The Best Celebrity Perfumes
3:20 AMHello Beautiful,
If you know me personally, you know I collect designer perfumes and LOVE to smell good!
When I worked in a local department store, I always loved the days I worked fragrance because I could stand around and sample perfumes with my customers. Talk about a dream come true! Now I can pretty much say I've sampled almost all of the popular perfumes made by celebs.
Here are a few of the celebrity fragrances I've either worn since my early teens, or loved so much when I was working fragrances that I ended up buying them:
With Love... by Hilary Duff
With Love... by Hilary Duff is my all time favorite perfume, hands down. This fragrance came out in 2006 when I was in the prime of my Hilary Duff obsession (ask my family to confirm the word "obsession." I was one crazy 9-year-old) and I got my first bottle for my birthday. I fell in love. I have worn it almost daily for the past 9 years and have gone through multiple bottles. It has become my signature scent (my sister even smells it and it reminds her of me.)
It contains ingredients such as Cocobolo wood, which is prized for it's rare smell, giving it warmth. This scent lasts forever on your body, which is something I really look for in a fragrance.The sad thing about this perfume is, it was discontinued a couple years back. You no longer can find it in stores, but you can buy it on amazon.com.
Fantasy by Britney Spears
Britney Spears is another one of my obsessions, and Fantasy is another example of a perfume I have loved since before puberty.
This perfume has a very unique scent and in my opinion, is Britney's best. The ingredients are things such as kiwi, white chocolate, and jasmine petals, that give it a very feminine feel. You can purchase this fragrance in stores. (I get mine at Walmart.)
Fame by Lady Gaga
Now, I know there are a lot of scary things about this fragrance. The bottle has sharp points, the liquid is BLACK, and not to mention the rumors of the use of blood and semen in the bottle. But I can tell you, this perfume is amazing. She describes the scent as smelling like a "expensive hooker." If that's what an expensive hooker smells like, I'm perfectly okay with being labeled as that! Plus the black perfume? It becomes clear once airborne. It's the first perfume to use this technology. How cool is that?!
The ingredients labeled on the box are very, let's say, Gaga. It reads ""Tears of Belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea, with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot, and, the
combinative essences of saffron and honey drops." (I'm not sure by "tears of Belladonna" she means tears of the porn star, or drops from the flower..) But when I smell it, I would say it's a mix between something fruity, with a little bit of floral, and a touch of baby powder.
Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj
Pink Friday is another one of my current favorites. I've used up my current bottle and need to pick up another one. (And can we just take a second to talk about how CUTE this bottle is? Nice job, Nicki.)
Pink Friday is a lot like Britney's Fantasy in smell. It's a very sweet, feminine smell. It contains many girly scents such as lotus, Italian mandarin, star fruit and vanilla.
Alright. Those are my current favorite perfumes.
Until next time!
