Take 7: celebrity scents

It isn’t enough that they make millions from their day jobs, but celebrities are now adding to their fortunes with fragrances. We’ve rounded up the ones that are available in Cyprus.

Intimately Beckham

We begin with those ultimate celebrities, Mr and Mrs Beckham. Despite the constant media bashing these two endure, nothing seems to disrupt their success in whatever they decide to dabble. Fashion, sports and now fragrances, the Intimately Beckham range of His and Hers perfumes, is nothing short of brilliant. For Him, the fragrance exudes masculinity with scents of tangy grapefruit and zingy cardamom while for Her pure, fresh notes of bergamot and rose petals but also vanilla and musk. Luxurious, sophisticated and sexy!

Price: £17

Christina Aguilera

“Sometimes it’s all you need to wear,” is the songstress’ tag line for the fragrance. The scent isn’t bad, but it’s definitely for youngsters – teenagers, early 20s – because it’s very sweet. The self-titled perfume aims to capture old-style Hollywood glamour, just like the petite powerhouse does through her own style, by mixing peony, amber, vanilla, musk and a lot of citrus scents. The bottle’s definitely sexy and stylish, and if you like scents heavy in the floral zone, this is for you.

Price: £18.35

Live by Jennifer Lopez

Live comes from one of the wealthiest, workaholic women in show biz, so what can you expect? Well, just like everything else she does, JLo (if she’s even called that anymore) has put her heart and soul into her third sensuous and upbeat perfume. Live is far better than any of her other attempts and even the bottle is gorgeous with shades of purple, yellow and green catching the light of a rounded glass flacon. With notes of Sicilian lemon, orange and pineapple, it’s the perfect summer fragrance.

Price: £21

Stella in Two Peony by Stella McCartney

She’s the daughter of Paul McCartney and one of the most popular and original fashion designers today, who happens to have two more fragrances under her belt. Sheer by Stella was a huge hit. Then came the Two Peony, one part of a two-part fragrance idea of mixing and matching to suit your mood and style. This part is beautiful and above all romantic with notes of peony, black pepper, patchouli, wood and amber that distinguishes it from the rest. The other half is amber and has a more oriental, solid base.

Price: £33

Fantasy by Britney Spears

Put aside your personal feelings for this once sweet and innocent teen bopper. The scent, Fantasy by Britney, was launched in 2005 and smells of cupcakes and chocolate. Apparently, it’s one of those wear it or eat it scents that lasts and is definitely geared towards the younger woman. The Fantasy begins with an enticing mix of lush red lychee, golden quince and exotic kiwi, finishing with jasmine petals and sexy white chocolate orchid. Looking for a gift for your under 16-year-old daughter? She’ll love this!

Price: £29.50

Darling by Kylie Minogue

Everybody’s darling, Kylie, launched her very first fragrance this year, and just like every thing she touches, her fragrance is also a success. “The launch of my fragrance coincides with a new chapter in my life,” the pint-sized entertainer said and just like her, the fragrance is sweet yet seductive. It comes in an irresistible box sporting a glittering holographic effect. One of the best!

Price: £16

Notes by Celion Dion

She possesses one of the most amazing, soulful and powerful voices on the planet and has made millions. It obviously wasn’t enough for this diva as Notes by Celine Dion is her second fragrance. The scent is warm and romantic (what else would you expect?) with tender floral notes that lead towards the lighter touches of musk and vetiver. Perfect for everyday use.

Price: £14.50
