Victoria Beckham is joining the world of celebrity perfumes! In late September, the Spice Girl announced the debut of her new fragrance line that will feature three unisex scents inspired by moments from her personal life.

In a world where a new celebrity brand, collaboration or product seems to launch every day, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by celebrity-driven consumerism … but some of them indeed deliver top-quality products.

These fragrances are meant to capture the essence of their creators and reflect the evolving tastes of a new generation of perfume lovers. But which of them are truly worth the hype? From the charm of Rihanna to the timeless elegance of Sarah Jessica Parker and many others who have graced the perfumery world, these celebrity fragrances deserve a spot in your collection.

1. Cloud Eau de Parfum by Ariana Grande

Harmoniously blending floral notes, Ariana Grande’s Cloud steers clear of cloying, overwhelming sweetness. Since its debut in 2018, the scent has garnered an enthusiastic following among beauty editors and customers alike, reigning as the top-selling fragrance on multiple beauty platforms. In fact, the brand reported that a bottle was bought every 11 seconds in 2022.

The scent opens with a burst of lavender and juicy pear that’s both sweet and fresh, leading to a delicate blend of sweet coconut and creamy praline, adding a touch of warmth at the same time. The fragrance seamlessly adapts to any occasion, whether you’re wearing it for a casual day out or a special evening event.

2. Fenty Eau De Parfum by Rihanna

Rihanna’s scent reflects the essence of her bold and unapologetic style, capturing the spirit of empowerment and confidence she embodies.

The scent is housed in an antique-inspired amber glass bottle designed to fit into Rihanna’s own palm, per Harper’s Bazaar. The genderless, boundary-breaking fragrance is a fruity, floral and spicy combo seamlessly blending creamy vanilla, fruity tangerine, sweet magnolia and earthy musk.

The complexity of Fenty is a testament to its artistry, a fragrance that continually surprises and delights as the day goes by.

The scent has garnered immense online interest, ranking as the second-highest celebrity fragrance in online searches in 2022, second only to Ariana Grande’s collection, according to Statista. Its popularity stems from the fragrance’s unique and intoxicating blend, evoking a sense of mystery, sensuality and melancholy.
