Tried and tested: From Hailey Bieber to Amal Clooney, these are the celebrity-approved perfumes to shop now

Encased in a sleek glass bottle topped with a simple gold-hued cap, Ex Nihilo's Fleur de Narcotique embodies understated luxury. Its minimalist aesthetic perfectly mirrors the refined beauty that Hailey Bieber has become synonymous with, making it no surprise that it's one of her favourite fragrances.

The French scent opens with bright notes of bergamot, lychee, and peach before unfolding into a delicate floral heart of jasmine, peony and orange blossom. Grounded by a warm base of moss, musk and woody accords, it leaves behind a lingering trail that feels fresh and sophisticated. I enjoyed wearing this perfume during the day, such as going to work or indulging in a lunch date, for a subtle scent that felt clean and refreshing. 

Taylor Swift gravitates towards warm fragrances with exotic hints of spice. Tom Ford's Santal Blush captures that balance, blending creamy ylang-ylang with warm cinnamon and rich sandalwood for a scent that feels both sensual and refined.

I found this to be the perfect fragrance to carry me seamlessly from day to night. Its woody base gives it a grounded quality, while the richer, more intoxicating heart notes create a more alluring mood for the night.

It's no surprise that Beyoncé would gravitate towards a fragrance that feels undeniably opulent. Kilian's Angels' Share is just that. Housed in a striking bottle, the amber-gold liquid resembles a fine glass of cognac – a fitting tribute to the spirit that inspired the scent. The fragrance opens with warm cinnamon before melting into creamy tonka bean and a decadent base of sandalwood, praline and vanilla. The result is a long-lasting gourmand fragrance that feels bold and intoxicating. I personally reserved this for the evening, finding it perfectly suited to dinner plans or cold winter nights.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's go-to perfume is Byredo's Gypsy Water. It boasts notes of pine needle, sandalwood, amber and citrus and the liquid is housed in an unfussy monochromatic bottle that oozes luxury. I found that its mixture of woodiness and refreshing citrus made it a great option for a day scent that feels young but also would attract older consumers through its sophisticated style.  

The supermodel's fragrance line, which launched in 2024, includes six scents – Window2Soul, Salted Muse, Night Cap, Blooming Fire, Eternal Roots, and Jasmine Blues. Each fragrance is alcohol-free, skin-nourishing, and formulated with essential oils. The collection of "aura-elevating scents" vows to "boost both mood and aura". 

My personal favourite has to be Eternal Roots. It has a unisex quality with an almost cologne-like freshness by opening with vibrant notes of lychee, bergamot, and pink pepper. It's softened by delicate raspberry blossom before settling into a smoky base of birch and patchouli.

If you're on the hunt for a summer fragrance that captures the essence of the Mediterranean, Victoria Beckham Beauty's Portofino '97 is the top choice. The scent mixes calabrian bergamot and black pepper with crisp white sheets suffused with incense and amber, patchouli and vetiver. The perfume is encased in a striking blue flacon, inspired by a vintage perfume bottle Victoria discovered while travelling. This will definitely be my go-to holiday scent.

Lily-Rose Depp's love affair with Chanel extends past her sartorial agenda and into her fragrance choices. She opts for the timeless N°5 that boasts a powdery floral trail through Mary rose and jasmine. Touches of vanilla and citrus top notes allow it to linger through the day. I found that this scent reminded me of my family, and I reached for it during those occasions.

Kylie Jenner's fragrance range began with the launch of the original Cosmic by Kylie Jenner, a sweet, vanilla-forward gourmand infused with amber, blood orange and star jasmine. The scent is encased in a clear glass bottle with an abstract-shaped lid. I found this to be something of an underdog in the fragrance world. It has a playful, girly charm and I found myself reaching for it on casual days out, like shopping trips.

The sensual floral fragrance's play between aromatic lavender from France and smokey orange blossom from Morocco elicits a woody base topped with deep vanilla. The top notes include tangerine, bergamont and lavender while the heart notes boast aromas of jasmine sambac, orange blossom and orchid accord. The fragrance is completed with a base of tonka bean, vanilla, amber gris, and vetiver.

Its signature glass silhouette adorned with the oversized YSL logo in gold hardware is set against the fiery amber liquid – making it feel instantly sexy. Libre Intense is my go-to scent for a romantic date – it is unapologetically feminine and irresistibly sultry.

Olivia Rodrigo's favourite Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 is somewhat of a founding father in the world of fragrance. It's an instantly recognisable scent that smells quite like none other. Perfect for both women and men, it blends top notes of grandiflorum jasmine and saffron with cedarwood and a base of ambergris accord. This scent is strong, so I opted to wear it for fancy evening dinners. I also recommend using it sparingly – a little goes a long way.

