If Andy Warhol were alive today, what fragrance would you expect him to wear?

Thread Starter 
I'm looking for fragrances that would remind you of people like Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick or even certain famous people today like maybe Mary-Kate Olsen.
I'm looking for something not too masculine either. It can be a women's fragrance as long as it's not too feminine for a male to wear.

What comes immediately to mind for me on this query is Le Labo Rose 31: its rose and pepper and other things. It's masculine mostly and a little dirty and subtle and enigmatic-- almost traditional, but not. I think Andy would have loved it.

He'd continue to wear No.5 Chanel like he did way back when. Some guys don't like to stray from their true favorites and this was one of them.

I think he would like CdG Odeur 71 or 53. Maybe even one of the Guerrilla's (yeah, I am pretty sure that is spelled wrong!)
One of the problems with celebrity scents is that so many celebrities have scents. Mary-Kate and Ashley have perfumes, Andy Warhol had one, too. And/Or there is mucho publicity about what they wear/wore. Takes much of the guess work out when it is so well publicized as to what they wear.

I second the CdG scents... i think the Odeur 53 / 71 scents would appeal a lot to Mr. Warhol.

I could imagine Etat Libre d'Oranges Jasmine et Cigarette for him (although he would for sure loathe their pomopous marketing concept)...

There are several scents with Andy Warhol's name on them. I can't imagine him not wearing them. I like the one in the yellow bottle with the dollar signs on it, but wasnt as enthused with the one in the blue bottle.

I too think he'd wear one of the scents with his name and dollar signs on the bottle. Beyond that I've seen several doodle drawings he did of Guerlain bottles. I remember one in particular that played on the curlie-cues of the L'Heure Bleue bottle's top. "Hey, cool, I've got a bottle of that stuff," I said to myself.

Andy was buried with a bottle of Beautiful (Estee Lauder). It was allegedly his favorite fragrance at the time of his death.

I wonder how Andy Warhol and Mary-Kate Olsen are related.
I think warhol would wear something like Tom Ford Black Orchid or Kingdom or Coco Mademoiselle.

I think he would probably have his own line of fragrances, and whatever they would be they would probably either
a) push the envelope of modern fragrances in an interesting direction or
b) smell like Campbell's Soup or Brillo pads.

Apparently, he was said to have liked- strangely or not- Blenheim Bouquet, but this may be nothing but a Creed-style urban legend
