Beyoncé's favourite perfume

In 2023, Beyoncé announced her first new perfume in almost a decade, an untitled "eau de parfum" for $160 per bottle. It was described as a harmonious blend of clementine, golden honey, golden amber and other notes.

The global superstar first entered the perfume industry in 2004, and has since launched Heat, Pulse and Rise, in 2010, 2011 and 2014, respectively. Heat, a fiery and bold amber-vanilla fragrance, is one of her favourites. Its dominant notes include magnolia, neroli, peach, almond, macaron, honeysuckle, musk, tonka bean, vanilla, and amber. She also loves Heat Rush, a lively fruity floral with passion fruit, blood orange, cherry, orchid, mango blossom, teak wood, musk, and honey amber. Other fragrances from her line that she wears include Heat Kissed, Midnight Heat, and Pulse.

According to fans, Beyoncé's scent of choice has been revealed to be Angels' Share by Kilian, a classic from the brand's liquor-themed line-up. An ode to the heady fruit notes of cognac, the gourmand fragrance blends warm vanilla and cinnamon spice over a smooth base of sandalwood.

The singer has also been seen buying Angel Share by Kilian, and is a fan of Emporio Armani Diamonds Intense by Giorgio Armani, a fruity-floral fragrance. Beyoncé has described it as having a "soft, sweet, and comforting smell". The blend includes a floral heart of rose, freesia, and lily-of-the-valley, with lush top notes of raspberry and litchi, and a base of earthy vetiver, patchouli, creamy vanilla and cedar.

She is also known to wear Emporio Armani Diamonds, which is more amber-dominant but retains the floral-gourmand notes. This fragrance also has rose “in a very gourmand way, like a flower that can be eaten,” according to Emporio Armani. The opening notes are luscious, with litchi and raspberry, and the heart has smooth cedar and floral notes of rose, freesia, and lily-of-the-valley. The base is an amber-vanilla blend with vetiver to cut through the sweetness.

Beyoncé has also been seen buying perfume from the Harrods beauty hall, where she reportedly stocked up on some favourites, including Angels' Share by Kilian.

Rihanna's favourite perfume

Rihanna has become known as the best-smelling person on Earth, with celebrities like Lil Nas X, Ryan Seacrest, and Cardi B gushing about her alluring scent. So, what is Rihanna's favourite perfume?

In 2016, Rihanna's friend @StylishGent revealed in a video that the singer wore By Kilian's Love, Don't Be Shy. The perfume, which was released in 2007, is a gourmand scent with notes of marshmallow, vanilla, and caramel, as well as florals like orange blossom, rose, and honeysuckle. Rihanna reportedly wears a lighter version during the day and a more intense version at night.

In 2021, Rihanna launched her first perfume under her Fenty brand, Fenty Eau de Parfum, which she has described as a balance of "spicy and sweet, masculine and feminine". The fragrance has notes of magnolia, musk, patchouli, Bulgarian rose, blueberry, coconut, hyacinth, vanilla, and tangerine. In an interview, Rihanna shared that she created this fragrance for anyone and any occasion, and that she wears it all the time.

In 2024, Rihanna was announced as the face of Dior's flagship fragrance, J'Adore, which she described as a scent that has "meant so much to women".

Taylor Swift's favourite perfume

At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Swift was asked by RuPaul's Drag Race alum, Xunami Muse, what perfume she wears. She replied, "It's Tom Ford". Swifties have since speculated that the fragrance in question is Tom Ford's Santal Blush, which was spotted in the background of a scene from Swift's 2020 Netflix documentary, Miss Americana. According to some fans, Swift has confirmed this to be her favourite fragrance.

Santal Blush is described as "warm, woodsy, and earthy" with notes of "exotic spices, luxe ylang-ylang, warm cinnamon, and sumptuous woods". It marks a departure from the fruity, fresh scents that Swift wore during her early career, such as Ralph Lauren's Ralph and Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue.

In addition to Santal Blush, Swift has also been rumoured to wear other Tom Ford fragrances, including Tobacco Vanille, as well as Viktor&Rolf's Flowerbomb, which she reportedly wore during her 2013 Red Tour.

Lizzo's favourite perfume

Lizzo is a true feminine powerhouse, and her signature scent is just as unique as she is. In an interview with The New York Times, the "Good as Hell" singer revealed that she wears the unisex fragrance Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules.

Molecule 01 is a lab-made fragrance containing just one ingredient: Iso E Super molecule. This lone molecule is designed to adapt throughout the day and mix with the wearer's pheromones, meaning that it smells different on everyone. Lizzo described the scent as "insane", and even speculated that Rihanna might be a fellow wearer of the perfume.

If you want to smell like Lizzo, you can find Molecule 01 at Bloomingdales.

Billie Eilish's favourite perfume

Billie Eilish has her own line of perfumes, called the Eilish collection. The first fragrance, Eilish, was launched in 2021, and the second, Eilish No.2, was launched in 2022. The perfumes were inspired by Billie's favourite parts of the body – the chest, neck and collarbone. The bottles are modelled on Billie's own body.

Eilish is an amber gourmand scent, with top notes of sugared petals, mandarin and red berries. The heart notes are vanilla, spices and cocoa, and the base notes are musk, tonka bean and woods. The scent is super sweet, warm and inviting.

Eilish No.2 is a sultry, woody floral. It opens with bergamot and apple blossom, and has heart notes of earthy papyrus, black pepper and wild poppy flowers. The base notes are palo santo, ebony and musk. The overall effect is warm, fresh, softly spicy and slightly smoky.

Fans of the fragrances describe them as "warm and comforting", "safe" and "youthful". One fan said that No.2 is "more of a unisex fragrance than the original scent, and it definitely feels more adventurous and exploratory". Another said that No.1 is "definitely more of a cooler weather scent".
