There was a moment in time during the last decade when best celebrity scents were everything. Colorful bottles emblazoned with the name of your favorite actress or pop star were the talk of the beauty industry. Those days are sadly over; celeb perfumes have fallen out of fashion and been replaced by famous lipstick and contour kits. But don't miss out on your next signature scent simply because it's not top-of-mind. Ahead, the 14 best fragrances of the celebrity perfume boom worth buying in 2017. (Shop swiftly, some of the bottles are becoming hard to find).
1 Curious by Britney Spears
This perfume juggernaut has sold more than 500 million bottles in the decade since its
release (and those are old stats). It's not without reason: the fresh, juicy
floral scent is fun, youthful, and cheery. It's nearly impossible to dislike it.
2 Stash by Sarah Jessica Parker
If you can't already tell by the bottle, this scent doesn't cater to
just one gender. It combines woody and peppery notes, typical of cologne,
with clean grapefruit and sweet florals for a soft and sexy effect.
3 Fame by Lady Gaga
The first and only fragrance by Lady Gaga is worth trying if just for the gimmicks: the inky black juice sprays black but dries clear. As for Lady Gaga Scent, it's a polarizing mix of gooey honey and apricot with dark florals and incense.
4 Crush by Rihanna
Out of all of Rihanna's scents, this one is the most unusual—in a good
way. It's bright and citrusy at first, then a little peppery, then a little
fruity (yet sour), before drying down to the musky warm base.
5 Fairy Dust by Paris Hilton
Once you get past the outer packaging and cheesy fairy bottle,
you'll find that out of the 20+ Paris Hilton Perfume branded this is by far the
most sophisticated. It's a strong gardenia and patchouli scent, which never
strays too sweet or too sexy thanks to a perfect balance of notes like orange
blossom, cashmere, peach nectar, and musk.
6 Killer Queen by Katy Perry
Katy Perry's first few perfumes came in a juvenile cat-shaped
bottle. The scent on the inside was about as appropriate as the packaging.
Which is why we were so shocked by her scent Killer Queen; not only is the
bottle quite striking, but the rich gourmand scent is, well, killer. The spicy,
warm, chocolatey scent gets a kick of sugar from juicy berries—but it never
goes saccharine. Instead, jasmine sambac, patchouli, and praline ground the
scent into a potent, sexy, and truly unique pop star perfume.
7 Kim Kardashian
In a blind smell test, you'd love this fragrance. Put your
judgments aside and give this tuberose-heavy scent a sniff. With gardenia and
jasmine, it smells as rich and sophisticated as perfumes triple the price.
8 Incredible Things by Taylor Swift
We're not sure Taylor Swift's Reputation era is going to get a
perfume any time soon (and if it did, would you want to wear it?). So we like
to fondly look back at the Old Taylor and her Incredible Things scent from just
before 1989 hit stores. The creamy, spicy, and floral notes are
sexy in the same understated way as a crop top and mini skirt.
9 Glow by Jennifer Lopez
10 White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor
The scent might not be for everyone—it's rather bold and vintage—but
it's also timeless. It belongs on every perfume wearing bucket list, right
alongside Number 5 and J'Adore Dior.
