Celebrity fragrances that don't smell like cat pee ?

I normally steer well clear of any celeb fragrances because I automatically think they will be naff and if I don't like the celeb I can't ever imagine wearing it (yes Katie Price, I am talking about you love).

However I got a sample of the new Katy Perry (very silly name, Killer Queen or something like that) and I was pleasantly surprised. Quite heavy but a good fragrance for this time of year.

Any other wee gems out there that I am automatically dismissing because some tango faced celeb is endorsing it ?

I love L by Gwen Stefani www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Gwen-Stefani/L-1186.html I think it 's discontinued now. This thread has reminded me how much I liked it.

Another one for Lovely!

Generally I find sleb perfumes far too sweet, but not this one.

Stay away from Beyonce Heat. My niece wears it, and it's bogging.

I actually really like the Britney Spears one that comes in the round pink bottle, I think it was the first 'Fantasy' fragrance?

I also like an SJP perfume called Covet, especially for this time of year, it's very cosy smelling iykwim?

The Lady Gaga one is inoffensive, but it surprises me how bland and girly it is, I expected her to try for edgy, like the smell of burning tyres!

(Oh, and the best one I ever tried was called Love by Hilary Duff. I didn't know it was a celeb scent because I'd never heard of her, but it was lovely.)

Glow by JLo is really nice on me, although it smells a bit too soapy on the sample card for my taste. Might be worth a look - it's very clean and fresh smelling.

ooh yes lady I had that when it first came out - may get some more - it is a lovely 'soft' scent. Cuddly iykwim??

Oh, forgot to post on Friday when I saw this but for all you SJP Lovely fans, Superdrug are selling it half price at the moment. 100ml edp for £21.

I got a small bottle of Lovely in Semi Chem for a tenner!

LonelyGoatherd · 11/11/2013 17:50

that's where I got it ryan. The cashier said she'd sold lots over the weekend Grin.

Wallison · 11/11/2013 19:36

I think I might have to check this Lovely out. What is Semi Chem pls?

MyBoilsAreFab · 11/11/2013 20:27

Wallison Semi Chem is a chemist, bit like Superdrug - sells lots of things cheapo. (I'm in Scotland)

Wallison · 11/11/2013 20:54

Thank you MyBoilsAreFab. So that's the actual name then? I don't think we have it here. Oh well.
