When it comes to glitz, glamour, and smelling fabulous, celebrities often have a signature scent they swear by. From the "heavenly" reputation of Rihanna to the earthy, masculine accords worn by Harry Styles, there is a celebrity-endorsed fragrance for every style.
At The Essence Vault, we believe luxury shouldn't be exclusive. We have curated a collection of designer-inspired fragrances that allow you to capture these iconic A-list vibes without the designer price tag. Here is the breakdown of what your favourite stars are really wearing.
The A-List Fragrance File
Rihanna: The "Heavenly" Icon
Rihanna is the undisputed queen of smelling good. Peers like Lil Nas X have famously claimed she smells "like heaven." Her reported go-to is Love, Don't Be Shy—a sweet, gourmand masterpiece. You can capture this vibe with our No. 112, featuring top notes of neroli, middle notes of orange blossom, and a playful base of marshmallow.
Olivia Rodrigo: Natural Musk & Sophistication
The Grammy winner revealed to Vogue that she prefers "perfumes that have a natural musk," specifically Baccarat Rouge 540. This seductive scent is bright yet woody. Our version, No. 461, balances blood orange and citrus with saffron and ambergris for a show-stopping finish.
Harry Styles: Swagger & Spice
Fans are so desperate to know what Harry Styles smells like that a "Styles-coded" candle once sold out in days. He is known to be a fan of Tobacco Vanille. Reach for our No. 290 to experience that signature blend of tobacco leaf, aromatic spices, and warming vanilla.
Sydney Sweeney: Modern IT-Girl Floral
The Euphoria star opts for a signature floral fragrance that feels "cosy and like home." Her scent of choice is My Way. Our No. 807 replicates this unique blend of orange blossom and bergamot on a base of creamy vanilla and white musk.
Zendaya: Fresh, Light & Radiant
Zendaya reportedly prefers scents that are light and airy, specifically Idôle. For a similar radiant, feminine profile, our Citrus Rose Eau de Parfum combines petals, honey, and rum notes for a sophisticated daily driver.
Hollywood's Leading Men
- Ryan Gosling: The leading man opts for the leathery, woody charm of Homme. Try our No. 106 for that classic cedar and vetiver heart.
- Tom Holland: Described by Jake Gyllenhaal as the "best smelling" person he's met, Holland reportedly wears Guilty. Experience this seductive mix of rose, oud, and clove with our No. 65.
- Pierce Brosnan: For effortless 007 class, Brosnan chooses the masculine Green Irish Tweed. Our No. 411 oozes sophistication with notes of iris, lemon, and sandalwood.
