Article content

Celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Rihanna and Billie Eilish have officially entered the chat when it comes to associating their names with a signature scent. From fresh floral fragrances to warm vanilla perfumes, these celebs have released some of the top-trending scents of the moment. 

Taking inspiration from rising market trends, celebs such as Grande and Eilish have chosen to incorporate popular perfume notes into their fragrances. For example, “There has been a huge uptick in warm gourmand scents over the past year,” says Ashlee Posner, Founder of State of Change and The Perfume Bar.“ The TikTok fame of Baccarat Rouge comes from the same desire for comfort with that deep melted sugar and amber undertone. From our event-based Perfume Bar, we have seen the same, where florals always outpaced the other olfactive families, we are now seeing the gourmand scents and even our spicy scents pick up traction.”

Fenty Eau de Parfum from Fenty Beauty by Rihanna — Eau yes! This unisex scent is sensorial, complex, inviting and inspired by Rihanna herself. In fact, Rihanna describes this perfume as “What began as a garden walk in the global center of perfume became an unapologetic expression of my full and true essence.” Housed in a stunning warm amber brown glass bottle, this Eau de Parfum features notes of magnolia and musk along with tangerine, Bulgarian rose and vanilla among others. To finish, you’re left with soft touches of coconut and patchouli. “Rihanna’s Fenty is a great example of a floral woodsy that is intimate and intoxicating,” states Posner. “There are two different perfume-wearers, ones wearing for others and ones wearing for themselves. Those wearing for themselves tend to choose fresh, airy woods and florals.”
