Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is a fan of Tom Ford's Santal Blush, a warm, woody, and earthy fragrance with notes of exotic spices, ylang-ylang, cinnamon, and sumptuous woods.

Supermodel Kate Moss favours Serge Lutens Fleurs D'Oranger Eau de Parfum, a spicy, citrus-based fragrance inspired by the perfumer's visit to Morocco in 1968. Moss has stated that she "wouldn't leave the house without scent on," underlining the importance of fragrance as a form of self-expression.
Charli XCX
Singer Charli XCX opts for Byredo's Bibliothèque, a scent that likely reflects her unique style and personality. Byredo is known for its dark academia-inspired fragrances, offering a sophisticated and intellectual olfactory experience.
Princess Charlene of Monaco
