Decoded: Your favourite celebrity’s signature scents

A perfume is one of the most powerful “tells” of a person. From warm ambers and sweet vanilla to a bouquet of fresh florals or smoky tobacco, the scent you wear is an extension of your personality. It can be comforting, mysterious, or utterly magnetic—a silent signature that announces you before you even speak. Ever wondered what your favourite celebrity chooses to spritz themselves with? We’ve got you covered.

Shah Rukh Khan: Diptyque Tam Dao + Dunhill - For a mysterious, woody scent

King Khan’s signature mix is as iconic as his on-screen charisma: a warm, magnetic blend that lingers long after he leaves the room. Diptyque’s Tam Dao offers creamy sandalwood and cedar notes that feel grounded yet sensual, while Dunhill adds a bold masculine edge with amber and spice. Wear this to feel enigmatic, magnetic, and utterly unforgettable.

Alia Bhatt: Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia - For a soft, romantic scent

Sweet, luminous, and a little whimsical just like Alia Bhatt herself. Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia is a delicate floral with hints of magnolia, jasmine, and musk that smells like bottled sunshine. Romantic without ever being cloying, it radiates optimism and effortless sophistication.

Hailey Bieber: Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique - For a fresh, floral scent

Hailey Bieber’s fragrance of choice is as polished as her signature glazed-skin aesthetic. Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique opens with crisp peach and bergamot before melting into a floral heart of jasmine and peony. Light, modern, and impossibly chic, it’s the olfactory equivalent of dewy skin and a slicked-back bun. Spritz it on before brunch or a big meeting and instantly feel put-together.

Deepika Padukone: Narciso Rodriguez For Her - For an elegant, musky scent

Sultry yet subtle, Narciso Rodriguez For Her mirrors Deepika Padukone’s red-carpet aura: graceful, confident, and effortlessly composed. Its blend of musk, amber, and rose is perfect for evenings when you want to feel in control, poised, and alluring.

Ranveer Singh: Atkinsons Oud Save The Queen 

For a bold, oriental scent

Leave it to Ranveer Singh to choose a fragrance as daring and dramatic as he is. Atkinsons Oud Save The Queen is a smoky, rich concoction of oud, clove, and tonka bean that commands attention the second it enters a room. Warm, spicy, and intriguing, it’s the scent for velvet suits, candlelit evenings, and laughter that stretches past midnight.

Kendall Jenner: By Far Daydream of a Bingo Queen - For a warm, sublime scent

Minimalist on the surface, complex underneath: that’s Kendall Jenner, and her perfume reflects that perfectly. By Far Daydream of a Bingo Queen pairs creamy tonka bean and soft musk with a whisper of floral warmth, creating a modern, mysterious scent. It’s the perfect “natural” fragrance that is understated yet impossible to ignore.

Perfume is far more than the final step in your getting-ready ritual; it’s a statement of identity. The fragrances we wear become our invisible signature. So the next time you spritz, think of it as channelling your inner A-lister: confident, composed, and unforgettable.
