Rihanna has been a fan of Dior scents for years, starting first through an introduction to its scent staples by her mother, and later by way of participation in a fashion campaign with the brand. “My first introduction to J’adore Dior was my mom. My mom used to sell perfume at a duty-free store,” the star exclusively told Bazaar. “She would come home with the testers when they were down to the end, and they had to put out a new tester,” she said. “J’adore was one of those ones that were always there. And that’s where my love for J’adore started.”

Leave it to Cardi B to turn a fragrance into a full-blown performance. Mugler Angel Nova is her latest go-to fragrance, which she incorporated into her “Imaginary Playerz” music video and TikToks. Cardi calls it her “sexy little secret,” the kind of perfume that “oozes sexiness and gives the highest stiletto.” She doesn’t just stop at spritzing before a night out either; she jokes she’d even wear it to bed, swearing it “gives a real good impression for a first date.”

Charli XCX might personify the “brat girl” aesthetic, but her signature scent is anything but chaotic; it’s Byredo Bibliothèque, and yes, she’s constantly carting a bottle along on tour. In a British GQ video, the popstar shared that while she adores many Byredo scents, Bibliothèque is her unwavering go-to. She’s even unapologetically oversprayed it, noting: “That’s their problem, not mine. I think it smells great.”

Sabrina Carpenter may have her own fragrance line, but when it comes to her personal signature scent, she opts for something a little cozier, like Maison Margiela’s Replica By the Fireplace. As she revealed in a video segment, this smoky‑sweet gem is her go‑to before stepping out: “It’s a great look for a night on the town,” she said. With its warm blend of chestnut, crackling embers, and vanilla‑tinged haze, it’s the olfactory equivalent of wrapping yourself in a soft cashmere blanket in front of a roaring hearth.
