Cosmo Editors Tested Every Single Celebrity Perfume—This Unlikely One Tops Our List

"If I were to give you a ~house tour~ of my perfume collection, you'd find a bottle of this on the first, second, and third floors (or shelves, same difference). Yes, I have multiple bottles—judge me, I dare you—but why wouldn't I when this is so affordable? This sugar-coated fantasy is more decadent than Sabrina's O.G. Sweet Tooth, thanks to a blend of dark chocolate, sandalwood, patchouli, and fluffy musks. It's definitely sugary, but in an extra sexy way." —MH

"First off, can we talk about the bottle?! It's comparable to ancient Roman busts and belongs in an art museum. The perfume inside the bottle is just as gorgeous. This vanilla scent puts all other vanillas to shame with an expert blend of amber, warm spices, and a touch of red berries. It essentially smells—and feels—like a warm hug and instantly melts my worries away." — MH

"Yes, Selena Gomez's perfume is inherently gourmand, but it's not one of those scents that will give you a headache. This is a grown-up gourmand, one that makes you feel polished, confident, and rare. (What, I had to!) Caramel and pistachio tickle my nose at the first spritz before getting warmer with a well-balanced swirl of vanilla, cocoa, and zingy ginger. The musky sandalwood dry down sticks around all day long, which is extremely impressive considering the price. Oh, and I'd be remiss not to mention the packaging. Selena kept her fans' needs top of mind with an ergonomic bottle that makes spritzing easier for those with dexterity issues. Bonus points for that little design element!" — MH

"I seriously don't understand how Ariana Grande has the time to continuously churn out fire scents, but I'm not complaining. The newest cherry perfume is the crown jewel of the collection, IMHO. The deep-dark cherry note adds a sultry juiciness that makes this super flirty, while a mix of marshmallow, honeysuckle, and jasmine keeps things vibrant and playful. I was addicted after one spritz, and I plan on wearing it on my next first date because it gives off total love potion vibes." — MH

"All of the Orabella scents are great, but Salted Muse will always be my favorite. It's not super sweet or fruity the way so many celebrity perfumes are; instead, its fresh, clean, and a little spicy. I feel like I smell expensive when I wear it, and it's earned compliments from a wide range of people. Men find it sexy on date night, but it's also a scent my mom wouldn't mind smelling at brunch."—SARAH MABERRY, LUXURY AND FASHION COMMERCE EDITOR

"Rihanna is known for smelling ~incredible~ so it's no surprise that the Fenty perfume gives off boss bitch energy. Although it's rose heavy, this isn't your grandma's rose perfume. This is warm, spicy, and jammy with a bouquet of Bulgarian rose (aka the most complex of all roses in perfumery), geranium, and magnolia. I love how tangerine gives this an unexpected brightness before settling in a heady blend of patchouli and musk. This is a total statement-maker." — MH

"Paris Hilton has been making perfumes since the early aughts—2004 to be exact. Can you say sliving? She's come out with 30 (!) scents to date, and her latest just might be the most iconic. This smells clean, fresh, and radiant, with hints of raspberry, pear, and peach, as well as delicate garden-fresh florals. This combo feels incredibly nostalgic, kind of like I'm back in my small hometown shooting the sh*t at the mall with friends." — MH

"I have been a Directioner—and more importantly, a Harrie—since 2011. But I didn't know if Mr. Styles had it in him to make scents that'd rival all my go-to niche perfumes. In a shocking turn of events, I actually find a lot of his fragrances, under his brand Pleasing, to smell extremely unique. This citrus-forward scent was perfect for summer—I kept it at my desk at the office and spritzed whenever I wanted to feel like I was writing in a garden instead of a cubicle. And it always led to compliments. When I spritz this, Cosmo staffers flock to my desk to ask what I sprayed."—BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITOR

"This isn't too heavy or intense—but it definitely feels like the nighttime perfume. I love the slight sweetness, but really appreciate how it's paired with a lil spice too. The longevity and sillage are equally effective for me, which is really impressive for a perfume under $100."—BG

"This smells like eternal summer. When I get kinda sad about the dwindling days of warm weather and salty air, I just spritz on this watery, fresh perfume. It evokes the feeling of spending all day in the ocean and coming home and taking the best everything shower of your life. IDK where Jake's house is, but I want an invite."—BG
