If You Miss These Nostalgic Celebrity Perfumes, These 7 Smell Pretty Damn Close

I’ll just say it: Celebrity perfumes aren’t what they used to be. (Okay, that’s a little dramatic.) I do love a few now from celebs like Ariana Grande, but for the most part, I find myself nostalgic for those memorable and magical scents of the early 2000s when celebrity fragrances were at their peak. My favorite scent memories around that time consist of opening up magazines and smelling the pull-out on the page. That was how I discovered a good majority of the fragrances on this list. (They’re actually my Roman Empire.) I think about these seven celebrity perfumes daily, wishing they were still around so I decided to do something about it. I made it my mission to track down a few key fragrances that smell like my favorite celebrity perfumes of the past. Keep scrolling—there are lots of choices ahead.

Curious by Britney Spears was one of the first fragrances I bought with my own money. I remember that when it first came out, it was such a unique and mysterious scent that made me feel so grown up. While there are a few corners on the internet that you can still snag it from, it’s sadly discontinued, but will always be remembered by yours truly as one of the best celebrity scents of all time. If you’re dying to try a scent with similar notes that oozes the same vibe, try Aerin’s Tuberose du Jour which also features notes of uplifting jasmine and tuberose.
