Any ladies own any perfumes that have a celebrity name on it? I have Lady Gaga Fame and it smells pretty good. I tried to find Adam Levine, but the Macys I went to didn't carry it :( Any luck? I hear it smells good. I'm hoping Pitbull comes out with one. :D

I had perfume samples of a few. The last one was Jennifer Aniston's, and it smelled just like the old Sand N Sable.

Miami glow?

Best one ever.
Also limited edition, they took it off the market.

I have M by Mariah Carey and I love the smell of it. The musky patchouli balances out the sweet marshmallow. All the rest of my perfumes are from fashion houses (Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Victoria's Secret) and cosmetic brands (Clinique, Body Shop). I'm not really into other celebrity fragrances.

I remember receiving some of Beyoncé's perfume a while ago. It was a little too heavy for me so I never used it.

I've always found celebrity perfumes rather kitschy.

I respect the fact that people seem to feel attracted to everyting that has got something to do with celebrities but I am fed up with all these celebrity named commercial items!

The fact that a perfume is linked to a celebrity does not mean that it is a great fragrance. On the contrary!
The only reason why celebrities lend their name to perfumes and other stuff is to earn even more money than they already do.
I have never bought a fragrance nor anything else with the name of a celebrity attached to it and I probably never will. I sincerely wonder how many nasty smelling, tacky celebrity perfumes have to be released on the market before people finally get tired of them!

The celebrity cultus that seems to rule nowadays has gone totally overboard. I have abolutely nothing against celebrities bu tI see them as everyday folks like us or worse. Anyway, half the time I don't even know who they are because I've never heard them.

I tried a sample of J Lo Glo. I think the first perfume. It smelled like baby powder to me and it was too light. I also tried Britney Spear's first perfume too. I do like Lady Gaga Fame. Unfortunately, the Adam Levine one is only sold at NY Macys. :(

I do have non celeb perfumes like Marc Jacobs Lola and Givenchy Dahlia Noir.

Honestly I am with you on everything you say about that. Usually I hate celeb perfumes, they tend to suck badly.
I have no interest in buying "brand name" anything, celebrity or no. I only buy perfume on the rare occasion if I totally fall in love with the scent - which has happen 2 times in the last 10 years.

There has literally only ever been one that I could stand - one I actually liked as far as celeb perfumes go - and I brought it for the smell, not for the fact it was a celeb perfume.
All the rest should be smashed in my opinion. :lol:

I tend not to like perfumes that are very strong or chemical-y, so a lot of celebrity ones irritate my nose. I've smelled some nice ones though. For me, it doesn't matter at all whose name is on the bottle, as long as I like it.

I dislike her music, but I love Katy Perry's "Purr". Cute bottle too.

Most of them are too strong for me, and I find them irritating.
