In a recent interview with Bazaar, Arterton said her go-to scent was a men's fragrance: "I love it because it's really fresh and citrusy, but not sharp or heavy. It reminds me of fresh laundry. People know I love it so much that every Christmas I get gifted the matching candle."

When asked by Bazaar, the actress explained: "I like to be low-key with my fragrance, I don't like overpowering perfumes on other people or myself. Currently, Kiehl's Musk Eau de Toilette Spray and Kai by Gaye Straza Perfume Oil, which is the same name as my son, are my favourites as they're fresh. It's that just-got-out-of-the-shower smell."

Sarandon revealed to us that she too, like Gemma Arterton, is a fan of wearing men's fragrance: "I don't have a signature scent as such, but I prefer masculine scents like sandalwood – Eva from the Italian perfumer Santa Maria Novella is a favourite. I tend to adopt a new perfume when I take on a new role. For instance Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez was referred to in Twilight, a movie I did with Paul Newman, so I wore that when filming."

When Kate Middleton married Prince William back in 2011, she was wearing White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum. The small brand behind the soft, floral scent then became huge overnight, with every 50ml bottle selling out immediately after the news broke that the Duchess had worn it.

“I wear a scent from Bond No. 9, which is a fragrance place out of New York, like actually on Bond Street,” Hailey said in an interview with Elle Australia. “I don’t know what the name of mine is, but all the bottles are in the shape of a star, and mine is red and has music notes on it. It smells awesome. I like it because it’s not like a super girly scent, like or a boy or a girl could wear it. And secretly, the reason I know what the scent is is because a boy had been using it, and I was like, ‘I like this for myself, so I’m gonna use it.’”

Kate Moss is a fan of Cerf Blanc by La Maison Hedonique. She's not the only A-lister that loves the scent, as Samantha Morton, Nick Grimshaw, Jonathan Ross and Sadie Frost (who shared the scent with Moss) also all apparently wear it.
