7 Best Celebrity Perfumes — and the 3 WorstSee which celebrity-endorsed women's perfumes our readers go gaga for and which ones make them gag |

See the best and worst celebrity fragrances now.
We'll spare you the trouble and headache of trying on 47 different fragrances — because our readers already did the nose work for you. While some women "only bought this because it was Gwen Stefani's" (or one of their other favorite celebrity's) other reviewers were "a little nervous to buy something with Britney Spears' name on it" (or felt skeptical about a tween star's perfume), but were pleasantly surprised to discover that "it smells good enough to justify admitting in public that I wear a Britney Spears scent." One woman confesses that she is "not a big Paris Hilton fan, but I could bathe in" her perfume. Another reviewer gushes about Hilton's scent saying, "I could drown myself in this perfume and still not get tired of it." Bathe and drown? Wow, that's some pretty hyperbolic language there, ladies. As for the worst ones, a reviewer who is "a huge Mariah Carey fan... had high hopes for this one" but it "smelled overwhelmingly sweet, but not in a good way." And other readers found some of the stars' fragrances to be "BOOOOORING!" or "like granny perfume that has been sitting on the dresser for 40 years." Ouch.
But of course, the true litmus test for an overwhelming amount of our reviewers is this: Does the boyfriend/finance/husband/significant other think it smells good? If so, readers dab it on twice a day; and if not, it pretty much gets thrown to the dogs. And not to take two steps back in the feminist movement, but one woman sums up the overall sentiment of most reviewers by saying, "my husband can't stay away when I wear this, and to me that's the real measure of any fragrance."
Check out the best and worst celebrity perfumes.

Nice choices. Should I admit this? I was appalled by the color of Lady Gaga's "Fame" perfume. The bottle is hard to open with it's claw-like top. But the fragrance is intriguing--it's floral and fruit with a note of incense as well. I love it.

My only wish was that more were covered. I found it very interesting and am planning on checking a couple of them out. A link or bit about the notes in the perfume would have helped me, but a person's opinion says a lot.

It's funny to know that White Diamonds still sells even though it's the most disgusting perfume I've ever smelled. Very Hollywood by Michael Kors is amazing!

I would buy almost anything Kim K puts her name on. However, her fragrances are terrible....just saying.

This is very informative. Almost every celebrity under the sun has developed their own fragrance, so I could never trust them enough to buy them. Even the D-list, faux celebrities of reality TV are trying to sell fragrances of dubious quality. A funny thing... Over a decade ago, my ex-husband bought my mother a huge bottle of Elizabeth Taylor\'s White Diamonds. To this day, mom keeps it on her dresser only because the bottle is pretty. The perfume is virtually unused!
