The Rise of Celebrity Fragrances

During the last few years, the perfume industry has seen a rise in celebrity fragrances – from pop stars to sports personalities. But with so much choice available both online and on the high street, how do you know which ones to buy? In this article we take a look at some of celebrity fragrances available.

One of the first celebrities to launch a perfume was English-American actress Elizabeth Taylor. Her first fragrance collection from the 1980s was inspired by her passion for, and extensive collection of jewellery. With that in mind she launched Sparkling White Diamonds which is a light, fresh, floral fragrance designed to be worn during the summer. Another perfume within the same collection is Black Pearls. This is an oriental fragrance designed to be both exotic and sensuous. Although both of these are still very popular, she has recently launched a new fragrance Violet Eyes which is a more feminine floral fragrance that oozes beauty and sophistication.

Another female celebrity to release a range of perfumes is Victoria Beckham. Famous for being part of girl group Spice Girls and being married to England footballer David Beckham, within her perfume collection is Intimately Beckham. Since its launch in 2006, Intimately Beckham has gained popularity and is now a top selling fragrance. Inspired by the private life of Victoria, this eau de toilet conveys sophistication and elegance with top notes of rose petals and base notes of vanilla and rich sandalwood.

The matching fragrance for men is David Beckham’s Intimately Beckham. This fragrance is a woody spiced fragrance with base notes of sandalwood and amber. Designed to radiant warmth and convey comfort, it includes top notes of bergamot and cardamom.

Beyonce stormed into the fragrance market this year with her first perfume Heat. An oriental vanilla fragrance with top notes of red-vanilla orchid, Heat was inspired by Beyonce’s fiery personality and is designed to convey timeless confidence.

Joining the pop star celebrity fragrance market is singer Avril Lavigne. Her new fragrance Black Star is aimed at the youth market and is therefore a light and fun fragrance. Black Star comes in a funky bottle with a detachable studded ring and has top notes of juicy fruits including mango to give it a youthful vibe.

Finally legendary singer and songwriter Cliff Richard also has a collection of fragrances aimed at women. All of Cliff’s fragrances are named after his famous songs including Devil Woman which is a heady scent with top notes of grapefruit and Summer Holiday which features citrus tones from Mediterranean orchards.
