Angeline Jolie’s favorite ‘fume is said to be Blvgari Black. We think that this fragrance fits Jolie perfectly!

This fragrance starts off with green tea, rose, and bergamot. The heart is creamy with cedar, sandalwood and jasmine. Then comes the voluptuous, rich base of amber, leather, oakmoss, musk and vanilla. This scent screams Jolie!

It opens fresh and green and develops into a heart of iris, vetiver and patchouli. The dry down is sweet and creamy with vanilla, tonka bean, caramel and soft musk.

The moment I sprayed, it it took me straight back to being 15 years old and going on a date. I’m astounded any girl came close to me because I must have stunk. Now I wear Tom Ford Black Orchid.” Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is stylish and bold with its sweet, warm and spicy aroma.

Olene by Diptyque

Through our research, we’ve found that Nicole Kidman is a lover of niche fragrances. One niche scent that she is fond of, in particular, is Olene by Diptyque.
