Extravagant scents for Charlene and classics for Meghan Markle: the favorite perfumes of queens and princesses.
No trendy look is complete without a special scent. Members of royal families also choose the perfumes they use very carefully over the years.
Coco Chanel said, “Elegance is not possible without perfume. It is an invisible, unforgettable and unique accessory.”
Important
The royal family seems to agree, choosing scents from top brands to complement their personal looks.
Most of them are Chanel No. For high end perfumes like 5 sticks to an average price of around £100-120.
But the usually frugal Princess Anna has surprisingly expensive taste. Daily Mail writes about which scents queens and princesses prefer.
Kate Middleton
Jo Malone Orange Blossom cologne – £118 for 100ml. Kate used the Jo Malone scent at her wedding in 2011: Candles with this special scent were lit during the wedding ceremony.
Created in 2003, Jo Malone is described as modern and refreshing with its “warm and soft powdery scent.”
However, Kate herself was wearing a spring scent with white floral notes by British perfumer Illuminum. White Gardenia Petals sold out instantly.
Its scent is described as a floral blend of blackcurrant, lily, gardenia, ylang-ylang and jasmine.
The late Queen Elizabeth II elizabeth
The late Queen Elizabeth preferred three luxury perfumes throughout her life.
Timelessly classic Chanel No. He became a fan of its scent. 5, I bought it as a gift.
In a 1955 letter to Prince Philip’s chief of staff, Frederick Arthur Montague Browning, the Queen wrote: “As always, you have discovered exactly what I was specifically looking for and I would like to thank you sincerely for the birthday gift of Chanel, which I am already using and I hope this makes me smell even better!”
Queen Elizabeth is also said to prefer Guerlain’s L’Heure Bleue, which the luxury brand describes as “the scent of time standing still.” The scent was created in 1912 and has a spicy citrus note with a dusty hint.
The third fragrance by Floris London. It is known as the Queen’s favorite perfume brand and has even received a Royal Warrant.
Her favorite scent was White Rose by Floris, a rich and vibrant floral scent. The Queen is said to have worn this on her wedding day.
The scent was released in 1800 and is one of the oldest scents created by the House of Floris. It contains fresh white rose aromas with notes of amber, musk, iris, jasmine and violet.
Princess Diana
The late Princess of Wales had many favorite scents, but British brand Penhaligon’s Bluebell was Diana’s favorite scent throughout her adult life.
The scent contains notes of citrus mixed with essences of lily of the valley, jasmine and rose, as well as a hint of clove and cinnamon, making it the perfect balance of freshness, florals and warmth.
The late Princess of Wales wore Houbiquant’s Quelques Fleurs on her wedding day in 1981: a blend of tuberose, jasmine, lily of the valley and rose.
Houbiquant was founded in Paris in 1775 and became the perfume house of royal houses throughout Europe.
And in his Spare memoir, Prince Harry said one of his mother’s favorite scents was First by Van Cleef & Arpels.
He called the perfume, which consists of hyacinth, rose, jasmine, amber and sandalwood notes, “my mother’s favorite perfume.”
Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle is thought to have taken pages from Diana’s beauty book over the years, but the couple also share common ground in their fragrance choices.
The former actress revealed that one of her favorite scents is Jo Malone’s Wild Bluebell.
It is described as “the delicate sweetness of moist bells infused with notes of lily of the valley and rosehip and a juicy persimmon.”
This favorite scent seems to be reminiscent of Penhaligon’s Bluebell, which Princess Diana loved to wear.
They share many of the same notes, including citrus floral notes and notes of lily of the valley, rose, jasmine, and carnation.
Another scent the duchess loves is Jo Malone’s Wood Sage and Sea Salt colognes.
Meghan also revealed that she loves wearing the fruity Oribe Cote D’Azur scent.
It is described as having fruity notes of fresh lemon, black currant, bergamot and Sicilian orange, but with notes of sandalwood and fresh amber.
Meghan also loves Givenchy fashion and Dahlia Divin fragrance.
Princess Anne
Princess Anne remained loyal to Hermès’ Calèche for many years.
A “warm and sensual” fragrance with feminine notes of wood, chypre, orange and tangerine flower.
This fragrance was created in 1961 and is the first fragrance of this fashion house. Priced at over £200.
Princess Beatrice
In 2009, for her 21st birthday, Princess Beatrice was presented with a fragrance bearing her name.
It was later reported that one of Paris’ leading perfumers had been commissioned to create a unique scent for the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, simply called “Beatrice”.
But the identity of the person who gave her the perfume remained a closely guarded secret.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh
Sophie chose Ralph Lauren’s light Romance scent for her wedding day to Prince Edward.
Ralph Lauren combines sensual, velvety woody notes with beautiful floral notes and soothing musk notes to create a unique, modern floral scent.
Princess Margaret
Princess Margaret, the late Queen’s younger sister, wore the most beautiful scents.
For more than twenty years the Countess of Snowdon wore Oscar de la Renta.
The founder perfume of the famous brand, created in 1977, has sharp floral notes. It combines notes of lavender, rosemary and clove with notes of orange blossom, peach and gardenia.
grace kelly
Prince Rainier of Monaco reportedly ordered Fleurissimo by Creed as a wedding gift for his future bride, Grace Kelly.
Fleurissimo has a light and feminine scent with notes of tuberose, iris and violet.
The American movie star has since made this scent her signature scent. This scent later became a favorite of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
Princess Charlene of Monaco
Princess Charlene of Monaco has an expensive taste in perfume.
Charlene started using the Extraordinary Camelia 209 during her engagement.
Its aroma is described as “a combination of two types of camellia with Indian cardamom, pink pepper, Chinese tea, cedar, musk, lemon and vanilla.”
Queen Letizia of Spain
Queen Letizia of Spain is known for her impeccable taste. The mother of two prefers Sisley’s French perfume Eau Du Soir.
This perfume has citrus notes and a clean scent that lasts for hours.
The luxury brand describes the scent as “a walk through the Alcazar gardens in Seville, Spain, at dusk as the Syringa flower releases its scent,” making it a scent fit for Spanish royalty.
