bdTrial: Celeb fragrances put to the test

The BD team get their #fangirl on with a trial of fave celeb fragrances.

Beyond by David Beckham
David Beckham is sahhhhhhhh hot. A real DILF, if you please. The hair, the accent, the rig, the tattoos - it’s all good. Vic (look at me talking about her like we’re #besties) is one lucky gal. Because I’m not a creep at all, *cough, sometimes I like to spritz his cologne on and just pretend he’s my bae and I just naturally smell like him cause, you know... The fragrance is a real winner with top notes of mojito accord, grapefruit and cardamom, heart notes of geranium, cedarwood and black pepper, and base notes of patchouli, vanilla and leather. As you can imagine with all that going on, it’s pretty much sex in a bottle. - Kelly

Jessica Mauboy Be Beautiful 
I loved seeing this home-grown beauty of ours come out with a fragrance of her own. She does us proud just thinking about her budding days on Idol! The EDT sure doesn’t disappoint. It’s such a playful, nonchalant scent that you can’t help but associate it with Jessica Mauboy's smile. It first hits you with notes of cyclamen, magnolia and frangipani and then hints of fresh apples and cucumber. There’s no such thing as too much of this fragrance - I’ve been spritzing it at my desk every chance I’ve had. I’ll never tire of the compliments, so keep them coming friends! - Joc

Katy Perry Killer Queen Oh So Sheer
I never use to be a fan of Katy Perry. Sure I loved her songs - but I felt her branding was a little too “young” for me. Clearly I was disillusioned! Ever since attending her concert courtesy of a beauty brand and going on to watch her Part of Me documentary, I’ve become a little obsessed. What can I say, the girl’s got talent. And it seems this talent goes beyond the singing, with Perry’s Killer Queen Oh So Sheer fragrance hitting all the right notes (pun intended). A truly feminine scent, it features top notes of purple plum, mulberry, blackberry and elderberry, middle notes of plumeria, red velvet flower, freesia and lilac, and base notes of patchouli, cashmeran and liquid praline. I’m in love... - Yelena

Beyoncé Heat Kissed
Who isn’t a fan of Beyoncé!? She’s got Yeezy and Obama both on speed dial, something I doubt us mere mortals could achieve in a lifetime. So anything that will bring me one step closer to the self-proclaimed Diva is fine by me. Beyoncé Heat Kissed Eau de Parfum is a spicy concoction of exotic smells that (I imagine) smells just like the songstress herself. Described as “warm, woody and fruity” in one, the perfume combines dragon fruit, lychee and mango with orchid, jasmine and patchouli. - Sarah
