I smelled it recently and thought that this has to be among the top celebrity fragrances I've ever smelled. What's your pick?

I have never smelt a celeb fragrance I would dream of buying. Fame was a fruity boring floral on me, which it the same as 99.9% of other celeb fragrances out there. I now ignore every fragrance which is linked to a celeb of any sort.

Jeez thats easy , you probably never smelled Naomi Campbel by Naomi Campbell:-)
That one is really good.
I had it when i was a kid, and never bought any other celeb.

Lady gaga is so average and boring:-)

Gaga is gagging awful. Madonna's take on Fracas was better, but that isn't saying much, although it does seem that she was involved in the creation of it (by telling the perfumer what she didn't like), and the creation took a long time. I can't think of a single cleb frag I am remotely interested in.

Not a fan of Fame either, too sweet and boring. As David was saying, Madonna's truth or dare is more interesting, though it was inspired by an even better frag, Fracas.

This. l also have a mini of Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds, which l think is better than the vast majority of celebuscents out there. And l've read good things about SJP's Lovely, but l haven't tried it.

Yes, I'd pick Lovely as one of the better ones, although I tend to give celebrity smells a wide berth, so I'm not that familiar with them. I did give Fame a whirl and thought it was dull. I was wearing 31 Rue Cambon once and someone asked me if I was wearing one of Kylie Minogue's range (!) - so maybe hers are OK, although I haven't tried any of them

I have no idea as I don't pay serious attention to them, except Truth or Dare, which I happened upon at Heathrow Airport. I think it's rather well made.

I have a weakness for JLo Glow...

Glow is another fragrance that works really well as a Fab Con (not Glow itself, you understand, but a fragrance like it made for Fab Con.)

JLo Deseo for Men is a fairly enjoyable, if linear, synthetic tobacco-ish scent. I wear it every once in a while.

I usually run from 'celebrity' fragrances but while running I ran into Elle d'Elissa and fell in love. Evidently it is named for a Lebanese singer.

Elizabeth Taylor's Diamonds and Sapphires EDP is a very lovely lily based scent. I actually enjoy wearing it as it is a gentler and less linear take on EL's Dazzling Silver. Someone gave it to me as a gift. At first I was a bit surprised that I would get a celebuscent, but most people think they are just fine. It is quite nice.

L.A.M.B. is also pretty nice.

I really liked Truth or Dare but thought Fame was awful.

I also find Madonna's 'remake' of Fracas very satisfying.

Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds is great, too.
So is the Dynasty perfume by Charles of the Ritz
called Krystle (if that counts as a celeb frag).

As for Fame, I like Britney's Fantasy - which Fame is obviously
copying - way better. And I don't like that one that much!
