Celebrity Favourite Perfumes to Buy This Black Friday 2026
Ever wondered what your favourite celebrities actually smell like? Drake named an entire song after his signature scent. Olivia Rodrigo takes hers everywhere she goes. And the fragrance Zoë Kravitz fronts has become one of the most recognisable on the planet.
The good news is that none of these are out of reach. At The Perfumaria you will find the same fragrances the stars wear, all authentic, at prices well below what department stores charge. Whether you like sweet and cosy, bold and fresh, or something warm and a little mysterious, there is something here for you.
Black Friday lands on 27 November this year, and it is the best chance all year to pick up a luxury scent without paying luxury prices. Here are five celebrity favourites worth adding to your list.
1. Drake's Signature Scent: Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
Back in 2013, Drake named a track on Nothing Was the Same after this fragrance. He later told GQ the title came from a Tom Ford scent people said smelled like a brick of cocaine. That was how fans worked out what he wears.
Tuscan Leather opens with raspberry and saffron over rich leather, then settles into suede, amber, and woods. Bold, smooth, and impossible to mistake for anything else.
Evenings, special occasions, and anyone looking for a confident fragrance with a memorable presence.
A distinctive unisex Eau de Parfum with a bold leather character that is designed to make an impression and last through the night.
2. Creed Aventus: The Scent of Success
Aventus is the fragrance men buy when they want to smell successful. Pineapple and blackcurrant open it bright and sharp, then birch and musk pull it into something smoky and grounded underneath.
Creed Aventus has been a reference point in men's fragrance for over a decade, combining bright fruity notes with a smoky, sophisticated base.
Work, business occasions, evenings, and moments when you want to make a confident and polished impression.
Its versatile character makes it easy to wear across different occasions while maintaining a refined and recognizable signature.
3. The Affordable Luxury Pick: Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud
Not every great fragrance has a famous name behind it. This is the one to know if you want that expensive, oud-heavy feel without paying designer prices.
This unisex fragrance delivers a warm, smooth, and oud-focused character that offers a luxurious feel at a more accessible price point.
Cold weather, evenings, and fragrance lovers who enjoy rich, warm, and sophisticated oud-based scents.
The three-piece set includes a full 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum, giving you a substantial fragrance experience rather than just sample-sized products.
4. Lancôme Idôle: Olivia Rodrigo's Everyday Pick
Olivia Rodrigo is best known in fragrance circles for Baccarat Rouge 540, the scent she wears on tour. But the one she actually carries around is Lancôme Idôle. She told Vogue she takes it everywhere.
Idôle combines rose with sweet green jasmine, while bergamot and pear create a youthful opening. Cedar, patchouli, vanilla, and white musk add depth underneath.
Everyday wear, daytime occasions, casual outings, and anyone who enjoys a modern floral fragrance with added warmth and depth.
Its balanced floral composition makes it easy to wear while offering more complexity than a simple rose-based fragrance.
5. Zoë Kravitz and YSL Black Opium
YSL made Zoë Kravitz the face of Black Opium in 2018, and she has fronted it ever since. She has described the fragrance as bold and called it a modern legend.
Black Opium blends coffee, vanilla, and white florals for a playful, warm, and slightly addictive fragrance with plenty of character.
Day-to-night wear, date nights, evenings, and anyone who wants a cosy fragrance with a distinctive edge.
Its combination of coffee, vanilla, and florals gives it enough warmth for evenings while remaining versatile enough for daytime wear.
How to Pick the Right Perfume for You
Choosing a perfume doesn’t have to be hard. Here are some easy tips to help you find the one that fits you best:
- Think About What You Like-: Do you enjoy sweet, fruity, or woody scents? Knowing your taste helps when you shop for perfume online.
- Try It on Your Skin-: Perfumes can smell different to each person. That’s because of your skin and body chemistry. Spray a little on your wrist and wait a few minutes. See how it smells after it settles.
- Match It to the Moment-: Some perfumes are better for daytime, like light and fresh ones. Others are great for night, like deep and rich scents. You can even have different perfumes for work, parties, or relaxing at home.
- Think About the Weather-: In summer, fresh and citrus scents feel cool and clean. In winter, warm and spicy scents feel cozy and comforting. Pick a perfume that matches the season.
- Take Your Time-: Don’t rush. Try the best unisex perfume and see which one feels right. A good perfume should make you smile and feel good every time you wear it.
Tips to Make Your Perfume Last Longer
Want your perfume to stay all day? Here are some simple tricks:
- Use Lotion First-: Perfume sticks better to soft skin. Use an unscented lotion or a little petroleum jelly before spraying. It helps the scent stay longer.
- Spray on Warm Spots-: Your pulse points, like wrists, neck, behind ears, and inside elbows, are warm. These spots help release the scent slowly. Just a few sprays there will keep you smelling great.
- Don’t Rub It-: After spraying, let it dry naturally. Rubbing can break down the scent and make it fade faster.
- Spray After Showering-: Clean, damp skin holds perfume better. Spray right after a shower for the best results.
- Layer Your Scent-: If you have a matching body lotion or shower gel, use it together. This makes the scent stronger and helps it last longer.
- Store It Right-: Keep your perfume away from heat, sunlight, and humidity. Store it in a cool, dark place so it stays fresh.

Final Thoughts
A good fragrance does something no other purchase quite manages. It changes how you feel walking out of the door, and people remember it long after they've forgotten what you wore.
Whether you go for Drake's leather-heavy Tom Ford, Olivia Rodrigo's light everyday floral, or something warm and unexpected like the Lattafa, pick the one that sounds most like you rather than the one with the biggest name attached.
