11 Best Celebrity-loved Signature Scents Vloggers Swear By
Introduction
I faced a small but real challenge: my fragrance shelf looked beautiful, but every scent felt generic—safe, pleasant, forgettable. I wanted perfumes with personality, ones that YouTubers I trust consistently praised and wore as their signature. So I went on a scent hunt, testing what top fragrance vloggers recommend, and I’m sharing my discoveries with you.
Why I trust these vlogs
I follow YouTubers who live and breathe perfume: they know concentration levels, projection, sillage, and longevity like sommeliers know wine. Their recommendations are practical, experience-based, and often include wear-test notes, so I can tell what will actually work for everyday life.
How I picked these 11 scents

What to look for when choosing a signature scent
Fragrance family and personality Decide if you want floral, woody, oriental, fresh, or gourmand. Think about daily contexts: office, gym, date nights, travel. I recommend starting with your lifestyle—then narrow to families vloggers praise.
Concentration matters Eau de Parfum (EDP) is a solid balance of longevity and price. Parfum lasts longest but can be intense. Eau de Toilette and cologne are lighter and great for layering.
Longevity and sillage Consider how long you want the scent to last and how far it projects. Vloggers will often test 8–12 hours on skin—use that as a rough guide.
Seasonality and application Lighter, fresher scents work best spring/summer; warm gourmands and heavy florals suit fall/winter. Apply to pulse points and hair lightly for natural diffusion.
Sampling before committing Always sample at home for several hours and through your day. Vlogger-tested scents often transform over time; skin chemistry can shift the balance.
Practical buying tips
- Buy from authorized retailers to avoid fakes.
- Ask for a vial or travel spray first.
- If budget-conscious, pick a versatile EDP that covers multiple occasions.
- Consider decants and discovery sets if you want multiple signatures without committing to full bottles.

Final thoughts from a vlogger-approved perspective
I treat perfume like an accessory that completes an outfit and frames my mood.
