Have you ever gotten close enough to your favourite celebrity to discover what they smell like? We doubt it. And it’s unlikely you’ve spent a private moment sorting through their bathroom vanity either. Which leads us to plan C: sleuthing the internet.
After all, how do you think we found out that Jodie Comer wears Le Labo Santal 33 or that Kate Middleton spritzed this gardenia-infused fragrance on her wedding day?
The truth is, if you search hard enough, there’s a corner of the internet that will tell you the exact fragrance each of your favourite celebrity loves. But who has time for that? Um, we do!
We’ve been able to create a roundup of the exact cologne some of the male A-listers swear by, and yes, you’re very welcome…
The exact cologne celebrities are wearing…
Lenny Kravitz – Yves Saint LaurentY Eau de Toilette
As a brand ambassador for YSL, it comes as no surprise that Lenny’s cologne of choice also comes from the French fragrance house. However, contractual obligation or not, Lenny revealed that he’s been a long-time fan of the brand, in particular their citrus-infused woody scent: Y Eau De Toilette ($172, MECCA).
Dwayne Johnson – Kenzo Pour Homme
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson picks different scents for different characters he plays. For his role as Mitch Buchannon in the recent Baywatch reboot, Dwayne wore Kenzo Pour Homme ($128, Amazon).
“That particular scent reminded me of the outdoors and being by the water. And there was a hint of sexiness and fun to it,” he told Elle.
Sean Combs – Hermés cologne
In an interview with GQ on the 10 things the rapper couldn’t live without, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs revealed that he couldn’t live without his “Hermés cologne”.
And though he couldn’t recall the exact name of it, when he held it up to the camera it was none other than the Voyage d’Hermés ($215, Myer) . Excellent taste, Diddy!
Theo James – Hugo Boss Bottled
The White Lotus star (and former face of Hugo Boss), Theo James shared that his first-ever cologne was Red Spice. As for today? He’s a Hugo Boss Bottled ($114, Myer) fan through and through after being introduced to it when he was staying in a hostel at the ripe age of 18.
Trey Songz – Tom Ford Black Orchid
Earlier this year, the R&B singer revealed to GQ that he often likes to switch up his scents. He wears Tom Ford’s Black Orchid ($156, Myer) cologne but also mixes it with Tom Ford’s White Orchid.
