Fueled by social media, in recent years, fragrance styling has grown to become a popular beauty trend. While the ideal perfume can complement, add value and upgrade any look, fragrances are also a reflection of the wearer and their identity. Probably that’s one of the reasons there’s always so much curiosity about the scents stars wear.
If you’ve ever wondered what your favorite celebrities’ fragrance picks are, wonder no more. EnVi rounded up some of the top perfume selections from global stars — from Turkish style icon Hande Erçel to Thailand’s rising superstar Bright Vachirawit. Read on to discover seven celebrity-loved products that are actually worth the hype.
Gemma Chan – My Burberry Eau de Parfum
After her memorable role as Astrid Leong-Teo in Crazy Rich Asians (2018), Gemma Chan has jet-setted across the globe starring in box-office hits. The English actress and activist is known for her elegance and grace, and consequently, her perfume, My Burberry Eau de Parfum, embodies just that. This bold floral fragrance was crafted to reflect the heritage of British design and craftsmanship. The beginning notes consist of a mix of sweet pea, bergamot, and geranium that mingle with the strong base notes of patchouli and roses. My Burberry is supposed to capture the scent of a London garden after the rain, so, as a London native, Chan gravitates towards this eau de parfum that reminds her of her home.
Heart Evangelista – Penhaligon Luna Eau de Toilette
Heart Evangelista is the epitome of everything glamour and fashion, but she is also an avid perfume collector. Despite having quite a collection of scents, the Filipino socialite tends to favor fresh, floral fragrances that match the island’s tropical weather — Penhaligon’s Luna Eau de Toilette is one of them. This product is a bright, floral fragrance that opens up with a mix of bergamot and orange but dries down to a soft blend of roses and jasmine. Thanks to its base notes of fir balsam and musk, this fragrance is the perfect day-to-night scent for any occasion. Evangelista has also mentioned that Luna holds a special place in her heart as this was her perfume selection for her wedding day.
Henry Golding – Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum
Since landing a role in the box-office-hit Crazy Rich Asians, Henry Golding has been busy starring in films and walking the red carpet at the most coveted events. The Malaysian television show host — turned Hollywood actor — is quite the big perfume connoisseur. In an interview with GQ, Golding mentioned some of his personal favorites. Though Golding shared that he does not have a distinctive scent, he explained that tries to match his fragrances to meaningful moments. Le Labo’s Santal 33 was his top pick at that time due to its aquatic and breezy daytime scent. A celebrity favorite, this unisex cologne is a best seller at Le Labo because of its versatile blend of cardamom, iris, and violet that juxtaposes its strong base notes of Australian sandalwood.
Naomi Watanabe – Chloé Eau de Parfum
Known for her great personality and effortless wit, Naomi Watanabe is also one to spritz a signature scent from time to time. In an interview with Vogue Japan, Watanabe described Chloé’s Chloé Eau de Parfum as an absolute necessity. This fragrance is the Parisian fashion house’s modern take on the classic rose scent. The cult-classic perfume begins with a combination of peony and lychee that mingles with notes of rose and cedarwood. This dynamic mix of florals, fruits, and powdery notes makes for the perfect everyday scent that you can’t get tired of. It isn’t any wonder Watanabe claimed that she cannot start a day of work without spritzing the chic, but playful perfume.
Bright Vachirawit – Yves Saint Laurent Libre
Taking on several roles throughout his career, Thai actor and singer Bright Vachirawit has proven to be a total chameleon. Matching this spirit, his go-to fragrance is Yves Saint Laurent’s Libre. Although this product was originally conceived as a woman’s fragrance, it channels Yves Saint Laurent’s revolutionary history, boasting an androgynous edge. Libre mixes a fougère structure — classically related to male fragrances — with lavender, delivering a floral, fruity, and musky scent. Seamlessly blending notes of French lavender, Moroccan orange blossom, jasmine, and ambergris, Libre is the ultimate sophisticated, sensual, and effortless fragrance that “suits both men and women.”
Hande Erçel – Maison Francis Kurkdjian‘s Baccarat Rouge 540
Fit for a beloved global star, Baccarat Rouge 540 is Hande Erçel’s fragrance of choice. The Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfume has grown to become a social media favorite and is dubbed the ultimate “hot girl” scent. A luxurious unisex product, Baccarat Rouge 540 is an amber floral perfume launched in 2015. Inviting and sweet, the fragrance opens up with saffron and jasmine notes before progressing into middle notes of amber wood and ambergris. Then, this artisanal perfume blends with its base notes of fir resin and cedar, creating a full-bodied but perfectly-balanced scent. Versatile, opulent, and absolutely impossible to dislike, this perfume is the ideal companion for a star who keeps breaking the mold and achieving milestone after milestone.
Yuta – Louis Vuitton Imagination Eau de Parfum
Japanese superstar Yuta Nakamoto has fostered a lasting friendship with the French luxury brand Louis Vuitton. Hence, it makes sense his most recent go-to fragrance is none other than Imagination Eau de Parfum. A relatively new product — launched in 2021 — Imagination is a citrus fragrance that opens up with citron, bergamot, and Sicilian orange notes. The perfume then transits into fresh territory with middle notes of neroli, ginger, and cinnamon before settling in Ambroxan base notes combined with Chinese black tea. Described as a fragrance that carries the spirit of travel and encapsulates the Louis Vuitton universe, this scent appears to be the perfect match for a star who is often jet-setting around the world. As a multihyphenate, juggling several roles, Yuta embodies the spirit of Imagination to a tee.