I have to admit, I'm not opposed to wearing a men's fragrance – especially when it's Chanel and happens to be Jacob Elordi's signature scent. Housed in a sleek navy, cubist-inspired bottle, the ambery-aromatic composition unfolds with rich notes of leather and wood, creating a scent that's undeniably alluring. My future husband will most certainly be wearing this fragrance, and I suggest you purchase it for yours.

It comes as no surprise that Kim Kardashian would choose a rich and sexy fragrance. Tom Ford's Black Orchid boasts dark accords infused with black orchids and spice for a sensual finish. Its seductive quality is courtesy of a blend of black truffle, ylang ylang, black plum, rum absolute and patchouli. I found this very much to be a night out scent, perfect for an evening of dancing and drinking due to its smoky quality.

Delina is infused with a floral scent that has a heart of feminine rose and a base of cashmere wood essence. Tinged with tangy notes of lychee, rhubarb and bergamot and layered with white musk, it leaves a sensual trace. Housed in a sleek bottle, the perfume features the brand’s signature baby-pink hue and is adorned with its silver horse emblem and a bejewelled cap. 

This has firmly become a staple fragrance in my collection. I gravitate towards wearing this fragrance from day through to evening, as it has a romantic quality that never feels overpowering. It's also the fragrance I receive the most compliments on.

Sabrina Carpenter is a big fan of Maison Margiela's Replica in the scent By The Fireplace. This woody scent blends top notes of clove oil, pink pepper and orange flower petals with a heart of chestnut accord and Gaiic wood oil. The base is layered with vanilla accord and cashmeran for a warm, comforting aroma. Inspired by 1971 Chamonix, France, this fragrance captures the contrast between earthy warmth and cooler notes.

I was especially drawn to its unisex character and distinctive scent profile. I found myself reaching for it throughout the day and into the evening at home. Its cosy quality also makes it a perfect perfume for the colder months, and it’s certainly one that will remain in my collection when winter arrives.

If you're searching for the perfect summer day fragrance, Miutine is a playful, youthful scent that feels uplifting. It opens with bright citrus notes before revealing a delicate floral heart, all grounded by an earthy base of oakmoss and patchouli. Wild strawberry and brown sugar add just the right amount of sweetness.

Salt & Stone and Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila have previously collaborated, even hosting a pop-up during Coachella 2026, so it's no surprise that Kendall is a fan of the brand's fragrances. I chose Lily & Yuzu – a refreshing, uplifting scent that blends bright citrus with crisp green apple. Depth is then introduced through cedarwood, matcha, and jasmine, before settling into a soft base of lily and musk. It's perfect for a daytime scent that's super wearable and long-lasting.

Prada Paradoxe is a classic in our fragrance cabinets. The floral-ambery scent opens with notes of neroli and delicate blossom, before unfolding into a warm heart of amber accords and a musky molecular base. Encased in a striking triangular bottle with a tilted finish, it also makes a striking addition to any fragrance collection on display.

I found this fragrance transitions seamlessly from day to night, making it the ultimate feminine scent that feels both playful and sultry.

Le Labo is quickly gaining cult status in the fragrance industry, and Sienna Miller is a big fan of Thé Noir 29. Encased in a medicine-inspired bottle with a minimalist label, its design is sleek, understated, and unfussy. Thé Noir 29 blends bright bergamot, fig, and bay leaf with a deep, grounding base of cedarwood, vetiver, and musk. For an earthy, smoky edge, notes of tobacco and hay add a distinctive edge, resulting in a truly unique fragrance.

Mugler certainly knows how to craft a fragrance, both in scent and packaging. Alien Goddess arrives in a talisman-like bottle, adorned in gold with a soft, metallic gradient finish that's like lacquering. The fragrance itself blends bright bergamot essence with luminous jasmine grandiflorum and warm bourbon vanilla, creating a scent that is both rich and sweet, with an addictive, sun-drenched warmth.

Cardi B uses KAYALI's Vanilla 28 and the scent can be layered with other fragrances or worn alone. It boasts aromas of jasmine and rich Madagascan Vanilla Orchid with the sweetness of Brazilian Tonka. It also includes oriental notes of musk, amber, patchouli and brown sugar for a woody base.

This scent oozes summer and it has become my go-to choice for my European getaways this season. I enjoy wearing it alone but it is often layered with the brand's Yum Pistachio Gelato perfume.
