What are the Best Celebrity Scents?

Thread Starter 
Thought this would be a fun topic since there's some real hidden gems out there. My list so far is:

Michael Jordan Legend (New Haarlem on the cheap)

David Beckham Homme

Hillary Duff With Love (A feminine but completely unisex, gives a coconut/tropical feel)

McGraw Southern Blend (It's the best of the line, but considering how terrible the others are that's not saying much lol)

Sean John Unforgivable (Overpriced for what it is, but a decent MI clone)

Mine would be:
1. David Beckham Homme
2. Sean John Unforgivable
3. Sean John I'm King of the night
4. Antonio Banderas Black Seduction
5. Santana for Him
6. Usher Him (black bottle)
7. Power 50 Cent
8. Tim McGraw Southern Blend
9. Daddy Yankee

I've heard a lot about MJ Legend but never got a chance to test it. Moreover, it is not available anywhere (in India). Its on my test list.

Power by 50 cents smells like Black XS to me, save for the citrus top note added..
DB Homme doesn't resemble MJ Bang but rather, TdH(EDC)..

I suppose if someone gave me a bottle of Unforgivable I could live with it, but anything else is likely to be used as a toilet air-freshener

Cumming / Santana for Men / Mark Birley for Men are well-constructed and purchaseworthy. The vast majority of the remainder fall somewhere between mediocre and risible IMHO.

Personally haven't bothered to try many celeb fragrances, and the one or two I have tried I didn't like. However, I love the smell of Avril Lavigne Forbidden Rose on my wife. I like that one a lot.

Many are horrible, but imo, the ones listed below are all worth mentioning. I have tested/owned A LOT of celebrity fragrances.

Antonio Banderas: Blue Seduction
Antonio Banderas: Seduction in Black
Antonio Banderas: Spirit
Antonio Banderas: Spirit VIP
Sean John: Unforgivable
David Beckham Homme
David Beckham Instinct Intense (harder to find now)
Intimately Beckham
Paris Hilton for Men
Daddy Yankee
McGraw
McGraw Southern Blend
Michael Jordan

Honorable mention(s):
Usher

P.S.
I am glad to see more love for David Beckham Homme on here. It's a very nice one, reminiscent of TdH, but more wearable really. Wore this for my SOTD yesterday. Perfect for perfect weather!

I am not to big on celeb frags, but actually own 2. They are both great and have already been mentioned, so I'll second (or third) Antonio Banderas Seduction in Black and Tim McGraw Southern Blend. Though I enjoy both very much, Seduction in Black gets worn much more often.

Totally underrated and little known: a currently discontinued Julio Iglesias scent from the early 90s.

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI FOR MEN An incredible violet over woods melange. Really beautiful and really underrated.

..........also, CHER UNINHIBITED

..........GABRIELA SABATINI, (her first womens release) A rich honeyed tobacco fragrance, very wearable for a man.

......... MICHAEL JACKSON, (bottle with hologram on front). Similar to Boss Spirit, a very high quality fragrance.

I highly recommend all of these.

+1 for Southern Blend. Easy to find and relatively inexpensive.
