At this point, it’s nearly impossible to think of a celebrity who doesn’t have their own perfume line. There are some celebrity scents that we can’t get enough of, despite their reputation for being cheesy and random. From Katy Perry’s Killer Queen to Britney Spears’s Curious, here are the celebrity fragrances that the InStyle beauty team actually wears.

Glow By J.Lo
“Glow, Jennifer Lopez’s first fragrance, still amazes me with its beauty and simplicity. It retails for $50 at Kohl’s.com. It has a delicate sweetness to it, reminiscent of just-showered skin. When I wear it, I feel like a sexy sex machine.”—Angelique Serrano, Beauty Director, InStyle
Lovely By Sarah Jessica Parker
“A more affordable version of Narcisco Rodriguez’s powdery, soft scent ($29; walmart.com). Narcisco is for special occasions only; I save it for everyday use.”—Kahlana Barfield, Fashion and Beauty Editor at Large, InStyle
True Reflection By Kim Kardashian
“The mix of patchouli and floral scents in Kim Kardashian’s True Reflection ($32; perfumania.com) caught my attention right away.”—Selene Milano, Senior Beauty Editor, InStyle.com
Beyoncé Heat Rush
“I’d like to be Beyonce, like 99 percent of the world. In the meantime, I’ll try and emulate her scent by donning Heat Rush ($34; kohls.com) to get a similar effect. Blood orange and musk give it a fruity and sweet flavour that isn’t overpowering.”—Sheryl George, Beauty Editor, InStyle
Kim Kardashian
“My all-time favourite celebrity fragrance is the Kim Kardashian original—bible! The predominant notes on my skin are gardenia and jasmine, and whenever I wear it, I get tonnes of compliments. As a result, when someone inquires about my perfume, I have to respond with, “Um, it’s Kim Kardashian.” My first celebrity interview was with Kim when she launched the scent when I was an intern, so it has a special place in my heart.”—Marianne Mychaskiw, Assistant Beauty Editor, InStyle.com
With Love… Hilary Duff
“It was the year 2006 at the time. As a 13-year-old, I remember binge-watching reruns of Lizzie McGuire whenever I had some spare time. Hilary Duff, the real-life Lizzie, was at the height of her solo music career at the same time. It goes without saying that I bought everything Duff had to offer. Her own perfume ($25; sears.com) was no exception: I bought it at the Claire’s in my local mall (with my own money, mind you). However, the scent of this product does not resemble that of a product designed for middle schoolers. As a matter of fact, this is a musky, amber-infused vape that’s quite sophisticated. Thank you, Hil.”—Dianna Mazzone, Beauty Assistant, InStyle
Still by Jennifer Lopez
“Since Glow came out in 7th grade, I’ve been collecting Jennifer Lopez perfumes as her biggest fan. On my vanity is still the star’s glamorous second fragrance, Still ($34; target.com), which even came with a fake diamond ring. J.Lo’s signature floral and spicy notes make this scent my go-to during the fall and winter months.”—Jennifer Velez, Beauty Assistant, InStyle.com
Taylor by Taylor Swift
“We have at least three bottles of T-fruity Swift’s blend around the house because my sister is a huge fan. To my surprise and delight, I discovered that it is an excellent everyday scent that keeps me smelling clean and fresh all day. I’m also in love with the packaging.”—Samantha Faragalli, Beauty Intern, InStyle.com
“I still love Brit’s first perfume, which retails for $24 at Walmart.com. A warm sandalwood base is mixed with white florals and vanilla to make a light, airy scent that is great for wearing during the day.”—Erin Stovall, Beauty Intern, InStyle
Katy Perry Killer Queen
“Perfumes with a strong personality have always appealed to me. As soon as I spritz this show-stopper ($60; macys.com) on, people start asking me what perfume I’m wearing. When I first saw the diamond-shaped bottle, I was enchanted by the bright red colour and the strong scent of plum, bergamot, and jasmine.”—Maya Allen, Beauty Intern, InStyle
