Perfumes Used by Celebrities: What Indian Icons Wear, And Our Closest Picks

You catch a memorable scent at a wedding, party or red-carpet event. You want to know what it is, and whether you can find something with the same feel. That curiosity helps make perfumes used by celebrities a perennial search in India, from Instagram fragrance reels to festive-season shopping.

The honest answer: a celebrity’s personal perfume is not always publicly confirmed, and a product endorsement is not proof of everyday use. But you can choose a scent that captures the same mood (fresh, floral, bold or woody) without paying a star’s price tag.

Perfumes by Janta Shoppe brings seven decades of fragrance expertise since 1957, backed by three generations of family service and a perfumer on call for personal recommendations. Shop with 100% authentic products guaranteed, free shipping across India on orders above ₹999, partial COD available, and discounts up to 45%.

Prices and availability can change. Check the product page for current options.

1. Red-Carpet Fresh: The Versace Eros Mood

A red-carpet scent can be bright, confident and easy to recognise. Versace Eros brings that energy with mint, candy apple, citrus, vanilla and woods. Think fresh opening, warmer finish.

We’re not claiming a particular Indian celebrity wears Eros. This is a style pick for anyone looking for an attention-ready fragrance with a polished designer feel.

Closest picks

• Versace Eros Eau de Parfum for Men, 100 ml: mint, candy apple, lemon, mandarin, vanilla, sandalwood and cedar. ₹8,499. Often wears around 8–10 hours, depending on skin and weather.
• Versace Eros Pour Femme Eau de Parfum, 100 ml: lemon, bergamot, pomegranate, jasmine, peony, musk and woods. ₹9,499. A bright floral-woody option for celebrations.

2. The Timeless French Classic: Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male

Lavender, mint and vanilla create Le Male’s familiar fresh-to-warm profile. The scent style pairs a clean opening with a sweet, smooth base, well suited to evening plans and celebrations. Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances have also been mentioned by Kareena Kapoor Khan in a public interview; that is not a claim that she wears Le Male. Read a report on her fragrance preferences.

Closest pick: Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male EDT for Men, 75 ml, lavender, mint, cardamom, cinnamon, amber, tonka and vanilla. ₹6,435. Allow around 6–8 hours as a practical estimate; performance varies in heat and humidity.

3. The Bollywood Bride Mood: Gucci Bloom

For a wedding look that calls for a rich floral, Gucci Bloom offers jasmine, tuberose and Rangoon creeper. It’s a confident white-floral profile for a reception, evening function or special gift.

This is a scent-style recommendation, not a claim about what a Bollywood bride or actor personally wears. For another publicly reported celebrity fragrance example, Vogue has written about Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif’s past association with Narciso Rodriguez For Her. Read the Vogue report.

Closest pick: Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum for Women, 100 ml, jasmine, tuberose and Rangoon creeper. ₹9,450. Expect approximately 6–8 hours; the floral profile can feel especially fitting for evening wear.

4. The Unisex 90s Icon: Calvin Klein One Gold

The CK One era made clean, easy-to-share fragrance feel modern. For a similar unisex direction, CK One Gold blends fig, bergamot and sage with neroli, jasmine, violet and woods. It’s lighter and more relaxed than a dense evening perfume.

Janhvi Kapoor has publicly spoken about mixing men’s and women’s perfumes. That’s a useful reminder that fragrance style need not follow a strict label; it does not mean she wears this particular CK scent. Read the interview report.

Closest pick: Calvin Klein One Gold EDT, 100 ml, fig, bergamot, sage, jasmine, violet and vetiver. ₹4,649. Lighter wear; carry a travel atomizer for a mid-day refresh in hot weather.

5. The “Smells Expensive for Less” Style: Armaf Club De Nuit Intense

A crisp fruity opening followed by smoky woods gives this fragrance its bold, dressed-up character. Pineapple, lemon, apple and blackcurrant meet birch, rose, jasmine, vanilla and patchouli. It’s a popular style for evenings when you want a noticeable scent without choosing a luxury-priced bottle.

Closest pick: Armaf Club De Nuit Intense EDT for Men, 105 ml, ₹799 — the most striking price-to-performance gap in this guide, and a reminder that smelling expensive is about the composition, not the price tag. Performance is often around 8–10 hours, but heat, humidity and skin can change wear time.

6. The Statement Evening Scent: Jaguar Classic Black

For a sharper evening profile, Jaguar Classic Black combines bright fruit and citrus with sea notes, tea, spice and woods. The result is aromatic and polished, with a warm base of musk, sandalwood, cedar and tonka.

Closest pick: Jaguar Classic Black EDT for Men, 100 ml, tangerine, bitter orange, apple, sea notes, tea, cardamom, sandalwood and amber-toned woods. ₹2,695. A practical wear estimate is 6–8 hours, depending on conditions.

7. The Bold Blue All-Rounder: Riiffs Imperial Blue

A versatile blue fragrance works from daytime plans to casual evenings. Imperial Blue opens with lemon, apple and mint, then moves into geranium, vetiver and moss. Vanilla, cedar and tonka give it a smooth finish.

Closest pick: Riiffs Imperial Blue EDP for Men, 100 ml, ₹2,339. Expect approximately 7–9 hours as a guide, not a guarantee.

8. The Fresh Arabian Profile: Rasasi Hawas

Hawas blends citrus and fruit with watery notes, cinnamon, orange blossom, ambergris, musk and driftwood. The result is fresh and lively up top, with a deeper base that suits evening plans as well as casual wear. It’s an Arabian fragrance-house pick, not a claim about any celebrity’s personal collection.

Closest pick: Rasasi Hawas EDP for Men, 100 ml. ₹3,499. Its fresh-aquatic profile often wears around 8–10 hours, subject to application and weather.

How to Wear a Celebrity-Style Scent Without Smelling Like a Copy

• Choose your own version of the mood. Pick the notes you enjoy, not just a celebrity name.
• Layer lightly. Use an unscented moisturiser first. Avoid layering two strong perfumes unless you have tested them together.
• Apply to pulse points. Neck and inner elbows are practical spots. Let the fragrance dry; do not rub your wrists together.
• Be selective with clothing. A light mist on fabric can last longer, but test delicate materials first.
• Adjust for Indian weather. Start with fewer sprays in humid heat. Reapply when needed rather than overspraying.
• Ask before you buy. Message our perfumer on WhatsApp with your preferred notes, budget and occasion for a personalised match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do celebrities actually wear the perfumes they endorse?

An endorsement confirms a commercial relationship. It does not confirm the celebrity wears that fragrance every day. Look for dated interviews or first-person statements when checking reported preferences.

What perfume do Indian celebrities wear?

There is no single answer. Some celebrities have named or discussed specific fragrances publicly; others have not. For example, Shah Rukh Khan has been reported as describing a mix of two fragrances without identifying exact bottles. Read the report.

How do I find a similar scent for less?

Start with the notes and mood: fresh aquatic, sweet floral, smoky fruity or woody amber. Then compare options by profile and price. Ask the perfumer for a tailored recommendation.

Which celebrity-style perfumes last longest in Indian weather?

Richer EDPs with woods, musk, amber or vanilla often have stronger staying power than light citrus or EDT profiles. In this guide, Eros, Club De Nuit Intense and Hawas are estimated around 8–10 hours; your experience may differ.
