Everybody and their mama have their own fragrances nowadays. It’s unbelievable to go down the list of celebrities that have their own perfume.

J.Lo was the real force behind this trend for the 21st century when she launched her own perfume Glow by J.Lo back in 2002. It was wildly successful, and she went on to make nine others. But just because it’s successful for one does not mean it will work for all.

For example, I think Queen Latifah’s perfume stinks. And that’s all there is to it. I’m not sure if her intent was to smell like great-grandma, but if it was then mission: accomplished.

Now, I’m not sure what her process was, but I’ve seen it time and time again on E! News. The celeb puts on a lab coat and goggles and stands around with her hands clasped like she really did something while the real workers are dropping little liquid beads into beakers as they swish it around. Then the celeb smells it, and says, “That’s it!” Everyone applauds the celeb; no one mentions the one who mixes.

Among the mediocre, there are two celebrities that have come out with new perfumes, that may or may not be worth it. And of course I’m going to give my opinions!

Kim Kardashian by Kim Kardashian. This smells exactly how you’d expect — sexy, feminine and soft. It’s very warm, and it has floral note, specifically gardenia and orchid. Definitely for nighttime use.  I give this perfume 3.5 sniffs out of 5.

SJP NYC by Sarah Jessica Parker. This fragrance is so much fun! It smells delightful and once you put it on, you’ll probably keep smelling yourself. No lie. It’s so much different from her first two perfumes (and by different, I mean better). It has notes of wild strawberry, gardenia, mandarin, rum, and creamy musks. This is what I imagine what Carrie Bradshaw would have smelled like (if I, uh, actually thought about how Carrie Bradshaw smelled lol). I give this one 5 sniffs out of 5!

Now there are perfumes out there by Halle Berry, Celine Dion, and others, but Kim Kardashian and SJP NYC are worth buying and wearing.
