Choosing a perfume is hard.

Designer fragrances often don’t justify their steep price tags with unique, memorable scents, but inexpensive body sprays don’t have the staying power to make drowning yourself in endless spritzes worth it.

In comes the celebrity perfume.

Once a backbone of the perfume industry, these affordable scents aren’t too popular anymore. (There’s a great article in Cosmo that explains how social media has replaced the need for celebs to connect to their fans through scents, which partially explains their decline.)

But you’d be surprised to find that some of your favorite stars are still releasing signature scents, and that you can still get celebrity fragrances that have been on the shelves for decades.

From Lady Gaga’s Fame, which shoppers were actually scared to wear when she announced it was made with her own blood (it wasn’t) to Britney Spears’ fragrance empire (24 scents and counting), there are a lot of celebrity fragrances still out there.

So I took a trip to my local fragrance outlet and searched deep through Amazon reviews to try and find the absolute best celebrity perfumes.

Here’s what I came up with.

Glow – Jennifer Lopez

Kohl’s

J-Lo’s Glow has a lot of variations. My personal favorite is the aquatic and fresh “Blue Glow” which made me want to get dressed up for a night out with the girls and dance my troubles away. The scent came out in 2002, the same year J-Lo released “Jenny From the Block.” Glow inspired other celebs to get on the fragrance train. It’s definitely a throwback — which shows in some of the packaging — but surprisingly the scent still holds up! Its sexy, post-shower clean smell has wide appeal.
