16 Perfumes Your Favourite Celebrities Actually Wear And Love

Let’s face it, breaking and entering aside, our obsession with our beloved celebrities knows no limits. From their go-to coffee order to their star sign, we want (nay, we need) to be across it all.

So when it comes to something as personal as a signature scent, our curiosity becomes all-consuming.

For a hint at exactly what you’d inhale if you gave one of these mega stars a hug, here are the actual perfumes they’ve confessed to spritzing on themselves.

Scarlett Johansson – Narciso Rodriguez For Her and Hermes Terre d’Hermès

When you’re an A-lister, why wouldn’t you have a fragrance wardrobe? Johansson certainly agrees. “I love the Narcisco Rodriguez one; it smells so good,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “There’s also a Hermès one called Terre d’Hermès that I love. I kind of mix it up.”

Narciso Rodriguez For Her, $205 at The Iconic and Hermès Terre d’Hermès, $195 at Myer

Jennifer Aniston – Child Perfume Oil

This pretty perfume oil may cost a (fittingly) pretty penny, considering one mini rollerball goes for 100 bucks, but Jennifer’s seal of approval is all the convincing we need! It features a soft blend of white botanicals ranging from jasmine to magnolia, as well as touches of vanilla, lilac and violet. Timeless and stunning, just like Jen! Plus, it’s a rollerball, so it’s travel-friendly, too!

Approx. $100 AUD at Anthropologie

Kate Moss – Clarins Eau Dynamisante Treatment Fragrance

“My mum used to wear it, it’s just a go-to smell,” Kate told Vogue as she pulled the Clarins Eau Dynamisante out of her handbag. This iconic red bottle is a favourite amongst arguably the two chicest groups of people: French women and supermodels. Formulated without the regular alcohols you’d find in a fragrance, this skin care and perfume hybrid has been enriched with essential oils that allow it to double as a skin toner and hydrating mist.

Naomi Campbell – Dior Diorissime

You’d be forgiven for assuming Naomi Campbell’s signature scent comes from her own perfume line, Naomi by Naomi Campbell. However, during an interview at the Fragrance Foundation Awards, the supermodel said “I wear a blend of many of my old favourites. But one of my all time favourite fragrances is Diorissimo [by Dior].” In particular its staying power: “I love florals, florals that linger and that’s what lily of the valley does, it lingers all night,” she said.

Emma Stone – Chanel Gardenia

If you’re someone who savours their favourite fragrance for special occasions only, you may be baffled to discover that Emma Stone reportedly sprays her Chanel Gardénia at bedtime every night to induce a peaceful sleep. We’re all about spritzing our pillows with a relaxing sleep spray and Chanel’s delicate blend of white florals and orange blossom would be sure to guarantee the sweetest of dreams.

$495 at Chanel

Jodie Comer – Le Labo Santal 33

Jodie Comer’s signature scent, Le Labo’s Santal 33 has become the staple of many celebs, Alexa Chung included. So it wasn’t shocking to learn that the Killing Eve actress first discovered this fragrance through another actress. Speaking to the New York Times she said,”I definitely copied an actress I worked with. We would ride the lift every day, and I would smell it on her, and it would be that amazing smell. But we’re all copying each other. I have no shame in admitting it.”

Susan Sarandon – Santa Maria Novella Eva

“I don’t have a signature scent as such, but I prefer masculine scents like sandalwood,” Susan shared to Harpers Bazaar UK.  Despite not necessarily being loyal to one fragrance, Susan does admit that, “Eva from the Italian perfumer Santa Maria Novella is a favourite.”


$198 at Libertine Parfumerie

Helen Mirren – Hermès Un Jardin En Mediterranee

Ever wondered what a dame smells like? Besides class, talent and beauty, of course. Well, in the case of the incomparable Dame Helen Mirren, it’s sparkling citrus with a heady green twist.

She shared the identity of her favourite fragrance with Glamour, naming this beautifully bright hybrid of bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange and fig leaf as her zesty signature scent.

$190 at David Jones

Victoria Beckham – Room Service by Vilhelm Parfumerie

From the niche, New York-based fragrance house Vilhelm Parfumerie, Victoria Beckham spilled on her favourite fragrance to her Instagram followers, labelling the citrus, sandalwood, black amber and violet scent as being “super chic”.

And let’s be honest, if this scent can evoke even the slightest memory of what it’s named after, we will be spritzing like there’s no tomorrow. 

$243 at MECCA

Meghan Markle – Wild Bluebell by Jo Malone

Sadly for us, Meghan Markle’s lifestyle blog TIG is no longer active. But that doesn’t mean we can’t hang on to all the past beauty recommendations that were once written on the site.

One of those includes Meghan’s daily signature scent; the floral favourite from Jo Malone, Wild Bluebell.

The fragrance notes include clove, bluebell, lily of the valley, jasmine and musk.

$204 at MECCA

Naomi Watts – Original Musk Eau de Toilette by Kiehl’s


Speaking to Harpers Bazaar, Naomi Watts listed Kiehl’s warm, soft perfume as her fragrance fave. The best part? It’s under $80.

The actress revealed she doesn’t like “overpowering perfumes”, and described the musk, orange blossom and bergamot nectar scent as having “that just-got-out-of-the-shower smell”.

Boutique British fragrance brand Illuminum has possibly the greatest endorsement of all time, as one of their perfumes was  selected by the Duchess for her wedding day.

The eight ingredient formula labelled “White Gardenia Petals” holds top notes of lily, jasmine and, you guessed it, gardenia.

Reese Witherspoon – Aerin Amber Musk

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar, Reece crowned Aerin’s Amber Musk as her #1 fragrance, revealing “I don’t go anywhere without a spritz”.

The spicy and floral perfume is described by Aerin as being a “warm, inviting scent you want to wrap yourself in – like a soft cosy blanket on a cold snowy night”. We’ll take 20.
