer fragrance. You must spray it on your skin though - it smells much nicer, like honey, in the summer. When I spray it on my clothing or in the winter, it smells like detergent.

Actually Alain Delon has had fragrances for years - I remember having one in the late 80's, Iquitos. They were really good.

"Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely is a well-regarded fragrance, it really stands above most other celebrity fragrances."

It's nice because it's a ripoff of this:

True Refection by Kim Kardashian is really lovely. Bought it for my sister a couple of times and a female friend. Everyone complimented them on it. Literally the only useful thing that trashy whore has done.

[quote]It's nice because it's a ripoff of this: Narciso Rodriquez

Really? I had no idea...it figures.

As much as people make fun of White Diamonds, it does smell very nice on certain women. It would surprise you. And no, I don't wear it.
